Scary stuff going on in our schools.

https://www.yahoo.com/news/massachus...121641755.html

Quote:
Leaders of a Massachusetts public school system are encouraging students and staff to file complaints against one another for telling rude jokes, referring to the “China virus,” and committing microaggressions or other “incidents of bias,” according to newly uncovered documents from the district’s Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.

The documents were released by Parents Defending Education, a nonprofit that fights against indoctrination in American classrooms and activist-driven agendas in schools. The documents include Wellesley Public Schools’ policy on “Responding to Incidents of Bias or Discrimination,” and slides from a staff equity protocols training course.

Courts have found that policies like Wellesley’s can have a chilling effect on speech. A decision last year from the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals said a similar reporting policy at the University of Texas, enforced by the school’s Campus Climate Response Team, “represents the clenched fist in the velvet glove of student speech regulation.”

Well, I'll just say I don't feel alarmed by this at all.

Awesome but I don't think it goes far enough. I mean you know we should totally treat kids like adults and ruin their life maybe even put them in prison. That'll teach them for trying to be silly kids with undeveloped brains and impulsive behavior. They should be able to vote of course, since you know we consider them to be adults.
