I'm sure that is the academic intent. It certainly doesn't turn out that way outside of the classroom. it is getting so one can't even make a simple statement of fact that isn't parsed through your 'identity'. The whole of identity politics is totally an us vs them and it's creating more right wing nuts because you can no longer be a moderate white male. Men that I previously thought moderate and kind now want to give sjw's the enemy they have created. How do you fix that? Certainly not by ignoring the question.

How would you suggest dealing with those who use the cps system as a vehicle for harassment. I am not in your country (Canadian) and the situation is resolved now but I good friend of mine who has a physical disability had a number of visits that were absolutely horrific for her due to a nasty neighbour. She was a single mom and lower income I feel that because she fit the demographic of people they normally deal with she got more attention than someone in a different situation would. I understand that they were doing their job. I remember going over with my wife and spending the day cleaning her apartment spotless because the person she was dealing with didn't like her housekeeping. Her house was far from filthy. She had recently had back surgery. So yeah I didn't see the "good work" you speak of. It was disrespectful, frightening and made her feel like a failure at a time where she was very vulnerable. It was a good six months of her living every day in fear for no reason. Why aren't the source of complaints recorded and taken into account? My wife and I became a lot more involved after that and things have calmed down. I will never forgive the harm that was done and I don't believe it was all for the best. The requests made were petty and I believe that after interviews were conducted and it was concluded that the children were fine that should have been the end of it. How is using cps as a tool of harassment dealt with. Why isn't there more sensitivity. How do you feel about having more oversight given the power you have? Much like the police I would never engage your kind without a lawyer. I would not engage these services even if we needed help because I don't believe it would be given. People's prejudices racial, economic or otherwise get blown out of proportion when they are asked to sit in judgement over others the fact that they are overworked an not paid well doesn't help. end rant tl;dr I hold a very dim view of what you do. I believe there should be ways people who are vulnerable economically to protect themselves from having to go through an investigation if it isn't warranted.

I hear that thanks for being so respectful
