Is it too soon to congratulate Virginia??

I'm not really concerned with what anyone CALLS it. That isn't really the issue. What stands out to me is what the students and teachers are experiencing from whatever you want to call it, that they are employing in schools:





"hostile culture of conformity and fear that has taken hold of our school"

"school’s ideology requires students to see themselves not as individuals, but as representatives of a group, forcing them to adopt the status of privilege or victimhood"

"This is the dominant and divisive ideology that is guiding our adolescent students."


"In my classroom, I see up close how this orthodoxy hinders students’ ability to read, write, and think."

"Students have internalized the message that this is the way we read and think about the world, and as a result, they fixate on power and group identity. This fixation has stunted their ability to observe and engage with the full fabric of human experience in our literature.

In our school, the opportunity to hear competing ideas is practically non-existent."

"How can students, who accept a single ideology as fact, learn to practice intellectual curiosity or humility or consider a competing idea they’ve never encountered?"

"How can students develop higher order thinking if they are limited to seeing the world only through the lens of group identity and power?"

"these students have found comfort in their moral certainty, and so they have become rigid and closed-minded, unable or unwilling to consider alternative perspectives."

"Of course, not all students are true believers. Many pretend to agree because of pressure to conform."

"I’ve heard from students who want to ask a question but stop for fear of offending someone. I have heard from students who don’t participate in discussions for fear of being ostracized."

"One student did not want to develop her personal essay — about an experience she had in another country — for fear that it might mean that she was, without even realizing it, racist. In her fear, she actually stopped herself from thinking. This is the very definition of self-censorship."

"the stifling conformity has only intensified. Last fall, two administrators informed faculty that certain viewpoints simply would not be tolerated during our new “race explicit” conversations with our new “anti-racist” work. They said that no one would be allowed to question the orthodoxy regarding “systemic racism.” The message was clear, and the faculty went silent in response."

"The reality is that fear pervades the faculty. On at least two separate occasions in 2017 and 2018, our Head of School, standing at the front of Hajjar Auditorium, told the entire faculty that he would fire us all if he could so that he could replace us all with people of color."

"During a recent faculty meeting, teachers were segregated by skin color. Teachers who had light skin were placed into a “white caucus” group and asked to “remember” that we are “White” and “to take responsibility for [our] power and privilege.” D-E’s racial segregation of educators, aimed at leading us to rethink of ourselves as oppressors, was regressive and demeaning to us as individuals with our own moral compass and human agency."

"DE claims that we teach students how to think, not what to think. But sadly, that is just no longer true."

"I hope administrators and board members awaken in time to prevent this misguided and absolutist ideology from hollowing out D-E, as it has already hollowed out so many other institutions."
 

And what of the many thousands of teachers who have spoken up to say that this is not happening in their schools, and that such accusations are ridiculous? Where does that fit in voters’ beliefs that they need to take over the schools?

Lol wants to ensure CRT isn’t taught.

Maybe he should ensure that basic American Government is? 🙄

Is this the sort of alternative viewpoint we’re supposed to allow now? Is this what is being “suppressed” in the name of conformity? 🙄

So, Terry McAuliffe used an obvious hoax in an attempt to have his political opponent disqualified. That just shows that he's an even bigger scumbag than I first realized. Thanks for pointing that out. 

Yes, they were responsible and Terry McAuliffe used that hoax to attempt to disqualify his political opponent.

He tweeted a picture of the hoax and said this should disqualify Youngkin.

And what would you call what Margie Greene is doing on a daily basis?

Or Jim Jordan?
Matt Gaetz?

They’re all liars, congress people who are lying and spreading more conspiracy theories, racism, hatefulness, and lying out their big fucking pie holes, attempting to disqualify other congress people, politicians, the president. Themselves—Not anyone else doing it.

Where is the tweet?  I looked and couldn’t find it.

IOKIYR

On his Twitter? Then he should have them check with him before allowing anyone to tweet on his behalf. They made him look like an opportunist jackass,  not to mention a dumbass who doesn't know that who supports you is not a disqualifying element. 

Where did you get your information?

Do you have a screenshot of the tweet?  BC the one just posted doesn't say that it should disqualify Youngkin.  Just says that the McAuliffe camp condemns what happened.

You are making assumptions again.

I tracked the story down that had the tweet from a staffer using her own account.  It had a date of 10/29/2021 so I went to Twitter and starting the day before the date & read everyone of Terry McAuliffe’s tweets until the election.  What you claimed was there wasn’t.

I thought of sharing what I found but decided screw it, YOU should have done this work before you made the accusation.

And now there is information aj2hall brought that the McAuliffe Campaign condemned the Lincoln Project stunt.
