Advocates for so-called "equity based" grading practices, which seek to raise the grade point averages of black students and lower scores of higher-achieving Asian, white and Hispanic ones, say new grading criteria are necessary to further school districts' mission of DEIJ, or "Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Justice."

That's an interesting take. I've heard of EDI, but it seems like they threw "Justice" in there as well. It's not enough to be equal to, but now they must be "more than". I guess that was always the goal.

white people, much like Asians, will simply work harder and succeed despite the intentional system discrimination and further yet excel amongst their peers.

In a closed system, perhaps. A student could do everything right, but still get a B because the teacher didn't want a White kid to get a good grade. Then they'll apply to college and be passed over for a black kid who got a B because of their skin color. Next, the workforce - the system repeats again.

The answer is to learn and work outside the system.

Nice. Reminds me of when my grandpa would spoil me when I was really little. My mom told him not to give me sugar, but he'd put me on his lap and give me a couple of candies anyway.

Grandpas are the best.

Why should they have to leave their homes? Send the wife and kids away, sure, but they shouldn't let a mob intimidate them from their homes.

I thought Asians were lactose intolerant as well.

That seems like an easily scale-able fence. There are even foot holds, just climb it like a ladder.

He was criticized for saying CA should rake their forests because most people thought he meant the common garden rake... but he was talking about using heavy machinery like this https://climatefeedback.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Postphoto.jpg

It's not even good anymore. They used to have a lot of content, but now every single channel is launching their own shitty streaming platform and taking their content with them.

I would cancel it, but I'm using someone else's account.

I'm not sure really... I remember reading an article where they did a microscopic look at statues to recreate what they would have looked like.

Artists of the Renaissance were inspired by Roman sculptures and tried to imitate the white marble form, not knowing that it was originally painted.

Oh. They used to be painted, but that wore off.

My friend said, the worst part about liberals is that they're hypocrites. I said.. I don't think that's the worst part... to me the first part would be the raping, and then the second would be the drugging.

I'm not convinced this isn't staged. The photo where he left the White House was obviously staged, so who's to say he's in Poland?

Bill Gates is the largest farm owner in the United States. He's probably doing A-OK.

Or maybe he's letting the farm go to dirt, who knows what his agenda is.

Right. Also "At least 100,000 restaurants were closed". There are over 1 million restaurants in America.

US debt has never affected me personally. Maybe in some nebulous ways, but nothing I can think about.

Lower taxes, higher employment, and cheaper gas all made me more prosperous during the Trump era.

This whole 'conflict' is a black hole. I have no idea what's going on and I'm not fully convinced there's a war on.

The fuck we're united.

I honestly don't give a shit if Russia invades or annexes Ukraine. Let the Ukrainians figure it out.

Is this about the Midterms? Because I guarantee no one will see this as a legitimate war or threat.

US citizens aren't free. If 20% of your income goes to the federal government, you're a serf.
