CRT tangent from political meme thread and Cis tangent from Musk thread

It's pretty clear Florida is just setting itself up with a conservative textbook publisher by rejecting these math textbooks. I can't imagine a publisher putting out a K-12 math textbook with a political slant, let alone 54 textbooks. Math is pretty apolitical (at least at the K-12 level before you get into shit like statistics). They'll be better situated to get the conservative alternative history and alternative science textbooks in the hands of Florida students. A dumber population votes conservative after all.

This is probably the main point. It is obvious when they are doing this to math books which would have nothing to do with CRT and woke issues that they are targetting books that come from companies opposed to the ones who give them kickbacks. It is an added bonus to the scam that they get to pretend they are doing something about CRT and wokeness in math. I also notice the old boogeyman of common core in there. There might actually be varied methods of teaching math princip0les, aka common core, in some of these textbooks. The old common core complaints really just showed idiot parents who were confused about multiple methods to do a simple thing. I notice there has been some backing off of that since right wing opponents were mocked for not being able to understand grade school math assignments.

There is some sort of bribery going on here, and it is probably funneling money into christian run textbook publishers.

Hey, you found me saying some edgelordy shit. It is almost like I am a troll or something. You got me. I am assuming that is an actual quote from me. It sounds like something I would have said.

I am going to give you some credit. I have just below 30k posts as of this posting and you either noted that one and saved it for now knowing you would one day use it against me, or you sifted through almost 30k posts to find that uncommon nugget of cringe racism. It is not like you had a lot to work with, so you win the internets dude. you caught me using the n word in the same way a chris rock or dave chapelle would use it. I am white so I must have thought it was white boy day.

Oh, and I am still standing. You can still stand proud when you actually are not racist. But hey, if someone wants to think I am racist, go right ahead.

You are a fake POS buddy, and people know you just want the power to hurt people with your words. No one thinks you give a fuck about the person who named me in their suicide letter, they all know you are green with envy wishing you could hurt someone that bad. You hit like an airbag surrounded with memory foam.

Or he used the search function for the word after you went off on how you'd never use the word.

I never said I would never use that word. I have said I would no longer use that word as I used it there because it has been pointed out to me that it still harms people in that context. I admit that I am wrong in using the word in the instance and am perfectly fine with standing on my own words regarding racism and the use of that word.

even with it quoted in my face. This is because I actually believe what I say and am not performative on this issue.

Good try, but you fell for the trap. Nice to know you are so petty that you would jump on this and try to make it hit. That says something about you, and how you are a lot of hot air.

I guess I have more to say @Bailey and others like her. I end up being a troll because I end up calling out pomp and circumstance. Unlike other people around I am not rigid and can be proven wrong. There are some academic smart people around here who have done some pretty cool things.


As I am writing this I am reminded that the more intelligent people around here do a lot for allowing discussion and when you end up doubling down on this particular claim it is beneath your normal ability to let bullshit die. Chose your battles.

and then you confirm my worst suspicions about you. OK, if that is who you are. I stand corrected.

Ok.

Hmm. Seems after banning all those woke math textbooks, there's only one provider left and it's a company that Glenn Youngkin (AKA the guy whose balls FF nearly choked on) was co-CEO of until just prior to his run for office, and which he's promoted since via his office by eliminating the competition.

All perfectly above board and not in any sense gub'mint interference in business, which we all know libertarians like FF find anathema, I'm sure.

He makes a good point. There's all manner of books and movies and even TEACHERS THEMSELVES flaunting this interracial agenda in front of kids. They should be ensuring that kids aren't exposed to anything of that sort, and if students have questions about the validity of miscegenation refer those difficult questions to their parents who may hold different moral views.

Right @Uncle Albert and @Federal Farmer, because while I believe you don't share those parents views you would be consistent in believing it's wrong to undermine them right?

It's a good thing Jeffrey Dahmer's parents weren't undermined.
They raised him in a nice homophobic religious home, and look how well that turned out.

You can present facts without editorializing or making a biased presentation to ensure your opinions are accepted as "objectively" correct. That sort of professionalism used to be expected of teachers.

What makes you think that has changed?

no u

and we'll assume you weren't burdened with an overabundance of education?

How to properly tan your balls so you can be a real man is a sort of education.

So to clarify teachers should be referring any such questions to students parents?

To quote the people pushing all these conservative bills you love so much:

Seems pretty clear.

"Never" huh?
So, if daddy's throwing punches, no CPS for you, kids.

It's not a teachers place to editorialize or make any objective statement on the discipline of children by their parents.

Which makes the Civil War a canon violation, since if slavery was a deviation from the constitution, why did it take a war and an amendment to pry it loose?


And if the US Civil War is a canon hiccup, why does Lincoln have a memorial, a face on Rushmore, the $5 bill, and the penny?
His adorable beard?


Why, it's like bigots are bad writers or something.

That's a question I've been asking for years.

I'd argue the Civil War was also a cannon violation

It's not a violation of the Constitution, but it is true that it was a violation of the founding principles - all men are created equal. The Founders refused to use the word slave, set a limit for the slave trade, and in large part even the slave owners knew it was a violation of their principles and were setting the path for it's ultimate extinction. They knew what they were doing when they banned slavery from the Northwest Territories. Lincoln ran on that, to halt slavery to where it existed, until there were so many free states that slavery itself woudl be outlawed. He acknowledged that was the path that the writers of the Constitution and the members of the first Congress set it on.

And the Confederates knew it too. The Cornerstone Speech implied it, but the same speaker, the VP of the Confederacy Alexander Stephens said it outright in another speech. That the great difference between the Southern Confederacy and the United States was that the founders wanted the end of slavery, and the Confederates saw it as the foundation of their republic.

"Another grand difference between the old and new Constitution was this, said Mr. Stephens, in the old Constitution the Fathers looked upon the fallacy of the equality of races as underlying the foundations of republican liberty. Jefferson, Madison, and Washington, and many others, were tender of the word Slave in the organic law, and all looked forward to the time when the Institution of Slavery should be removed from our midst as a trouble and a stumbling block. This delusion could not be traced in any of the component parts of the Southern Constitution. In that instrument we solemnly discarded the pestilent heresy of fancy politicians, that all men, of all races, were equal, and we had made African inequality and subordination, and the equality of white men, the chief cornerstone of the Southern Republic."

Here's the actual page it was printed on in the Southern Confederate, digitized and preserved:

You've got to hate it when your cannon gets violated.

God I love the naivety you get from some Americans that the founders were great men and so even when they owned slaves and built a country which enshrined racism in its laws they were actually engaging in some 11 dimensional chess to end it.

Guess what, the vast majority of leaders and regimes have throughout history paid lip service to actually being the good guys and having noble intentions. Hell, when British settlers arrived in Australia the letter of the law was meant to be that first nations people would have their land rights respected and negotiated for, and that they would be treated with the same rights as any other British subject. That doesn't mean that those settlers were deviating from those ideals, or failing to live up to the authentic founding principles of the colonies, it means that the ideals were nothing more than that, pretty ideals never intended to actually be followed.

"Oh, but you see, the true authentic founding principles..."

Washington spoke his words out of a mouth full of the teeth of humans he owned, fuck off with that authentic principles shit.
