    ...equity works to provide opportunities to those facing barriers by providing additional resources...

    The above is a quote from an indoctrination training I took as an employee of the State of Colorado. In truth I can live with this. I don't object to remediation. It happens all the time in any kind of build if you think about it. It is, in fact, entirely different from the Loudoun County approach, which is to restrain those who can excel. That is retribution as opposed to remediation. You boost no one by restraining another.

    My concept of equity is something you must build yourself IE you build up equity in your home by paying on the premiums.
    You build equity in yourself buy working hard and enhancing your abilities.
    No one can give you equity anymore than you can gain equality without working towards that goal

    A big loss for critical race theory this week, and math is back on the menu . Critical race theory turned out to be a focal issue in the Virginia gubernatorial election. The candidate who promised to bring back accelerated math (0:37 in video below), and swore that he would ban critical race theory "on day one" (2:04 in video below) won a surprise victory.



    Exit polling demonstrated that after economic concerns (the top issue in most major elections), voters' greatest priority was "education".

    The pro-critical race theory camp had a strange and ultimately unsuccessful strategy; essentially a strawman/gaslighting combination that pushed the notion that critical race theory "isn't even taught in K-12", or "isn't part of the official curriculum". They managed to omit the fact that the school systems were paying "equity" consultants to advise them on how to integrate critical race theory into the educational system, as we discussed in this thread.

    This bodes well for other race-based educational initiatives in mathematics, physics, history, and various other subjects. Politicians (from governors all the way down to school board candidates) will now be wary of supporting critical race theory for fear of losing elections.

    Like other periods, it takes just one to get the ball rolling.
    Hopefully a precedent; thwarting other nonsensical agendas, especially recent varieties.

    Black helo's will find more than just You or I interesting....I don't really see politicians as the issue; beside fact of being so easily swayed [owned] by lobbyists and activists.
    That's how nonsense sees the light of day.

    You never know Frank, you might be able to repair the whole damned thing. Especially if you can get enough of them.

    Who said anything about damaging them, I would let them land that way there would be less of a mess to clean up and the FAA would not get involved. It is just where I would let them land might be questionable
