Someone try to convince me that the progressive left hasn't completely lost their minds and that these grade school kids are being subjected to social engineering. It's funny but it isn't.
San Francisco teacher writes in op-ed: Bernie Sanders?mittens a �lesson in white privilege?/b>
A San Francisco high school teacher wrote an op-ed claiming Sen. Bernie Sanders �manifests privilege?for wearing his meme-evoking inauguration outfit.
Ingrid Seyer-Ochi, a former UC Berkeley professor, wrote in the San Francisco Chronicle that the Vermont senator�s choice of recycled wool mittens was integrated into her class discussion on US diversity and discrimination.
Initially, on Inauguration Day, Seyer-Ochi said her class talked about the deeper meanings of the historic day ?including �the vulnerability of democracy?and �the power of ritual?and gender.
Sanders, the teacher said, was not even on their radar until he became an instant internet sensation for his mittens and brown parka.
�I puzzled and fumed as an individual as I strove to be my best possible teacher. What did I see? What did I think my students should see??Seyer-Ochi wrote.
�A wealthy, incredibly well-educated and -privileged white man, showing up for perhaps the most important ritual of the decade, in a puffy jacket and huge mittens.?br />
The senator, she said, �manifests privilege, white privilege, male privilege and class privilege, in ways that my students could see and feel.?br />
Seyer-Ochi said in the op-ed that many people without privilege would not be able to dress like Sanders did on such an occasion.
�I don�t know many poor, or working class, or female, or struggling-to-be-taken-seriously folk who would show up at the inauguration of our 46th president dressed like Bernie,?she said.
The op-ed left many people on social media scratching their heads.
�So Bernie represents the terrible privilege of the white & rich because he *reads article* didn�t wear expensive clothes,?one commenter on Twitter wrote.
�Apparently it is privilege to dress comfortably and NOT privilege to wear expensive designer clothing while the media talks about ensembles like it�s a red carpet event,?another Twitter user commented.
A third person on Twitter wrote: �The only �privilege?I see right now is being able to publish a bad faith opinion piece in a newspaper with a paywall.?br />
