Now THAT is privilege!
The money quote from the now-former principal at Sun Prairie East high school:
“I cannot be fired because I am black.”
Wrong, again, Renee Coleman. (O.K., you were pressured to resign, so as to avoid possible litigation. But the result is the same.)
After Ms. Coleman violated the non-disclosure agreement — yet another of the lady’s unwise actions — the school district lifted the lid on behavior that normally would get her students sentenced to a month of detention hall or outright suspended. Saying some of her teachers stank, profanely criticizing a student’s dance routine, giving the finger to another employee, mocking the hearing impaired. Even during the National Anthem at staff convocation! It goes on and on. (Read the WI State Journal account.) Oh, and mocking the district superintendent — now THAT is more privilege than the king of Siam!
Our point today is this: However did Renee Coleman get the idea that one cannot be discharged from a position of great responsibility because of one’s race? Has she learned her critical race theory so well that this self-appointed victim now feels justified to victimize others?
How did this woman get the job in the first place? Are we to believe that at her previous posts at three Illinois school districts, Renee Coleman was a combination Sojourner Truth, Bishop Desmond Tutu, and Justice Thurgood Marshall? Ms. Coleman actually bragged to people she “had gotten away with bad behavior in the past.”
This is what happens when equality of opportunity gives way to equity of results. Did her previous school districts expunge from the record her acknowledged bad behavior in obeisance to diversity, equity, and inclusion? Perhaps it was simpler to shove the problem along to the next district. (Maybe both.) Is it not obvious the woman was entrusted with high level management at each stop because of race? A kind of reparations via the human resources office door.
One also must also ask the same of Madison Supt. Joe Gothard, now that so-called “whistle blowers,” both long-serving administrators from his previous district, have come forward with allegations of financial irregularities. And the removal of Madison Southside elementary principals Principal Candace Terrell and Assistant Principal Annabel Torres. (More here)
Blaska’s Bottom Line: What kind of lesson does “I can’t be fired because I’m black” send to impressionable high school kids of any race?
13 responses to “‘I can’t be fired because I am black’”
I fear that lesson has been learned a long time ago, likely a result of the participation trophy mindset and no demanding of accountability for one’s actions.
Lest we forget: Sherman Principal Resigns Following Scathing Criticism From Outgoing Teacher
That scathing criticism from one Karen Vieth caught the chronically jaundiced eye of The Werkes ~6 1/2 years ago.
Mercifully, both may be easily explained by both Vieth & Blaska’s deeply ingrained White Privilege and (possibly) disqualifying structurally institutionalized, systemically intersectional fragility.
Does a trend of a different type of privilege (testing Melanin Positive) emerge…?
Paging…Rollie…buddy…we need a ruling.

Don’t hire the best. Hire the ones that check the most boxes. Government and private business are finding DEI doesn’t work.
Maybe a new meaning for DEI. Dedicated, Educated and Intelligent. Not my idea. I stole it from someone else.
Didn’t earn it.
Beautiful
Seems a little rough around the edges but other than the mean tweets was she doing a good job?
Is “‘I cannot be fired because I am black.’” always the case?
Not exactly; to wit:
Though both were correctly reversed after the fact-based Universe intervened, Madison West HS Security Assistant Marlon Anderson and Sennett MS Principal Jeffrey Copeland came perilously close to being sacrificed by an idiotically race-obsessed MMSD specifically, and despicable Lefty generally.
The Gotch
Both immediately came to my mind as well.
In her case blackness wasn’t enough to protect her. She made fun of fat kids – big no no it’s healthy at any size, despite what Eric Hovde and facts tell us.
Misgendered someone? Goodness gracious that’s a cardinal sin. This is not the era of Bill Parcells referring to Terry Glenn as “she”.
I don’t know who the bad guy is here. Hope the whole story comes out but I think she will be quietly paid off.
“She made fun of fat kids – big no no it’s healthy at any size”
Depending on the Narrative du Jour, kids are either underfed/starving to death, or obese.
Regarding the latter, and after surveying photographic evidence, one may accurately surmise that the Porcine EX-Principal (confirmed member of THE Porkiest Demographic in the known Universe) has no mirrors.
“Misgendered someone? Goodness gracious that’s a cardinal sin.”

Black privilege. They’ve been hearing it their entire lives. They are owed.
When is someone gonna remember he was raped by Tulsi Gabbard. I was… in my dreams.
Does that count?
