San Francisco Teachers Union Offers Anti-Trump Lesson Plan [W:124]

Right; my mistake.

So you keep going on about "what if Bannon said we need more diversity?".

I'VE shown you that he's a racist. If Bannon has said that we need more diversity, as you are apparently claiming, then show me where he said that.

In your mind he's obviously said something like that or you wouldn't be bringing it up.

So show me where he said that.

I presented you with a hypothetical. If Bannon had said we needed more diversity, would he still be a racist? A simple yes or no will do.

Nooooo; you have something up your sleeve.

Bannon is a racist, and I've proved it to you.

As I suspected you are into labels and double standards. Being unable to answer a simple question shows you aren't interested in truth, you're interested in a partisan narrative. You have yet to prove anything because you are unable to examine bias and separate it from the truth, as evidenced by your own inability to answer an examination of your links in your own words.

San Francisco Teachers Union Offers Anti-Trump Lesson Plan - ABC News

The union representing San Francisco's public school teachers has offered a classroom lesson plan that calls President-elect Donald Trump a racist and sexist man who became president "by pandering to a huge racist and sexist base."

The United Educators of San Francisco posted the plan on its website and distributed the plan via an email newsletter to its more than 6,000 members. The school district has more than 57,000 students.

It is unclear how many teachers have used the plan outlined by a Mission High School teacher, said union spokesman Matthew Hardy and school district spokeswoman Gentle Blythe on Wednesday.​

For those interested, here is the plan referenced in the ABC News article above

So, if anyone wants to wonder where the "conditioning" comes from, where the ideas and emotional crisis is being fostered, you can start in our childrens classrooms.

Thoughts?

I know I have many..........

More forced indoctrination from the left I see...
 
I told you that this "schoolteacher" Fakhra Shah had removed from her Facebook page a reference to the award night held for her by CAIR (Council on American-Islamic Relations) in San Francisco Bay Area. I've been googling around and found some other sites mentioning her:

CAIR Dinner

Other CAIR awards were awards to Moina Shaiq (Enhancing Understanding Award) for her work founding the Meet a Muslim neighborhood conversations initiative, Jehan Hakim and Fakhra Shah (Game Changer of the Year Award) for their help in increased participation of Muslims in the Muslim Day at the Capitol and Ilyas Kizilogu (Volunteer of the Year Award) for his exceptional volunteer work at the office of CAIR-SFBA.
Click to expand...

She should get Headgamer of the Year Award - why'd she deliberately remove the reference to CAIR from her own Facebook page, after it started getting more traffic in the wake of this "Trump lesson plan" controversy? That was like the one thing she removed. Looks like she's trying to hide her ties to that organization.

BS. Such a claim simply exposes the intellectual vacancy of liberal/socialist progressives who teach hate and bigotry, and demand allegiance under threat of personal and/or professional destruction.

If adults want to cling to this propaganda, that's their choice.

It is vile and outrageous to force our children to be brainwashed by such a contemptible effort.

Says everything that people need to know about those who endorse and create this type of BS.

Well, to follow your analogy, not just help the homeless, but put them in homes they control, with work they provide. What better way to take control.

Consider California. I haven't confirmed, but I don't think any other state went as widely for Hillary as California did. 62% of the voters went for her. I believe that is a real outlier compared to other states.

Why did so many go for Hillary? Look at the state. It is ground zero for the liberal/socialist progressive movement. It's education system is failing. If not for Silicon Valley and Hollywood, it would collapse under the Nanny State initiatives and handouts it has adopted.

And what do they get for all that? Total subservience, as evidenced by the vote.

I don't pretend to be an expert on California or much else for that matter. It does seem from this distance to be a state that is filled with people who want to be in with the "In Crowd".

In the late 80's, I worked for a company that provided company cars with AM-only radios. I was driving across the prairie and the only broadcast i could pick up was Rush Limbaugh. I had heard about Limbaugh, but never heard him speak. Turns out he sounded funny and was saying things that sounded well reasoned. This confused me.

My self image was that I was a member of the in crowd and my mental image of Limbaugh was that he was an ultra conservative ideologue who was definitely NOT COOL.

Oh, well. I wonder where all of those celebrities who are leaving the country will move to. The in crowd is shrinking, apparently, due to emigration.

Anyway, the idea that I was a conservative at heart was not even a part of my consideration until it was. If, in California, the folks want to be identified as being cool, then being conservative is not an acceptable self definition.

Last night, another big crowd of protestors marched along the street in front of my home, as they transitioned from a seaside park down the street, and into the heart of the city where I live.

Shouting the same absurd blather, these people, who would probably be defined as Millennials, and Gen X'rs are showing nothing but how effective the propaganda and conditioning has been.

Everyone should get involved with their local schools. They should pay close attention to the lessons their children are being taught. In California, they are doing little more than creating robots who know little about life, but lots about the lies and deceit the left has indoctrinated them with.

Very sad, and very dangerous.
 
California's already politically bankrupt - and they're now on the verge of being financially bankrupt too.

If you think Trump would have won without whipping up racism, xenophobia, and general bigotry while riding his fraudulent anti-establishment wave, then you haven't been paying attention.

Trump's campaign was vile and outrageous.

Actually, considering the total ass kicking Hillary suffered across the country, what was truly exposed was the vile and inexcusable lie, deceit and fraud perpetrated by Hillary, her campaign, and her MSM partners.

If this group of pathetic malcontents ever expect to be in a position of leadership again, they should rethink the tactics of inventing narratives based on out of context quotes and total misrepresentations. The voters saw what was going on, and gave the middle finger to Hillary and her agenda.

It's interesting to see a statement that Trumps campaign was vile and outrageous, when Hillary Clinton herself called 10's of millions of citizens irredeemably deplorable.

How deep in the sewer does one need to dig to get to that level of fetid discourse and feelings.

I hope Hillary's fad to obscurity is as depressing and intolerable as she deserves.

Hillary won the popular vote.

She lost because the idiotic, liberal support base failed to show up on election day so Trump snapped up the electoral votes that actually matter.

Hillary called millions of racists, xenophobes, homophobes, and anti-science bigots out on their vile beliefs. That needed to be done, the POTUS should no longer beat around the bush with bigots in our society, it's the 21st century. America is in threat of regression now with the halls of congress and the White House shining red. I can only hope Trump remembers his liberal past and continues to backpedal.

I don't know. I think the President needs to be a leader of all people.

However, I guess I could get behind your idea the President should call out liberal/socialist progressives for the hateful, bigoted group they have proven themselves to be.

Yet, you voted Trump? Stop pretending, you're not good at it.

Liberals and progressives are the bigots here? Oh god.

Yes, I voted for Trump.

I'm not dependent on lies and distortions fabricated by Hillary, her campaign and the MSM partners who tried to elect her.

Why do you think Trump will be the new President of the United States, because 60,000,000 plus people are racist bigots?

You want to go there and join Hillary with her view of US Citizens?

Hillary is the one who called 10's of millions of voters irredeemable deplorables. She is the one who encouraged the out of context lies and deceit.

Liberal/Socialist Progressives pushed that message of hatred and bigotry in what proved to be failed strategy the people of this country rejected.

I encourage this effort continue, so the people can see what the foundation of liberal/socialist progressivism is made of.

Sure it's a trap; you have something waiting in the wings, and I'm not fallin for it. I think it has something to do with "more diversity in Silicon Valley" because there are, according to Bannon, "too many Asian CEOs" there; which is a racist thing to say...

The guy's a racist. It's been proven, so your question is all wet.

There is a hair's breadth of difference between what he's saying and diversity, its all in the presentation. Your stubborn reluctance to answer the question shows your mind is closed to examine either side of the issue. If the race card is all you have, you forget how to think critically, as it appears you have.

No, your inability to show that Bannon said there should be more diversity shows, two things: you're lying, or more probable you don't know what you're talking about and you're trying to set some sort of silly "gotcha" trap. The fact that you deny the proof that the man's a racist leans to an overall conclusion that your mission is a combination of both.

LOL pathetic, you just played the race card against me when I am just showing the hypocrisy of diversity versus Bannon's views. You are so sure one is racist and just as sure the other isn't when what they are saying in fact isn't that far apart. I don't care what Bannon said, I am asking you to examine it at face value and you are failing to do so.

You haven't shown anything dude. All you keep saying is "what if he said we needed more diversity" and then you've utterly failed to prove that eh said it. So you've failed 150%.

So either show where Bannon made such a statement or cede the argument.

I'm showing there is little difference between what he said and diversity. You are just too ignorant to even examine the issue to see it.
