#I don't post here myself ever but like. I dunno.#I work at a public school as a visibly GNC adult. And I work with special needs children. We have a pretty significant immigrant population.#Everything I see about the elimination of DEI just makes my blood run cold.#Even tho I do everything “right” in that I never ever discuss controversial topics at work#No politics no drama no mention of LGBT stuff except to my most trusted team members if they mention it first#But I know it'd just take one upset parents and with my discrimination protections gone....#Not to mention that we've had to sit down and discuss what to do if ICE comes for our kids#And then what about my direct students? Are their protections going to go next?#I work with the most vulnerable category of students even WITH their protections. What will happen to them without them?#I can't just sit here and lose my kids one by one as the laws keeping them safe healthy and educated disappear#How fucking evil do you have to be to think “protecting and including vulnerable people” is something that should be eliminated#I'm not incriminating myself by sharing my plan for if I overhear an ICE pig in the office searching for one of our kids but#I have accepted that if it comes down to it I will probably be arrested bc#I am not standing by and being complaisant in that moment#The day I agreed to this job I also accepted that from that day forward those are MY KIDS during the school day#Unless I hear straight from the parents to give up then I'll keep protecting those kids.#I just thought the things I would be protecting them from was bullying or regular school danger like tripping on the playground#Not the actual fucking President#I shouldn't have to even be imagining what I would do in these situations#And those babies shouldn't have to deal with actually experiencing them
