At the local public school, kids are still required to wear masks. The pledge of allegiance is replaced with a land acknowledgement statement. School elections are banned because inclusion and equity. Advanced math is gone because equity. The teacher that ran the school musical is gone, because equity. The parents tried to raise money to keep her, but the school auction is also gone because equity. That's why my kids go to catholic school now.
If only Washington and Oregon had passed massive tax hikes to fully fund education. Oh, that's right, they did. And for some reason, with all that money, actual education has gotten worse. Go figure.

Here's what I saw in the publics with my kids: Equity was used as a label for jealous non-minority parents to fuck over their non-minority peers at better schools, in better neighborhoods, or with what they perceived were better teachers and/or school leadership. If everyone at your school got along well and was happy, they instantly got a target on their back.
In Seattle, the idea of equity meant killing any program or school that delivered above average instruction or curricula, or had too much parental involvement. Good ideas and programs were never shared or spread, although that was the School Board and SI's promise. Instead, they took away all the nice stuff so every kid had to live in the drabness and mediocrity of government provided anything.
Why Seattleites continue to support levies is beyond me.

Not only that, schools are back to begging taxpayers to pass levies. Levies were supposed to be capped at $1.50. I don’t think that cap lasted even a year. The whole thing was to equal rich and poor districts. As usual, everything the touch turns to shit.

What did it cost to "educate" students during the entire length of the lockdowns? Our district is begging right now. All of the usual heartstring stuff about cutting this program and that program. WTH, this district should be swimming in $$$$. Every time I turn around they're tearing a school down and building a Taj Mahal in it's place. Or a brand new one like the GS that looks like a corporate HQ.

I haven't lived there in 16 years, but I knew a "non-minority" SJW (he's even worse than Kobe) that has exactly that mindset. He even went to private school for a few years and an expensive private college. But everyone has to be equal. If a kid's smart, bring them down. He doesn't like grades...
I'm all for helping disadvantaged types, but you can do it without making everyone else suffer. Typical commies see everything as a zero sum game.

It's so much easier to "close the Achievement Gap" by peeling off and driving away the high performing kids than to educate and bring up the kids who reside at the bottom of the gap and don't give two fucks about school or education. Making everyone equally stupid, in other words, is way, way easier than making bad students into good ones.
Plus some portion of the population that didn't test positive for the antibodies to the chicom crud were immune through T cells which had been activated by prior coronavirus infection. So, we locked down the schools but 3/4 of the kids got it anyway. Phucking brilliant work by Dr. Fow Chee.

THE FUTILITY OF SUPPRESSION
Kevin Roche writes to alert us to the new CDC study (highlighted in the Star Tribune this morning) on the overall prevalence of Covid-19 infection in the United States. Six in 10 Minnesotans have contracted the virus. “More than half of Americans and three-fourths of kids already had a bout with the virus[/b] by late February,” according to the Star Tribune story. The CDC study is posted here.
Kevin comments:
To me, the high level of prevalence, especially among younger age groups, highlights the absolute futility of trying to suppress a contagious respiratory virus. Prominent scientists warned us of this. When you think about what the efforts to suppress the virus cost us in so many ways, only to end up with most of the population infected anyway, it should really cause everyone to demand a complete overhaul of public health authorities.
