My first exposure to CRT was July 2019 when NYC’s school board passed CRSE (culturally responsive sustaining education) as the framework for education. It was the driving force behind the attack on NYC’s specialized high schools. Then Covid chaos accelerated the downward spiral to equity grading and lottery admissions.

“Tammy Duckworth…hopes to raise more cash to improve Democratic organizing efforts with Asian Americans. “We’ve seen that when we don’t speak to that community, they can vote Republican like they did in New York,”

nytimes.com/2023/07/05/mag… @TammyDuckworth The NY Dem’s reactions to SCOTUS decision show how out of touch they are with the Asian community. Not one Dem elected here — not even the Asians—have issued public statements applauding the end of Asians being discriminated by Harvard.

Harvard et al: Stop lamenting the loss of race affirmative action that discriminated against Asians, and commit to fair admissions by doing away with legacy.

twitter.com/i/web/status/1… “To decry the loss of race conscious affirmative action and persist in using a policy like legacy preference is hypocritical,” he said. “It casts doubt on the veracity of the claims that schools care about diversity.”

100% virtue signaling and 100% racist.

Our leaders are irresponsible to push vaccines on children. We now have data that protection drops to 12% for 11yo in less than 2-months.

Even claims that vax lowers hosp is weak --"But because few children were hospitalized, these estimates have wide margins of error.

The FDA has not grant full-approval of the vax for anyone under 16yo; it's been nearly a yr under EUA.

It is scary that our govt is pushing an experimental vaccine that the govt (aka FDA) won't fully-approve.

This is terrible. The Asian community did not ask for this. We strongly opposed it but our electeds and gov chose to ignore us. I’m no longer checking any boxes.

Instead of just Asian, there will be 24+ separate categories asked by all state agencies that collects demographics. Just visualize the form. It’s obscene!

Curious why NYC Chancellor, head of the largest school system in the country, was not even mentioned among contenders for the nation's top ed job.

Gosh, Biden probably didn't want this headache.

“… newly released statistics from the US Dept of Labor for the third quarter of 2020 undermine this narrative. Asian women have now surpassed white men in weekly earnings...These outcomes cannot exist in a society suffused with misogyny and racism.” quillette.com/2020/12/22/a-p… The attack on merit in education, seeking to kill objective tests like the SAT and #SHSAT in favor of subjective holistic factors, are intended to hurt immigrants.

The argument in NYC’s specialized HS was on a single test #SHSAT. However the attacks on all the other schools around the country made it crystal clear that it was never about a single test. 1/ The single test has been used since the 1930s. It was used when Hecht Calandra was past in 1971. The largest of the 3 HS was majority black and Hispanic for over two decades using this single test. This single test was never a problem until Asians became majority. 2/

“...White supremacy! How!? ... Asian students are double the population of white students, how is that white supremacy? Simple, Asians are white-adjacent.” asian-dawn.com/2020/10/26/bla… Many Asians are immigrants, finding our way in a new country with no social capital. We simply ask for equal opportunity. Anti-Asian racism has intensified in education. Merit-based admissions have given Asian students the chance to earn spots at these top schools. 1/

“Trying to silence people, shame people, and bully people so they can’t be heard is unacceptable. .. and the ppl who want to silence parents should be ashamed of themselves.” Spoke like a true leader. TY @MaudMaron @placenyc_org “Let the student speak” I said.
This woman blocks the podium and refuses to move out of the way so the 6th gr student can have her voice heard. This is not what democracy is about..this is the cancel culture.
