This is Liberalism. This is why anyone who say's they are a Liberal is in fact an idiot even if they are highly functional in the rest of their life. Even if you would have a beer with them. The side of them that is Liberal is brain-dead.

California Tries to Close the Gap in Math, but Sets Off a Backlash

The California guidelines, which are not binding, could overhaul the way many school districts approach math instruction. The draft rejected the idea of naturally gifted children, recommended against shifting certain students into accelerated courses in middle school and tried to promote high-level math courses that could serve as alternatives to calculus, such as data science or statistics.

The draft also suggested that math should not be colorblind and that teachers could use lessons to explore social justice — for example, by looking out for gender stereotypes in word problems, or applying math concepts to topics such as immigration or inequality.

Meanwhile, SE Asia laughs at us...

It's like Frankie Five Angels said in Godfather, Part II, and I will paraphrase. You may respect a liberal and do business or hang out with a liberal, but you can never trust a liberal.

UPDATED 2:30 PM PT – Thursday, November 4, 2021
Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler (D) has pledged to increase the police budget one year after defunding the police.

During a community town hall meeting on Wednesday, Wheeler said he’s targeting around $7 million dollars in new public safety spending. This comes as Portland experienced its most violent year on record, with a historic 72 homicides this year.

“Many Portlanders no longer feel safe in their city,” said Wheeler during a news conference. “Business owners have closed up shop, for fear of doing business in high-risk areas. Commuters fear for their safety, whether taking public transport or going by foot. Parents are scared to let their children play outside.”

So bizarre. No one has been hurt in math class by word problems stating "Bob has 3 apples. Sally has 6 apples. How many apples are there total?"

What if the apple didn't identify as an apple? Did you just presume its genus, species, or class? And what if Bob's three apples are actually on consignment, making them not really HIS apples?

Oh, and the answer is flawed from the beginning since all apples have been taken from the kids in the first place since the government felt they were grape supremacists.

Damn mb
CNN and MSNBC only wish you worked for them. VERY neat go around.

But
Ro'Quon has 3 apples. Shanequia has 6 apples. How many apples are there total?
is both more "inclusive" and it gives the little nippers extra practice at reading polysyllabic words, even if they are only the names.

There are only six apples. They began with three and 'quon got jacked for his three...

But, since no shots were actually fired, was the handgun held in accordance with prudent safety standards?

My favorite is the plastic water bottle. When I first saw that years ago I thought who would pay for water when it is free?

Of course, we hire them and encourage them to do it.

Remember in the 90s when Gay rights activists were saying "we just want to have the same legal rights of marriage and inheritance as everyone else. Who would want to be Gay? It's not our fault we were born this way."

Remember when those who opposed were called bigots?

And if anyone is paying attention, the gay and lesbian adults are ALSO generally appalled at this, perhaps even more than with the trans nonsense.

Despite what the looney left keeps trying to tell people about gender, sexual orientation is not something that one simply decides one day. It just IS. And as Exhibit #1, I would offer me and my 40+ years of having acknowledged being a lesbian (I knew in my early teens). There was no life event that caused it (aside from being born) and there was no recruitment (I never DID get the toaster oven that was supposed to come with the gig).

The loons supporting that club crap in CA are the same sorts of people that believe in this non-binary nonsense.

I heard that was just for the men, but if you say different I bow to your experience.

I've seen you post for years and unless I missed it, I can't remember you ever talking about how lesbian you are. I agree if everyone took your position there would likely be no push back from me or anyone else.

Did you want a 2 slice or 4 slice? Maybe your expectations were grandiose?

I'm sure we have all taken her lesbian positions at some point.

It has been discussed on many an occasion...even to the point of someone reporting a post when we were talking about the Illini glee club a month or so back. Most mentions are obviously in West Mall...

those options didn't exist back then...it was a box with a power switch. Fancier ones got a tray.

Why so hostile?

 

[horninchicago]

Drunk posting can be problematic.

 

[Horn6721]

That would be disturbing, to not remember.
I agree. It didn't seem like you
Which is why I asked

 

[horninchicago]

I have no memory of making this post.... wow. This is disturbing. I wasn't blacked out at any point last night either. I'm going to go change my password now just in case but I can't believe I would have responded in that way.

Maybe just a failed sarcasm attempt.

 

[2003TexasGrad]

Either way it was offensive. If I did post that, regardless of attempted meaning it was offensive.

If you just tell mb you didn't mean it I am sure all will be good
And she can call off the hit.
