School Kids - Pawns in Social Reform and their Domestic Terrorist Parents

Yesterday,  @Harvard was sued by a group of students due to pervasive antisemitism on campus.
 

The complaint is best described as devastating.

 

Based on the alleged facts which are consistent with what I have heard from students and faculty on campus, and what I have seen with my own eyes, I expect that Harvard will lose.

 

The complaint can be found below. It is a must read: https://

I find it hard to construct Harvard’s defenses to these allegations.
 

The explosion of antisemitism on campus is a direct result of the destructive DEI oppressor/oppressed ideology combined with failed leadership and poor governance.

 

Another sad day for Harvard.

Fire Cornell President And Get Rid Of DEI, Says Major Donor And Trustee Emeritus

 

Jon Lindseth: “President Pollack and Provost Kotlikoff have allowed their headlong support for DEI policies to take root at the expense of the four essential pillars of Cornell University:

1) Open Inquiry;

2) Academic Freedom;

3) Viewpoint Diversity; and

4) Free Expression.

This is an inexcusable violation of their fundamental duty to Cornell. Therefore, they should resign their positions effective immediately.”

Holy shit, real teachers still exist!

 

Unfortunately, he's likely been ostracized by the rest of the teacher faculty wherever it is he teaches.

Technically if any of the students are 18 they're adults. That magic cut off number matters. If they're 17 and 14... They're just kids being kids, right?

No matter how you slice-and-dice it, it's &#%$ing bizarre, and I want anyone from that school system to explain to me how anybody thought this was a good idea.

The school choice movement, which wants families to be able to use public money to send their children to the public, private or home-school of their choosing, scored two major triumphs last week, with multiple defeats of targeted anti-school-choice Republicans in the Texas primary, and Alabama's enactment of a comprehensive school choice program. 

 

Texas governor Greg Abbott had made school choice a top legislative goal of the 2023 Texas legislative session. However, his agenda was thwarted by 21 Republicans who helped the Texas House kill the measure in a final 84-63 vote. Sixteen of them were up for reelection in 2024, and Abbott earnestly gunned for the group, backing primary challenges against 10 of them, and spending $4.4 million to take them out. 

 

He wasn't he only one. The American Federation of Children (AFC), a school-choice group that calls for states to "fund students, not systems," went after 13 of the anti-school-choice Republicans, spending more than $4.5 million on the cause.

 

On Tuesday, the combined attack resulted in a bloodbath for the targeted incumbents. Of the 13 pursued by AFC Victory Fund, 10 either lost outright or are condemned to a runoff in May. Six were defeated and four will now face defeat in the May 28 runoffs. 

 

School choice in Texas received another shot in the arm by way of a non-binding proposition question on the ballot. When asked if they agreed with statement, "Texas parents and guardians should have the right to select schools, whether public or private, for their children, and the funding should follow the student," 80% of Republican voters said yes. 

 

Two days later, Alabama Gov Kay Ivey signed The CHOOSE Act into law. It creates Education Savings Accounts parents will be able to tap for $7,000 in education expenses per academic year. Home-schoolers can use up to $2,000 per year. The program is being phased in, starting with the 2025-26 school year and fully available to all students by 2027-28.
