Idaho School Teachers Dress as Mexican Stereotypes, Border Wall

Probably, but with a lot of these people it’s hard to tell when they’re being sincere and when they’re just being offensive to get attention/be “edgy.”
 
Racist:

" a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race"

I don’t believe that, and I’m not aware of anyone who does. In practice, the word racist is a meaningless pejorative.
 
Everybody wants everybody else fired for anything these days. Just say an injudicious word, and you can lose your living forever. I’m so relieved that my husband and I are old and retired.
 
I’m pleasantly surprised, although I have to then wonder what your beef is with interracial marriage. I also don’t buy that you genuinely don’t believe anyone holds racist views under that definition.
 
I think that each race is valuable and should be preserved.

I’m sure there’s someone out there, I’ve just never come across such a person, as it is a rather cartoonish position.
 
What about the races and ethnic groups that arose from racial mixing? Racial populations have never been totally static. Why should we suddenly try to freeze the present situation in amber?
 
To me, extremest philosophy is trying to get everybody fired who disagrees with you. That isn’t extreme?

I don’t know how old you are, but up until recently, most of us, our favorite quote was, Though I disagree with what you say, I’ll defend to the death your right to say it. (I sure miss those days.)

Just because somebody doesn’t agree with you right down the leftist line, doesn’t mean you have to make it your life’s mission to destroy their career. Can’t we have civilized discourse? Does everything call for revenge from you?

So if you say something that somebody else takes offense at, they can try to get you fired for it, right? Did you ever hear of sauce for the goose?

Did you mean you’re not aware of any personally like you don’t know any racists in person?

Or that you’re not aware like you don’t know people exist who hate Jews and want to shoot up their Synagogues or people who are KKK or neo-Nazis aren’t racist?
 
What about them? They exist and should preserve themselves.

Nothing lasts forever. That doesn’t mean that the decline of racial and ethnic groups should be willfully facilitated.
 
It’s just my opinion that someone who has such poor judgment as to do something like this shouldn’t be teaching kids.

I’m sorry if you don’t like that or you think it makes me a leftist - but I will defend to the death your right to voice your disagreement with my position.

I’ve never come across anyone, in real life or online, who claims that one race is inherently superior to another, though I’ll grant that such people probably exist in some very small number. I’ve occasionally encountered people who hate other races, but they are also rare.
 
Why should they preserve themselves? How are they anymore worthy of existence as a group than whatever new admixture would arise in their place? If “mongrel” races aren’t worthy of existence, why should the existing ones bother to defend their existence as a distinct unit, since they’re likely the result of some earlier mixing. And if “mongrel” races are worthy of existence, why should we make any effort to stop voluntary genetic mixing?

Wow…

Then maybe you should do some research about hate groups or go on YT and watch documentaries of modern KKK, neo-Nazis, etc. Or go to the primary sources and visit some of the sick racist neo-Nazi websites there are.

I can PM you a link to an online forum filled with dedicated racists - but it’s too vile to link to publicly.
 
They are being disciplined. I just don’t think they have to be ruined for one mistake. Forgiveness and all that good stuff? They were dragged through the media and disciplined at school. Do you really think they’ll ever do this again?

If they are sincerely sorry and realize how stupid it was to do then I would be okay with them retaining their position.
 
Yeah, I would agree this is more worthy of a public scolding than loss of a job. More of a “what were you idiots thinking” than anything else.

Look at it this way. Taxpayer-funded teachers at a taxpayer-funded public elementary school collectively agreed to host an event making a clear political statement and post it on social media.

Fellow and sister Catholics, how would you feel if your children’s teachers were hosting a “team-building” event like this on campus to support Planned Parenthood?
