VA teacher says encouraging behaviors like 'following directions' is White supremacy
Fox News ^ | September 14, 2021 | Emma Colton

Posted on 09/14/2021 1:26:29 PM PDT by lowbridge

A Virginia high school teacher posted a video criticizing the concept of students behaving themselves and sitting quietly in class as part of White supremacy. 

"I stated that PBIS is White supremacy with a hug and a lot of y'all wanted to know more about that," the teacher said in the video that was originally posted to his TikTok account in May. The teacher was referring to Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS), which is framework used by Virginia public schools "to support positive academic and behavioral outcomes for all students."

The teacher appears to be Josh Thompson, an English teacher at Blacksburg High School. 

The Montgomery County School District told Fox News of the video that, "A teacher is entitled to their personal belief regarding any division program. The statements made by this teacher do not reflect our PBIS program or the behavioral expectations that we have of students in our schools."

The school district also noted "MCPS has used PBIS in our schools for eight years. We are proud of our PBIS work. This work helps create a standard for social-emotional learning and behavior expectations in the school building."

So they sanctioned her actions. FAIL!!!

His picture looks like he just ran out of fudge to pack. Is that Velvet Red lipstick he’s wearing? Asking for a friend.

For millennia, hard work, self-discipline, self-control, following reasonable directions, respecting others, paying attention, learning as much as possible from elders and teachers, shutting up and listening, etc., have been the self-evident ingredients of success, across all cultures. This “teacher” identifies everything positive as “white supremacy”. By implication, he identifies the well-known ingredients of failure as “non-white”.

Could he devise anything more ignorant, false, racist, insulting, and destructive?

Are “people of color” furious with this “man”, or at least sad that he would undermine their children with such tripe? What sort of school district would employ someone like this?

Every time a kid did what he was supposed to do, he was given a small award.

At what point is good behavior to be EXPECTED, not rewarded?

That was my objection to the whole program. I explained to the kids that good behavior was expected. I appreciated it, of course, but no, I’m not giving you a sticker for closing the door.

Even as a substitute, when I explained my reasoning, the kids had no trouble with it. The fact that their parents, aunts, uncles and older siblings had had me as a teacher helped since they mostly knew what to expect from me.

This person “teaches” pupils in class...but apparently doesn’t know much about reality as an adult.

No education is better than this kind of “education”

That teacher has obviously never been in the military service or worked jobs in hazardous conditions. Both require a person to follow directions (or else).
