How many mouths will this feed? How many roofs built? How many alliances forged?
I honestly don’t understand how these asshats can think that “diversity” doesn’t also include white folks. Or that “equity” doesn’t also include white folks. Or the “inclusion” doesn’t also include white folks.
Teaching kids to respect each other, regardless of their race, religion, sex or gender, is never a bad thing.
I mean we’re talking about appealing to a voting block who still fly confederate flags. They’re not exactly intelligent or reasonable people…
It’s worse than that. Kids aren’t born into this world racist, sexist, and hating, they get taught that either from exposure to it or directly. Of course they see other kids are different to them, but they’re fine with that until adults teach them otherwise.
Which is exactly why things like DEI need to be taught in schools.
If parents are racist…they teach their kids to be racist. And that comes out when they go to school and encounter other kids that their parents have taught them to hate. There is no better place to push back on that, than in the place where they encounter those other kids.
Teachers should not be forced to turn a blind eye to that hate. They should be required to teach kids a better way of interacting with each other, because it solves two major problems at once…
A)…it provides every kid in that school with a safer learning environment.
And B)…it might actually prevent some of those kids from growing up to also teach their kids to be racist, and end the generational learning curve that perpetuates racism in the 1st place.
You shall find your answers if you follow the path of power, which in time will lead into the Forest of Money, and after many days shall lead into the Heart of Dissension. All of it found in the Realm of Mockery.
For you see, many of the Republican leaders aren’t stupid. They are quite smart. However, they collectively have very similar character traits:
- Propensity for hatred
- Superhuman ability to project
- Stupendously fragile ego
- Thirst for power not for, just against
- Diligence against learning
- Frightened to challenge their own beliefs
- Terror of ostracisation
- Desire to fit in
They hate so strongly that they refuse to understand that the “values” they have are projections of their own ego in their thirst for power. This desire for authority is never to help others, it’s to stomp on those who challenge their fragile beliefs lest they get questioned too hard and are kicked from the many mini cults they subscribe to. Don’t believe me? Play “I’m an Imaginary Republican in 2025!”
"This goes against…! -> “OBAMA…” -> [insert personal attack] -> “My constituents could never…” -> “In 1847…” -> covers ears “LA LA LA” -> Other holdout Republicans begin voting yes on destroying the Universe and all who live within it -> Votes “Yes” trying to be the last holdout because his colleagues know what he’s doing and salty because they know his base probably loved it
They don’t think.
Ask someone who is supporting all this anti-DEI stuff what DEI stands for. They either won’t have a clue, or if they do, you’ve found yourself a bigot who is find with oppressing others.
Out with the DEI hires, in with the DUI hires
I wonder how they’ll try to walk it back once they realize that they effectively banned teaching religion in schools
Rules for theeeeeee
Oh America, get it the fuck together.
That’s not going to happen for a long time. Our education system is a shit show. We’d need a whole lot of stupid people to stop voting and a whole lot of candidates who actually believe in public service.
