The one girl is my eldest, and I'm very proud of her for stepping up to add a different perspective. She hasn't had as much "woke" instruction, but she HAS the u issue perspective of someone who was homeschooled, public schooled, and now back to homeschool. 1/
She can speak to the degradation of academics that made ALL these ideas possible, by crippling students intellectually and emotionally. How can such students defend their own minds?! /END

Dear New Jersey: you're in trouble (and so are we all, because this is spreading). @DrKarlynB remember the commenter yesterday who said this wasn't in NJ yet? Oh but it is, with a vengeance. Welcome to Math Appreciation, as written by the Handicapper General (I presume) 1/ ImageImage
Notice they're only going with "lived experiences" of people on the bottom of the achievement scale (teachers too). It's one-sided. 2/ ImageImageImageImage
Once again, they're anti-tracking, but love love love sorting kids by race and achievement to justify denying the achievers access to pathways to succeed. 3/ ImageImageImage

Why did you have kids? Serious question, not being snide/coy or antagonistic. I want honest answers. To be fair, here are mine, raw and real:
* Had a crap childhood, wanted to be the parent I didn't have
* Felt ripped off by my "education," wanted to provide what I didn't have 1/
* Did the math, saw decent, smart, thoughtful people with sound, rational principles and values, were not reproducing, worried a bit about my own old age
* Believed in the value of the nuclear family
* Was curious/wanted to meet and get to know them 2/
* Wanted to see the world through their innocent eyes, and learn about life all over again.

Now for why I'm asking...3/

I were a white supremacist/elitist/classist, I can't imagine a better way to hold onto and increase my power and privilege than to pretend I hate them, don't want them, and want better for everyone who doesn't have them. In other words, 1/
...what better way to keep and increase power than to become a malignant narcissist! Let's look at the steps:
2. When they're hooked, find a fault they can't fix easily or at all 2/ their best qualities
2. When they're hooked, find a fault they can't fix easily or at all 2/
3. Create doubt in their minds that they are the people they thought you thought they were
4. Keep moving the goalposts so they keep chasing the dragon of the virtue I initially assured them they had, while
5. gaslighting them; saying I never said/did what they claim 3/

Advice for parents from Legal insurrection: cultivate relationships with local reporters; make their job easier. Write the articles FOR them. Give them quotes, and 800 words written. Do things by email, so you have a record if they misquote you.1/
Record interviews if it's legal where you live. If not, tell them you're recording. Keep answers short, so they have more trouble misquoting your or taking you out of context. Say what you want to see in print. 2/
Focus on the message: you are for equality, non-discrimination, and you oppose the racialization of education.3/

Finally made it to the hotel and our room. 18 hours for a 13.5 trip. Subtracting maybe 30 minutes altogether for stops, that's 4 hours extra in TRAFFIC alone, all of which was "construction" that wasn't. Lame closures and a weird number of state police cars and cop cars. 1/
Boston, even in the dark, looks like ten times the ass-crack of America it was when I left in 2005. GIANT BLM sign in Red Sox font with little Red Sox flanking the turnpike as you enter the city. It's like the city is saying "Whitey go home" as you enter. 2/
Saw a couple walking down the sidewalk, at midnight, no one around, both wearing masks. It's a fucking cult. That's the part that's gonna suck about this conference: having to wear a mask all damn day. Networking wearing a mask. Etc. UGH. 3/

People have gotten intolerable. At a DC area Wawa, getting gas, and all the bays are full. I get behind the one with only one car in line and wait. I hear the pump beeping like it's done, and I notice there is no driver. I can't back up now, someone behind me. 1/
I wait, and wait, and wait. Five minutes goes by. Finally a woman comes out, walking at a pace that says "I am all alone in the world." She has a bag full of snacks and a coffee. She settles her purchases in her car, and then takes the pump out. 2/
It's now been about 7 minutes. She gets in her car. I have done nothing but wait. I've not gestures or said a word. She sits in her car. Another three minutes go by. She's on her phone. There's a huge area she could pull out into for that. She sits, not even looking up.3/
