I'll be damned this has finally made national news. Here locally. we've known about this story for weeks, and of course it's good old piece of shit Portland.


A Portland, Oregon teacher told her fellow educators at the Beaverton School District to embrace anti-racist thinking or it will lead to being fired in clips surfacing on social media sending social media abuzz from a February Zoom conference made public.

Eighth grade humanities teacher Katherine Watkins made her comments during the district's virtual equity summit published to YouTube by Parents Defending Education (PDE) in late April and clips of her comments were shared to social media Thursday, garnering many reactions.

"If you're being resistant, I understand that, but you're going to have to eventually come to the light because if you're going to keep up those old views of colonialism, it's going to lead to being fired because you're going to be doing damage to our children...trauma," Watkins said during the Zoom call.
