跟学校的战斗

(2023-01-08 10:47:24) 下一个

下个星期一二三会议排满,看起来不太会有时间,所以今天就提前发一篇,到下星期下半周再看情形。

今天首先应网友的要求,把我上次写的回应学校老师种族问题的email 主旨写在这里。我顺便把其中的目的也写在这里方便大家理思路。关键点是这种白纸黑字的东西是可以将来成为证据的,所以一定要能站得住脚,而且不能让对方抓到把柄。如果平时实名在社交媒体上发表过什么让别人容易扣帽子的言论(不管什么语种,现在翻译软件多得是),那么就先审查一下自己以前的言论。我从来不在社交媒体发任何自己生活方面的东西,其实是基本上不发言的,所以这方面别人摸不到任何东西。

闲话少说,以下是我的Email。

******,

Once again thanks for bringing up the incident that our child has been engaged today.  Our family originated from China, stayed in another country for years, and moved from state to state in the past $$ years.  We have a lot of friends with different backgrounds, colors, and other characteristics.  We have zero tolerance to racial behavior under the roof.  

(这一段是标准格式,表明自家没有种族歧视的根基。也是为下面的展开做铺垫。一定要首先表明这一点。)

 

We had a long conversation with our child regarding the incident to get some clarification of the facts as well as how to express himself in a way that will not be misunderstood by others.  As an outcome of the conversation, we have taken actions ***** to avoid future misunderstandings.  (这个action就不公开了,属于私人问题)

  

With that being said, there are a few points we would like to communicate with you.

 

  1. Regarding the fact.  We specially checked with our child what "Stealing" means, which judging by the email, is the most offensive word.  Our child clarified that he meant "stealing the ball".  And, he clarified the content when talking to you.  However, such clarification was not reflected in the original email.  This is a very important fact that changes the picture completely.
  2. 首先澄清事实,其实也就是说,要么这个老师看不懂英文,要么故意曲解我娃的意思。其实老师写的Email已经很清楚,她就是故意曲解往种族上扣。那么对不起,我不接受她这个曲解)。

 

  1. By clarifying the content, we believe the incident was that our child was talking to another student while holding the door, and the conversation were heard by two other students (who were not in the conversation) partially, and those two students reported it believing it was racial expression.  However, the truth was that our child was admiring African Americans are good at sports and skills.  This was a misheard conversation.   
  2. 先把结论下了,不服的话可以接着讨论。到了这一步如果这个老师想搞事情,那就不是两方面的事情了。我们可以到校长室讨论,也可以拿到学区讨论。不过一般来说这种想讨便宜的老师是不愿意这么麻烦的)。

 

  1. Please do not use strong word such as racist to label a child at age XX so easily.  First of all, our investigation stated above did not find our child is Racist.  Second, when bringing up this strong accusation from the email, our child cried.  To him, it is difficult to understand that being nice to people around him (holding doors for others) and admiring others is racist.  Anyway, labeling a student to be racist, is that a way to say that the school education is a failure?
  2. 先确定结论,然后卖惨,然后问学生是种族主义,那么岂不是学校教育失败?我前面说过了,我们家不是这么教的。这样说就是暗示,如果到校长室,我可以问同样的问题,要么你定性为表达不妥,要么学校把我的娃教坏了。所以提前表态是必须的。如此,这个老师的做法,是扣帽子。下面接着说扣帽子的危害。)

 

  1. It is not a long-ago history that happened in China, when everyone can easily label others with something.  Some people got labeled in the morning and then executed before night.  This labeling prevailed in communist China from 1950s to 1970s and led to massive death of normal people.  Labeling is a very convenient way to bypass the judiciary system for a small group elite to gain benefits.  It is a deep pain for every Chinese lived in that period and for our generation as we were born in that period and suffered from starvation in our early years.  Moreover, the grandma of our child’s father was labeled as landlord (by mistake), which seems to be nothing today.  However, that labeling led to her death.  Nowadays, labeling is prevailing in US, may be in a different form, but in a very similar way progressing in China.  History repeats itself, and we should learn.

(这段把共产党扣帽子的危害写一下,当然还有我奶奶辈的惨事,这个例子看个人发挥,不要写什么政治要人,越是普通老百姓越是身边的故事越有力。同时这个也是批判现在的美国扣帽子成风,希望这个老师不要跟风。我不指望这个老师有什么觉悟,但是这个信是附给年纪校长的,所以这段是写给那个校长看的)。

Once again, we appreciate you bringing up the issue.  If further communication regarding this issue is necessary, we can schedule a conference to facilitate the discussion.

(话要客气,语气要重。不然我们扩大范围理论一下?)

 

好吧这个回应就写这么多。

顺手谈一下政治吧。众院在第15轮选出了议长。这个事情我看到有些博主在这个选举过程中不停地嗨,各种赞,各种认为麦肯锡完戏的文章就觉得实在有些入戏太深了。这个事情明摆着的,两个月前中选结果出来我就评论过,麦康奈尔和麦肯锡一定会上位。理清楚主线就明白了:参院没什么新人上台,所以参院不可能有变化;众院里面也没有谁能够整合共和党,所以一定是麦肯锡。在人选确定的情况下,怎么能够用RINO来达成目标就是考量,而这个Trump其实很拿手。你看他头四年任期,内阁成员有一个好人没有?但是完成的成就就是跟前面的总统不一样。那么这次也是这样,参院变不了,就先拿住众院。所以那20个唱反调的议员,都说不好是红白脸的角色而已。Trump不过是借着这个事情来达到众院立规矩的目的,避免破老太时期的一人独大情景。这个立规矩也不是为了现在,而是为了24年以后。当然中间意外得牵出Flynn和Lakes掺和的事情。盖茨提名Trump为议长的事情,我上期评过了,不过当天立刻传出Flynn建议Trump接任议长,Lakes也同时表态。这就有意思了,这俩是又一次暴露了么?Flynn什么时候能那么随意跟Trump通话?Lakes 什么时候能随意跟Trump保持联系?Trump是怎么表态的呢?很明显的事情,Trump这三天发了多个Truth挺麦肯锡,而这俩支持Trump当议长,明显的不明白Trump的策略,自己把自己卖了。现在这个阶段,就是要用坏人去干脏活,还看不明白吗?

顺便说一句,我看现在的麦肯锡,似乎不是本人,比本人瘦了不少。

看明白了Trump目前的策略,那么我们对佛罗里达的情形也就好理解了。同样的路数,当然干活的是DeSantis。这次干的事情是学校。DeSantis 任命Chris Rufo为New College of Florida 的校董,要把这个学校变会古典学校。具体来说,就是放弃原来的Diversity,Equality, and Inclusion, 变成Equality,Merit,and Colorblindless。看到了吗?没那么些多元化包容什么的乌七八糟的东西,人人平等,以Merit为准,无种族差别。我之前提过两次,文化是最高统治。我们知道这次美国文化大革命,大学是指挥棒,学校是DS的阵地,影响的是至少三代人。好吧,希望这次对DS文化阵地的冲锋,是全国的一个号角。这个将是一个长期的斗争领域,第一枪被打响了。我一直在想,为啥现在的名校如何成为Monster?到了现在这个地步,这些Monster似乎占据绝对主导地位。学术也好,风气也好,思潮也好,似乎已经完全排他了,其它任何不同意见都可以被轻易扼杀。这个文化领域的斗争,不知道爱国者阵营有没有真正推演过,有方案么?

biglow 回复 悄悄话 回复 'tian_ya' 的评论 : 我已经表达清楚了,这个老师随意label本校学生。这个算是先给她挂个号。下次就没那么简单了。
tian_ya 回复 悄悄话 谢更新。
tian_ya 回复 悄悄话 stealing 就是球赛解说的术语。这老师就是故意在搅混水。无事生非就象博主所说的文革中的红卫兵造反派。记得以前,文革后不就,听家父朋友说起,他家有亲戚从美国回国探亲,那时她在美国一大学任教,父负责实验室。里面的黑人技术员,偷懒不干或少干,她找那人谈话,语言之间,那人指责她有种族歧视。她立马回怼说,你是少数族裔,我也是少数族裔,而且是更少数的族裔,那来的种族歧视? 怼得那人无话可说。
playnice 回复 悄悄话 谢谢大楼。类比中共是画龙点睛。
minnie808 回复 悄悄话 Thanks .
