3. Criminal justice reform
4. No more racist presidents.
1. Why do teachers seem to avoid these schools?
2. Adjustments in training, protocol, cameras, etc have and continue to be modified.
3. This needs to be done for many reasons.
4. No more white male Republican presidents. Got it.
1. Intentionally seek relationships with people who come from different cultures and different backgrounds from you.
2. Pay attention to how they evaluate your culture.
3. Try to think about how you might see things differently if you were them.
I have often found that people argue from many of the same core values.
1. Make it worth their while - nicer schools, more support, better resources, after school programming and more community outreachQuote:

3. Ok, and this should include changing laws that are disproportionately applied to POC.
4. White republicans can be ok - but they need to break the mold and alienate the racist faction of the party.
You want brick and mortar with a shine to it, but you don't mention the idiots who are teaching for retirement or those who can't conjugate a verb. Don't get me started on math. These people are protected and you are okay with the system that allows it.Quote:

Clever idea using the Kaepernick Jersey as a doormat. The combination they are using is a poor choice as a lot of people will be offended by it.Quote:

But that does help illustrate the racial undertones of the opposition to the protest. These are the same folks that heard the racist dog whistle that Trump was sounding.
You must not have read where they clarified their intent. Its right there in the same story and yet you overlook it.Quote:

In the same sense could it be that even though they say it's not disrespectful to America, kneeling for the anthem is in fact disrespectful to America or the military?
That's the language of the bubble my friend. Like the North Koreans, you don't even realize you are inside.Quote:

The kneeling came about because of the suggestion of Boyer. Are you saying he would suggest something that he thought would be disrespectful? Or that Kap was being disrespectful by modifying his protest form at Boyer's suggestion?
Actually kneeling is submissive -
Always has been - always will be
Whether it's before a monarch, a power figure, an owner or God Almighty...
