Oh, gee whiz. Not this stuff again.
Better to stick to the subject you are paid to teach. Keep extraneous comments to yourself. You avoid trouble that way. You are hired to teach. Not start a political movement.
So... he is a liar along with everything else.
Now a black teacher teaching about BLM and black racism would be okay.
Teach the course material and leave your politics at home.
Should have his White Privilege covered tongue cut out as well
I’m long past ready for the modern day Dims to quit feeling guilty about their party’s past centuries of slavery and segregation.
Are White Men Gods? (II): Getting the Facts Straight

“...he urged students to do their own research and challenge him if they disagreed.”
I’m sure he anyone who disagreed with him an A+ for showing independent thought and research.
I hope this article was not designed to create sympathy for this nut, because it didn’t. This maroon should not be allowed within 1000 ft of minors as he seeks to indoctrinate in Marxism and not transfer actual age appropriate knowledge in science, mathematics, language, shop, or even literature, and skills like critical thinking.
I fully understand how teaching white privilege won’t fly in Sullivan County.
“Hawn said he’d never heard of critical race theory until he was accused of teaching it.”
Typical Marxist game.
It could in fact be true that he never heard it called CRT. Many people of all stripes are unaware of the roots of the lies they spew. But it’s still racist nonsense.
“He always presented White privilege as an incontestable truth, “
Idiot.
Parents need to chase these idiots out of the schools WE PAY for. Chase them out of town next.
“His firing comes amid a tsunami of conservative outrage about critical race theory, an academic framework for examining systemic racism in the United States that educators contend is rarely taught in public schools.”
That quote commits a vast lie in it’s description of Critical Race Theory (CRT). It purports to say that CRT is merely about examining “systemic racism”, when it fact CRT is not about “examining”, it is 100% about proclaiming many things, without evidence, about racism, period. The theory itself dos not examine with empirical data if and where “systemic” racism exists; it just, without study using empirical data, proclaims (a) systemic racism exists and (b) is pervasive in all U.S. society, and (c) together with “white supremacy” is the founding order of the U.S.
Yet, you cannot learn that from the reported description of CRT in the article.
“The 10-page ruling concluded that he had “acted unprofessionally . . . was insubordinate . . . and [failed] to [present] varying viewpoints, despite knowing he was to do so. Hawn was not getting his job back.”
That’s good. He’s not a teacher, he’s a propagandist.
The article is well written, but perhaps quite over-written.
It’s an article that is also long on showing sympathy for the fired teacher. He did act in an insubordinate manner. He was asked to tone down his political remarks, but brought that video of profane ‘poetry’ anyway because he felt like it.
He screwed up his own $60K per year career.
If he still wants to teach, he would be better off leaving that school district. That might make a difference.
“White privilege, he told his nearly all-White class, is “a fact.””
He is an idiot, and that is a fact.
“Celebrate diversity” has led us into hell.
