...and nothing will be done about it.

Where's your hand?

What is it that conservatives hate so much about California is that it's no longer ruled by Reagan and actively making their lives shittier.

Ignorant people hate policies that raise the standard of living for all based on the fact that they're "being told what to do."

I would say it's getting attention because he's an arrogant prick whose arrogance led directly to a murder and we're all curious if that even means anything anymore.

Wtf does riffing on Trump have to do with it?

Same. Rarely see it mentioned, which is a bummer.

It's so good. I like the cut of your jib, so I might give Jedi Survivor a closer look.

I agree on the last point, but there isn't a class based system in place, nor is there a plan to implement one (that I can find).

That, I shall continue to argue, makes this very not good.

I think you can call someone saying “it’s unfair to judge people by race” a racist when they're using that line to applaud the removal of protections against institutional racism. We can argue the merits of AA as a form of protection, but it was protection nonetheless. To say that it was unfair is to entirely ignore the unfairness which necessitated its existence.

How was it not? How is non-whites having less access good?

You follow what I quoted by claiming it wasn't fair ("imo") because, as you say, "we shouldn’t raise the eligibility of people based on their race" which is great if you ignore the fact that nearly every institution in the US treats people differently based on race, whether intentional or not. It is exceedingly rare for that bias to swing in the favor of non-whites.

With no meaningful alternative to AA, what exacxtly is the win here?

But does Elon know that...

 

“S.E.X.: The All You Need to Know Progressive Sexuality Guide to Get You Through High School and College,” was one of the books quoted by Van Der Mark, which is not part of the young adult section of the library according to the city’s catalog.

Pulling adult books to prove a point about allegedly inappropriate material in the children's section is one way to do it, I guess.

Damn, I feel real bad for library staff and the mountain of nonsense that they're dealing with.

 

"Van Der Mark said she will present several examples of books found at city libraries that she says are too sexually explicit for children, including a collection of essays by women about losing their virginity in their teens that she said she found in the teen section at the Huntington Beach Central Library."

Absolutely wild that a book about the teen experience was in the teen section.
