What is being taught is racism with a dash of sexism. Perhaps if we did teach CRT in high school, students would be better equipped to fight it when they get to college. ]]> 2021-11-16 16:58:45 UTC https://padlet.com/bekaadie/z8ophjosrt3v84re/wish/1894701094 bekaadie https://padlet.com/bekaadie/z8ophjosrt3v84re/wish/1894703479 I think this is a really great explanation for CRT. Maybe we should teach this version of CRT in schools. Minus the part about the Republicans. ( don't want to get into trouble, I am sure republicans are not all white supremacists. ;) ) ]]> 2021-11-16 16:59:42 UTC https://padlet.com/bekaadie/z8ophjosrt3v84re/wish/1894703479 bekaadie https://padlet.com/bekaadie/z8ophjosrt3v84re/wish/1894710643
School policies like mask and vaccine mandates are there for everyone's protection. Is it really necessary to put others at risk to express your opinion? ]]> 2021-11-16 17:02:27 UTC https://padlet.com/bekaadie/z8ophjosrt3v84re/wish/1894710643 bekaadie https://padlet.com/bekaadie/z8ophjosrt3v84re/wish/1898253501 As a parent of an unvaccinated child, I am glad people who can vaccinate and choose not to are keeping their children home. It means my child is safer. 
UPDATE: She is vaccinated now, and I am still glad the anti-vax people are choosing to homeschool. ]]> 2021-11-18 00:47:28 UTC https://padlet.com/bekaadie/z8ophjosrt3v84re/wish/1898253501 bekaadie https://padlet.com/bekaadie/z8ophjosrt3v84re/wish/1907378563 The comments at the end of this video remind me of zero-tolerance policies in predominantly black schools. Her statement is correct. If that was a black student we would have seen much harsher discipline come into effect. ]]> 2021-11-23 02:19:56 UTC https://padlet.com/bekaadie/z8ophjosrt3v84re/wish/1907378563 bekaadie https://padlet.com/bekaadie/z8ophjosrt3v84re/wish/1907388812 This was something I found weird too. My school started at 9:15 in Australia. I got up at 8am. Now I get my daughter up to be at school at 8am. ]]> 2021-11-23 02:26:21 UTC https://padlet.com/bekaadie/z8ophjosrt3v84re/wish/1907388812 bekaadie https://padlet.com/bekaadie/z8ophjosrt3v84re/wish/1930035956 This is white privilege at work. It bothers me that this boy is getting his knickers in a knot over his school doing the right thing and advocating for the students who frequently go unseen. And it bothers me even more that when he concludes his speech with his plan to attend a different school where his white privilege will remain intact that the audience celebrates him. ]]> 2021-12-06 00:20:58 UTC https://padlet.com/bekaadie/z8ophjosrt3v84re/wish/1930035956 bekaadie https://padlet.com/bekaadie/z8ophjosrt3v84re/wish/1934718817 "This should not be ok! Is this really what freedom of  speech means? The freedom to threaten someone?"
I actually went back to this post and commented(As above). It bothers me that people who are just trying to implement policies to keep our children safe are being harassed for it.

This guy kills me. I love how dryly points out the "common sense" of this fox news clip. Free lunches for kids could be an excellent policy. As long as it is healthy. ]]> 2021-12-08 00:38:10 UTC https://padlet.com/bekaadie/z8ophjosrt3v84re/wish/1934778670 bekaadie https://padlet.com/bekaadie/z8ophjosrt3v84re/wish/1934951409 A policy to be re-evaluated. Isn't it common sense to let teenagers sleep in more to promote effective learning? ]]> 2021-12-08 02:32:58 UTC https://padlet.com/bekaadie/z8ophjosrt3v84re/wish/1934951409 bekaadie https://padlet.com/bekaadie/z8ophjosrt3v84re/wish/1936790534 I hope the boy in red runs for office someday. He will make sure school policy is to feed Americans well. I also find it interesting that the young girl never has water at school, only milk. Is this industry interfering with education? I wonder how much money is involved with supplying American schools with milk everyday? ]]> 2021-12-08 20:44:35 UTC https://padlet.com/bekaadie/z8ophjosrt3v84re/wish/1936790534 bekaadie https://padlet.com/bekaadie/z8ophjosrt3v84re/wish/1936820893 Book censorship. What a great way to prevent people from learning the truth. This ties into issues of race and gender. It is interesting that an indigenous history of the US is considered "obscene". ]]> 2021-12-08 21:07:02 UTC https://padlet.com/bekaadie/z8ophjosrt3v84re/wish/1936820893 bekaadie https://padlet.com/bekaadie/z8ophjosrt3v84re/wish/1936852404 This is a not a school policy I can conform to. If I am required to teach an "opposing" perspective on a fact like the holocaust, then I will be looking for a new job. ]]> 2021-12-08 21:31:15 UTC https://padlet.com/bekaadie/z8ophjosrt3v84re/wish/1936852404 bekaadie https://padlet.com/bekaadie/z8ophjosrt3v84re/wish/1936935284 Now this I just don't understand! We teach sex education in school but ban a book that also teaches sex education??? Books like this make it easier to have these discussions at home and not everybody can afford the $30 to buy it or has access to it at the public library. ]]> 2021-12-08 22:46:29 UTC https://padlet.com/bekaadie/z8ophjosrt3v84re/wish/1936935284
