Unless she closed out her fb, which no one has here has said if they know her or saw it, it would have to be someone she knows that said something.
Sounds like someone who isn’t happy she is on the board as has she made remarks before this giving her opinion on things?
I don’t know this woman IRL, nor do I live in her district, and yet I recognized her name immediately. She is all over social media and extremely vocal in local mom groups. I really don’t understand why someone in her position would think it is appropriate to post her political views for all to see.
Wow. I do not live in her district either but Sachem has a reputation for being racist and this does not help.
It does? How so? 
*gestures broadly to long island*
the comments on the petition?
knowing people who live in sachem district who are active in the community groups?
knowing people who grew up in sachem?
social media?
link
erase racism facts about LI school inequity
i mean theres just so much.
It always floors me when people pretend LI isn't a hotbed of racism.
As for this woman, I agree with you. She should be booted immediately.

From what I see in post, is she supports equality and is against a child being killed for which there doesn't seem to be much outrage for. She believes there are bad people in a good organization. Maybe I'm missing something but I don't see anything wrong with what she wrote. Now, if she should have wrote it in the first place, that's another issue. I won't debate that since I don't know much about this person. However I don't think it's right to call another poster a POS for their beliefs. I thought we were all grown ups, but again, maybe I'm missing something.
Completely agree, you cant post anything anymore . Someone will always find something offensive about it.
Educators are not exempt. Educators need to hold themselves to better standards. Educators are in charge of teaching, educating, and shaping childrens lives. Educators need to be retrained with antibas, antiracist training. Just like police. If you're an educator and you ignorantly pass off racism and hate under the guise of "my opinion" you are a sorry @ss eductaor. Do better people. The times are changing. Black children are not safe with people like this sitting on the BOE, and they are not safe in classrooms with educators on this very board splitting hairs about what they (white people) think is racist.
My opinion of "teachers" is changing very quickly in all this mess. Where are the "good" ones?

I handle most of the hiring for my school. Sigh.
Anti racist training is obviously imperative but ultimately the teachers have to be receptive to it otherwise it's useless.
We've had so many trainings with many different organizations and I've witnessed it go in one ear and out the other multiple times.
I'm more and more convinced building an anti racist school happens at the interview table. We've revised our questions this year and based on some things I've learned in some of my own trainings I want to revise them again.
A year or so ago I would have said that educators were just like any other professionals - some are open to learning, some aren't. I'm seeing some change, though. There is some good work being done in NYC to recruit and train antiracist teachers and to ensure PD is delivered through this lens. I won't say more because this is a public board, but my school has taken this very seriously and I'm encouraged. (I'm in Brooklyn.)
It's on my radar to see what my home district is doing on this topic.

but you easily stood up for this woman with your silence and complicity in a system that benefits you right? good teachers let bad teachers, administrators and BOE members say whatever they want in silence and say "oh well its an opinion." or "well i would never say that." and people like this meredith woman are free to spew hate and sit on a boe.
informed opinions are one thing. erroneous, hate-charged statements are quite another. if an educator thinks they can make these kinds of statements and school will be safe for Black children they are wrong. haven't we seen the kinds of classwork and homework coming from white teachers and whats going in these diversity-lacking districts?

To protect my job, no I would never respond to anything political. That does not make me a racist, or anti BLM. It is not appropriate for a teacher to get involved in anything political on social media- a teacher near me in Nassau county got in serious trouble for speaking out about the George Floyd situation- and she was speaking in support of the BLM movement.
You never know how someone will interpret what you say, be in a parent, another teacher, administrator, etc.

Her comment was racist. Here's why:
White people don't get to police anti racist movements. "Well I would support them if..." "I don't support them because [names incident]." People who say those things are putting the onus on black people to comport themselves in a certain way before they will support change. It's fake allyship extortion and it's bullshiit.
Her claim that the movement "allows people to be murdered" is holding an entire movement responsible for the actions of a person who at this point (unless I missed something) is not even known. I usually go to one of the breast cancer walks out east every year. If someone heaven forbid opened fire along the walk and killed someone, do we all stop donating to breast cancer research?
To go with the above, "allows people" holds an implication that she disapproves of the protests. The article mentions illegal barriers or something. Part of being antiracist means sitting with discomfort. Not comfortable with road blockages, barriers, etc.? Oh well. Suck it up. Some people are fighting to change systems that have caused hundreds of years of trauma and damage. You can handle a backup on South Oyster Bay Road. (I'm talking about the protest. Not the murder. Obviously that should spark more than discomfort.) Black lives are more important than white comfort. All the "but but but"s and "what about...." just derail the conversation. I'm willing to sit with the discomfort of the backlash I will get from this post because other things are more important.
She centered herself. "I think blah blah blah...." "I don't support blah blah blah." She's just amplifying a white racist voice. No one needs to hear that.
BLM is about much more than police reform. BLM is the movement. Are there assholes in the movement? Sure. But if you look at the work that they are doing and advocating for, the goals they want to accomplish, and the systems they want to change, and you go "I don't approve", yes, you're a racist.
There's probably more but I need to run. And honestly, other people have said this stuff much better than me. Please see the many resources out there for more info.
Racism is a white person's problem to solve. We ALL grew up in a racist society and have internalized racist social norms even just subconsciously. That doesn't make us bad people. What makes us bad people is when we don't want to try to be better.
I doubt any of the above will change any minds but it was worth writing even if it makes one person stop and think a little. And if it doesn't, maybe it would help someone feel seen.

False. You can't post RACIST or homophobic remarks anymore. SOCIETY will be "offended". It it BEYOND being "offended" and if you do not see that, then you might be part of the problem.

You never know how someone will interpret what you say, be in a parent, another teacher, administrator, etc.
My previous comments (that Diane did no quote but were part of the conversation) were in regards to racial equity, bias training, and protecting racist teachers by not speaking up within the education system, not on social media.
ETA: "Educators are not exempt. Educators need to hold themselves to better standards. Educators are in charge of teaching, educating, and shaping childrens lives. Educators need to be retrained with antibas, antiracist training. Just like police. If you're an educator and you ignorantly pass off racism and hate under the guise of "my opinion" you are a sorry @ss eductaor. Do better people. The times are changing.

Please follow the conversation before jumping in with what you would do in one very specific instance on social media. I get it.

As a semi-public figure, she should know better than to post something inflammatory especially during these volatile times. But some have stated her comments were "racist" as if they are stating a fact. It is subjective. Clearly not everyone on this thread thinks it was racist.

Fine its subjective but there are enough people on this board that think its racist, therefore it shouldn't be posted on her FB or any social media given her position within the school system.

She also posted a public “sorry, not sorry” in which she truly showed how absolutely uninformed, ignorant, and unconsciously racist she truly is. As a parent in the district, I hope the BOE does the right thing. Her vitriol is not needed.

What is so hard to comprehend? Its subjective because some believe that its racist and some do not? Since some find it to be racist then as a member of the school district she shoukd have never posted her comments or beliefs on the matter on social media. Its really not that hard to understand.
I never said this board was the end all be all. Obviously people out in the real world find it to be racist or the campaign to have her removed wouldn't have been started and we wouldn't be having this conversation.
Just because you don't think its an issue doesn't mean its okay. She holds a public position in the education system, she should know better to not voice her opinions publicly on sensitive topics that could be deemed racist.
Did you happen to see that couple on the news that got arrested for painting over that Black Lives Matter mural and yet here you have a school official speaking out against the same group and you think its ok?
