It's scary that you lack any critical thinking skills. Fox and Facebook are powerful things.

It's scary that you prefer to parrot the same talking points, over and over again. Especially in the face of numerous links that have been posted to the "anti-bias" curriculum implemented in FCPS, LCPS, and other school systems. "CRT" is merely shorthand. You know, like "Defund the Police."

LOL. You voted for Youngkin because some teachers took anti-bias training? You realize that has been around forever and is standard corporate training?

At Carlyle, it looks like Youngkin went WAY farther than that for D&I:

You been had.

If you can't tell the difference between a private business and a public school at this point in your life, I don't think we can help you either.

It’s like the most basic “how to be a decent human” training.

How is it offensive in any way?

Not on your life. It’s racist propaganda. By definition, it focuses on race, which is gross.

If they want to implement training about being kind and respectful in general, I’d be all for that. But the diversity training I have had to endure is obnoxious and won’t change anyone’s behavior.

You can certainly argue that it's ineffective but how on earth is something like this offensive or propaganda:

Do you think that implicit biases don't exist? Don't cause harm?

Yup. Crickets.

It’s so benign. I don’t get it.

Is this also benign?

What does that have to do with anti-bias training?

Or schools in VA?

Did you know Carlyle also earned 100% on the Human Rights Campaign scorecard for LGBTQ workplace equality? Huh. Kind of flies in the face of all you trolls claiming he's some "white supremacist racist homophobe anti-Semitic blah blah blah."

This woman is the perfect example of a vile racist. Who also desperately needs a stylist.

Because you are a traitor to America and American democracy and love billionaires instead?

Because you believe the lies told by rightwing media and laundered into Big Corporate media like the NYT by people like Maggie Haberman?

Because your primary motivation is selfishness and you don't care about other people?

Because you're an authoritarian?

Because you're a sucker? ("Two kinds of Republicans, billionaires and suckers.")



Are there other possible reasons?

I would say one primary motivation I had for voting for Youngkin was to make sure the unhinged left comes nowhere near the governance of VA for as long as possible. Thank you for illustrating the point so beautifully.
DP

I see.
Believing the right’s lies, and a sucker.

Enjoy billionaires making you poorer as you lap up their lies. Should be fun.

And you continue proving the point… over and over again. I hope 2022/24 is fun for you.

I didn't vote for Donald Trump in 2016 (or Hillary Clinton), but I got a kick out of the NW DC parents crying and holding one another at school dropoff the next morning. It was so ridiculous.

They're going to have a full meltdown when the GOP retake the House and Senate next year.

Independent POSs are the worst. Grow TF up and vote like an adult.

DP. In other words, vote the way YOU want us to vote. No thanks.

Oh goodness, that HRC scorecard means nothing (and I say as someone who harbors zero hate for Carlyle). Every business has one, including my local grocery store and my former firm (where more than a few openly gay people, women, and minorities were quickly "counseled out" at the first sight of the company's financial trouble).

Standard practice. You bring them in to make you look good recognizing that most of them really can't do the work. When you can't afford the fluff in the budget, you make them go away, but you still have the award on your website.

o School closures + COVID policy were a bigger factor than CRT. These voters were more animated talking about their dissatisfaction with their local school districts’ handling of COVID. They felt buffeted by changing and inconsistent policies and concerned about the impact on student learning loss, and there was a sense among some that Virginia was not following the science by keeping schools closed later than other states. One participant, a Biden voter, stated flat out that her vote for Youngkin “was against the party that closed the schools for so long last year.”

Yeah, but the Democratic focus on being so relentlessly PC is not helping either, according to the focus groups. That plus the fact that McAuliffe did not run a positive campaign anc gave voters no reason to vote for him.

“Glibly”? GMAFB. That money will do infinitely more good than Trump’s trillions of tax cuts.

Y voters are dumb AF.

Trump's tax cut made my taxes go up. Democrats are set to lower taxes on my six figure income. Reality is a strange place. Visit it some time.
