What are you smoking? What darkest Ontario timeline do you live in?

I live in Ontario, was educated here, have kids in the system, hobnob with zillions of parents, interact with my kid's teachers and know a couple socially.

Teachers are not materially hated or loved any more than any other type of worker that the public interacts with frequently. They are just people, like the rest of us.

I file comments like yours under “haters gonna hate” and “cheerleading for the race to the bottom.”

I feel like I would be a horrible person for mentioning what is probably the obvious.

I file comments like yours unders "Jesus, that white privilege must taste so fucking wonderful".

That's why you can probably find an amazingly large amount of people not in your acceptable pigmentation that don't agree with you one bit.

I think the Brampton school board just had a lawsuit that sums that shit up nicely.

I feel like you have changed the topic, or maybe this was your topic all along and I didn't pick up on the coding. So no, it is not obvious.

As topics, “teachers” is orthogonal to “structural racism”, and I suspect that blending them together will lead to less effective responses to real but separate problems in both areas. I was very much only speaking only to “teachers”.

I'm aware of Brampton and more besides, and I won't insult you by excusing, explaining or “interpreting” racist behaviour or structural racism. You and your family deserve (and are owed), an “average” Ontario school experience largely untainted by them.

"All my experiences are fantastic and everyone ever has been fantastic to me. Gosh golly, I can't even comprehend how the other 99.9999990% of the population doesn't share my opinion"

I have an opinion, you have an opinion. You don't like my opinion, you can go fuck yourself with your fucking opinion that you and your mental illness share. Get the fuck outta here with that bullshit.

Looks like you think I'm saying the opposite of what I'm trying to say. I have no idea how that happened, or how to fix it.
