NY Times ^ | June 16, 2020 | Taylor Lorenz and Katherine Rosman

Over the past few weeks, as the Black Lives Matter movement has grown following outrage over the killing of George Floyd, high school students have leveraged every social media platform to call out their peers for racist behavior.

Rod Dreher at American Conservative has some extracts:

Many students believe the only consequence their peers will take seriously is having their college admissions letter rescinded. “I’m not trying to target freshmen or middle schoolers, but people who are about to go to college need to be held accountable for what they say,” said Anamika Arya, the 16-year-old administrator of @Smithtown_Racist_Callouts, which is focused on Smithtown, N.Y. “People who go to college end up becoming racist lawyers and doctors. I don’t want people like that to keep getting jobs,” Mx. Arya added. “People think when you call out a racist student, it’s ruining their life,” said Mariwa Gambo, 15, a junior at a New York City public school. “But when you prevent them from advancing, you’re helping to stop the spread of racist lawyers or doctors or people who make it harder for the black community.” https://www.theamericanconservative.com/dreher/yankee-doodle-yugoslavia-robin-diangelo-white-fragility-racism/

I got into it on FB some weeks back when a sanctimonious message came out from our local pub(l)ic schools.

It was basically about all this, including “racially charged” comments on “social media”.

I posted directly to their message on FB as it being outrageous that they would HAVE ARRESTED people snitched on social media OUTSIDE SCHOOL BOUNDS and then PRESS CHARGES for “hate crimes”!

This is far outside acceptable.

But no, I myself am just branded racist and get lots of self-righteous “I can’t believe we have such people here” (hint: *I* am native)” and angry faces and shocked faces.

My local high school has now been targeted . A black girl set up a website asking for students to name a racist teacher. They have gone after some of the teachers who I know for a fact as I know them are not racist, but more conservative.
Many have targeted one Spanish teacher who is tough .
This is dangerous as we now have kids basically bullying and asking for certain teachers they do not like to be fired or labeled a racist.

see post 9 and yes I agree with you . We are always called a racist if you speak up with common sense. These kids know nothing but their own view and how to label someone they do not like

I’d Sue them and parents for slander. Not generally a public figure in high school so need exceed malice threshold. These are the SJW schools are putting out. “Racist doctors and lawyers” eh? My ass. This is a rerun of the
Kamer rouge and needs be stopped or wiped out.

After reading the piece by Dreher, I thought of the movie Das Leben die Anderen - The Lives of Others. We are living under the watchful eye of the Stasi.

The next step is putting the undesirable into cattle cars and making them disappear.
