We had a bunch of junior high schools in our area named after various Native American tribes and places.
HAD.
Just 15yrs ago the people that lived here could tell you the history behind some of the names of these schools and about the tribes the names came from.
Now they're all named things like "(City Name) Junior High"
And now the history of these native people are completely forgotten and nobody gives AF - the young ones going to the schools have no IDEA the history behind the lands the schools sit on. And it's certainly not taught either.
All decided by committee decree. No vote. No community survey. In the name of "ending racism" ...
The high school I went to was 90% white with a few Asians and literally 3 black kids. 2 stereotypical gangster trouble making football kids and 1 Ethiopian with an unpronounceable name (talk about token kids 🤣) -- there were more a few years ago when kids could transfer to any school in the area, but they stopped that too to in the name of "ending racism against poor area schools"
Anti-racists are more racist than actual racists these days. It's fucking insane.
wow! Yes they are the antithesis of what they say. Same is true of climate change you know. The new GOP house bill to get rid of the IRS and have a 30% tax on what is purchased will encourage people to buy less things in general - if less things are made then there is less CO2 being produced (whether or not you believe that's actually significant enough to effect the world is another point) They point I am making is that everything they do works against their own supposed points

Seems to me the demand for racism far outpaces the supply.
