A request to another DUer to discuss an issue: [View all]

This was a reply to madfloridian that I think deserves separate discussion. Thank you.


22. Can you tell me which minority Plaintiff you think does not "understand" what they've done?

You wrote:

Notice no blame is assigned to the student, no blame to the parent. Only the teacher.

This is very similar to the overturning of teacher due process rights in California recently. The parents and students stand publicly blaming only the teacher.

I find myself wondering to myself, but never out loud of course....were rewards given to these parents for their efforts? And the students who were paraded in public...did they really understand the implications of what they were doing?

Just like the California ruling, the plaintiffs are pictured publicly. Mainly students. Do they really understand?

Madfloridian, I think you go beyond the pale in implying that ANY of the Plaintiffs lack understanding, or were in any way paid to file. That you write "but never out loud, of course" indicates awareness of the insult in what you are suggesting.

You and I and some African American forum posters on this board have previously discussed racial issues related to your posts. You have been invited to participate in the AA forum more than once to discuss these issues. I think it's time that we do. Will you join me in the AA forum to discuss which Plaintiff you think does not understand what they did?

To facilitate this discussion, I'm going to post the names of the Plaintiffs:

John Keoni Wright.
Kaylah and Kyler Wright
Ginet Borrero
Raymond Diaz, Jr.
Tauana Goins
Tanai Goins
Nina Doster
Patience and King McFarlane
Carla Williams
Jada Williams
Mona Pradia
Adia-Jendayi Pradia
Angeles Barragan
Natalie Mendoza

OF COURSE, you must have read the Complaint, and the details of their stories. I would like you to join me in the AA forum and explain which one of these Plaintiffs you think does not understand what they have done. That way, your thread can remain on point, and this separate issue can be addressed.

Thank you.
