Does it make sense to do this in the name of equity, equality, and even-handedness? A school district just banned preferred pronouns in emails, pride flags, Black Lives Matter Flags, back the badge signs, and all other personal “political” stuff.
[Kettle Moraine School District Superintendent Stephen] Plum said teachers and administrators are prohibited from displaying political or religious messages in their classrooms or on their person.
No Christian Flags or Trump stuff, or any of that either. Just math, science, geography, history, what kind of school is this?
Trey Korte, a gay man who taught English at Kettle Moraine High School until 2019, expressed his concerns about the decision. “When you remove something that had been there awhile that represented a marginalized group, when you take that away, it does make people feel unwelcome,” he said in an interview with the Associated Press.
So the thing that you put there that identified you as marginalized is gone, and…that’s bad? Imagine a world where everyone at work keeps that crap to themselves, regardless of preference, and just teaches the subject.
What would we call that? How about a SCHOOL?!
Parents are not paying you to advertise your sexuality. It has no place in that building or with students. And putting it out in front of faculty and staff should be considered a form of sexual harassment.
This entire victim culture is backward. You marginalize yourselves, demand special attention, and then you blame everyone else and declare yourself a victim.
Screw that.
I know free speech, and in the context of the classroom and education, have at it. But the Kettle Moraine School District just leveled the playing field in the purest sense of the term. Everyone is a person with equal rights under the law, not because they wave a flag or support some cause but because they are human beings.
Take the win.
Or are you just upset because you can’t groom or indoctrinate other people’s children and lie to the parents about it?
