I also work in a school district. It is very lonely because I can never speak my mind or give an opinion. I have to listen to teachers spew the most idiotic and racist crud without reacting or refuting. I learned to do this the hard way when I once told an officemate that I was voting for Palin (McCain).
She went around and told administrators, counsellors, teachers, and even students. They were much colder to me from then on an it was tough to get through my day at work. Six years to retirement and freedom from this nonsense! My dream is that Trump is still President when I retire.
My hubby works with photographers and a lifelong business contact who knew he was voting for Trump announced it at a recent conference, several days in a row, to large groups of his associates and potential customers while they were all out to dinner. He had to spend the next hour defending his opinions while he was vilified. He’s been a good friend to the woman who “outed” him and done her many favors over the years. But that meant nothing because she is too full of venom to feel loyalty.
Liberals are the meanest, most small-minded people in the world.
I get this.
I now NEVER discuss politics with any of them... it’s like trying to kill an ant with a bowling ball!!
When people don’t employ logic in their thinking... it’s impossible to discuss this kind of thing with them.
In the 2008 Presidential race, we actually had professors running around here with ‘Obama’ T shirts on!!
Really??
In a school, it’s the professor’s duty to explain how the system works, and to present all the information (good and bad/agree or disagree). As a matter of fact, instructors would be remiss if they DIDN’T explain how our system works and all the pertinent facts.
HOWEVER, once they go on to say: “Oh by the way-Here’s how I am going to vote!”....they just stepped over the line... They are no longer teaching! NOW it’s propaganda!
It’s natural for students and young people to look up to professors and teachers because it’s how students’ respect for authority and willingness to listen and learn actually WORKS.
If adults abuse their position AS instructors….if they take the most unfair advantage of their status, then they are no longer teaching…. they become PROPAGANDISTS!! And they are the most dishonorable, crude and irresponsible kind pf propagandists-influencing young, inexperienced and uninformed people!
Liberals do not GET this!!
