I'm sick of cacs

Stay strong for the hard times that will come y'all.

 

[2 Up 2 Down]

That POS Youngkin and other conservatives in this state are a bunch of do-nothings whose sole purpose and platform revolves around stupid culture war bs and opposing anything Left just because

 

[Tair]

For emphasis. Stupid and short-sighted Coli Jamars expect politicians to crash out over something they doesn't go over electorally and will have billionaire money backing its destruction from day one. Always talmbout checkers vs chess but these dudes want tic tac toe.

Tic-tac-toe is far too advanced for those numbskulls.

Pay attention idiots.

When you ask “where is the black only legislation, where are the black only programs, where are the black only tangibles” this is why people trying to help don’t push for that. Because it’s an easy target to go after. A program that 90% benefits black people but is written in language for everyone is the right move to make.

Black women can’t even say they want to give their own money to other black women without lawsuits and courts shutting that down.

But somehow a politician is supposed to run on a platform of the government a bunch of money to black people?

We been seeing this for a couple years now and it's clear that there are enough republican judges in place to let this stuff keep sizzling until the Supreme Court takes up a case and really makes it hot. Regardless I think this is an indictment of the Coli "tangibles' argument. All this performative "give xyz to black students/women/men/etc" stuff is about to be phased out. The logical thing to do is simply put people in position to ensure black people are heavily selected for loans, subsidies, education help, etc. It won't make the headlines, Coli militants won't know about it but that's clearly a better idea than saying "we're only giving this to black people" and getting destroyed in court.

These idiots on here and elsewhere on the internet are attracted to self-destruction. They're the loudest ones in the room saying the absolute dumbest things and can't comprehend the savviness needed to navigate these legal & political minefield.

Lol no.....they cutting this BSAP shyt to appease the latinos who been hating

 

[MustafaSTL]

This is why "and others" is put into legislation and programs to help Black people.

Exactly. The problem is that Democrats suck at the messaging with this. You see black people running with the “and others” and think this is just another thing that doesn’t help black people. Without knowing this is so that any program/legislative bill isn’t immediately challenged in the courts and never comes to fruition.

Parents Defending Education is a conservative 501(c)(3) non-profit organization based out of Virginia. They self-identify as "a national grassroots organization working to reclaim our schools from activists promoting harmful agendas. Through network and coalition building, investigative reporting, litigation, and engagement on local, state, and national policies, we are fighting indoctrination in the classroom-- and for the restoration of a healthy non-political education for our kids" according to the PDE website.[1] While they identify as a grassroots effort, their connection to the Koch network and conservative dark money affiliates has some opponents labeling them as "astroturf"-- "activism manufactured by powerful interests to look like grassroots organizing".[2] They support curricula that include "rigorous instruction in history, civics, literature, math, the sciences, and the ideas and values that enrich our country". They aim to discontinue the inclusion of curricula with "emphasis on students' group identities: race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation and gender".[3]

Parents Defending Education is part of a growing movement to privatize public school management. Truthout reported PDE President Nikki Neilly said in a podcast produced by DonorsTrust that "introducing competition to public education could be an exploitable 'pressure point'." Also according to Truthout, the school choice movement is "rooted in efforts to keep schools racially segregated, and still today these programs in effect maintain segregation by race, class and disability".[4]

Parents Defending Education's website includes information about filing a Freedom of Information Act Request, with the page's tagline reading, "sunshine is the best disinfectant!".[5] The website also provides a resolution template for school board's to prohibit the teaching of CRT.[6]

PDE opposes the factual teaching of racism in K-12 Schools,[7] teacher's unions,[8] school admissions processes that consider or acknowledge race,[9] and any discussion of gender identity or sexuality in schools.

PDE Fights to Prevent the Factual Teaching of Racism in Schools​

PDE opposes the factual teaching of racism in schools by filing complaints against school districts with the US Department of Education. In one such complaint against Columbus City Schools in Columbus, Ohio they argue that in acknowledging systemic racism's permeative existence, the school district admits to being racist itself. They request a federal investigation on the grounds of violating the Civil Rights Act.[14] They have filed similar complaints against school districts across the country.

PDE's Fight against Affinity Groups​

In an article titled "Why anti-racism should be resisted", former Vice President of Strategy and Investigations Asra Nomani equates affinity groups in schools to the segregation of Jim Crow laws.[36] Parents Defending Education filed a lawsuit against Wellesley Public Schools, "alleging the district has discriminated against white students by creating affinity groups for communities of color".[37] Despite evidence that affinity groups are beneficial in the educational setting,[38] the lawsuit ended in a settlement agreement, with Wellesley Public School's discontinuing their policies prohibiting students from joining affinity groups in which they do not belong.

PDE President Nicole Neily is closely affiliated with the Koch network, having worked for the Franklin News Foundation and the Cato Institute, FreedomWorks, serving as a Koch fellow for the Competitive Enterprise Institute and the Center for Financial Privacy and Human Rights, and serving as a board member for Young Voices and Young Americans for Liberty.[42]

Due to its close ties to the Koch network, PDE has been deemed "astroturf" by many activists for its manufactured grassroots appearance.[43] PDE provides a map on its website to show viewers its network of "grassroots" organizations, but as author Maurice Cunningham reports, "Two organizations dominate the 'grassroots' network: state affiliates of No Left Turn in Education and Moms for Liberty." As of April 2021, neither has obtained non-profit status from the IRS, and Cunningham writes, "Both are put up jobs to populate PDE's map and give the appearance of local support. PDE provides links to the Facebook or websites of their "members" so we can see that most of these groups were formed in March or February 2021, rarely earlier. It's a set up."

Sure. All of these racist white-led groups are doing this on behalf Latinos.

Normal functioning adults understand this.

It’s the tactic groupies who only believe this fairy tale. Tariq knows it too but he’s paid to push misinformation & dumb down the public

 

[sportscribe]

I honestly wish Tariq and his cohorts would focus on matters like this instead of trying to disenfranchise minority black groups that have minimal sway on public policy in the US.
