You probably shouldn't express that idea, at work, to middle-school children.

Their parents ... may not like it.

she was giving an example of what a white nationalist might say, not expressing her own beliefs. Please god there isn't a teacher dumb enough--shameless enough--to say this kind of garbage to students.

The fact that the context for her remarks is unknown gives me hope.

But then, it's Texas.
