“We are going to let the administration know how unconscious its actions regarding the secretaries are!” they said. “They are abusing workers! We must stand up for the support staff. Let’s get together and plot out strategy!”
They plotted the strategy, assigned roles, developed an argument. Came to the meeting and started the conversation.
“I understand that tensions are high,” said the administrator. “With everything that is going on, ICE arrests tearing our community. Of course, we are all upset.”
For the next hour, everybody expressed themselves passionately about the horrors of ICE. Secretaries were not mentioned again.
This happened countless times before but nobody learned anything. Except for the administrators.
