I actually worked for a time at another at-risk high school in the northern Colorado area as a sub for a few longish term stints, and my mom worked at the school at itself. I heard some problematic discussions occur there but when I addressed them with students they often seemed to lack understanding of what they were…

Exactly, which is why Boulder shouldn’t take this lightly.

White *Christian* privilege. Why aren’t people as shaken up about the anti-Semitism as the racism? Is it because anti-Semitism is REALLY entrenched and nobody, right or left, wants to deal with that? Hm.

One of my father’s choicer “Dad Quotes” is the answer to the first amendment arguement bullshit.

Thought crime isn’t a crime, yet.

As a black man who mainly runs in academic and liberal circles, I’ve encountered plenty of racism. It’s not as bad as when I’m in more conservative rural areas, which is where I grew up, but’s it’s there. The difference is just how it manifests. The racism that I endure from liberals isn’t violent, it’s more just…

1). They went to a private school; the school can handle the situation most anyway they see fit.

Recent studies actually show that 129% of all progressives are actually conservatives.

Really? I highly doubt that.

I grew up in Atlanta and I didn’t know my mom’s family was jewish until fourth grade. She was afraid to tell me because I was a very talkative kid and she’d had multiple neighbors/parents at the school say antisemitic shit to her. That wasn’t a liberal area at all (though there were a lot of Dixiecrat-style…

Source or proof of “lots of liberal white people, once you get them talking...”

GD it Boulder. Money has really corrupted you.

The (wing)nuts don’t fall far from the tree. I wonder where other members of said students’ families stand on the subject matter.

I’d like to go on a rant here about being a female academic but I’m afraid I would have an actual anuerism and die. But let’s just say... it. is. bullshit. and it doesn’t end. You deal with patronising until you are 40, and then you hit 40 and you disappear. Ok. I can can no further. I will honestly explode.

I’m a young looking white women (I’m 36) and a professor. Everyone thinks I’m staff/secretary. I’ve introduced myself to older male colleagues by my first name and had them respond with “Nice to meet you, I’m Dr. Name.” This has happened on multiple occasions. I’ve let my hair go grey. I wear dressier clothes to work.…

It’s the primary reason why I hate looking younger than I am. Everyone tells me I’ll appreciate it when I’m much older, but at work it’s always made me feel like I’m not taken seriously.

It’s worse for women of colour, but I think all women get this, especially when they’re younger. A friend of mine is head of policy for the charity where she works, but people will always try to talk to her male colleagues (to their credit, they direct the questions back to my friend). It’s really frustrating to watch…

“oh no sweetie put ur hand down, we are looking for actual physicians or nurses or some type of medical personnel, we don’t have time to talk to you” I tried to inform her that I was a physician but I was continually cut off by condescending remarks.

I was worrying that Trump might get elected, die of a heart attack or stroke from all the KFC and we end up with Pence.

Literally the worst of all possible worlds.
