Bigot teacher abuses conservative students

A California high school teacher has been suspended after berating her students during a Zoom class for their parents’ complaints about the school’s distance learning plans.

Alissa Piro, who teaches English at San Marcos High School, was caught on video shouting at students and even telling one student that “whites get everything” in response to a question about a white student union.

Jace asks before being shouted down by his teacher, “My question is, in this case, where is the white student union, because we need all races for equality…”

Piro yells, “You don’t need a white student union, Jace! You get everything!”

San Marcos High School teacher Alissa Piro grew irritated with her virtual class of juniors and dared their parents to “come at me” when they expressed a desire to return to in-person learning full time, in one of the videos, obtained by Fox News.

She says, “If your parent wants to talk to me about their profession and their opinion on their profession, I would love to hear that. I know very little about anything else in the world other than education, okay?”

The San Marcos student, identified as Jace Jonas, ran to Fox News, saying Piro’s reaction was prompted by a question he wrote in the Zoom chat box after the school announced the creation of an Asian student union.

He explained, “I wanted to make a comment in the Zoom text box, not disrupting the class. I commented ‘why do some races get student unions but others do not?’ We should have a student union for all races or no races for true equality.”

He said that Piro paused her lesson and shouted “God d**mnit.”

“She started berating me about how as a white male I get everything and it’s my duty to look out for minorities and all these racist remarks against whites and males. She later called me a moron,” He continued.

And Just weeks after the interaction, Jace found out that his grade had dropped in Piro’s class, according to Jace’s father, Jim Jonas. When Piro was confronted about the falling grade, she blamed it on a computer error and corrected it.

Jim recalled. Piro blamed a computer error and eventually corrected it, “Jace was getting straight A’s in school. After that incident, he had a B in that class.”

Fortunately, a female student recorded Piro’s behavior and showed it to her mother, who passed it on to other parents. The encounter was then reported to the school, which quickly suspended Piro while conducting an internal investigation.

Following Piro’s suspension, a former student came forward to confirm that Piro has a history of shutting down critical thinking. The young woman explained that Piro would routinely disparage or fail students who questioned her opinions, especially if she found out that they held a political viewpoint differing from her own.

Candidates Opposing Critical Race Theory, COVID-19 Mandates Win Minnesota School Board Races

Minnesota has seen in the latest school board elections a number of wins by candidates opposing critical race theory and COVID-19 restrictions, including in areas that traditionally vote Democrats.

In Anoka-Hennepin, Minnesota’s largest school district serving some 38,000 students and 248,000 residents, Matt Audette won by a margin of over 30 percent. The only key issue on Audette’s campaign website is preventing the infiltration of CRT, which he said divides students based on their skin color and teaches that the most important aspect of their humanity is not their character, morality, or actions, but their race.

While CRT is not incorporated as part of the curriculum in Anoka-Hennepin schools, the district has partnered with the Midwest and Plains Equity Assistance Center, an organization that promotes “anti-racism education” to analyze and address supposed “systemic racism” and inequity. “The school district did take a side, and they are siding with CRT,” Audette warned. “The use of this equity analysis in our schools will affect staff development, and it will eventually get into the classrooms.”

Instead of teaching “concepts of division and guilt” derived from CRT, Audette said he supports teaching about not only racism, but also achievements and successes in racial equality in the history of the United States. He also supports giving parents “complete access” to curriculum on demand.

A special one-year seat on the Alexandria School Board went to Maureen Eigen, who said in October that she opposes CRT because it “does not empower students of color” and “furthers segregation.”

“I don’t oppose CRT because of any political agenda. I oppose it because it’s not right,” she added.

In Lakeville, Cinta Schmitz narrowly won a special election for an open school board seat. A co-founder of local parental group “Informed Fully-Awake Parents,” Schmitz ran on a platform of allowing parents to make decisions for their kids when it comes to wearing masks and receiving COVID-19 vaccines.

“Keep divisive policies that teach racism and intolerance of people with different ethnic backgrounds or skin colors—whether it’s called CRT or any other equity-related term—out of our schools,” her campaign website reads.

The Minnesota wins could be suggesting a nationwide trend, too, according to the 1776 Project PAC, a political action group with the aim to combat CRT in K–12 education and help elect conservatives to school boards in the United States. The PAC reports that as of Wednesday, 44 of the 58 candidates it endorsed have either won or are leading in their school board races.

The 44 candidates backed by the PAC include 13 in Pennsylvania, with four of them sweeping seats in Perkiomen Valley School District, which serves the powerful Democratic bastion of Montgomery County. Also among them are 11 in Colorado, nine in Kansas, four in New Jersey, three in Virginia, and two each in Minnesota and Ohio.

University worker who was forced out of his job after objecting to boss's demands to exclude white middle aged men from opening a new campus building wins £1,000 compensation

A student union worker who was forced out of his job after objecting to a manager's demands to exclude 'white middle-aged' celebrities from opening a new building has won an employment tribunal.

Ellen Rudge, then a senior manager at the University of Leicester's Students' Union, sent an email to staff asking for suggestions for high-profile figures to launch its new hub - the Percy Gee Building.

In her email the marketing manager stated she did not want 'another white, middle-aged man' for the opening of the building as she was trying to 'reflect diversity'.

But she was warned by HR worker Ricardo Champayne that by singling out a particular group she risked being offensive and derogatory.

Ms Rudge complained to her boss about Mr Champayne's response. But rather than probe her comments, an investigation was launched into Mr Champayne - who subsequently resigned.

At an employment tribunal, the father-of-six alleged he had been 'victimised' by the students' union for calling out potential discrimination.

He has now been awarded more than £1,000 after winning his claims of whistle-blowing and victimisation against the University of Leicester's SU.

In her email, marketing manager, Ms Rudge, stated she did not want 'another white, middle-aged man' for the opening of the building as she was trying to 'reflect diversity'

At the employment tribunal, in Nottingham, a judge ruled that it was reasonable for Mr Champayne to conclude that Ms Rudge's email on February 14, 2020, was discriminatory.

In the message she said: 'I am looking for suggestions for notable public figures the University could approach to officially open the new SU/Percy Gee Building in September.

'I have been very vocal about the need for the person to reflect diversity i.e. not another white middle aged man...'

Mr Champayne, who had only worked at the SU for a month, replied to her: 'Dear Ellen, I write in regard to your email seeking nomination for representative to SU.

'I have set the matter as needing urgent attention. With all respect, I am bound by personal and legal principles to object the [sic] tone of your email.

'It is not right to speak in a derogatory way against anyone. I must highlight that diversity can be represented by any race of class.

'I am conscious that recipients of this email potentially were offended.'

Ms Rudge considered Mr Champayne was alleging she was a 'racist'. She claimed she was 'shocked and attacked' and that her 'integrity was questioned'.

'Upset' Ms Rudge brought the matter to her colleague, HR and fiance manager Samantha Creese, who 'treated the matter seriously' and launched a disciplinary investigation into Mr Champayne.

Around the same time, female workers had complained about 'inappropriate' messages from Mr Champayne on social media asking to be friends outside of work and he was jointly investigated for that.

As Mr Champayne was investigated, Ms Rudge, who now works for a volunteer group charity in Cornwall, was allowed to continue in her role at the union.

In an email, Mr Champayne said: 'I am concerned no one did anything about Ellen's conduct, given the gravity of what she sent to all the staff.

'I stand by my words, SU is inclusive and everyone is welcome, regardless of sex, status, age, etc. There is no place for discrimination. I will always challenge such behaviour, in and out of work.'

Mr Champayne lost a grievance against Ms Rudge after Ms Creese found in favour of her and he resigned on March 4, 2020.

The SU told him his behaviour would have amounted to 'gross misconduct' despite not attending a disciplinary hearing.

Now, Employment Judge Rachel Broughton has ruled Mr Champayne suffered 'detriments' as a result of the investigation, suspension, and grievance outcome in which he was 'intimidated'.

The students' union argued Mr Champayne's complaint was 'political correctness' rather than whistle-blowing but the judge dismissed the claim.

Judge Broughton said his whistle-blowing 'influenced' the students' union to suspend him.

The judge said: 'Ms Creese understood that Ms Rudge felt that Mr Champayne was calling her a racist...

'The tribunal conclude that the content of the protected act email was a significant reason why Ms Rudge was so upset and a significant reason why Ms Creese treated it so seriously, as an act of gross misconduct.

'We conclude that the allegation of discrimination was a significant reason behind the decision to suspend, the decision to carry out the disciplinary investigation into the protected act and to treat is as gross misconduct.'

As a result of the victimisation, Mr Champayne said he has 'lost his confidence', has been 'significantly damaged', and has become a 'couch potato' who has less energy for his children.

He was awarded £1,048 compensation.

However, Judge Broughton said Mr Champayne would have rightfully faced a gross misconduct investigation anyway over allegations of 'inappropriate' messages and 'potential' sexual harassment.

The University of Leicester's new Students' Union, the Percy Gee Building, opened in this year.

The union declined to comment when approached by MailOnline.
