Hundreds of school districts across the country have taken a pledge to “pronounce student’s names correctly” to avoid the “microaggression” of mispronunciation.
According to ‘My Name, My Identity: A Declaration of Self,’ a national campaign launched in 2015 by the Santa Clara County, Calif. Office of Education (SCCOE) and the National Association for Bilingual Education, a teacher who mispronounces a student’s name can cause that student “anxiety and resentment”.
“Mispronouncing a student’s name truly negates his or her identity, which, in turn, can hinder academic progress,” according to Yee Wan, SCCOE’s director of multilingual education services.
Rita Kohli, assistant professor of education at the University of California at Riverside, says it is a sign of “microagression” when a teacher mispronounces, disregards, or changes a child’s name, because “they are in a sense disregarding the family and culture of the student as well.”
The Washoe County School District in Reno, Nevada is one of 528 school districts across the country that have recently implemented a campaign to “pronounce students’ names correctly” - including names teachers and administrators find difficult or unfamiliar - in order to be sensitive to the ancestral and historical significance of a child’s name.
In a 2014 Cult of Pedagogy blog post, former teacher Jennifer Gonzalez claimed that “mutilating someone’s name is a tiny act of bigotry. Whether you intend to or not, what you’re communicating is this: Your name is different. Foreign. Weird. It’s not worth my time to get it right….
“And before you get all defensive about the bigotry thing, let’s be clear: Discovering that something you do might be construed as bigotry doesn’t mean anyone is calling you a bigot. It’s just an opportunity to grow.”
No one pronounces my name correctly, can I take advantage of being a minority now?

I hate people who insist on pronouncing my name right. I have a polish last name no german can pronounce and i don't give a fuck. But i rage when some faggot wastes my time by insiting on trying it over and over. This happens to fucking often. Its torture.
Jose Collins
Stop naming your kids retarded "new age" shit or spelling it all fucked so they can be unique little snowflakes and maybe people wont have issues with saying their names.
I can only assume this is more because of retarded googles than any other race.

Matthew Hernandez
WRONG! Her name is Lelinea. Now gibs house to little chimp and money to Mordecai Steinberg Esq
I bet if you correct one of them when they mispronounce your name you're invalidating their accent or some shit, also a "microaggression". Just nuke the colleges already.

Jonathan Gonzalez
My name is Dino and it has been pronounced like "Dinosaur" by the majority of people my whole life. I have never once been offended, because it's fucking spelled like "Dinosaur".
Black names are pronounced wrong because they are spelled wrong. Many times they make up their own phonics rules and insist that a name is pronounced a completely different way than they chose to spell it on the birth certificate. People don't pronounce white names correctly because of racism. They pronounce them correctly because you literally cannot mispronounce "Rob" or "Mike" or "Steve".
Grayson Cook
Nobody could pronounce my name throughout all my school years and teachers would always fuss over it asking is this right, is this right? I never fucking cared how they pronounced it and was always annoyed by it.
Colton Martin
What in the fuck is a microaggression?
Chase Wright
What do you do when a name contains a sound completely foreign to English phonology? Go home and practice a pharyngeal trill for two months before you can address the kid?

MacEachern? MacCuiag? Mackechnie?
Anyway no one outside of my family has ever pronounced my surname name correctly on first attempt. It begins with an O but it's not Irish in the way that the O is emphasised like O'Donnel or O'Reilly. Am I oppressed yet?
Brandon Hall

I used to work with little googlets at a law firm for underprivileged inner city youth.
Best Google name i ever heard was Q'kshawn. He went by cuke, as in cucumber, as in cool as a. But it was pronounced cuke-a-shawn.
Hundreds of tashinaka's and lakisha's. But cuke was the most memorable
David Walker
My last name is English/Irish, and is somewhat common, and no one has ever mispronounced it because I live in a country created by my ethnic group. If people can't pronounce your name, it's a good sign that you don't belong and should leave.
Christopher Phillips
Irish should start using names like "Feidhlimidh mac Criomhthainn" again.
Dylan Rogers
>Dino in poland names are often after job of ancestors or attribute like Ryszard (Richard) - A man who is rich Przemysław - A man who have knowledge Marcin - Old Martius, This who belive in Mars (God) Damian - another old.

My name is French. Almost every teacher I had mispronounced it before college except a teacher I had from South Africa that spoke 7 languages, (Spanish/English/Afrikaans/Korean and a bunch of tribal shit from Africa).
I was annoyed, but that's life.
I take great care to try to say other people's names correctly and even ask for help from them when it's appropriate. But I don't expect others to try that hard.
Nolan Ward
Ooh, do i say like 'Sezdah'?
Julian Torres
First day of school in France. The teacher calls each student by name.
- Mustafa Al Ekhzeri? - Present! - Ahmed El Cabul? - Present! - Kadar Sel Ohlmi? - Present! - Mohammed Endahrha? - Present! - Chanhira Amarttayaku? - Present! - Al Ain ben Oit? No answer. - Al Ain ben Oit! Total silence. - For the last time: Al Ain ben Oit! A pale child raise up and says: - I think you're referring to me, but my name is Alain Benoit.

this is one of the things that annoy me about america, you guys take name pronunciations WAY too seriously, i see people all the time on tv and online struggling to pronounce simple names and when you encounter a name that looks even remotely difficult you dont even bother making an attempt. I'm from england and when i went on holiday to america literally no one could say my name. Meanwhile in england no one has had trouble saying it since i was in elementary school, probably cause we dont think about it and just simply say it.
Samuel King

Reno fag here (where they have been talking about this), used to be Washoe County highschool teacher.
I'm all against SJW 'microagression' shit but this is basically right. Whether its a student, or colleague. Being able to pronounce foreign names and difficult names correctly is just part of being a professional. When you butcher someones name, you need to point it out. You need to have enough interpersonal charisma to be able to ask someone to help you pronounce their name correctly. Every time you fuck up, point it out. I made a game in an AP chem class I taught that each time I incorrectly pronounced a name, the victim gets +1 on the next quiz. It made it funny, and it made it so I barely ever screwed up because I don't want to give out free points.
Being a real teacher and a professional means when you address a black student whos name is 'Ssents' (pronounced ESSENCE), yes thats two consecutive S, not shitting you -- you get it right even if it's clearly retarded.

How the fuck can these people act offended when normal people can't pronounce their ridiculous meme names that don't have even have origins african languages, when they themselves fuck up the name of the majority religion of their home country?

I've noticed that most niggers name their kids with very Roman-language inspired names. Just listen: >JaMarcus =Je (suis) Marcus (Mark, interestingly enough, dervies from the Latin Mart-kos, which means "consecrated from the God of Mars", so Mark means "God of War", or "to be warlike", which we know niggers are.) >LaShanda = L'Shanda (maybe Shanda is a nigger-fied version of Shauna (This name is just the Irish female version of the Hebrew Yohanan, which means "Graced by Yah(Weh)", or "Yah(Weh) is Gracious".) >Delequandycus = Del (I really have no idea) ycus (I suspect this is either a nigger-fied form of typical Greek name endings (from the way its pronounced), or a nigger-fied form of typical Latin name endings)
I once saw a nig last name that was a nigger-fied version of a Welsh last name (I forgot what it was, though, but it was ridiculously butchered.)
This being said, it would be hilarious if nig names were not "tributes to their heritage" (because we all know not a single one of them actually speaks an african language), but instead butchered white names taken through cultural osmosis. add this to the list of cultural appropriation that the uppity nigs do.

Jesus it's like they're magical beings and fucking up their name of power warps and weakens them.
This is some pen and paper RPG setting shit.

Pretty sure every teacher, boss etc. higher-up has at least once pronounced or write my name wrong. Funny thing is it is not even that difficult - my name is Akseli and it always turned into Aleksi. With english names this'd be comparable to mix Axel and Alex.
Always gives me a chuckle though when my name is pronounced wrong, I let out little "ahem" and then said person has that little two second blackout and rushes to correct it. I dont blame them my name is not that common.

> mispronunciation is a micro aggression > mispronunciation destroys one's sense of self
I wonder what it's like to be so weak that your entire sense of self can be obliterated with one mispronunciation... fucking what?

How can a name be a "declaration of self" when it's given by your parents?
Caleb Rivera
and usually it's just a generic name like tom or john. and with niggers they just come up with one or they choose one but dont know what it means, but all they care about is that its "ghetto ratchet hood nigga"

Ethan Cox
Did he have a middle name?
Luis Peterson
"de le quan dyke us" as you can see, this comes from a rich french heritage.
"of the ???? lesbian *nous"
Samuel Smith
blacks usually forget about the middle name OR it's a combination of the mothers maiden name and the (((fathers))) last name
example: Shaniqua Jamal-Harrison

>Discovering that something you do might be construed as bigotry doesn’t mean anyone is calling you a bigot. It’s just an opportunity to grow. I fucking hate this argument. It's basically just an excuse to be a condescending cunt-rag to people and cover it up as "social justice"

Given how Germany is a nigger country now, so yes you're oppressed

So what happens to public schools when nobody wants to be a teacher because of bullshit like this?
Anthony Scott

Mason Morgan
This is bullshit. I once had a student named Orange (Oh-ron-gee). How the fuck are we supposed to know how to pronounce these stupid fucking names?
Adrian Gutierrez
It's almost like pronouncing names from unfamiliar cultures with different languages and understandings of phonetics along with retarded-ass nigger names might be difficult for your average middle-school teacher.
Christopher Phillips
>I once saw a nig last name that was a nigger-fied version of a Welsh last name (I forgot what it was, though, but it was ridiculously butchered.) People don't rreally choose their last names. So you said their last name was niggerfied, you can blame a white guy for that.
Gavin Garcia
I have no idea why Americans are incapable of pronouncing "y" as in "building"

its the eventuality of 1st world prestige
Why work hard and make a nice home out of your nation, when you can just move to an already good one?
Find enough of the downtrodden and convince the clueless 1st worlders you need stuff more than them
Jackson Gomez
Nice proxy, faggot.
Gavin Nelson
Same. Ristau. Pronounced ris-toe but people say rist-ow.
