I actually don't have a problem with this response.

Saying you are going to help teachers and administrators navigate social media responses is helpful, especially given that they called the event a tragedy, and reminding everyone to be thoughtful about social media.

That said, I would like to see a blanket response from them saying that advocating for or celebrating political violence is unacceptable, and encouraging everyone from abstaining from that.
It takes a special kind of brainwashed useful idiot to politically defend government fraud, waste, and abuse.

Next time you go to Starbucks....

1) Use Charlie Kirk as your given name.
2) Watch for the Ph.D making your drink to spit in it.
3) ??????
4) Profit

Lots of people getting fired.

Question is why? US corps are woke, dem and liberal. Why are they rushing to fire people with such kinds of posts? It seems suspicious to me. Is it that they don't want to mess with MAGA and Trump? Likely. Or did they decide to do the right thing? Unlikely.
When the future President is a Dem, these corps will be back with their woke DEI agenda defending people protecting terrorists all over again.

Is this a serious question? Celebrating an assassination on social media is repugnant no matter how liberal the Company is.


It is a serious question.

You assume corporations care about what is repugnant and what isn't. You assume they care about right or wrong.
Reality is they have sniffed out the current political climate and want to align themselves to it. People don't have patience for liberal nonsense so they are quickly getting in line so they don't lose business and funding.

The important point is when the sands shift and things get more liberal, these same companies will be protecting the people like those who are rejoicing these killings.

Keep this in mind before we celebrate but let's enjoy this while it lasts.

Gotta agree that if Harris had won the election we wouldn't see 1/4 of the firings witnessed to date.

Corporate stooges move whichever way the wind blows.

Corporations are by design narrowly focused and amoral. Do you think all these tech CEOs like sitting around the White House kissing our President's ass all day? Of course not but they do it because that is what keeps Washington off their backs.

If value creation were to be found in backing Kim Jong Un, American CEOs would be over their dancing in communist party lines. That is their game.

There's a critical shortage of certified teachers as it is.

Just saying.


Better no teacher than a bad teacher.


After talking to my stepdaughter this weekend about her classes and teachers, they pretty much already have no teacher. I was blown away by how little the teachers actually do in classes these days. She's a sophomore in what is supposed to be a highly rated school district.

She said in PE, they're told to do whatever they want as long as they don't sit down. There's no organized activities. They have two "coaches" in the class and when I asked what they did during class time, she said they sit at their desks.

I asked about English, and she said they'll give them a reading prompt and tell them to "write something" about it. When I asked specifically what type of writing, like a summary, a critique, whatever....she said "they don't care. Just as long as it's xx number of lines."

Her elective is an unmanned aerial flight class. The first 5 minutes of the class they complete some sort of online "skills" test, and the rest of the class they play whatever video games they want.

The only class she likes is Chemistry because it actually challenges her.

It's insane to me that my low-performing, inner city highschool from 30 years ago was light years better than this affluent suburban "exemplary" school she's currently attending.

So yeah....burn the entire public education system to the ground and start over. I'm good with that.

I already emailed her school.


Interesting update. Her account is now private. Before it went private she had a pinned tweet saying something to the effect of "oooooo I'm really scared of people contacting a place that I haven't worked at in months."

Teachers are more or less babysitters at this point.

How ironic. Leftists invent the whole cancel culture game. Now it's being ramped up on steroids and blasted right back at then

because...
  • If you are a government employee - these comments and ideals do not align with the current administration and you will be removed from your position when leadership finds out
  • if you are receiving government grants - these comments and ideals do not align with the current administration and your funding will be terminated when leadership finds out
  • if you are a teacher / professor - your comments put the institutions and funding at risk because they do not align to the current administration and you will likely be fired to prevent losing grants, donor money, accreditation, etc
  • if you are an employee of a business - your comments put your employer at risk of losing business because you are offending/insulting a large block of their customer base.


Great points, thank you!

This always gets lost in the mix, or at least blurred, when the free speech discussions start. You can say what you want but your employer, your church, or your friends/family may choose to part ways with you as a result.

People are finding out the bubble and safe spaces they thought they lived in don't really exist.... especially when someone else's money/time takes a hit because of their comments.

Cancel culture was not invented by progressives and is not a recent thing. It is just the latest incarnation of public shaming by an offended group. The whole Red Scare of the 50s was cancel culture.

The current wielders of that approach are just showing they are as fallible as everyone else throughout history. Cancel culture is like the Ring of Power. Everyone hates it until it is in their hands and then they gladly deploy it for their own uses.

I'm not sure I believe the Starbucks thing. Someone should go in and order something with a long name with a space and see if it prints. My guess is it's some sort of character limit.

Starbucks has made an effort over the last few years to being a bit more apolitical after a lot of the push back from the things they did at the start of the decade.

Sounds like to me you need to be getting directly involved.

This is unacceptable.

The earliest known case of cancel culture happened to Charles Boycott. Hence the word "boycott" in English.
Quote:

Charles Cunningham Boycott (18321897) was an English land agent in Ireland who became the eponym for the term "boycott". In 1880, during a period of hardship for tenant farmers, a powerful campaign of social and economic ostracism was organized against him by the Irish National Land League, causing his name to enter the English language

Maybe HQ has a ban list of names and CK's name is in it. I am sure Donald Trump and Joe Biden's names are on the list too. So when they try to print it, it compares and rejects. Like a no-fly list.

And when the pendulum swings again, don't complain. Fits with your principles.

Me, I happen to believe that what people say about politics and current events on their own is their own private business, esp when they work for a university that supposedly supports and endorses freedom of speech.

Getting fired over your politics - coming sooner and more often. Remember Jordan Peterson?

Is: "This political person deserves to be assassinated" a political position? Is it protected free speech?

What did Kirk say about the attack on Pelosi's husband and what did he say should be done about the attacker?

I'm not aware that he said anything at all.

I was also unaware that the attack on Mr. Pelosi was a political assassination, or a politically motivated attack.

Can we agree that celebrating the political assassination of a pacifist doesn't align with common human decency, regardless of who is in power?

The sheer level of absolute hypocrisy coming from the left, is staggering and appalling...

Person X "does deserve to die" for exercising their 1A right, but Person Y "doesn't deserve to be terminated by their employer" for exercising their 1A right to celebrate the murder of Person X and/or promoting additional violence upon others?

even most Americans are ignoramuses when it comes to the founding of the Republic.

the Constitution and the Bill of Rights guarantee a right to free speech FROM THE GOVERNMENT.

not your private sector employer.

your private sector employer has the right to fire you at any time and for any reason in "at will" contracts.

there are also no personal rights when you agree to join the US military and agree to serve under the Uniform Code of Military Justice.

She'll be fine.......just like everyone else crying about getting laid off. They'll take the L and learn a valuable life lesson then move on.
