I have no idea of how many. Since this does not bother you then it makes no difference. The thread is about the assault on our freedoms, but if it doe not bother anyone, then I am just in error here.
I would not want my child to be educated but filter what he/she is taught because the facts are hard to hear.
I would not want discipline to be meted out dependent on the color of the child's skin. Rules are rules and all you do is teach children to EXPECT priveleges because of their skin color. I mush have misunderstood, as I thought our goal was the opposite. No wonder American children not only don't know much but certainly do not know why.....it appears we are protecting them.uu
YES I KNOW THE EXCEPTIONS...again the point of this thread, to me anyway, is an assault on freedoms. You can be disciplined if you display things that offend others...thought that was what free speech was about. You will not be taught anything that upsets you..that does not sound like my freedom to learn and be availed the facts. You will not be disciplined if black or whatever...guess that depends.
You can like it...I do not.

Yes, it does matter what the number and percentages of American public and private elementary, middle, high school, colleges and universities are teaching - and disciplining in those methods with trigger warnings and micro-aggressions.
It shows if this is a wide spread thing or just a microcosm. Please find and post if you are to be credible.
Have YOU ever had a very traumatic situation personally that seeing it again would make you re-live the pain? Those do happen. Joe Theissman had it happen after LT snapped his leg and he had to watch the slo-mo play on television over and over. Joe re-lived that horrible moment and never got over hearing that bone break. Rape trauma, burn trauma, or even taunting trauma can be debilitating for some people. Re-living it through film, books, or words can be unbearable.
As for different discipline, once again, you would have to show us the schools by location and how many times it happens for you to be credible on this claim.
As for displaying something that offends others and being punished being wrong since there is Freedom of Speech - imagine a high school teacher in downtown Detroit going to work wearing a tee shirt that has emblazoned "I Hate Muslims" on it. That teacher will not have a job any longer - but she was expressing Freedom of Speech, wasn't she. Right or wrong?
