The policy states that \u201cany member of South Kingstown is encouraged to report incidents or allegations of incidents\u201d that break anti-racism policy guidelines. \u2026<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThe school district administers \u2018No Contact Orders,\u2019 prohibiting any verbal and physical contact between the alleged offender and victim, once a report is filed, the policy states. The policy aims to create a district that is \u2018actively anti-racist and anti-discriminatory.\u2019<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201c\u2018The South Kingstown School District Anti-Racism policy creates a paranoid, stasi-style online reporting system for any member of the Town of South Kingstown to report not only incidents of racism, but also cyber racism and interpersonal racism as defined by the district,\u2019 Nicole Solas, South Kingstown resident and Independent Women\u2019s Forum senior fellow, told the Daily Caller News Foundation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cViolations of the policy include racism, defined as \u2018systemic oppression of a racial group,\u2019 and cyber racism, which is racism on websites and blogs, as well as text messages, emails, images and videos, the policy stated. Interpersonal racism, defined as pre-judgment or bias in \u2018privately held beliefs, conscious and unconscious and external behaviors and actions towards others,\u2019 and institutional racism, which is \u201cinequitable outcomes for students who identify as Black, Indigenous, and People of Color in institutions,\u201d are both included in the policy.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5371\" src=\"https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/eag_line.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"37\" srcset=\"https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/eag_line.gif 500w, https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/eag_line-300x22.gif 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><!--more-->&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/mynorthwest.com\/3183712\/rantz-seattle-elementary-school-cancels-halloween-equity-concerns\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Halloween is racist now<\/a> and must be canceled in the name of \u201cequity\u201d.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cA Seattle elementary school canceled Halloween activities over concerns about student equity and inclusion. Specifically, Seattle Public Schools says Black males do not celebrate and, more generally, students of color feel marginalized by the holiday. One parent, however, thinks this is an \u2018exercise in affluent white vanity that is wokeism.\u2019<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cBenjamin Franklin Day Elementary (B.F. Day) in Seattle\u2019s Fremont neighborhood typically hosts Halloween festivities each year. They include a \u2018Pumpkin Parade\u2019 where students wear costumes if they choose. But the school administration changed its focus to \u2018foundational beliefs around equity for our students and families,\u2019 and, consequently, they\u2019re canceling Halloween.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThis year the only thing spooky and creepy is the school\u2019s commitment to wokeness. What could be more equitable than having strangers give you free candy? Not to the school\u2019s Racial Equity Team that decided with staff to gut Halloween.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5371\" src=\"https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/eag_line.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"37\" srcset=\"https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/eag_line.gif 500w, https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/eag_line-300x22.gif 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Apparently the evil White supremacist System of Oppression\u2122 is oppressing Black people with\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailysignal.com\/2022\/06\/02\/california-reparations-report-demands-tree-planting-in-black-neighborhoods-for-shade-equity\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a lack of trees<\/a>.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cA report on alleged systemic racism released Wednesday and greenlit by California Gov. Gavin Newsom is calling for the planting of trees statewide \u2018to create shade equity\u2019 and reduce \u2018heat islands in black neighborhoods.\u2019<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThe 500-page report was released after Newsom, a Democrat, signed legislation in 2020 forming a nine-member task force to \u2018inform Californians about slavery and explore ways the state might provide reparations.\u2019 It describes tree demolishing in black neighborhoods for highway construction and says climate change makes these areas hotter.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201c\u2018Nationally, formerly redlined areas consistently show hotter temperatures than other areas,\u2019 the report states. \u2018Therefore, climate change is certain to exacerbate existing, historically-codified disparities that track existing housing-related harms experienced by African Americans.\u2019<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThe report is billed as the first of its kind by a state government to examine slavery and \u2018the compounding harms that the United States and Californian governments have inflicted upon African Americans,\u2019 according to a press release. The California Reparations Task Force issued the document to the state Legislature, and a final report will then be issued prior to July 2023.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;TTFN.<\/p>\n<p><meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary\" \/><meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@PoliticHatBlog\" \/><meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@ThePoliticalHat\" \/><meta name=\"twitter:title\" content=\"Wokeness Everywhere: Everyone Is An Informant For Anti-Racism; Halloween Cancellation; Shade Equity\"\/><meta name=\"twitter:description\" content=\"The focus this time: It ain\u2019t just limited to academia.\" \/><meta name=\"twitter:image\" content=\"https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/EaglewithFlag.gif\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Another &#8220;quick takes&#8221; on items where there is too little to say to make a complete article, but is still important enough to comment on. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The focus this time: It ain\u2019t just limited to academia. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;First, a little mood music: &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/2022\/09\/29\/quick-takes-wokeness-everywhere-everyone-is-an-informant-for-anti-racism-halloween-cancellation-shade-equity\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[23,17],"tags":[15,24,42,69,48,68],"class_list":["post-19602","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-education","category-progressives","tag-democrats","tag-leviathan","tag-mood-music","tag-quick-takes","tag-social-justice","tag-wtf"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19602","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19602"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19602\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":19603,"href":"https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19602\/revisions\/19603"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19602"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19602"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19602"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
