I dont think the teacher is “justified”. I’m just not sure the teacher should be vilified.

Yes. It is.
Because I didn’t say that the teacher did a good thing in this situation. What they did was clearly wrong. They shouldn’t have used ANY student’s picture at all and they definitely shouldn’t have used a black student’s picture.

The point?
In a zoology class, a teacher told students that humans are primates and therefore animals. I would expect that to be the case, since that is true.

Im constantly surprised by how many people don’t know what an “animal” is. Bugs are animals, humans are animals, earthworms are animals, oysters are animals, etc.…

I dont know that I would be sharpening my pitchfork over this situation. This could have been a tone-deaf mistake.

“I know I’m a human, you’re not about to sit here and say I’m other than that.”

I really appreciate all of the attention that the Tulsa massacre is getting, but I think we need to pay attention to all of the massacres. Tulsa was just the LAST major one.

2 things:

I strongly disagree. We are going to continue to see new religions. The problem is that most new religions spend the first few centuries in relative obscurity until the hit critical mass. Many of them go extinct during this time period

Hitler was an animal rights activist who banned vivisection of animals.

Or buy them from someone who has live shrimp?

The failure to hold them truly accountable is what spawned Jim Crow and 150+ years of lynchings, sundown towns and subtle, barely hidden bigotry to this very day.

Whataburger spicy ketchup > Chick-fil-A sauce.

I feel like Mixed-ish was never going to be as popular because it was a “nostalgia” show. I have to be honest, I didn’t watch it because I didn’t really want to watch another “that’s why I love the 80s”-type show.

And I’ve yet to see any show that engages in “time travel” that doesn’t quickly engage in “remember this!”…

didnt they also allude to the idea that someone would rape/murder our wives?

I dont know the goal of the assignment, but I can imagine quite a few scenarios where the assignment(not the examples) was acceptable. Arguing both sides of an issue can help kids with critical thinking skills. Having a class debate an idea like: “Should we ban homework?” is fun and useful.
