MODERATORS
Day by day, we realize conservatives are not capable of NOT being assholes.
Next up from the Republican party platform: "Emmet Till deserved it."
I am 100% not surprised this would go down in Missouri.
The pertinent lesson to be learned here is that democracy (especially non compulsory voting democracy) is about engagement. It's not just about political conversation (although that's important too) but getting out and doing something. Don't just assume someone will do the hard yards for you. Register and go out and get others to register. If necessary join a political organisation that reflects your politics or start one. Be involved in local politics. In short: get off your arse and do something.
“woke activism”
What does that even mean?
The board’s vice president, Randy Cook, said phrases in the resolution such as “systemic racism” aren’t defined and mean different things to different people. Another board member, Jane Puszkar, said the resolution served no purpose.
“What has it really done,” she asked. “How effective has it really been?”
The new board is right. Saying some buzzwords doesn't really help anything.
Treat students as equals, regardless of race. Provide resources to poor folk, black or white. Teach math to kids whether they're black or white.
Pretty simple.
Yeah, that's what the resolution was supposed to do. But regressives don't want that, they like to exploit the racism.
How were the students not being treated as equals?
