NYC teachers union’s workshop on ‘harmful effects of whiteness’ canceled after influx of ‘hate’
The New York Post ^ | 03/27/2023 | Rich Calder et al

A controversial seminar about white privilege that had been planned by the city teachers’ union for Monday was abruptly canceled — because its host was inundated with “hate messages and disparaging comments.”

The United Federation of Teachers *** had planned the virtual “Holding the Weight of Whiteness” seminar *** before it was postponed over blowback from politicians and online commenters.

Scheduled presenter Erica Sandoval, a Queens licensed clinical social worker, said in a statement that the event addressing the “harmful effects of whiteness in our lives” was canceled when she received “hate messages and disparaging comments being left in my email inbox and on my social media platforms.

“Because of this, UFT expressed concern and we collectively decided to postpone the discussion,” Sandoval said.

The optional course for licensed mental health professionals was focused on “cultural humility and inclusion” and sought to teach educators “how whiteness relates to privilege and identity, and how both become normalized and invisible,” according to literature promoting the event.

“Participants will leave the workshop with a better understanding of how to center ourselves as a form of resistance against the harmful effects of whiteness in our lives, the organizations we work for or direct, and the communities in which we serve,” according to a promo on Instagram.

As usual, can dish it out as much as they want, can’t take even a smidgen of blowback.

A National Hate group is going to hold a conference on their very own Hate, but has to cancel because they got Hate messages from the general public?

You can’t make this sh&t up!!!

Just imagine if a government official scheduled a seminar stating:

Participants will leave the workshop with a better understanding of how to center ourselves as a form of resistance against the harmful effects of blackness in our lives,

A lot of televisions and Nikes would be freed from their plutocratic oppressors in the ensuing riots.

If they want to address societal problems, start with black hood rat ghetto culture. “Whiteness” isn’t a problem.

War isn’t necessarily rooted in hatred.

There were bad things, terrible things perpetrated by “some”
W people during the years of slavery and beyond.

The problem with these idiots, is that they try to blame it
on every W person.

If a Mexican rapes a woman, do we blame it on all Mexicans?
Of course not! That would be racist.

Sadly these fools don’t get the same message when it comes
to W people.

In my lifetime I’ve never seen more racism than these
people trying to foist CRT and other beatdowns on W people
across our nation.

I’d wager this program that got cancelled was terribly
racist. W people should not have to put up with that.

Hate isn’t necessarily wrong, and your crap deserves it.

Just imagine...

Blacks outraged over a seminar saying how “Blackness” is dangerous and toxic is hate... Does it work that way?
