[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really feel like this country is on the precipice of slipping back into Jim Crow. My parents are Boomers and they told me a number of their long-time friends and colleagues have absolutely become radicalized by what they are reading on Facebook and seeing on Fox News. To the point where these people are OK expressing that they think certain populations - based on race - shouldn't be allowed to vote. And, of course, they get offended when my parents say "Hey, that's racist."

The seed has been planted and it's germinating.

This country is about to go through some things and it won't be pleasant.

There is no way we’re on the precipice of falling back into Jim Crow simply for the fact of demographic realities. This country is browning much more quickly than it is lightening.

What you’re seeing are futile attempts to halt those changes through bills which will be overturned by an increasingly interracial society in a few years. These are the last gasp attempts.

One concern I do have is this idea of needing to slow AP students of any race down and placing them all together out of “equity”, but really on all the other stuff, we should be teaching them, in a non-shame based way, about the terrible effects of slavery.
