  2. Principle 2:
    I will respect the privacy and dignity of others and will not engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech.
    The statement does not engage in direct harassment or hate speech, but the use of provocative language could indirectly affect the dignity of those involved in the educational system. [-1]
  3. Principle 3:
    I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.
    The statement does not promote understanding, empathy, or compassion, as it uses language that could polarize rather than foster dialogue. [-1]
  4. Principle 4:
    I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
    The statement does not engage in constructive criticism or dialogue, as it uses a term that could be seen as a personal attack on the educators involved. [-1]
  5. Principle 7:
    I will uphold the principles of free speech and use my platform responsibly and with integrity.
    The statement is part of a broader critique of CRT and DEI, which is a legitimate exercise of free speech, but the responsibility and integrity of the platform could be questioned due to the inflammatory language used.
