An Indianapolis school district administrator announced he was fired Monday in the wake of a video he tweeted in early November in which he revealed district’s woke social justice educational agenda.
Tony Kinnett, who served as the science coordinator for Indianapolis Public Schools (IPS), reported on Twitter he was fired for:
•Sharing that IPS recorded children in required racial justice sessions
•Not sending IPS the personal info of [journalists] @TietzKendall and @AndyMarkMiller
•Quoting Dr. Payne’s racist comments to students
•Sharing public files

“It’s clear Indianapolis’ actions are retaliatory from the cobbled-together charges,” Kinnett, now the owner and executive director of the Chalkboard Review, told Breitbart News. “It’s sad to see questions and concerns about transparency tossed aside to protect the horrific words and actions of staff in the district.”
These two charges are my favorite:

In his initial video, Kinnett stated that, as “the science coach and admin in the largest public school district in Indiana,” he is “in dozens of classrooms a week.”
“So, I see exactly what we’re teaching our students,” he said.
“When we tell you that schools aren’t teaching Critical Race Theory that it’s nowhere in our standards, that’s misdirection,” he continued, addressing the fact that many parents who have voiced concerns about the teaching of the tenets of CRT in their schools have been told the Marxist-based philosophy

I could have predicted that. The science folks are the last holdouts against all this nonsense.
Heroes are still out there. This guy took the hit for the home team.
“When you said ‘transparency’ we thought you said, ‘trans parents see.’”
Good for Tony! I hope he lands on his feet.
Civil suit. Hit them.
IPS has always been a cesspool
They arent necessarily “holdouts”
Many “science” people are liberal and have a bias that affects their work
By nature these people in these teaching spots prefer working in fields where in most cases, there’s one obkectively correct answer.
They are tired of the propaganda bs being passed off as genuine education and factually correct. They dont regard it asbeing anything close to the type of teaching they do. They dont want to be lumped in with these brainwashers.
Unlawful termination, but just try and pursue it.
Needs to sue, and sue big.
Thanks blam.
The democrats do not want the parents a say in raising their kids.
Indeed.
Just what in the world is “racial justice sessions”; can somebody explain that?
Here’s a post I just made with a pic of an adult one underway.

That should give you the idea.
That needs a warning!!!!
One of the main reasons there is a lack of conservatives in High Tech is parents.
It takes decades of hard work to ready a young person to be competitive in the high tech world.
My brother and I were lucky as our dad groomed us into engineering starting at a very young age.
We got zero support from most of public education.
Thanks Civ.
Another bad sign of the times... and another reason to move education toward a voucher system.
My pleasure.
