How do you expect black students from inner city schools, schools you claim are so horrible they require vouchers to get away from, to have the same grades as well funded, white suburban schools? Unless you're now claiming those inner city public schools are just fine and don't need vouchers for those kids to escape from? Which is it? Do they have the same level of education or not?

Would you like to compare how the white students in those inner city public schools perform compared to their black peers in the same school?

I’ll bet you don’t.

How a Conservative Activist Invented the Conflict Over Critical Race Theory

"To Christopher Rufo, a term for a school of legal scholarship looked like the perfect weapon.By Benjamin Wallace-WellsJune 18, 2021Remote work turned out to be advantageous for people looking to leak information to reporters. Instructions that once might have been given in conversation now often had to be written down and beamed from one home office to another. Holding a large meeting on Zoom often required e-mailing supporting notes and materials—more documents to leak.

We have an inherent right to examine materials we are required to study, discuss them and share them to whoever we wish.

Before the pandemic, if you thought that an anti-racism seminar at your workplace had gone awry, you had to be both brave and sneaky to record it. At home, it was so much easier. Zoom allowed you to record and take screenshots, and if you were worried that such actions could be traced you could use your cell phone, or your spouse’s cell phone, or your friend’s.

You are describing a conflict already in place, not one "invented" as you claim in the title of this panel, I suggest that you retract your false title for this thread.

Institutions that had previously seemed impenetrable have been pried open: Amazon, the I.R.S., the U.S. Treasury. But some less obviously tectonic leaks have had a more direct political effect, as was the case in July, 2020, when an employee of the city of Seattle documented an anti-bias training session and sent the evidence to a journalist named Christopher F. Rufo, who read it and recognized a political opportunity......The next morning, Rufo was home with his wife and two sons when he got a phone call from a 202 area code. The man on the other end, Rufo recalled, said, “ ‘Chris, this is Mark Meadows, chief of staff,reaching out on behalf of the President. He saw your segment on ‘Tucker’ last night, and he’s instructed me to take action.” Soon after, Rufo flew to Washington, D.C., to assist in drafting an executive order, issued by the White House in late September, that limited how contractors providing federal diversity seminars could talk about race. “This entire movement came from nothing,” Rufo wrote to me recently, as the conservative campaign against critical race theory consumed Twitter each morning and Fox News each night. But the truth is more specific than that. Really, it came from him."... https://www.newyorker.com/news/annals-of-inquiry/how-a-conservative-activist-invented-the-conflict-over-critical-race-theoryNice long read. Hopefully it won't block anybody (it should come up as a free sample, essentially, if you're not signed up and haven't read other articles lately).Anyway, you can see from this how a bogeyman has been crafted that fits the modern culture war dynamic very fittingly. It's so sad that people like Rufo are financially rewarded for coming up with crap that only divides and harms our country. That is the modern (alternative) media and faux-political environment for you. The only solution is for people to stop letting guys like Rufo here purposely misinform them and get them riled up over a whole lot of lies and no substance.

It's sad that you are pro-forceful indoctrination rather than pro-free speech, press and communication. I suspect that as these rights are recognized in our founding documents and cherished by the people that you are going find the Free People of America very frustratingly and effectively resistant to your desired autocracy.

Well done. To what do you attribute the cavernous disparities between American blacks and whites regarding family wealth, unemployment, health, incarceration, education, family stability?

The average black IQ is one standard deviation lower than the average White IQ.
