    I don't attend school, and I don't have kids in school, so I don't know.

    From the article: "A July survey by Education Week found that barely a year after the murder of George Floyd by a Minnesota cop, 8% of K-12 teachers said they have taught or discussed CRT with students"

    So, 8% say they have discussed it.... Discuss in what extent? If you discuss it one day, does that then mean you have taught CRT, and have broken the law?

    IMO, the populist / gop culture wars is going to backfire.

    Remote work changed everything.
    Now young educated professionals and young educated families can move to Florida, enjoy almost resort-like lifestyle, work from home, and enjoy the salaries of higher paying states. Many companies already accepted this reality and when they are looking for talent they include Florida in location metatags when they publish job openings. In my local jobs alert I keep getting alerts from companies located in Illinois, Carolinas, New York, and even California, advertising their remote job openings to Florida audience.

    CRT is essentially a hate speech,
    I know it will never happen but ideally any teacher who discuss CRT should be fired.

    I uesswewill find out.
    Maybe. But for me the culture war is not a ploy.it is defending the finest art, the most sublime music and the profoundest philosophies the world has ever seen. If we lose to the cultural relativists and barbarians at least we fought on the side of the angels.

    Advertising to Florida audience.....? Why would they restrict ANY State? But no, remote working did not change everything. Lot of people who have been working remotely due to Covid will be asked to start showing up in person. There is also absolutely no reason why a company would offer NYC salaries to an remote employee. Where are you hearing this?

    So, you are fighting to preserve art and music created by white people, because........otherwise they won't be able to make music anymore.... Wow.

    You are too late thought, - they stopped making music after the 1980s.

    That is exactly why we have to preserve the old music made by White people a long time ago.

    Usually you pay companies like Zip Recruiter to add your opening to alerts. They will also charge you more for each state. The targeted audience is important because all of these platforms need to display relevant data to users, otherwise users will ignore them and they lose revenue. So, location meta tags are important.

    No, many businesses already made peace with the remote work and even take advantage of using lower office space.

    I think they offer on lower end of their locale to make sure they don’t alienate local talent. I write software for financial systems and everything that pops up in my alerts tends to have good pay (my perspective as someone earning a Chicago level salary). The lowest range generally comes from truly local companies.

    The old music went out of fashion. Its really as simple as that.

    Good luck with your culture wars. IMO it will fail.

    No, not for remote jobs

    I am sure some did, but most are going back to office.

    I am a software engineer too, and have been offered remote jobs for NYC companies, and they are NOT offering NYC salaries (more like half of NYC salaries), and nor are they offering permanent positions, unless you agree move there.

    If you think using wokeness to fight wokness will save the white art and music, then so be it. Good luck and all.

    It’s possible that NYC companies and CA companies go for lower. As I’m saying, my perspective is from Midwest and what I am seeing on my own level of experience seems very reasonable. Even if I get a job from NYC company and get a lot less than a local New Yorker would, I’d still be happy with it because I don’t require more to pay for basic living expenses. That’s why remote work will never go away - companies from expensive states can get high quality talent who will be happy to work for you for a lot less.

    Thanks. It is winning so far in FL and VA. I am mihty impressed that a sleepy Philadelphia exurb had anggry parents descending on the schoolboard, so there is reason to be optimistic.

    I've been remote working for many years, and my company has not offered differing salaries based on state except for States that have specific labor state laws that impact benefits, like California.

    There's no trend to put CRT into the curriculum.

    Schools are forthright in presenting situations where racial and ethnic minorities suffer disadvantage created by past discrimination. They typically aren't clear about how the past impacts today. Too bad, because high school students are capable of considering such matters. They did in my classes, especially economics.
    Actually, they don't. You should be pleased. Most are quite comfortable around each other. 15% of marriages are between people of different races or ethnicities.
    I'm also a Canadian citizen and live part of the year in Canada. I get your point.
    American school teachers aren't Marxists. CRT doesn't have much attraction for most teachers.

    Better to worry about turning off good teachers by hassling them with bureaucratic BS when they also have low salaries.

    I have been working remote 8 years now, and what I said is true. I have been offered jobs in NYC and on-site positions carry MUCH higher salaries than remote.

    And by "teacher bashing laws" you mean laws which ban teachers from teaching absolute TRASH.

    Fire the very few teachers who go rogue and stop attacking the rest with bureaucratic impediments to doing their job.

    Well we're basically comparing two personal experiences, so what we need is data.

    Sure, and you can look at the job search engines, but I think you'll agree they'll pay you more if you are on-site in NYC than remote. Some positions require on-site presence and no one would move to NYC with FL salary level.

    OK we're talking about two different things. I'm talking about remote jobs in different states.

    Ok, if the client / employer is in NYC, and you are remote, then it won't matter if you work from Michigan, Ohio or any other State. Sometimes the time-zone becomes an issue, because NY is 3 hours ahead of West Coast.
