PASCO, WA

A Pasco union leader’s controversial comments linking “reopen everything” movements with white privilege have set off calls for people to leave the union.

Pasco Association of Educators President Scott Wilson’s two-minute statement at the Jan. 12 school board meeting linked “free to breathe” and “free to reopen everything” rodeos and rallies with a “culture of white supremacy and white privilege.”

The comments from the white middle school teacher have raised the ire of dozens of people upset about the comparison, and led to a letter circulating on Facebook calling for members to opt out of the teachers union.

This is a fairly Red part of Washington state. I first don’t know how this clown got selected as school supt. and next, don’t see him/her/it staying in his/she/dope’s job for long (notice how woke I am with pronouns?? ;-) )

Probably has a PhD from a College of Education. Which given the results of our public education system largely led by such, should disqualify you from the role, but doesn’t.

The clown is the teachers union president, not the superintendent. As to the clown’s comments, is he saying that staying inside with everything locked down is something that non-whites prefer? Or that shutting up and taking orders is something that non-whites are better at?
