To the Antiracist Educators, when we have trolls who do not understand what being an Antiracist means, would you like me to allow them to post even though they are clearly posting here with no positive intent?

I could block them. They can easily go post somewhere else.

What do you think we should do?

I’ll leave this question up for one week.

It’s been a week. I appreciate those of you who shared your thoughts.
We are teachers! We should be able to have reasonable, productive, even spicy 😈😇 discussions.
Just remember, Do Not Feed the Trolls. 🚯
And use that Report feature. ⛔️

If they seem to be genuine and truly don't understand what being anti-racist means, then I think their posts should remain; it's good for us to engage with other viewpoints, especially if they're willing to discuss the matter.
If they're scammers or hit-and-run trolls obviously just trying to get a rise out of people, I think it's best to delete their posts and block 'em if necessary.
I know that's not always an easy distinction to make... being unwilling to defend their points or engage in further discussion is usually a good sign the person is a troll, though.

I agree 💯!

Personally I think people with intentions of curiosity who are honestly trying to grapple with what is before us, should be able to express their opinions and questions. Each one of us should be able to inform ourselves to make an educated understanding. It is a hard call though. When comments are clearly racist and for the purpose of causing disharmony, I understand blocking them. Thanks for inquiring.

I know I am still learning and growing … but, agree with blocking when posts are mean spirited w
ill intent.

When one does not understand the vocabulary/relevantTerms, definitions, concepts, and unable to comprehend, discussions are void - meaningless.

As educators, I hope that one might take note, review the scholarly material and meaningful post herein, and make inquiries as needed. This way we are equipped for the achievement of mutual goals within PublicEd.

If not, what is the meaning and intent?

High order to believe educators (in general…NOT all) research anything. They don’t!

I’m against blocking people. If people have legitimate questions or comments, we respond with legitimate answers and thoughts. If the conversation goes sideways because they’re just here to stir the pot, call them out on it and stop feeding them immediately. Let their comments speak for themselves.

Remember then, do not feed the Trolls when they get ridiculous. And Report when you choose.

Hello fishes,

I have 6 and half YOE in front end development. (angular and hybrid applications). I joined my current organization ( product based) in Feb for 24LPA. The work here is too stressful and there is absolutely zero WLB. So I decided to start looking out again. However I am not getting good interview calls. Are most companies not hiring now ? Or could it because my CTC is too high ?

I’m struggling with an issue with a student right now. I teach in a suburban school outside of NYC that has a very large majority of white students. One of my Black students was recently involved in a biased incident with another student in which he received racist social media messages and racist spoken words from the other student. This was a kid that my Black student thought was his friend. He’s heartbroken, and so am I. I want to know how I can best support my student.
