As much as I dislike this particular journalist, I do agree the trainers lost their cool and created an unsafe environment for the principal. As a racialized person, I don’t want to defend the principal, since it seemed like he was taking a Lynn Beyak approach to diversity training, but I have to call foul play where I see it.
What I particularly dislike about Sarkonak’s article is that he’s using this story to push his political agenda, rather than just report. It’s one thing to call out wrongdoing by a few individuals, but to use that to paint an entire group or political position in a single colour is disingenuous at best.
