My grandson was being bullied at school and 1 day he defended himself. Zero tolerance ment he gets the same punishment!! Really??? Self defense??? No one stopped the bullying except him!!! We are proud of him for standing up for himself!!!!
Yep home school him if necessary 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💋
It's to get people USED to being pushed around by rotten people. Thugs don't care about suspension. They don't have goals that include college. The rich kids don't have to go to the schools run by thugs, so they're protected....as they will be by their parents' connections (which will become theirs). Only the middle, lower middle, and poor with goals including college, will be harmed by that nonsense. THAT'S the group they have to get used to being bullied and pushed around....so the little rich kids, who become their bosses don't have to work at earning respect. They happily take loathing and fear. The really poor, that don't get to go to college, are already used to it. They obey the gangs, the cops, and whatever the bureaucrats demand for them to get their assistance. Only a fool that had a well off childhood, protected from thugs, would believe that "violence never solved anything." WHY are there TWO wars going on right now. I'll tell you why. Bullies entered sovereign territory and killed citizens of a society that DOESN'T want to live under their invaders' rule. Who ever heard of a country being invaded/ bombed and not retaliate? No one, that's who. Any nation that's known for not being willing/able to retaliate severely gets destroyed. Ever see what happens when parents don't set a brat straight early in its development? Scary....
Any bully that made my life hell a while got their clocks cleaned eventually, when I was good and fed up with their nonsense. I literally NEVER had a minute's trouble from them afterwards. They didn't even mess with others afterwards. It's hard to get people to put up with you, when they've seen the honor roll girl with pony tails and glasses kick your @$$. At a minimum, they no longer got suspended for fighting or bullying....so maybe violence DOES solve a lot.
Yes!! He'll probably get 10x the better education. Homeschooling is not structured the way public education is. Lessons can happen anywhere! All kinds of math can be taught while food shopping! I wish I had homeschooled my kids.
@@CheleBoxy The part that gets me, is the kids often get p!$$ed at the idea of homeschool. "I'll miss my friends." I dunno. If my full time mill working mom has offered me the option to be in my home (as ridiculously poor as it was) and read assignments and write answers to questions while she was at work (I made straight A's in class rooms 2-3 years above my own age group), I would've JUMPED at it. She'd have checked the work after she got home and given tests then or the weekend. I had friends.... quite a few of them, but I couldn't parlez that into a good reason to put up with a lot of the nonsense. I had viciously cruel teachers occasionally (in the 70s in the deep south it was a cardinal sin to be a divorced woman...or her daughter.) I had to ride a bus with a loathsome bunch of miscreant thugs and hooligans. Let's talk about that ridiculously uncomfortable wooden desk too. Friends were merely a teeny bandaid over the wounds some aspects of public schools inflicted on me routinely. Yeah, we homeschooled from first grade.
That’s not fair! It’s the way schools are becoming and the workplace is becoming increasingly this way too. He made his stand, took the punishment and the thugs should leave him alone now. Wait and see how things go but start checking into homeschooling. 😢
this professor is one of those rare people we need more of these days . he is teaching his students how to think , not what to think.
sometimes, sometimes he plays the woke game, too. He had a conversation with a tall woman on the swim team trying his best to justify that Bill/Lea Thomas should have been allowed to participate as a transgender woman in the swim team, pointing out that this particular female swimmer also had advantages because she was taller that some of her competitors. And she didn't contradict him at all. Not sure if she really agreed with him or just didn't think it was worth fighting the professor.
This professor, and the army of assholes pushing the same shit, are the reason we're in this mess. We don't now, and never have, needed college professors to tell us how to navigate the world. When we didn't have guys like this, things were orders of magnitude more peaceful. Those that can't do, teach. Those that don't know anything worth learning, do what this guy does.
IDK…I’ve caught him in several of the source videos on these topics just like this one where he doesn’t accurately portray the facts as he presents the scenario - and not just one or two but as many as 5-10. This is a huge problem to be an academic who is presenting material out of context in an an era where this age group has been indoctrinated to believe the worst of each other motives…how could they not in this climate? They have no frame of reference. When your likable professor is making cases for understanding one another, yet he presents the anecdotes for the lessons without telling the truth, & he’s affirming that certain cases I’ve watched him speak of were obviously racist or bigoted, etc, then he’s just putting it a slightly less aggressive pill, but none the less a poisonous pill - he’s still reinforcing what they’ve been told incessantly their whole lives through current media coverage. Without the actual facts of the PJ situation, for instance, they’re left with no idea that he wasn’t referring to anyone as the “n” word - that changes the entire perspective. And he didn’t bother to help them explore the issue of the hijab & the elderly employee - or tell whether it was hypothetical or not - & if true, to find out WHEN this happened with the older woman & if she had been told that hijabs and general religious paraphernalia & attire were prohibited - I say this not because that would be ok, but because many of the people this age wouldn’t know that after 9/11, and also after terror attacks in London & French cities they were conflicted regarding the wearing of (France ruled burkas & hijabs - as well as many Catholic clothing) illegal for a time but could not enforce it after years of fighting & controversy) about whether the attire would provoke unrest & violence. Again, absolutely wrong by any western democracy legal standards, but it would have helped to have known if this little story was in that timeframe because they also need the contextual information explaining just HOW chaotic & frightening the time period was for people. Not to defend it but as an example of how to try to understand motivations & missteps, mass bad behavior, etc, that EVERY time period has had - and all very different yet similar in that people are continuously stepping in it repeatedly because we’re people - if we’re to begin to heal wounds and anger, from ALL sides. A professor who keeps doing this is either doing so because he himself is in the bubble and thinks he’s doing something right, which implies that he most often thinks things were done because “racism,” or didn’t know of the inaccuracies…which means he didn’t do the even the cursory research. Even though he has research candidates under his advisory lead. Either way it makes him less than an honest broker.
@@silviaquesada2499 Did he believe it or was he pushing the student to think? He does that.
@@Hunsuck_O_Rama They had a whole class where They talked about the Papa John situation. I'm guessing this was the next class meeting. The problem I see is that even after he presented it, some people still thought John Schnatter deserved being pushed from his company. Just like here. The students have no concept of shades of gray. Or at least, the ones who speak.
Zero tolerance is probably one of the worst policies there is.. My teen son was beaten up in school by 3 other teens for Not being one of them. All he did was block the hits and kicks as best he could. He was suspended for 2 weeks, the same as the 3 thugs. For just being involved.
After we finished arguing with the principle, his suspension was lifted. Then we gave him a few days to say bye to his friends and started homeschooling. There is no protection for the victim, with Zero tolerance policies.
oh we had a poster in my son's school, 12 years ago, "bullies have feelings too". Yeah sure, but that is NOT an excuse. Pathetic.
They want to punish men who protect themselves and others. Do you know why?
Zero tolerance is totaltaltarisim.
Zero tolerance is stupid the only time I can think of that it ‘helped’ was when I got suspended for threatening to shoot my little brothers bully in middle school because he was following us home after school and it was either I threaten him or turn around and punch him in the face but before you comment let me give some context me and my brother are both white males… my brother is a year and a half younger than me… the bully was the same age as him… the bully was black… I only didn’t go to jail because 1) the guy was bullying my little brother 2) I didn’t actually have a gun on me I just happened to know where my dads pistol was back home… I was given in school suspension for a terroristic threat for 3 days… my brothers bully allegedly got only one day of out of school…
@@brandondyche5940 You did the right thing without violence to protect your brother. And don't ever let anyone tell you different.
In my eyes, that was a worthwhile suspension that I think only deserved a warning. No one should be punished for protecting themselves or a loved one. Unfortunately, zero tolerance does that. Hopefully the bully left your brother alone after😉
I find it strange how schools have zero tolerance rules, and yet they tolerate bullies
Zero tolerance policies are ridiculous in a society that pushes tolerance.
That is kind of profound.
its selective Tolerance being pushed, there is a agenda@@k9sandcats268
Is zero tolerance policy only punishes the victim. Because without a zero tolerance policy the perpetrator only gets in trouble if caught. And only the perpetrator gets in trouble if caught. With zero tolerance policies if the victim has to fight back they get in trouble. So their damned if they do, they get in trouble by the school, and damned if they don't, they're being bullied by the bully. All a zero tolerance policy does is punish the victim.
Liberal woke policies!
At least they didn't use double standard to forgive him because he is black. On other hand he just said to not call him that which doesn't seem like very apropriate situation to push zero tolerance policy to me.
For a sociology professor, he’s doing a good job of teaching understanding and nuance rather than an agenda.
I've seen him several time, doing his best to keep things low key and moderate.
I knew they'd start attacking him sooner or later.
Sad and disappointing to see some of his students on their phones or not paying attention to him at all during his lectures.
I'm surprised he hasn't been fired or mob attacked yet
That's how you should study at the university. University should be an opportunity to learn and not the place to scream your pronouns or whatever.
When i was in college many years ago, I never knew such ridiculous behavior was brewing.
To busy getting my degree.@@marikothecheetah9342
This professor is exactly what all schools need. He works to open dialogue and have discussion. Smart man.
Well, as it has often been said, as long as we are talking we are not fighting. Real fighting starts when people stop talking and demonize people who disagree with them, then they feele emotionally free to do violence to them. Tedious as it is.....keep talking.
"We have to give each other space to make mistakes."
Perfectly stated. I'm going to have to remember that.
The Papa John’s issue was pure politics. He was reading out the list from HR of slurs that would be actionable under a new policy. That list included the N word. The board used it to drive him out.
that's why you never take your company public. no board, no bullsh**
Yeah he didn’t use it to slander anyone, he was quoting someone or something. Personally I think if someone wants to be racist and use racial slurs, that’s their right to freedom of speech. If someone wants to be an asshole, that’s their right, it just shows their character and reveals what kind of person they are.
Same thing neither one of them was in the wrong
@@maczack87I agree. If you're willing to accept the consequences (many people are), then you should be able to say ANYTHING you want to say. By consequences I mean getting the social cold shoulder. Nothing other than that should happen to you. I still think about the young couple who were convicted of a hate crime because they harassed a family of color at a public park and used the n-word. They both received 15 years in prison. That is an absurd sentence to give someone considering that freedom of speech is an important part of our constitution.
Context is supposed to matter in a society that values free speech. Context being ignored in so many public cases should be a red flag.
I'd shake his hand and say thanks for handling that crazy crap so well. This isn't zero tolerance, it's zero intelligence.
what if the guard was white?
i’m not trying to troll.
just a thought for you.
@@SMNC-mf4fb so you can’t answer the question, got it.
Of course he shouldn't be fired. It's effing ridiculous. How do you call something out if you can't even speak it? Just another crazy example of our deteriorating society.
So true
@@tiznip If the security guard were white, and he told the offending student to stop calling him N, then he still wouldn't deserve to lose his job. Using the word against a person is not the same as using it to tell someone to stop using it against you, no matter how much melanin a person carries in their skin tone.
My dad told me, "Zero-tolerance Policies are the castration of wisdom."
Only cowards refuse to exercise good judgment.
"We just pick and choose who is acceptable for forgiveness."---Nailed it. ✊ The world would be a better place if we all gave each other much more grace.
Grace yes, by all means, but personally I feel that grace and forgiveness must be tempered with the hammer and anvil of responsibility and accountability. In a world where no one takes accountability for their actions these types of scenarios will becomes commonplace, because they already are.
So let me get this correct.
The Muslim woman can wear a hijab because it's part of her religion. People are freaking out and supporting her.
Yet, when a Christian owned business chooses not to bake a cake or cater a wedding for a gay couple due to their religious beliefs everyone wants to business shut down.
It's these double standards that I absolutely hate.
We either need to say EVERYONES religious beliefs are important or NOBODYS religious beliefs matter.
We don't get to pick and choose.
I'm black and if someone said I don't make cakes for black couples... great I'll pay my money to someone who does 🤷🏽♀️simple 💋
@@ladyk7317spot on. In a country that supposedly allows for equality and religious freedom, the ability of people to vote with their wallet is powerful. Look at Bud Light.
It's a constitutional right, isn't it? Not from the US, but that's my understanding regarding religious freedom and equality for all, which is what made the US such a great country imo.
Religion is so divisive! Just imagine if it didn’t exist- there wouldn’t be these conversations !!!!!😡😡😡
@@valerietanner9703
It crosses all boundaries, including the god of selfishness that so many serve.
Marlon did not call anyone the slur ... He used the word in reference to himself. NO...Marlon should not be fired.
Shame on Karen😮
It wasn’t a case that he called someone the N word, it was that he said it. That was the rule. Zero tolerance. I however wouldn’t had dismissed Marlon….his case should had been evaluated. I believe the worst thing that should had happened maybe was that he was sent home for a few days. Even that, it would had been done to only appease the naysayers per say.
@@barbarabonnette2705 Sorry to nitpick...but please replace the word "had" in your comment with the correct word "have" . It is a matter of tense and the use of the word "had" is past tense in sentences regarding a future action. 🤔🙄😊
@@barbarabonnette2705Yea I think it's dumb that context of how the word is used does not factor into their policy...BUT at the same time, the principal did hold both parties to the same standard, which I think is still better than woke double standards.
He was provoked beyond measure, he should NOT have been fired.
“We have to give each other the grace to make mistakes.” Every parent should teach this to their children.
Firing him for saying “stop calling me a n*****” is absolutely absurd. Things have to be taken in the totality of the situation. It is like suspending kids for pointing finger guns while playing cops and robbers at recess. There is no critical thought on the decisions. The enlightened one saying “I feel she is 100% wrong”, shows she is not thinking.
I'm sorry, but that's not comparable. It would be like a kid getting in trouble for showing a teacher what other kids were doing by making finger guns. Critical thought 🙄
@@ladyN0B0DY That's a fair distinction.
Wait a second, Finger guns are BAD in school now? *glances at the 1962 manual to make a shooting box in shop and the rules to "marksmanship" which used to be a thing IN SCHOOLS with .22 lever actions... yeah, okay, so america has changed. Marksmanship is gone, javalin throw is vanishing, I suppose they'll do away with archery and starter pistols next.
My granddaughter got suspended because she sang along with the lyrics of a black rapper.
People are coming to the black man's defense because he is black. Papa John is white. He just repeated something he read just like my granddaughter singing a song. That word should be taboo for every race on the planet. I have never understood why, if that word is so offensive, then why do black people use it continually? Makes no sense. And talk about appropriation. Didn't racist white folks make that word up to denigrate black people? Last word I would want to use or have used under those circumstances.
You forgot to end quote when quoting lol…. What’s wrong is there was no “except these words” in the 1st amendment. And as long as “We The People” continue to play PC games that go totally against what 1st amendment stands for We will continue to del with this stupidity. And by the by I agree w you and I’m just teasing about the quote. I skip words and such all the time…. I hate typing. I only have 2 fingers that work correctly… well when typing lol
If this country was ever free, it’s certainly not now. The intolerance makes me want to puke.
I live in a free country. I have all the licenses and permits to prove it.
@@VroodenTheGreatlol, that's a good one.
A truly free country is one without laws. No rules to hold you back from total freedom. I'm not advocating for that, but the "freedom" being preached today is a social construct made for political reasons.
This is a double standard as much as we don’t want to admit it. Love that there are still professors like this.
I agree. All this give some power until it doesn’t. Kids are just so won’t to be controlled ..Sad. They will hate it when it start to be them too.
Zero tolerance is a way for administrators, who lack bravery in making the hard decisions.
The man being fired over the fact that he tried to stop someone calling him that is insane!
Love what you do, keep spreading awareness!
Son, I have kids your age, maybe a bit older, and I watch your channel because I simply enjoy listening to a level headed, kind, thoughtful young person like you bring common sense and grace to a generation that desperately needs it. You should be proud of yourself and I hope your parents are proud of you and know what a great kid they've raised.
Agree
Yes!! ❤
Ditto
there is a huge difference between someone calling someone the N word and someone asking someone to stop calling them the N word
You're 100% correct.
Context matters and since he was not using it as a slur, no. He should never have been fired. No one should. Honestly nobody should be fired over a word as that give the word and the authority way too much power. Some humans simply need thicker skin.
Absolutely. Unfortunately the ones holding the reigns have declared context doesent matter.
Totally agree. The only power that words hold is in the reactions they elicit. If a negative word elicits no negative reaction it has no power. Mean spirited children used to make fun of my last name as a child. I finally figured out in second grade that if I joined them in making fun of my own last name that it stole all the fun out of what they were doing. If I could figure that out in second grade why can some adults not figure out that same simple strategy. After I took the power away from them by not giving them the desired reaction it wasn't long before no one was mocking my last name anymore.
context does not matter, the fact that we can no longer use a word in ANY context is part of the downfall of this country. it is after all just a word.
Context only matters when certain people want it to matter.
@@chesterlestrange7725 No context matters... when they want it to matter. It is just like youtube, they decide when something is okay and when it isn't, you are one of the special people that the higher ups in youtube cares about then context matters and you can do things that others would get banned for.
"Give each other the Grace to make mistakes". That, young man, is truly profound, and truly Christian in its wisdom and compassion.
I believe you make your Mother proud with those words, young sir. Amen. Ah-men.
It’s nice to see someone reasonable commenting on issues and not having a preconceived agenda
No, that's just crazy how nuts the speech police have got 😳.
I hope it never reach my country. This is chilling.
As one that has witnessed the change first hand, it’s stupid and ridiculous! Some gene mutation happened to the younger generations that they have all been born with tissue thin skin and pudding for guts.
Absolutely. This is anti-American and insane. Thanks Democrats for all this chaos and insanity.
@@lamichkain what country do you reside? For you and your county's sake, I hope this b.s. doesn't reach your country either. If it does, nip it in the butt at the very beginning of it. God bless you, my friend. Stay safe and stay healthy
@@sexylove60405 God bless you too. Iam from Czech Republic.
“As humans we have to give each other the grace to make mistakes” Very wise and thoughtful for such a young man. Bravo!
Agreed! and Amen
Why is it a mistake to repeat the words that are being hurled at you?
"Why don't we treat each other like people anymore?"
Thank you for asking the most important question.
Because it's too hard to not think of the other as the enemy. No one on Earth is immune to this way of thinking. Even the Dali Lama is not immune.
Governments cannot exist without some sort of conflict.
Eliminate the conflict by talking face-to-face. No phones, no computers.
JoJo, I just wanted to say I appreciate your willingness to engage with controversial conversations. I think your approach is definitely doing more good than harm for sure 👍🏻
Its called "Identity Politics". Its all about assigning and ranking groups by identity into levels of oppression (aka "the oppression olympics"). The groups in the highest ranked oppression categories are supposed to get the most privilege, sympathy, and exception from rules/laws. Identity politics, when in practice, is the exact opposite of 'rule of law' & 'equal application of law'.
We said
The problem is all these 'victims' are from Collective Narcissist cultures.
Literal supremacists...with Zero-Self Awareness, and who use 'False Manipulative Victimhood' to bully others, and attract 'Flying Monkeys' (Abuse Enablers - the Center Left).
The 'Woke' Flying Monkey always coddles their fellow Narcissists, and abuses the Empath.
And they think they're the 'good guys', due to the narcissist Ego and twisted Covert Narcissist mindset.
#WokeMindVirus #Narcissism #BlackNarcissists
Yup
Zero Tolerance about bullying actually allows bullying.
Dig this: Abused boy goes to school, is abused there as well, fights back/defends himself.
Admins label him the bully, and does nothing at all to the person or people that abused the boy.
Status quo is supposed to be a dead concept, but they still practice it.
Absolutely agree with you. When my son was in High school (12 to 16) he was bullied. Cut a long story short I was called into school regarding my boy. He was accused of being a bully. He stuck up for himself, but found himself segregated for the day. He sat at a desk, with wooden sides to where he couldn't see anything. I was absolutely gob smacked towards this panel of teachers.
My son was bullied by 4 boys they had him on the ground and bending his leg to the breaking point, he lunged out and kicked the boy. My son was suspended and boys were not punished. I got a call at work and had to ask to go early as my son was being suspended. After hearing my son's story, I went to school next day and demanded to see the principal. I told her the entire story and after hearing of the names of the 4 boys, my son was allowed back. Although she then commented that my son shouldn't have defended himself. The 4 boys were never punished
"Anything for my friends, the law for my enemies." Rules are only as good as those who enforce them.
My son was bullied a lot at School. On an outing one of the teachers told me if he stuck up for himself he promised he wouldn't see a thing. My son was not a fighter so he would have got his butt kicked but him and I both really appreciated that teacher. He felt less alone.
Happened to our son. We took all of them out and homeschooled from then on.
Zero tolerance is a copout that's often used by people or organizations that don't want to have to make hard decisions. It's an abdication of responsibility that's often used by cowards. I have zero respect for those policies or those who use or advocate for them.
So if that security guard had have been ANYONE ELSE, they would have been fired. Rightly so. And so should have she. That’s what is called equality.
All words are permisable when in used in the right context. This legalism is out of control. Baby+bathwater.
Context can kill or save a conversation. You see this on the news all the time. They'll clip 30 seconds of a speech, let's just say Trump since that's the easiest to use, where he says "their were fine people on both sides" then cut it before he says "I'm not talking about the neo-nazi's or white supremacist, they should be condemned totally" to make it out like he was saying the neo-nazi people were fine.
coolsville sucks!@@Aaroncarter95
Yep, you should how us aussies talk to their friends!
@@Aaroncarter95the edited video of him feeding the koy fish, with the japanese prime minister or the lie of him "making fun of disabled people" was outrageous & woke a lot of people up to the media.
@@Aaroncarter95very true! On that day in Charlottesville there were 4 groups of people.
The 2 sides from the town that had a legitimate disagreement because of a statue & the 2 groups of x_tr3m_!¡Sts that descended on this town, to cause a stir.
Zero tolerance rules are the biggest cop-out ever. They might as well say, we refuse to give this any critical thought, because we are not capable. This is who is educating our kids.
I wouldn’t have fired him.. suspended maybe for a term.. but he WAS provoked!! And they expect grown folks to JUST TAKE IT… entitled children need to be disciplined!! ❤️❤️❤️
Taking the context of a situation into consideration is crucial.
I love what you said about giving each other Grace rather than jumping to the conclusion that everything is done with ill intent or malice.
Professor that sets everything up for CRITICAL THINKING. As a previous prof of 14+ years, I salute you. I quit teaching, and am glad to be out given how bad things were just 5 years ago--can't imagine it now. Glad Penn State is allowing this!
I remember back to the year 1982. I had gotten a job at a convenience store & was being trained. I'm white & the lady training me was black. Well, at the end of the shift we counted the monies, did the receipts, etc. & clocked out. The next day I went to work only to be told that I was fired because SHE had forgotten to lock the safe. A safe that I only got to see & not touch. The boss literally told me that they couldn't fire the black lady because she threated to go to the NAACP & they didn't want to make waves, but someone had to be fired because of what happened. I was homeless at the time & staying at the local Salvation Army so I didn't have to sleep on the streets. So I REALLY needed this job. Was this fair? Of course not. Did it make me hate black people? No. The lady had a family to feed & just wanted to keep her job. She, however, had someone to turn to that had her back. I didn't. But have things gotten any better in the last 41 yrs? I don't think so. In fact, I think it's gotten a lot worse. Our system is broken, kids are being brainwashed, & a lot of people just regurgitate what they're told instead of taking the time to investigate for themselves what the truth is. I say we go back to telling our children "no", not creating a bunch of entitled adults, spanking a butt every once in a while & treating EVERYONE with dignity & respect. That's just an old ladies view. Love your channel!
I had a similar situation happen to me and a friend in the 90s. We both worked at a little Caesars and our boss was black. He rarely showed up for work and when he did he was usually high on crack. My friend and I only 16 usually ran everything including closing the store alone every day. We never mentioned to the regional manager about about our boss not being there not showing up we just let him do his thing. When we came into work one day the regional manager said he wanted to talk to us both in the back office. When we went to the back two police officers and our boss who never showed up was in the back. The regional manager then explained to us, several thousands of dollars had come up short over the last few months then accused both me and my best friend of taking it and the police where there to arrest us. The boss who never showed up threw us under the bus started accusing us as well and making accusations of things we weren’t responsible for. We both told the police to review the video (this little ceasars was inside Kmart) the video from Kmart not the actual little ceasars. The police thankfully reviewed the video and saw that every night that boss would enter the little ceasars after we had closed. The regional manager still fired me and my friend and didn’t chose to press charges on the boss. His explanation was the same thing. Something had to be done and if he did anything to the boss he’d go to the NAACP which would cost the company even more money….
@brendaokuda158 Parents are doing something wrong if they are too ignorant to look up facts when things don't seem fair.
Amen! I got spanked and I am no worse for the wear. I also don’t lie, cheat or steal. I respect my elders and don’t want them to look at me in shame. More people should be forced to experience shame. I bet we wouldn’t have all these very stupid, incompetent, rude adults walking around acting like the world owes them because they “didn’t ask to be born.” I wish when people say that, they could disown them on the spot and it was legally binding. You don’t ask to be born and I don’t ask for such and a-hole for a child.
Wow, you're good! Your observation that the professor is humanising her is just great.
Dude- you are doing Gods work! Love your intellectual honesty and your compassion for the human condition - forgive those who trespass against us and forgive us our trespasses!
I loved when you said, "We have to give each other the space to make mistakes." As a nation, we are constantly learning about other ethnicities, religions, and cultures. Learning is a life-long process and that quote is spot on with what you said. Thank you for that perspective.
"Zero Tolerance" policies are nothing more nor less than an excuse for bureaucrats not using their brains. It is an excuse not to have to exercise judgment. And if there is any place where adults should be showing others how to use good judgment, it is in our schools. How else are inexperienced youth going to learn to be competent, productive adults? We should have zero tolerance for zero tolerance policies.
Zero tolerance policies remove all variables out of the situation so that the standard is applied the at same level for everyone. They remove all judgements which can be challenged if those judgements are applied unevenly. Zero tolerance makes it a level playing field for everyone. And finally, zero tolerance is the easiest level to explain in court.
@@bigk4755 Just because something is equally shit for everyone doesn't mean it's in any way good. Judgments are necessary, you just can't paint over every single situation with the same broad brush, the world does not work that way
@@vicc6790 I never said that it being shit for everyone made it good. But it does make it equal. By creating a standard by which everyone is treated equally you remove the variable of treating some different from others, which leads to lawsuits of different standards for different people by race, age, gender, class, financial standing, whatever.
My husband was a high school teacher for 18 years in a predominantly black high school and before that was a youth minister working with all races. Last year while walking through the hallway there was a large group of black students messing around and using the N-word. They weren’t allowed to use that word on the campus. My husband asked them to stop using that word and one replied that they can use it whenever they want just not him because he’s white. After some control discussion that was becoming argumentative my husband said in a huff, You can’t use the word ni___r on campus. He told them he was very disappointed but left them and went straight to the administration and told them the situation that just happened, because there was a group you didn’t drag any of them in to get in trouble but just corrected them. The administration took down his notes and said OK. The next day, apparently one of them was filming the situation and had taken just two seconds of the video where my husband use that word in correction, Looped it to repeat over and over and put it on every single social media. My husband was not even suspended, but then the parents came forward and they held a meeting with the parents and students and my husband. He was fired.
@amyaeschbtach3581. That was so unfair. Is your husband appealing? I feel there is a change coming. Average Joe's are aware that the race card is being played now at every opportunity and its not helping anyone or anything. Things are going to change. I hope your husband appeals and gets justice.
As an older guy, this young man gives me hope with his open mind and unbiased nature.
I think your idea of grace, and even your choice of that word is spot on. It’s how I feel.
Great video. Truth. I am Gen X and if every mistake we made was on SM, we'd have had our lives destroyed a LOOONG time ago.
No kidding. Gen Xer too and I’m thankful our fun times and stupid mistakes came before SM. No pictures , No proof. 😂😂😂
Yep.
Zero tolerance is a policy adopted when people are stripped of all judgement and context. The principal avoids having to use judgement to make a decision. It is the ultimate cover-your-ass rule.
That's all it is 🤷🏽♀️
I'm so glad I stumbled upon your channel. I love your heart and common sense.
I love watching you discuss these topics because you are the most intelligent, fair people I have ever seen! Thank you for your non- judgmental points of view. Very refreshing!
There can´t be no "zero tolerance policy" because you will ALWAYS have exceptions. And this is clearly one of them.
And every "bad" word needs to be seen in context - who said it, when, where and to whom.
Zero tolerance makes no sense since there’s always exceptions to the rules and that should be acknowledged but I guess not.
When I heard you say that as humans we have to give each other the grace to make mistakes I thought wow...what an amazing thing to say...and you are right!
He gave me CHILLS!!! ❤❤❤
And he has come to this realization young! Great things ahead for this young man.
The Supreme Court ruled years ago that the use of the n word is protected free speech whether you like it or not & NOT JUST by black people.👍
This professor is fantastic. He deserves his accolades. 👏👏
The presence of a “zero tolerance” policy should be a red flag that the organization is extremely dysfunctional and needs to be avoided at all costs…
What he goes to on this lecture is how important context is and how it can change the situation entirely.
This is exactly why “zero tolerance” is unacceptable.
All situations are unique.
That woman that says she could understand at the airport and that’s okay.
That’s most likely the reason for the policy at the stadium.
Making sure you are not hiding shit in there.
I don't think the old lady security guard is wrong. Sounds like their policy was "remove head covering" for security reasons, and she was following orders.
what if she was white, a man, and middle aged?
would you feel the same
@@tiznipmaybe you should be wondering what Muslims would do to the woman for removing her head covering in a Muslim country. That very head covering is used to oppress women.
@@tiznip Race and sex does not matter. Age does have to be taken into account. A younger person usually knows about Muslim women's headdress.
It wasn't a hijab that threw the security guard, it was a niqab, big difference.
It depends on what instructions she was given.
The zero tolerance policy shouldn't have existed in the first place. It's like having a zero tolerance policy for fighting and expelling a kid for defending himself against someone. Circumstances and context nearly ALWAYS matter, especially when it comes to speech.
It's like people love to bring up the "fire in a theater" as some argument for limiting speech. This is stupid, because you absolutely can yell FIRE in a theatre...when there is an actual fire. Context matters.
Agreed. But the reason zero tolerance policies exist is so they can go after the perpetrator. We live in a world where if not for the zero tolerance policy you can't punish the "bad guy" cuz of crooked lawyers. Unfortunately there's tons of collateral damage
The base is that the policymakers are convinced humans (beside them) are dumb - as sandstone level dumb
So at the local middle schools and many others I've heard about is absolute chaos. Fights daily, no consequences. There is a zero tolerance policy toward hate speech. Why is it so hard to take things case by case? Must the pendulum always swing from one extreme to the other?
@nateb4543 because of lawsuits. Case by case situation also open the opportunity for "bias." I am NOT for Zero Tollerence policy, but i see why they are used.
The problem often is that the people at the top who devise the policy often don't really understand the reality on the ground, so that the policy will inevitably cause a problem sooner or later
So, here is why I love your content and your openness. The zero tolerance should be for original thought, not trying to de-escalate the situation. The challenge comes when, someone can make the right decision off script. Too many people get their law degree from TV shows. It’s ok to have free thought. It’s ok to de-escalate. It’s not ok to take a persons job for asking them to cease and desist. Example: I have a zero tolerance policy for someone disrespecting a president of the us. You’re fired. Who makes that a zero tolerance policy?
Administration wants a “one rule fits all” because it keeps them from being held accountable for their decisions!
You are such a breath of fresh air! Thank you. I’m a teacher that does not have the patience of a monk, but I try to give grace. That’s the way I was raised and I think we all need that reminder. Thanks for sharing. Yes, try to be understanding and “give each other space to make mistakes”!
You are doing more good than harm. Thanks very much for being calm and REASONABLE.
About the 71 yrs old woman, I disagree. Because if I'm given the order 'no one with a hat or head covering' , no one will go in with anything on their head. Religious reason or not. Unless my employer explicitly gives me a list of exclusion. It's not personal but commitment to duty.
Thinking a woman of that age has never seen a hijab or does not know what it is, is unlikely. Caring more about the job she's been paid for, than people protesting makes more sense to her.
But I was not there so I'm only speculating. I would doubt she would have any reason to be mean about a head cover.
On the security person story, we are only being told part of the story. We do not know what she has been instructed to do. It doesn’t matter if she was 71 and black. What matters is what she had been told what was allowable and not allowable and how she understood it. As far as zero tolerance rules, these usually come about due to “double standards” where a person of selected sex, race, religious orientation can get away with doing something against normal rules or morays and a person not included in the selected groups is punished. Zero tolerance is an attempt to evenly apply rules across all people. It is also used address people who purposely push against rules in order to break them without being held accountable. A “rule” should apply to everyone and not just to a select few. There can be caveats but they also need to be clearly defined. As far as this teacher goes, he does not ever really challenge the students to question their beliefs.
It wasn't a hijab that threw the security guard, it was a niqab, big difference.
My thoughts exactly.
@@gracecollins8415thank you for the clarification. There's a bit of a difference between the two items of clothing.
I think that the zero-tolerance mindset is more about not making excuses for minor offenses until they become major offenses. The idea is that if you come down hard on minor bullying or violence or whatever, you can nip it in the bud. The problem is with the “zero” part. Too often it means talking about or reacting to the bad thing is just as punishable as committing it. So the security guard who complains about being called a racial slur is treated the same as the student who was using it. The child who draws a picture of the towers in New York burning on 9/11 is suspended because of his “violent fantasies”. The boys who point their fingers on the playground and say “bang” are punished because there is zero tolerance for weapons “actual or simulated”.
@@david672orford It is pretty clear that you have not been in any position where you had to enforce any rules. Rules, and laws for that matter, are not put in place to control peaceful, considerate, honest people but to put bounds on people who are none of those. Do good people get harmed with them? Yes, it is collateral damage. As an example, one of the safety rules in my career was that people with long hair had to wear a hairnet to keep it contained. It became a constant fight as to the definition of “long”. As such, a no tolerance rule was put in place that required everybody to wear one. Even people which were bald. Resulting in uniform compliance. As far as your example of a boy pointing his finger and going “bang”, in this day and age of gangs and their associated lack of respect for life that simple act could actually be a real threat of a future attack. How could you know? Whose responsibility is it to, in the moment, determine if it was just in play or was an actual threat? And is that a responsibility that you would gladly accept?
He didn't use the word, he told the student not to use the word. I wouldn't have even made an issue out of it or questioned the guy at all.
It's the "Regardless of context or circumstances" that really matter here. Outlawing a word at work, so long as it doesn't stop you from expressing your freedom of speech, is fine IF it's not only upheld for EVERYBODY but also has context behind it.
I don't understand how people can look at an event, ignore context and make a ruling. Ok yes this guy did punch this lady AFTER she threw her shoe at him and attacked him first. Doesn't matter though; you should never hit a woman right?
@@Aaroncarter95 never hit a woman is an idiotic statement. It depends on situation. If she is danger to somebody use any means necessary to subdue her. That of course does NOT mean that you go casually beatin women.
Never hit a woman is a phrase from the days when women behaved like women. If they behave like a man and attack you, then surely they have thrown away that right to be regarded as a respectful non combatent? If they want to be treated like a man and act like a man, then regrettably maybe you should treat them like a man with no woman priveliges.
LFR Jojo you are so thoughtful and respectful. I’m so glad that I’m subscribed to your channel.
Hey Jojo I have had the privilege of watching your father for a few years now. It’s a pleasure knowing that he raised you right. You are a very smart young man and I know you will be a success in life . Keep learning and growing. Thanks for inspiring others on your journey .
I just last week experienced a Muslim woman in a hijab move mountains to get me a seat on a plane - me, middle-aged white woman. Why did she do it? We were both civil and kind. That’s what it’s all about folks. Shout out to Mariam at the Delta checkin counter in Detroit. ❤️ (BTW-Nice job with this channel🤗)
@patriciafredal6308... You ask, "Why did she do this?"
How about BECAUSE IT IS HER JOB??
For me it would have nothing to do with any of the factors that you alluded to. I would care less that you are a white person (and I am not).
Everyone gets paid to do their job.
Sadly they (as individuals) decide if they will care to do it well.
I am glad you received the service you DESERVED and that she cared enough (as an issue of integrity) to fulfill her obligation.
We GIVE that word power. Absolutely ridiculous in any case, but that a certain social group CAN and others cannot is not only hypocrisy it's the ultimate sign of weakness.
Rap is ridiculous in the first place and why this girl was performing it on line is a real head scratcher.
NOOOOOO, to the "Would you fire him" question.
Regarding the woman security guard........if they set the rules on what she was allowed to let in and not allowed in, she was doing her job. If the organization didn't make an exception, that is on them. Again, turn it around. If the reason was to ensure no weapons were brought in and it turned out there was a weapon, who fault would that be......the 72 year old security guards.
The “enlightened” student thinks a 71 year-old woman shouldn’t be working at a job that has very few requirements. So enlightened. 😂
yep, and a lot of those event jobs people show up (sometimes homeless) the day of or the day before to attend an in brief class held by the company or their contracted firm and then have to show up the day of the events to wait in line to see if they have a job that day as well as the pay is not that high for the hours worked (most work longer then 8 hours with no overtime) and is sometimes subsidized with meal vouchers (sometimes 1 meal and possibly a snack). Very few jobs at events are guaranteed jobs (mainly venders) with a lot of them being a keen to seasonal work just like in a department store.
@@insertname6143THIS!
Zero tolerance policies are a textbook example of using knowledge without wisdom. Jojo, appreciate you, bro. Keep up the good work.
I love watching your thought process! You think of things in the right way. You look at all sides of an issue, and you are open about it. Keep that critical thinking skill...it will take you farther than most other skills!
Once again, a man wise beyond his years. Stay humble and keep shining bro. Thanks
You are such a thoughtful young man. You give me hope that not all young people are drinking the woke kool-aid. God bless you and keep up the good work. 😊
If I was in that community, I would ask for Karen to be removed for incompetence.
You are a very thoughtful and insightful young man, and I enjoy watching your videos.
I truly believe that if you know who you are, no words, could hurt you! Zero tolerance equals ignorance!
Someone once said, "Never attribute to malice what you can attribute to ignorance. Most people are in their own world."
Jojo. I love your show. I love watching you actually use critical thinking skills to evaluate what you are viewing. To me, You represent hope for our youth today as so many seem so lost in the daze and confusion of woke ideology, you have a wisdom that shines like a light ... Keep up the good work young man
No race should be able to say a word that no others can SMH giving one race a god complex instantly
We should have a zero tolerance for stupid people in leadership of schools. IMO
It’s refreshing to hear someone as young as yourself speaking so eloquently and using critical thinking. I see so many youngsters on social media these days that appear either very shallow and “parrot a narrative “ (in it for the clicks- my daughter says) or would make you think human intelligence is regressing. Young people like yourself should be the influencers and I wish you the best of luck for your future.
It isn't even just the youngsters as you called them. I see people in there 30's, 40's, and 50's who don't have critical thinking skills, who can't find nuance in a topic, and most importantly aren't able to see what true acceptance is.
You show that using the name "Karen" for anyone that acts outrageously is not fair.
I cannot believe how many students are attending this lecture; there must be hundreds of them! How can there be enough hours in a week to tutor them? Imagine paying for this...
I love your message. Keep spreading truth.
I just can’t wrap my head around people’s weakness over being called or even just hearing a word they don’t like. If it doesn’t describe me AND i don’t respect the mouth it’s coming from then how can i be so triggered by it? The only way i can is if i believe that’s what they call me is true.
Emotional fragility mixed with being taught that if they physically retaliate to words they will not just be held up as hero's for their violence but never be subjected to any form of punishment no matter how heinous their "retaliation" to a word is.
@@Dissenting-Opinions Nonsense. I suppose you think blacks don't go to jail more than anyone else because they are so "protected' by the unfair system.
@@rachelforshee6014 In case you are referring to black people, they do not chant for the death of white people.
The ones living in urban ghettoes of course are not happy. They are sick of having to accept the worst schools, housing, food markets, and job opportunities with no way to get out without much more money.
@@rachelforshee6014 Calling someone a mean word and inciting violence by essentially calling for the death of someone/an entire demographic are two completely different things.
@@rachelforshee6014 Make no mistake, the "well meaning activists" will give in to mob rule and follow the most bad faith actors in the group. We saw it with the BLM protests, we continue to see it with the New York, Chicago, and LA urban youth gangs that run around destroying and looting everything they can get their hands on, and now we're seeing it with this ridiculous left wing pro Palestinian nonsense.
At the end of the day it does not matter if the useful idiots that make up the majority of the mob are trying to do it for the right reason. Their ignorance and propensity for violence at the drop of a hat should be seen as repugnant to a civil society. We cannot allow them the comfort of their delusions. We cannot abide whatever warped way they manipulate the morality of their evil actions in their vacuous heads because regardless of their intent their actions always seem to result in death, destruction, and mayhem for which they seem more than happy to ignore when it's done by those on their side. They should be treated the same as the bad faith actors they protect on a daily basis.
Or would you offer them that which they would never, and have never offered you? This is why the conservative right are continuously on their back foot giving ground. Without mutually assured destruction the opposition can act like a tyrant without ever having to fear the same abhorrent behavior being used against them. It breeds an ever increasing radical left that has already well overstepped their bounds but the right is too interested in living and letting live. Until we hold them accountable and treat them like the criminal thugs they seem to romanticize and idolize, it will only ever get worse.
One more thing, a quick story that happened to one of my daughters friends at school last year-she recorded herself rapping along to her favorite song, which contained the N word. She posted it on Tik Tok, and it was seen by other kids (in high school). This wasn’t done at school, but on her own time. One of my daughters other friends wrote TWO letters to the school board saying how “unsafe” she felt in such a “racist school”, and how this girl needed to be expelled immediately. Thankfully the school kept a level head about it and only addressed it through an assembly, urging the kids to be mindful that anything they post will be public, but they never denounced what this girl did. I still think they should’ve left it alone altogether, but I was relieved they took no further action. This girl meant no harm, and the other girl knew her, and should’ve known this kid wasn’t “racist”. This is the fragility these policies and beliefs around language breed. It’s also messed up that if the girl rapping hasn’t been white, the one who wrote the school board never would’ve done so.
People are using and twisting things towards an evil way of thinking. 😢
The lyrics in rap songs these days are often disgraceful. You should be angry with your daughter for using them. The problem is made worse by the fact that rap takes very little musical ability to perform so anybody can think they can "sing" a rap song. The fact is rap is more like chanting and seldom has the elements of music that make music great, such as pitch, tone, vibrato, melody and harmony and, of course, decent words in the lyrics.
So, other than foul lyrics, rap is purely rhythm and that is often off beat too.
If someone is so "in to" the rap culture that they think they can perform it on line they should have the common sense to realize they cannot use the "N" word if "dey ain't black."
It's just like the R*d Neck Comic could get away with calling himself a Red N*ck and making fun of so-called Red N*cks, but some other culture would be offensive to use that term.
This is all by design. They want to use the kids as weapons to cause friction and to get them so psychologically screwed up.
Yup I saw a story about a boy singing with his headphones on and got expelled think was in Maryland
I'd file a wrongful termination lawsuit.
I am very impressed that there is a young man like you, (college student no less) who is not only completely logical and capable of common sense and critical thinking., But out there speaking about it and setting a great example, spreading truth calling th bs out! Good job Jojo. I have been enjoying your content since i came across it. keep it up
I am so impressed with you young man. You would make a great therapist. Psychologist, Social Worker etc.
Yes me too.
You have this level of understanding , empathy and awareness that I've struggled in finding with other people! Love watching ur videos!! Keep it up! 💯
We're big on judgement, short on forgiveness.
Such great words of wisdom! NDM, but from such a young person. Keep up the great work!
Hi mate, I’m from the uk and so happy that your channel turned up. You really preach tolerance and not scared to admit when you don’t know something
"The grace to make mistakes"!!!! Omgggg I clapped for that! Jojo you are an incredible young man and your parents should be INSANELY PROUD!
I really enjoy this page!! You are logical and open minded ♥️
Jojo - I agree with you. We have to give each other the space or the latitude to make mistakes. Just found your site - subscribed after one video. Keep up the good work.
There can be no words that only some people can say. Either a word is "bad" or it is not, and if it is bad it should not be perpetuated in usage. If so, that IS "privilege" and something to consider when acting to stifle other's speech.
I believe in free speech.
I'm blown away with the wisdom you have at such an early age, you're young to me. It says so much about you and your character, integrity matters to you, the truth matters to you, it also says alot about your upbringing and those that influenced you. I personally believe that if we are to ever get past this absolutely ridiculous poison in the minds of people nowadays, it will be because of young people like yourself, well done young man, you are wise beyond your years. thank you for using it for good.
