Teacher fired for writing "Pepe the Frog" book

[RyanEX]

Of course kids don't get the hidden message, that is how brainwashing works.


Yes, it's totally okay to teach children not to judge and demonize others.

Unless their white and straight of course. Then the gloves come off.

[Garnier Fructis]

Offensive how? by literally pointing out reality.

OH NO GUYS REALITY IS OFFENSIVE! TIME TO GO BACK TO DREAMLAND!

The alt right meme version of reality is about as far from actual reality as you can get.

[RyanEX]

*they're

And no, there is no war on white or straight people.

Never said there's a war. But considering the way things are on college campuses there is a discrimination. And it's largely accepted discrimination.

"The way things are". Kay. And how is that?

There can't be war on the white, of course. For a war to happen, there would need to be casualties. For casualties to happen, people would need to be impacted. For people to be impacted, people are needed. There are no people involved in that situation. /s

Am I doing it right?

So memes are a conservative thing? Well I'll be damned!

Just because it's a children book doesn't make it okay. If anything it can actually make it worse. An example below.



Also screw these guys for co-opting Pepe. I enjoyed Feelsbadman now if I use it some will think i'm a Nazi.

What is that?

[Garnier Fructis]

Adjectives exist.

[McTroll]

Adjectives exist.

I idea are no have talking you about what.

[Deleted]

The fact it's an offensive caricature?

I know, it looks nothing like the real pepe and is a poor imitation.

[SirBeef]

Well, it isn't exactly a surprise.

Criticizing Islam is a big no no to PC folks.

But you can bash Christianity all day.

It's not that bashing Islam is not OK. it's the whole mentality that they are inferior and should not be allowed into, or be apart of this nation. That is usually promoted by Christian extremists. Who are the ones that get bashed for pushing hatred and bigotry.

Last guy to ask me that wanted references. Okay then.

I'll be blunt. I'm not American..I think I've said it several times. I don't care for Trump, I know he's sexist but I don't believe he's racist. That out of the way I think that when your schools spend more time teaching you how not to hurt other people's feelings, proper use of pronouns and gender identity...they've lost the plot. That's not what you go to college for. You go there to study, not to feel comfortable. The rest of it you do on your own time.

[SirBeef]

That's why it's a fictional story. I doubt kids will understand the play on words, but their parents might and if they are liberals they will get triggered, just like they did.

They won't get the hidden message. But the upfront message is clearly about fearing what is different and forcing them to change instead of accepting them for who they are. That would easily be pick up by kids this book is intended for.

I don't think it's that they think they're inferior as much as much their leaders being vocal about not wanting to integrate and also advocating the use of Sharia Law over your constitution. If they want to call their God Allah and their prophet Mohammed who gives a shit. But when they want to act as though they're still in the Middle East where their religion was unopposed that won't fly.

It's like a Christian going to a Muslim market and demanding bacon or pork products.

A school/college should be a place to create citizens. A part of that is teaching the standard stuff and another part is to help develop the morals desired by the country in question and to teach how to live as a part of society. Schools and families will shape the future citizens for the most part, but families are unreliable, not everyone knows how to best teach a child, while schools follow policies developed by professionals and specialists. If you don't like the policies of your country, that's another thing.

[RyanEX]

Yes, really.
There are also people whining about chocolate chip cookies.
Doesn't mean there's a war on them.

Stop taking offense to every single person, nobody cares about them and they have no power.

And tell me, how are things?
The average far-righter never sees the inside of a school, so I wonder how you imagine it is.

You must've missed the part where I stated I wasn't American. Your far right, far left, middle, twisted whatever else you want to call each other is as difficult to keep up with as the letters they keep adding to LGBT.

Classy insult though. Duh, your kind nevuh see teh inside of teh classwoom.

Well if all that's there is gender studies, pronouns and learning how not to trigger people by clapping then I guess those far right people aren't missing much.

I can accept and agree with that, but there needs to be a balance. Do you spend more time trying to make sure that there's nothing on campus that might give someone seizures like say...a Trump poster? Or do you teach them physics, maths, sciences and useful subjects while letting the afterschool activities and groups build up that morale character?

All I can say is that, over here, the kind of behavior I see in the videos of speakers like Milo and Ben Shapiro would get students a caning at best (we still believe in that) or expelled at worse.

[nazrakin]

That dude doesn't give a shit about a crummy Assistant Principal job. This is too blatant, he wanted it to drum up controversy so that he could get lots of press and live the rest of his days by milking the alt right.

[primalmatter]

I remember when they told me memes couldn't change the world.

[Noradin]

What is that?

One of the most vile children's books in existance.

[Powerogue]

I wanted to give this the benefit of the doubt that it was a total coincidence that he named the frog Pepe, but that description is pretty damning. It was probably better off they were fired.

I still want to read this book though.
