wokeness:

Why would he read the word "nigger" tho. That's just asking for trouble these days.

Ya. I get it. Free speech. But clearly Noone gives a fuck about that

That was my question too. Like, we all went to high school. We all know the word is there. Just like we all know it's in Tom Sawyer.

Was he just reading the book out loud and came to that passage or was he specifically using that part to "make a point"?

Freedom of speech does not mean freedom from repercussions.

teaching an unrelated subject he overheard a student talking about that part of the book

apparently he felt like he had to comment on clown world and was challenged to read it himself.

Welp, sounds like he hopefully learned a lesson. I can't find any sympathy for someone unnecessarily pushing the envelope just to get noticed.

Right the Rupert damnit.

Right.

Clearly people need to learn to assess their targets before they start firing off.

Because it's stupid to self censor when reading literature

going out of your way to make the point as a Spanish teacher in a public high school is a mistake

he shouldn't be losing his job though.

Losing is winning, I respect the integrity to call clown world's bluff

just do your job

everything isnt an opportunity to assert our personal opinion about how things SHOULD be.

This is my take. It's not thst problems don't exist. It's that your friend should recognize which hills are worth dying on.

Losing cashflow if he needs it would not be wise at it reduces your flexibility and fighting power on other hills.

What's wild is the common thread shared between the far right and far left political movements who both love censorship and historical revisionism.

Just to better understand the context: In what setting did he read from it? During a class, in front of his students? (I'm not on X…)

How grotesque can it get? This is just sick. Thank you for sharing.🙏
