Very similar setup there. I would tell them to "Go Pound Sand", (to be polite) you are doing what the Science needs to be and the Expertise the Students Need to attain, if you go all "Woke" on that, it will mean you will have a Year full of UNDER-ACHIEVING Students that will never get a Job because they were never TAUGHT How to Think for themselves and Be analytical. The State wants to make all students DUMBER.

​@@scottcarr3264The government wants to dumb people down, there by making them easier to control.

There is a court case going forward in Seattle for an employee who did something similar. They had groups based on race for training and he insisted they allow him in the one for black people. They retaliate, tell him he should quit so a black person can have his job, he gets fired eventually, and the judge said it can go forward recently. Could be a future problem for the diversity industrial complex.

He, like me, is not a hero for resisting. We are just doing what makes perfect sense, what feels like our responsibility as grown ups.

Fear is their only weapon. Solzhenitsyn said, if you’re not afraid to die, they can’t hurt you. So you have to get your life right and man up.

Hallelujah & thank you. They DO suffer from fetal asshole syndrome.

You grew out of the woke nonsense a lot sooner than I. 😂

That is no longer what many districts want out of their teaching staff. Job 1 is to tow the party line, job 2 is to teach the subject. We're shaping hearts and minds here people, get with the program or get out of our way - my interpretation of the mindset of a captured education system.

To whomever asked, no they did not fire me. I retired as a distinguished full professor. Also I'm female which is a very marginalized demographic in computing.

Why is it critical thinking to just do whatever you feel like doing instead of putting in the work you were asked to do for your job?

Critical thinking has been replaced with critical race theory. We are so doomed.

@TheRealNickG >"putting in the work you were asked to do for your job" You'd do great in 1930s Germany or USSR "doing the work you were asked to do"

@@TheRealNickG Are you really this stupid or are you just a troll?

I'm a lawyer and an English major. I have no idea what that means.

You misread it exactly how the activists intended you to misread it. It says authentic lived experience. Within the collectivist framework, the lived experience can only be authentic from the perspective of the oppressed class.

@@lizzy-wx4rx I have a PhD in Philosophy and taught logic at a Russell Group university. It seems straightforwardly contradictory to me.

The interdependence between people is what makes the quality of a life. Every orphan is gonna have a worse time than a famlied child. Then take into account the resources of that family. Those may be individual lives but only focusing on them in a void is entirely thoughtless.

Computer nerds (like me) are seldomly flaming racists. What did they want you to do, take DEI training?

You should have stuck around and undermined it as much as possible...push as far to the line as possible while maintaining plausible deniability.

Can you give an example

​@@GnuReligionOnce the government decides a training is good it just gets dropped on everyone, sometimes from the janitor all the way up the head of the agency.

Nope. Think about the pronoun thing--people thought, "Let's be nice" and they at least pretended like they were going to comply. Then you turn around and kids are being mutilated (age 14+) and sterilized (age 10+). Not just that, but especially autistic kids and those with other mental and behavioral vulnerabilities. Houston ISD is moving to eliminate 28 school libraries and turn them into discipline centers. Who goes to discipline centers the most? Use your imagination. This has gone very bad, very quickly with feigned cooperation. It's the same type of thing that happened in Nazi Germany--but they didn't have social media to expose it. We do, and that gives us an even greater responsibility to say NO.

@@5Gburn This was even more prevalent in the communist countries of the Eastern Europe and Soviet Union, which lasted much longer for many decades. People had to comply with constant ideological reeducation and intimidation, basically in all professions requiring any higher education not only teachers. I have never dreamed it could ever come to NA. And it is already here.

You have a point. Resisting marks the enemies of the Marxist perpetrators of this fascistic nonsense. It may be valuable for the resisters to appear to go along, then undermine this sick ideology from the "inside".

@@5Gburn The castration of male genitals in Weimar Republic Germany was one of the many reasons square mustache man was ELECTED into power. Other than that, you are 100% spot on. Children being brainwashed into sterilizing and mutilating their bodies will lead to other Western Countries into electing their own square mustache men.

It won't accomplish anything. The vast majority of the people who don't like it won't be motivated to do any large, unified work to change it. The other group of people will support it because they are true believers.

Yes.

The globalist elites, yes. Sensible people are pushing back at this madness. It remains to see how this will all play out.

Coo coo for cocoa puffs

I don’t understand you people. What is not to like about diversity equity and inclusion, its not a euphemism for anything else, but it does seem that “I’m not a fan of DEI” is a euphemism for I wont defend marginalized peoples.

No, I think chemistry teachers should, and should be able to teach chemistry, not use their class as a platform to roast quacks who want to subvert science for woke politics, that really means you join them in politicizing science.

@@johnteets2921 You’d be doing the opposite of politicizing science, but I get your point.

@@johnteets2921But the OP was saying this is what you should do if they FORCE you to teach this stuff. If they don’t force you then obviously you just teach Chemistry as is. I assume if they force you to do it and you don’t they will fire you. And they will also fire you if you do as the OP suggests. But at least in that scenario the students get to know the truth BEFORE you’re fired, and some might rebel.

@@johnteets2921 The whole world is politicsized at the moment. Look at the governments we have today or is it tyrants even the police force.

Ironically, knowing the *actual* sex and ethnicity of your patients can actually be pretty important for proper dosages. But those sorts of complicating factors would NOT be included in a high-school level course.

@@grantjohnson5785 This is a community college course though, so maybe some of those details would be included, but maybe not.

What you're failing to grasp is that in this new model things such as science, facts, and evidence are considered just one way of knowing things. Further they are the tools of the prejudiced and oppressive system that we live under as they discount the other paths to knowing that come from the lived shared experiences of oppressed and silenced minorities. In their world view for example the knowledge of the shaman in treating a health issue such as say a neurological disorder is just as valid as that of an M.D. trained in western medicine.

@@synchronium24 Magazines are a fan of me.

Your governor had to ban DEI programs since they were already present in Texas. And apparently Austin has its own city colleges with DEI departments. Community college professors in Texas don't seem to be safe from this at all. If you have to ban it the roots are already in and the people who put it there are still employed. You will become California eventually, but so will my state.

@@dalethomasdewitt if it's irrelevant to his class then he doesn't need to worry about complying with anything, and he's the issue by taking this to national tv politicizing his classroom all on his own

Unfortunately, those with differing viewpoints (on nearly everything) are not a protected class. Protected classes mostly involve "immutable characteristics", plus religions (well, most of them).

Besides if someone does poorly you don't treat them the same as someone who's passing.

Or much more probably sadly! 😢

They usually set them up in a way where the opinion of anyone who might dissent is preemptively dismissed due to their membership in a disfavored racial group. It's much easier to achieve harmony when you don't allow the other side to have an opinion.

@@CIARUNSITE You can still troll them and waste their time and resources, or just get kicked out prematurely. You can also go along with things and document them careful then expose them later on. I think Lindsay had a few more. Them "kicking you out" is likely the best thing you can have happening to you.

This probably doesn't affect his classroom, he's just trying to be politically relevant and internet famous, and is also likely being used by this news station for views. It might cost him his job. You can dispute policy with your administrators respectfully but when you go on a right wing media show you are being disrespectful and deliberately making yourself a nuisance and politicizing yourself and perhaps should be targeted for review. Just a thought. I hope you have a backup career basically, because you're being very reckless and stupid. You're giving a middle finger to your employers, which doesn't go over well in the best of circumstances. I hope you know what you're doing.

​@@cypressbutane4575 i take it you haven't been in a science class in more than ten years. I'm not trying to be mean, but there is a huge problem with ideology creeping into objective science. They force it even where it doesn't make sense. And these aren't rightwing teachers who are freaking out about this: they're asking them to rewrite math textbooks to focus on the presumptive racist history of word problems, I've seen it with my own eyeballs. I've had class time taken from basic math principals to 'discuss' the history behind how word problems are written. It doesnt matter. Cultural perspective isn't useful in learning basic math concepts. I don't need to learn about the aramaic approach to numbers. I need you to help me memorize the quadratic formula and when to apply it. I don't need to hear about how it was designed during a time when there were lynchings. i need to make sure i can use the knowledge, let me learn the history and the perspective AFTER i have mastered the concepts.

Not teach chemistry. The people pushing D.I.E. have no interest or inteligence to understand the sciences or engineering, and don't care if they undo centuries of learning because they want us all worrying about who our words offend.

It is all about weeding out those that do not subscribe to their ideology. They cannot have free thinkers in it. The left is intentionally dismantling our country to make way for a globalist dictatorship.
