BLM is linked to some pretty heavy racial ideology and propaganda yet when criticized, can be used as rhetorical blackmail. Either get on board or you’re a racist is the logic but is driven by fear. There’s an immediate and powerful social block on even questioning this movement. It does not belong in our school building or in these conversations. We can do this work without it.]]> 2020-07-16 11:41:03 UTC https://padlet.com/kathryn_o_broul/26nkscvqtgg0e3jl/wish/655945437 https://padlet.com/kathryn_o_broul/26nkscvqtgg0e3jl/wish/656437405 2020-07-16 23:24:12 UTC https://padlet.com/kathryn_o_broul/26nkscvqtgg0e3jl/wish/656437405 https://padlet.com/kathryn_o_broul/26nkscvqtgg0e3jl/wish/656438040 2020-07-16 23:25:22 UTC https://padlet.com/kathryn_o_broul/26nkscvqtgg0e3jl/wish/656438040 Ignoring the opinions of others who do not fit your narrative https://padlet.com/kathryn_o_broul/26nkscvqtgg0e3jl/wish/658706578 Racism exists at RM in so many forms! We have "advocates" who  alienate  anyone who does not agree with them.  Our own principal does this regularly.
