BLM

I saw a list of famous people who have lost their jobs because of something they said. I never heard of most of these people because I am not in tune with popular culture. One man lost his job because someone posted a picture of his hand showing what I used to call the OK sign but is today called a White supremacy sign. The really odd thing is that this man was Black. These things are of little concern to me but how this so called cancel culture effects ordinary people is of concern. One example is that the teachers in this area are required to say Black Lives Matter. Most even have BLM signs in their rooms. This requirement is very specific, for example they must not only say Black Lives Matter but they cannot say All Lives Matter. These teachers willingly give up their right to free speech in order to keep the peace. There was an incident here last year that prompted this silence. One teacher did not go along and the students walked out. This cause a severe disruption at the school so the rest of the teachers dutifully fell in line so as not to cause trouble.
