I am in graduate school and earning my Masters in Education with a speciality in literacy. I am mostly online but have one in-person class a week. In this class there are two women who I feel like are bullying me. It’s not in a way where they are making fun of the way I look or anything, but they are constantly snapping at me if I say something/ask a question and criticize my work unnecessarily. Some examples, I was presenting a project and they were snickering together. One of them, I’ll call her P, raises her hand and legit says “this isn’t new information… everyone knows this already.” The professor kind of eyed her but didn’t say anything. Another time we were doing a large class poll over an administrative issue and the other woman, I’ll call her E, says to me “why do you always vote against the grain? Are you trying to be unique or just ignorant?” I was shocked because the issue was not even controversial. These two are constantly saying something to me, like they want to fight with me. They stare at me. They snicker at me. We are all adults in our 30s and I feel so belittled and I hate going to class because of them. On our class forum, they typically respond to any question or statement I have with something snarky or mean. I asked a simple question about a bullet point in our syllabus once and P responded “isn’t your speciality literacy?” implying that I can’t read or something. Both of them are these performative woke type of white women who are constantly implying that white teachers are all inherently racist. I teach in a majority black school and E has told me I must feel like a white savior because of it. I was like, that’s just where I was hired and I enjoy my job. She rolled her eyes and was like “sure you do”. I have gone to the professor and she told me basically to suck it up and that the semester is almost over. I just feel like I’m back in middle school being bullied by mean girls. I can’t say anything in class without one of them saying something mean to me.
