"What's the worst that can happen?"
Doxxed, protestors at work, ostracized, car vandalized...
That'd only occur if a literal 5 year old told his antifa mom that his teacher was in IE
Nope.
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.
That.chain of events doesn't seem plausible
To you.
Because you are being reckless.
And thinking it's a whitepill.
Which is extremely damaging.
a fellow teacher could out you.
but if you're in the union....
I am indeed in the.NJEA
prob don't have tenure yet though
Or a parent, or another admin, or a teacher, or a kids older sybling...
But no tenure
Its a pin
Or simply, as it typically occurs, you get doxed from something else which nearly happened to you, and they find where you work.
Not a giant billboard or.me yelling blood and soil
You've literally had photos of you on CCTV published.
Which so have I tbh, but that doesn't mean I bring my politics anywhere near the workplace.
That's extremely suspect that they are.
A pin is not politics I don't talk about alt right stuff
Yes it is!
I just wear it
Good god.
I give up.
Is a swazi pin just a pin?
I'm not saying our pin is that just to be clear.
But obviously emblems matter.
And someone knows it's more than just a pin.
Exactly I wear it to normalize it
As you admitted.
Okay so you admit it's more than a pin.
But I see it as a positive
You're argumentation is frankly very avoidant. It's like trying to hold jello.
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.
So clearly it's not worth continuing.
Ya'll let's take the convo to general.
