San Francisco School District Drops 'Chief' From Job-Titles, Cites Native-American Concerns

[IAHawk2011]

I think this is stupid, but who cares? Why would anyone waste any energy complaining about this? This has literally zero meaningful impact on anyone’s life.

It is dumb, but it applies to SF school district's job listings, postings and titles, so I have zero f**** to give about something that will never impact me or my family
Love to visit San Fran, great parts of the city but I would never live there, I hate the weather.

I'm just amused by the absurdity of it.
There is no logical stopping point for this nonsense, is there?
It just has to get more and more arcane.

​

chief (adj.)
c. 1300, "highest in rank or power; most important or prominent; supreme, best, placed above the rest," from Old French chief "chief, principal, first" (10c., Modern French chef), from Vulgar Latin *capum (also source of Spanish and Portuguese cabo, Italian capo, Provençal cap), from Latin caput "head," also "leader, guide, chief person; summit; capital city" (from PIE root *kaput- "head").

chief (n.)
c. 1300, "head, leader, captain; the principal or most important part of anything;" from Old French chief "leader, ruler, head" of something, "capital city" (10c., Modern French chef), from Vulgar Latin *capum, from Latin caput "head," also "leader, chief person; summit; capital city" (from PIE root *kaput- "head"). Meaning "head of a clan" is from 1570s; later extended to headmen of Native American tribes (by 1713; William Penn, 1680s, called them kings). Commander-in-chief is attested from 1660s.

You are comical. Pretending that this issue matters.

You’re a dumb**** of the highest order…Chief DF if you will.

So, one vote for book burning. Noted.

I’m more liberal than most, I don’t believe in making books or stopping speech

In my business, everybody calls each other chief, slick or killer.

OPs next post will be a rant about the change from “master bedroom” to “primary bedroom” on all the home and improvement shows.

How did you know I slipped into their agenda?

WHO TOLD YOU!

I love how the elected representatives are focused on the real problems in society.

See Desantis in FL.

I guess why do you care?

If something makes me laugh, does it indicate I ‘care’?

I thought someone else might be likewise amused.
I was correct.

I also failed to anticipate how tribalism would interject itself, and people would become defensive about light shed on an absurdity.
My bad.

So, is the President still referred to as the Commander in Chief?

Commander in Diapers.....for now anyway.

White people who come up with stupid s41t like this actually insult the People.

Be awesome if the LBGTQ said the word “the “ was offensive. Likely bringing the country down.

They could be focused on burning books and banning the word “gay” instead- then you’d support them.

Tell me you didn't read the bill without telling me you didn't read the bill.

Secretary was replaced by Office Manager/Administrator along time ago.

The Biden-Harris cabinet likes this post.

You cons are something.

I think you mean “Democrats get outraged by the strangest things”. Right? I mean…outraged by “Chief” is pretty fvcking stupid. Thought you’d be all over it. Shocker you’re suddenly not pointing out stupid outraged here.
