A White teacher taught White students about White privilege. It cost him his job.

A lifelong resident of Kingsport, Hawn was well aware his liberal views made him an outlier in his overwhelmingly White, mostly conservative community. But that had never mattered before. He had taught in the Sullivan County school system for 16 years without any trouble. And he had taught the class that got him fired, “Contemporary Issues,” for nearly a decade without a single parent complaint.

Then at the start of last school year, he made a pronouncement during a discussion about police shootings that would derail his career. White privilege, he told his nearly all-White class, is “a fact.”

Not his job to teach his political opinions as "fact."

 

He'll be embraced by White Conservatism in most places in the North even in mostly white schools in comparison to Tennessee (Southern Conservatism).

• I personally saw the difference growing up in a military family in Kentucky versus growing up in a military family in Illinois.

Have you noticed that your recent message postings have become more based upon race ?

Well your recent message postings encourage readers to purchase drugs on the black market, so I'd take a good look in the mirror before I appoint myself a judge of other's posts.

 

False

One reader was trying to determine how to purchase a drug (not sure what the illness is) in Germany and I replied that he should try crossing the border to France.

He replied it was too far...not a good solution for him.

I replied that many use the black market without me mentioning any links nor names of the black market. In contrast, others mention direct links to the black market.

You on the other hand have specifically been getting into the race issue (color of one's skin) in your posting...now specifically starting threads about race.

Simply, me replying just once to someone's thread that has nothing to do with race but about drugs is much different than you now starting threads about race...don't you think ?

Thus, please no mirror comparison...this is not one.

It's a WaPo article, no different than discussing CRT in schools. I read that thread in T/A about you. You don't want me digging into your "intellectual property."

 

Now you've been exposed and we see you're unable to discuss issues nor make a fair comparison in the Political thread.

Knock yourself out and run to the T/A threads as you've just "threaten to do such" and I'll let Baron or a moderator have a private discussion with you about the purpose for you to run to the T/A section to talk about me.

I'm in the IP business and can tell you're full of hot air.

 

First you try to equate someone talking about drugs and I replied to them a possible solution. Now you mention IP (I didn't) along with you bragging about it...I still have not.

Who's air is hot right now ?

If you're going to have a temper tantrum...please do it with someone else or you can just let off some steam by starting another "race baiting thread".

You were threatening people with your "IP" in that thread.

 

This thread is about race...you can try as hard as you want to make it now about IP without me.

Seriously, grow some balls and man up that you've started this thread about race and let it go.

Yet, if you didn't start this thread about race...I apologize and will gladly admit I was wrong about your race baiting topics. Don't take it personally, I've done the same with others that have done it too...it was no biggie to them when others pointed it out.
