Heaven forbid teachers and administrators stick to things they know about (hopefully) such as teaching math and the sciences and not push politics which most parents think less of their opinion than the toilet paper we just used today.

Teachers, no one values your political opinions. Shut it!

So, those on the left believe that people cannot just be nationalists, that black, brown, etc., nationalists are all white nationalists? you make the left sound racist.

This is someone running for a school board position.
They are allowed to have a life outside of serving on the school board. The linked written op Ed is calling them out for their real life activities of being a supporter of planned parenthood as being horrible and unacceptable. The candidate had said nothing. Witch hunt much?

Who is "this is someone"?
The writer of that piece was not the one running for the school board position.

False. The writer of that piece had simply mentioned that the candidate had hidden the fact that she was affiliated with PP....and Nothing more was said about it! There was no calling her out for working with PP as it being horrible and unacceptable, so stop making things up. Seems the only one wanting a witch hunt is you.

Well you say she shouldn’t mention it. Now she should mention it.
Get your opinion straight.
So which is it. Should she say she supports planned parenthood? Not according to the poster I was responding to- only reading, writing and math.
So confusing with hypocrisy.
Should you reveal every charity you’ve given to in the last year? The last 5 years? Or should you stay quiet and only discuss matters of education.
Should you say if you go to church or believe in god?

I'm white.

I believe in America first nationalism.

Does that make me a "white nationalist"?

What if I was black and believed the same thing?

Would I be a black white nationalist?

I was commenting specifically on a post talking about white nationalists, but nice try.

Again, I was commenting specifically on a post that talked about white nationalism. Which is why I answered the same way.
