A Maryland 'equity' office planned to mark 9/11 by hosting a play that it said explores "Islamophobia" — in which the main Arab-American character admits he was "proud" when the Twin Towers fell, and another says America “deserved what it got.”
It advertised the play as exposing "prejudices... in even the most progressive cultural circles."
But the Equity office did not appear to read the play, which it abruptly cancelled: The play ends with a white liberal woman being beaten by an Arab and lamenting her "naievete."
In it, white liberal Emily lectures her husband Amir that Islam does not actually encourage men to beat their wives, as he says it does. She also disagrees with a black woman for being conservative, then sleeps with her husband. When Amir finds out, he brutally beats her.
The SECURITIES & EXCHANGE COMM is set to copy K-12 equity efforts
But whereas K-12 erases discipline disparities by lowering standards (avoiding 'school-to-prison-pipeline') SEC found no disparities, so it will put MORE employees in pipeline to find them
SEC IG found that few employees were disciplined, & no racial disparities. But said "Equity should be present in every facet of the work environment."
It will now lower the threshold of "suspected" misconduct that sends employees to HR
This report, which says that in the Biden admin, orgs must focus not just on equal opportunities but on avoiding “disparate outcomes" from "unconscious bias," was written by an IG, the gov's most independent&nonpartisan entity. Afghanistan IG also removed reports at Biden request
One is from an uber-conservative town where 9/10 officials are Republican. He claimed he "accidentally" signed the survey because "doesn't always read carefully." He actually wrote a whole paragraph agreeing with it.
“Since I attached my name to it and said I’m going to teach it to your kids, it’s causing me a lot of trouble,” he said. “I just want my name removed.”
Does that mean he decided not too teach CRT?
I’m going “to just do what I’ve always been doing, and not call it that,” he said
A government-funded report says Virginia should not have a "celebration" of America's 250th birthday because liberals don't view it as something worth celebrating
(Actually most survey respondents did but the results had to be changed because, uh equity)
The report also concluded that because conservatives were excited about the idea of America's 250th, events should revolve around liberal priorities instead ("because [they're] all-in anyway")
It insists that "diversity" is a "founding ideal" of America, even though this was supposedly based on a survey and not ideology, and almost no one named it was such.
It also says liberals who "generally feel that other countries are better" have the "most inclusive attitudes.”
If you read the books of DiAngelo types, it's clear wokeness is projection by unusually anxious, racist white women who crave mystical protocols to cure their inability to talk to people of other races as peers
Debby Irving, who was hired for 75 speeches on anti-racism this year, lives in a 4% black neighborhood and summers at a home passed down thru her family since the Mayflower era, where there are only 16 black people in 194 miles.
Her WASP upbringing instilled her with social anxiety and the need to master manners for every social setting. Emotionally reserved when around Protestants, say "ma'am" when around Southerners
But when she met a black person, she got "so jumpy" because she didn't know the code
This would have a larger impact on your day-to-day life than almost anything the government does. Biden has said he wants to make grants conditioned on towns 1) allowing apartments and townhouses ANYWHERE and 2) permitting subdividing any lot to fit as many houses as possible.
Like your picket fence, big backyard & wooded views? An apartment could go up next door, and you won't be able to buy an acre elsewhere because a developer will pay more to put five houses on it.
This is outside federal control, but localities will have their arms twisted by $.
