Political - Huffington Post slanders teacher without adequate evidence, attacks her career.

in #politics6 years ago (edited)

Let's discuss some lies from Huffington Post:

Volitich also agreed with her guest’s assertion that more white supremacists need to infiltrate public schools and become teachers. “They don’t have to be vocal about their views, but get in there!” her guest said. “Be more covert and just start taking over those places.


I listened to the clip from the podcast they used to jump to this conclusion. It is attached in their article. Note that HuffPo falsely implied the conversation was regarding "White Supremacists," then applied their own implication to the quote: “They don’t have to be vocal about their views, but get in there!”
In reality, the two women were discussing the prevalence of liberals (and subsequent absence of conservatives) in teaching positions. It is irrational to suggest that a person with conservative views is a "White Supremacist." The "White Supremacist" label in this context is propaganda to discourage people from identifying with conservative views.

The women then discussed how there are two sides to every story, and suggested that the children have a right to hear both sides of any story regarding current events and historical events. One of the women expressed how the approach to let children make their own conclusions based on hearing two sides to every story is discouraged in the school system. HuffPo seems to find it threatening that she believes in an open-minded lesson that gives children the opportunity to think critically for themselves (as opposed to being spoon-fed an opinion). Essentially, they are trying to vilify this woman for encouraging open discussion. What rational person would consider a statement about delivering an "unbiased" lesson to children that involves hearing both sides as an expression of "White Supremacy?" The term "White Supremacy" is not used once in the podcast clip.

Then HuffPo used something as random as a retweet of an announcement from Mark Collett that David Duke will be appearing on his show to suggest she praises David Duke. It's like they pretended they could get inside her head and determine how she feels about a person based on a "retweet."

See for yourself, this is what HuffPo said:

She has repeatedly praised, defended and retweeted neo-Nazis and white supremacists including David Duke, Arthur Jones, Patrick Casey, Mark Collett and Mike Peinovich, aka Mike Enoch.


Here is what they used as proof of "praise"...

It's sad I have to explain this plainly, but:

"retweeting" something does NOT imply you have injected everything that person stands for into your brain cells.

Only a simple-minded person would think that way. As you can see, she added NO COMMENTARY, so suggesting it is proof of "praise" is an absurd LIE.
Many people retweet statements that they disagree with, and many retweet people they disagree with.

If you think people should only listen to or speak with people they 100% agree with on every issue in life, it will be a lonely world for all. And that type of "all-or-nothing" thinking perpetuates the hatred these "anti-hate" obsessives claim to be against. "Live and let live" is so important for a happy, healthy society. RESPECT the differences of your neighbors as long as they respect yours. Thoughts are NOT harmful, free speech is NOT harmful, OPPRESSION IS harmful.

Getting back to their assumptions about the retweet: Huffpo could have asked her questions about her tweets if they were confused, but instead they jumped to conclusions, vilified her and attacked her career. A person has the freedom to choose not to listen to someone they disagree with, that is their prerogative, but to vilify someone else for wanting to hear or consider ALL SIDES of any argument before JUMPING TO CONCLUSIONS is an expression of a mental disease.
It is against science and LOGIC to behave or react solely on emotions and not consider all facts and outcomes when making decisions about anything or anyone, including this woman.

The authors at HuffPo are banking on fools who read headlines and don't do their own research. Anyway, this is going to be an increasing problem as the thought police MSM increase in propaganda. Your career is under threat if you don't subscribe to their views. And with all their money, they will do what they can to silence you. From what I can tell, this woman didn't have a huge following and they attacked her into oblivion anyway. They made an example out of her to frighten others into silence. Now more than ever, those who still value free speech need to find methods to become self-reliant, as it is becoming more important than ever to speak up if you disagree with the main narrative being shoved down our throats, and stay true to logic to prevent idiots from paving your future for you (and your family) and taking away your liberties.

There's much more I can touch upon, but this got a bit lengthy. You can see for yourself what they say here, and please listen to the actual podcast they link to see how they have taken it out of context and lied to their readers.

Have any thoughts or comments? I'm always happy to discuss and hear opinions!
