[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bottom line: equity is a political loser.

I didn’t vote for Youngkin, but I will be supporting republicans as long as dems keep pushing this nonsense. [/quote]

Equity is a loser
Equity is nonsense

Wow.  Look at you.  You likely completely lack any ability to consider what things would be like if the roles were reversed and you were on the losing end instead of being on the winning end.[/quote]

Not that PP, but I believe the point is that this obsessive focus on "equity," rather than academics, is a losing proposition.  I would agree with that.  Just take a look at what's been going on in FCPS, and no doubt other public school systems across the US.  Enough already.  Stop spending gobs of money and resources on this nonsense and maybe instead, beef up the actual ACADEMICS.

Who is saying equity should be taught instead of academics, math, writing and reading?  Do you have an actual citation you can provide?[/quote]

DP, but just a few responses up, someone discussed teaching "anti racism."  That is political activism. It's not academics.  [/quote]

Where did anyone say "anti racism" should be taught instead of, and at the expense of academics?

Be specific.[/quote]

Schedules are a zero sum game.  If you talk about anti racism in class. You are not teaching math. So when a pp said that anti-racism should be taught in school, it is logical to conclude that the pp favors teaching that political ideology in schools at the cost of academics.

Come on, now.  [/quote]

Not an answer, try again.  Show us a school curriculum that has directly replaced the math class with anti-tacism class.  If you can't probe the claim, then stop making the claim.[/quote]

No one is claiming that there is an actual class called "equity" or "CRT".  We are saying it is in the messaging, the discussions, the activities.

You're eventually going to shift your argument from "it's not happening" to "it's good and right that it is happening."  The left generally no longer denies teaching "restorative justice" etc.  [/quote]

LMAO!  [i]You're[/i] the one backpedaling.  Above it was [i]directly[/i] claimed that anti-racism was being taught in place of math.

[quote]Schedules are a zero sum game. If you talk about anti racism in class. You are not teaching math.[/quote]

And now you're backpedaling.  Please stop embarrasing yourself.[/quote]

DP.  Anyone with two brain cells to rub together would recognize that the PP was not being literal.  JFC.  If a school curriculum is making room for "equity studies/anti-racism, etc" then they are in effect taking time out of the day that should be used for ACTUAL ACADEMICS.  It is YOU who should be embarrassed for your obvious lack of critical thinking skills.[/quote]

LMAO yea sure, "uhhh the poster wuz not being literal."  What a bunch of bullshit.  You trot in here and make [b]direct and specific claims[/b] that equity etc is being taught in place of math (not in place of any other subject, math was specifically mentioned).  Without giving any actual examples, any evidence, without anything talking about how much time was devoted to equity versus other subjects, NOTHING.

You're just flinging around halfassed opinions and when you get called on it you start flailing about critical thinking skills.  How about YOU apply some critical thinking skill and realize that nobody is taking you seriously for just throwing around halfassed "not literal" bullshit and that if you want anyone to actually think critically about anything you have to say you'd better STFU and come back when you actually have some facts and evidence to support your claims ad accusations.[/quote]
