From State Rep. Allen Skillicorn:

This is a rally to voice our need to re-open District 300! It is located at DISTRICT CENTRAL OFFICE (Main office)! For safety, we ask everyone to follow CDC and local health guidelines. This is NOT an event to show any sort of anger or disrespect to d300 staff. Solely to voice our need to have an option to get back into the classroom!
We ask everyone to also stay on public property and do not disrupt any business or traffic. Let’s re-open district 300! Together and united we are stronger!
Why can’t we show disrespect to LGBTQ and Communist brainwashers?
No first amendment at rally?
Phrases such as “institutional racism,” “systemic racism,” “unconscious bias,” and “color-blind racism” are part of this new definition of racism that no longer requires conscious acts or bad people. All whites unwittingly support an evil system rooted in slavery that oppresses “people of color;” they can’t help it. We would therefore have a viciously racist society even if not one white person were “racist” by the old definition. The only moral course for whites is to renounce “white privilege” and to fight “systemic racism” as one of the central purposes of their lives.
Many whites believe this is the greatest moral challenge of our time — but how do we fight racism perpetrated by a “system” and not by people? A recent statement by the National Museum of African American History points the way. It listed undesirable traits of “whiteness” that oppress blacks: linear thinking, rugged individualism, self-reliance, the intact nuclear family, a strong work ethic and delayed gratification, respect for authority, punctuality, planning for the future, English common-law justice, property rights, and good manners.
This list came in for criticism, and the museum, which is part of the Smithsonian system — took it down but did not disavow it. Why should it? It was certainly saying that the entire texture of American life must be renegotiated to suit blacks, but is this any different from what Joe Biden meant — if he meant anything at all — when he promised on the Fourth of July to “rip the roots of systemic racism out of this country”? How else would you do that?
This zeal for ripping out the roots has spread into every corner of life. Realtors have banned the term “master bedroom” because “master” evokes slavery. An American bird known for 169 years as McCown’s Larkspur got a new name because John McCown, who discovered it, later fought for the Confederacy. NASA has promised to find new names for the Eskimo Nebula and the Siamese Twin Galaxy “as part of its commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion.” The 242 KIPP Academies — the country’s biggest network of charter schools — retired their motto, “Work hard. Be nice,” because it “supports the illusion of meritocracy” and “diminishes the significant effort to dismantle systemic racism.” If “Work Hard. Be nice” props up white supremacy, everything does.
Ya gotta love Skilly!
Lost my vote.
Stupidity like this is why covid is still here.
Every other district and university campus that has tried to open has run into problems with increased rates of covid.
So I ask why is it rally even happening?
This makes zero sense.
**No first amendment at rally?**
You really should learn what the first amendment is and what it means.
Alabama snake oil sales’man’, you make me ill imagining you are polluting our area.
“Jack H.” Do you really expect us to believe you and your filthy friends were going to vote for Skillicorn.
Soon, the days of voting in rigged elections will be over and people like you will be rounded up.
Oh yes, those times are acomin’.
And things will be put right again.
When we get back to real classrooms, question ought to be what goes on during each school day?
Do any teachers try to cleverly sneak in their biases in lessons?
Any political, privilege, global warming silliness, “systemic” bs, etc?
On Sept 7, a poster at 9:27 PM said:
“Realtors have banned the term “master bedroom” because “master” evokes slavery.”
OMG. Who knew that “master” is bad because of slavery.
If some folks trying to be correct about slavery, then we need to ban the name “Democrat”.
Democrats in the U.S. Congress in the 1800’s strongly objected to Republican President Abraham Lincoln’s efforts to free the slaves and do away with slavery.
Lincoln persisted and the Democrats grudgingly came along.
Brands for pancakes and ice cream pies have had to change the names of these products to not offend anyone.
When will Americans demand that the Democrat Party change their name which is associated with slavery in the 1800’s?
Knowing the Democrats’ miserable past, including Jim Crow and the Democrat Governor racist Wallace, how can anybody today vote for any Democrat anywhere?
Of course names aside, who in their right, uh, correct mind would vote for Democrat Doofus Dementia Doddering Dope old fool Joe Biden?
Add to that Biden’s many racist comments over the years.
What would be a good name replacement for the Democrat Party?
Could it incorporate any of the words such as communist, socialist, marxist, collectivist, bolshevik, etc?
Next, the NFL will rename “owners” to something else.
wners dates back to the slavery period.
Maybe team “puppets” will be the new moniker?
Stormy D, how about ‘rich jews’ in place of football team owners.
The Democratic Party was born in 1828.
The Republican Party was born in 1854. Both were preceded by Whigs, Federalists and Democratic-Republicans. 😐
Just resign Al. You’ve got all your body parts out the door except for your Pinocchio nose. You don’t represent 98% your constituents, just the fringe whackos. Surrender your post and crawl back under your rock in your new home downstate.
