🙈 The Governing Board at Paloma College in San Diego is pushing for a DEI reform with:
1. Unconstitutional preferences: black space, diverse hiring of black faculty, extra support for “LatinX/ESL/undocumented” students.
2. Ethnic studies requirement.
3. Anti-racism foundation. ImageImageImage
2/ CRT puritans want to distance their academic altar from its real-life applications. But look at the mushrooming DEI/racial equity/anti-racism craze--- can you honestly say that ideas have no consequences?!
Doesn't the fist in the call to action button remind you of this⬇️⬇️? Image
3/ 👀 at the "New Instructional Projects" slide--- 10 ethnic studies courses, land acknowledgment, and gender pronoun project?! Is this how California wants to invest part of the $48.7 billion of COVID windfall earmarked for higher ed? Taxpayers need to know! @FreeBlckThought
4/In the professional development area, Palomar announced that it's retaining award-winning faculty--Dr. Hossna Sadat Ahadi. For your edification, she received the 2021 Stanback-Stroud Diversity Award. Her twitter profile reads: An educator, activist, womanist... @ConceptualJames

A parent challenges anti-racism teaching, to which the school responds with links to "understand white supremacy," with recycled, debunked cultish claims as the following:
Look at this smorgasbord of fancy words that means nothing when put together. White supremacy is linked to all the other oppressions, all intersected in a toxic brew, an addiction that impacts all uniquely and collectively.

Well, I'm definitely infected. Come preach AA to me.
So to recap, a public school district in California refers concerned parents (worried about indoctrination &CRT) to a radical site on white supremacy, spewing incendiary hogwash. Are the parents supposed to believe the views 👆&👇and 🤐? @_BarringtonII @grossmanhannah @cwtremo

So typical of the mainstream to cast doubt & stir up division by slashing the “far right, white supremacy” label on anything/anyone that dissents.

An anti-woke civics framework sounds like a good idea. 🧐

2/ As a steering committee member of American Birthright, I am proud to promote this superb set of K-12 history, social studies & civics standards. There is nothing wrong with teaching our children the birthright of liberty, or individualism, religious freedom, self-government.
3/In fact, with the constant drumbeat for revisionist history, social justice, service learning, anti-racism, students and schools need superior alternatives. If we’re so “prideful” about appropriating June, how about teaching some real pride about the same country we call home?

My latest:

@adwooldridge is correct in arguing that despite its flaws, meritocracy remains the best system for organizing human societies...Meritocracy is not a panacea, but it is the most successful vehicle for progress.

@adwooldridge 2/Debunking meritocracy has become a ritualistic exercise in trendy equity training sessions. Characteristics such as hard work, personal initiative, and grit are only myths and vehicles of privilege that perpetuate structural inequities.
@adwooldridge 3/The central issue with Sandel’s perception of merit is that it relies on a false dichotomy between insurmountable, external obstacles and genetically determined, internal abilities. This absolute definition of merit leaves no room for other consequential ingredients such as...

Parents, are you comfortable with your young child(ren) answering these questions in an "equity survey"?

Doesn't this look like grooming of neo-racists to you?
@GabsClark5 @FreeBlckThought @UTLAUncensored @ConceptualJames @Lance4CASuper @CBHeresy @TheTonus @Nicoletta0602 2/This survey is intended for kids in 3rd thru. 5th grades. The questions are basically pseudoscientific. What is the school going to do if more have friends who look like them??? Force them into implicit bias trainings so that they can make friends "who look different"?

🔥🧵 Woke racism in action!
San Dieguito UHSD did a mandatory DEI training for its board. A question was asked "Why do Asian kids do well in schools?" To which the superintendent replied: "people who're able to make the journey to America are wealthy." tinyurl.com/deiasian
2/. During the training, Superintendent Cheryl James-Ward floated this wild theory that Asian kids in her area are mostly from China and they possess emotional capital, financial capital... to outperform others. Your thoughts? @ConceptualJames @AsraNomani @XVanFleet
3/Dr. James-Ward continued: "a large influx of Chinese families move in, sight unseen, into our homes, our community... the whole family comes, grandparents and parents and the grandparents are there to support kids at home." What are you, lady, a neighborhood "Chinese" watch?

True story:
A 1st grader drew a pic of kids holding 🙌 & wrote All Live Matters on it, triggering her “classmate of color.” Classmates’ parents lodged a complaint & the incident got escalated & the little girl was made to apologize.
What happened? @_BarringtonII @ConceptualJames
2/Surprisingly, the little girl’s parents were not informed of this “racist incident.” They found out after being confronted by the parents of the triggered classmate for their alleged white supremacy. A little girl was shamed & scapegoated to coddle woke fragility & appease BLM
3/ Worse, the triggered classmate is a pawn in an evil political agenda. The parents are so wrapped in anti-racist thinking that their child is now tainted w. a race-based worldview. Both children’s innocence was damaged. @Moms4Liberty
