Yeah yeah, this is cringy crap, but like Don Corleone said, keep your friends close and your enemies closer.
Notice they're now calling it DEIB, for belonging. As if to put a kinder gentler facade on their attempted mind control. The old attract more flies with honey than vinegar routine. Problem is, it's not honey that attracts flies, it's 🐂💩!

Speaking of uh, ya know, does that mean they have tampons in the boys rooms?

Lol.

[vpintheak]

It doesn’t take courage to hate whitey. To hate heterosexuals. To hate Christians. To hate this nation.
All that takes is petulant ignorance combined with Marxism.

Herself:

Any surprises there?

No?

Didn't think so.

[dfwgator]

Prioritizing DEI, like Rush Limbaugh said about Liberalism, is the most gutless choice you can make.

From the link...

“Deaunna Watson (she/her) is the director of diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging at Mercy Montessori School in Cincinnati.”

[mewzilla]

And her LinkedIn page is...interesting.

[NorthMountain]

An’ dat be her Official Portrait ...

[reasonisfaith]

But it’s the precise opposite of what it claims to be.

[mewzilla]

FWIW, I don’t care what she looks like.

I care about what she’s doing to kids.

[NorthMountain]

Indeed. What’s a “Transformative Storyteller”? Is that a fancy word for “pathological liar”?

[NorthMountain]

There’s a certain facial expression common to these creeps. Smarmy arrogant condescension ...

It doesn’t take courage to hate whitey

I've been saying that about the ADO and SPLC for ages. Any schmuck can can call out nazis and White supremacists. But now that open Jew hatred is OK with the left they've been quite conspicuous by their silence. They'd crucify someone who flashes the OK sign because some crybullies pretend to find it offensive yet are oblivious to Jewish students being harassed and assaulted by the HamASS symps and BDSholes

[Gay State Conservative]

Of course none of the white “cisgender” people at that school will give up their positions for black,transgendered,lesbians.

[No name given]

Indeed.

As an educator

There is the first hint self-righteous drivel will follow.

Didn't they used to be teachers or instructors before they anointed themselves as "educators"?

PS I am a retired high school teacher.

Read the article in full.

There is not a word in it about raising students’ academic achievement.

There is not even a mention of the Great White Whale of educrats since at least the 1960’s: reducing the racial gaps in academic achievement.

It is all about building “intercultural competence,” which seems to be an end in itself.

As an abstract proposition, I have nothing against intercultural competence. I practice this every day. I know which parts of town are best avoided. I know what trouble looks like on the street. And being a well meaning classical liberal type, I am tolerant of cultural differences and sympathetic to people who have been dealt a lousy hand in life. Gender and skin color are not good proxies for competence. Etc., etc. But I don’t think that is what this gal has in mind.

When I saw the picture in post 5, I thought the B stood for "Buffet".

The ignorance of liberals is profound.

Diversity? Whites are about 16% of the world's population. Yes, whites are a majority race in the USA, but then, they founded the nation. They also, as a majority, stopped slavery (which continues to be practice in some non-white nations), have sent enormous amounts of aid to non-whites around the world, and have promoted non-whites into every venue of American society - though the response by many non-whites is to denigrate whites, call them privileged, and to call for a wide range of ‘punishments’ for ‘being white’.

America, the majority white nation, is one of the most diverse nations in the world, accepting people of all races, religions, and origins. Such diversity is not common in majority non-white nations. Whites are not safe in many of these nations.

So, what exactly does the left mean when they talk about ‘diversity’. I don't think they have a clue.
