Schoolteachers dressed up as ‘Mexicans’ and wall for Halloween. It didn’t go well

[PACOX]

So it would be ok if they weren’t white? Or is their whiteness the problem?

That's a rather insecure and fragile interpretation of what I said.

Maybe a few people on this thread, but I'm just a fan of crude and edgy humor in general. One of my favorite (guilty pleasure) comedies is White Chicks.

Nothing wrong with that type of humor on your own time but not at a school in front of kids you are there to help educate. Its betrayal of professionalism as a teacher.

Idaho's teachers also apparently rank 48th in the nation.

Yeah, I'm guessing we're not dealing with the cream of the crop here.

[NYC17]

Just think..the whole country could be like Idaho right now. But thankfully we have diversity and tolerance instead! Truly this baseless outrage is our strength. We need more guaca, someone call yeb bush.

Imagine being such a snowflake that calling something stupid and expecting teachers to be held accountable for doing that stupid thing rises to the level of "outrage".

[D3thray]

wouldnt be another day in good ole america if someone wasnt proclaiming how offended they are about something. Im mexican and want to know how many fucks i give? Of course, im also not a millennial snowflake.

I’m a millennial... I’m just also part of the might-as-well-be-white Asian minority... does that make me oppressed? I’m confused on the message :P

Maybe he doesn’t think it’s stupid enough to rise to the level of needing account?

[NYC17]

Well, that's part of the deal right? "Conservatives" don't place any value in public education so it's a foreign concept to them, holding teachers to a standard above thier own selfishness.

Yeah I can agree to that.

Seems a little weird to dress up like that in an elementary school anyway, do younger kids even follow politics? I didn't start getting political under late in middle school...at least if it was a high school I could understand but yeah...

they wore a costume that bothered you, sounds like a good thing to me.

Well no, he's referring to the response as an "outrage", so he very clearly doesn't think that. If he did, he wouldn't need t oversell it.

[D3thray]

I just don’t see what their whiteness has to do with it. Pointing it out to you as a courtesy

Which is disgusting. This isn't even about race. if a teacher lacks the professionalism to parade around school like this how can you not question their professionalism in not altering grades for students they either favor or dislike?

[draynay]

I guess Halloween is just license for people to be fucking idiots.

[NYC17]

Again, with the oversell. But I get that you need to sell that narrative to yourself in order to justify your behavior.

Keep feeding on that overwhelming "outrage" while you imagine being that snowfla...

Oh.

[Donald Hellscream]

Thats some low quality costumes, fucking amateurs.

Beyond that it really doesn't make them appear all that professional.

[NYC17]

Well, they just don't care.

Unless of course it happens to their child. Then it will be a grand Democrat conspiracy, naturally.

The alt-right mindset in a nutshell: If it pisses off the people I hate, then it's good.

[PACOX]

Yeah I can agree to that.

The whole, "do kids even follow politics" make it worse.

Say there was a little Mexican kid in the school, they just ruined this kids year at the very least.

A bunch of school kids see their teachers mocking the Wall, oh its open season on the Mexican kid regardless of the intentions of the teachers.

How many ways do you they can tell that kid to get behind the Wall? They'll the kid they don't belong in the US (regardless of the kid being a citizen or not), making the kid feel ashamed of something they can't control.

God forbid one of the kids has someone at home who a little too into "MAGA" because that kid is going to come to school packing the worst of the worst comments without even half way understanding what they are saying.

Also kids aren't deaf. I remember in elementary we knew that Bill Clinton got in trouble because of a blowjob even though we didn't even know what that meant. Probably drove out teachers insane.

[GreenGoldSharpie]

Well, they just don't care.

Unless of course it happens to their child. Then it will be a grand Democrat conspiracy, naturally.

Like I said, administration will end up caring. Enough parents are actual advocates for their kids, and challenging teachers is really in vogue now. I wouldn't be surprised if some honors white kid's mom makes a stink given these teachers' lack of professionalism. It opens them up to a ton of bias concerns and gives a helicopter mom an opening to question them constantly.

What a bunch of fucking morons.

A joke is a joke, just because you don't like the joke doesn't invalidate the fact it is one

A joke doesn't stand as a joke just because it's claimed to be one. And if it is one, it can be labelled a stupid one.That's how this works. Stop being so snowflakeish about it and deal with it.

Also, "adhering to their own culture" vs. mocking a culture are different things, but I suspect that may be a little too advanced of a concept for you to contemplate.

Mexicans and their proud heritage of crossing borders illegally. God you're such a bigot if you think that's all Mexicans can do! Look at their world class criminal cartels.
