The logical implications of this theory are well worth pondering. What is the secret of the amazing subordination of the armies of the West? Mosca finds the answer in the aristocratic character, so to say, of the army, first in the fact that there is a wide and absolute social distinction between private and officer, and second that the corps of officers, which comes from the ruling class, reflects the balance of multiple and varied social forces which are recognized by and within that class. “From the introduction by Arthur Livingston So it's like you either evolve or dissolve.” And while our district might not be completely on there, OEA is working on it, NEA is working on it, and so it's just a matter of time.
And so as we fire the teachers who sexually abuse our children we will be firing the teachers who do racists things to our children to traumatize them. So if you're being resistant, I understand that, but your going to have to eventually come to the light, because if your going to keep up those old views of colonialism it's going to lead to being fired because you are going to be doing damage to our children, trauma.

you know, obviously you can't change your melanin, but you can change your mind so that you can actually function in a district that is full of BIPOC children. Our district is only getting browner and browner with our children and so if. If you're not evolving into an anti-racist educator, you're making yourself obsolete in this field or profession. I'm going to say something that's not nice, and not sweet, but it's true. “Katherine Watkins, teacher at Cedar Park Middle School, Beaverton School District, Oregon: Rather than regarding Jones, Waters, Jacobs, and the Crafts as recoverable trans figures in the archive, this chapter examines how the ungendering of blackness became a site of fugitive maneuvers wherein the dichotomized and collapsed designations of male-man-masculine and female-woman-feminine remained open-that is fungible-and the black’s figurative capacity to change form as a commoditized being engendered flow.” Brent/Jacobs referred to this vexed affective geography as “some- thing akin to freedom” that, perhaps paradoxically, required a “deliberate calculation” of one’s fungible status. By describing their acts as performances for rather than of freedom, I am suggesting that the figures under review here illustrate how the inhabitation of the un-gender-specific and fungible also mapped the affective grounds for imagining other qualities of life and being for those marked by and for captivity. No less performative but lacking a clear biologized semiotic referent, fungibility in this chapter expresses how ungendered blackness provided the grounds for (trans) performances for freedom. This narratological strategy shaped how passing would be deployed as an interpretive frame for all manners of trans-identificatory practices-both contemporaneously and reiteratively into the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. “assing expresses a form of agency as well as a promise of restoration, which is to say that passing-as a limited durational performance-signals a “return” to a natural-cum-biological mode of being.
In the cases of Ignatiev and Du Bois, they were actual Communist Party members.” Du Bois-who first coined the term “whiteness” to begin with-were Marxist. All the giants in whiteness studies, from Noel Ignatiev, to David Roediger, to their ideological lodestar, W.E.B. If this all sounds very Marxist, it should.

Anyone who raises even the slightest objection is often deemed irredeemably racist.īut what if the impetus behind a particular type of race-based training programs and curricula we see spreading at the moment is not exclusively, or even primarily, about skin color? What if race is just a façade for a particular strain of thought? What if what stands behind all this is the old, color-blind utopian dream of uniting the “workers of the world,” and eradicating capitalism? Employees, students, and parents are being inundated with “anti-racism” training programs and school curricula that insist America was built on white supremacy. The purpose of the CRT training programs, and the curricula, is now to create enough bad associations with the white race. Capitalism, all the leading CRT proponents believe, is therefore “racist.”Ģ.ĜRT intellectuals are trying to change the view that racism is an individual issue, and insist it is systemic, in order to get society to change the entire system.ģ. 1.ĜRT theorists see capitalism’s disparities as a function of race, not class.
