"What's the worst that can happen?"

2017-10-23 03:37:18 UTC  

Doxxed, protestors at work, ostracized, car vandalized...

2017-10-23 03:38:06 UTC  

That'd only occur if a literal 5 year old told his antifa mom that his teacher was in IE

2017-10-23 03:38:11 UTC  

Nope.

2017-10-23 03:38:12 UTC  

Even if your entire administration were 100% alt-right, if the parents ever found out, they wouldn't have any choice but to fire you.

2017-10-23 03:38:17 UTC  

That.chain of events doesn't seem plausible

2017-10-23 03:38:22 UTC  

To you.

2017-10-23 03:38:28 UTC  

Because you are being reckless.

2017-10-23 03:38:38 UTC  

And thinking it's a whitepill.

2017-10-23 03:38:43 UTC  

Which is extremely damaging.

2017-10-23 03:39:05 UTC  

a fellow teacher could out you.

2017-10-23 03:39:11 UTC  

but if you're in the union....

2017-10-23 03:39:22 UTC  

I am indeed in the.NJEA

2017-10-23 03:39:23 UTC  

prob don't have tenure yet though

2017-10-23 03:39:38 UTC  

Or a parent, or another admin, or a teacher, or a kids older sybling...

2017-10-23 03:39:42 UTC  

But no tenure

2017-10-23 03:40:06 UTC  

Its a pin

2017-10-23 03:40:23 UTC  

Or simply, as it typically occurs, you get doxed from something else which nearly happened to you, and they find where you work.

2017-10-23 03:40:27 UTC  

Not a giant billboard or.me yelling blood and soil

2017-10-23 03:40:40 UTC  

You've literally had photos of you on CCTV published.

2017-10-23 03:41:23 UTC  

Yeah so it's nice to see a school that accepted me even after the fact

2017-10-23 03:41:26 UTC  

Which so have I tbh, but that doesn't mean I bring my politics anywhere near the workplace.

2017-10-23 03:41:35 UTC  

That's extremely suspect that they are.

2017-10-23 03:41:40 UTC  

A pin is not politics I don't talk about alt right stuff

2017-10-23 03:41:46 UTC  

Yes it is!

2017-10-23 03:41:48 UTC  

I just wear it

2017-10-23 03:41:51 UTC  

Good god.

2017-10-23 03:41:53 UTC  

I give up.

2017-10-23 03:42:09 UTC  

Is a swazi pin just a pin?

2017-10-23 03:42:21 UTC  

I'm not saying our pin is that just to be clear.

2017-10-23 03:42:26 UTC  

But obviously emblems matter.

2017-10-23 03:42:36 UTC  

And someone knows it's more than just a pin.

2017-10-23 03:42:38 UTC  

Exactly I wear it to normalize it

2017-10-23 03:42:39 UTC  

As you admitted.

2017-10-23 03:42:49 UTC  

Okay so you admit it's more than a pin.

2017-10-23 03:43:18 UTC  

But I see it as a positive

2017-10-23 03:43:22 UTC  

You're argumentation is frankly very avoidant. It's like trying to hold jello.

2017-10-23 03:43:41 UTC  

I think we can agree that while it was a nice thought, in reality it is a pointless risk. It's good to not be ashamed of what you stand for, but at the same time you must think about the consequences that can occur each time you make it known that you are in an organization that in the mainstream is thought to be akin to white supremacy.

2017-10-23 03:43:43 UTC  

So clearly it's not worth continuing.

2017-10-23 03:44:15 UTC  

Ya'll let's take the convo to general.
