SF Teacher: Bernie Sanders 'Manifests Privilege' For Inauguration Day Outfit

According to an op-ed written by a high school teacher in San Francisco, Sen. Bernie Sanders exhibited “white privilege” at Joe Biden’s inauguration for wearing mittens and an oversized coat throughout the ceremony.

“I puzzled and fumed as an individual as I strove to be my best possible teacher. What did I see? What did I think my students should see?” wrote Ingrid Seyer-Ochi, the teacher. “A wealthy, incredibly well-educated and privileged white man, showing up for perhaps the most important ritual of the decade, in a puffy jacket and huge mittens.”

According to a San Francisco newspaper editorial, Bernie Sanders mittens & jacket at the Biden inauguration “oozed white privilege.” Really. https://t.co/myklhASZes

According to Seyer-Ochi, Sanders exposed his “privilege, white privilege, male privilege and class privilege, in ways that my students could see and feel.”

"Sen. Sanders is no white supremacist insurrectionist. But he manifests privilege, white privilege, male privilege and class privilege, in ways that my students could see and feel." https://t.co/uyAGMpAuR9

“I don’t know many poor, or working class, or female, or struggling-to-be-taken-seriously folk who would show up at the inauguration of our 46th president dressed like Bernie,” she added.
