Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I honestly don't understand how these asshats can think that "diversity" doesn't also include white folks. Or that "equity" doesn't also include white folks. Or the "inclusion" doesn't also include white folks.
Teaching kids to respect each other, regardless of their race, religion, sex or gender, is never a bad thing.
It's worse than that. Kids aren't born into this world racist, sexist, and hating, they get taught that either from exposure to it or directly. Of course they see other kids are different to them, but they're fine with that until adults teach them otherwise.
Which is exactly why things like DEI need to be taught in schools.
If parents are racist...they teach their kids to be racist. And that comes out when they go to school and encounter other kids that their parents have taught them to hate. There is no better place to push back on that, than in the place where they encounter those other kids.
Teachers should not be forced to turn a blind eye to that hate. They should be required to teach kids a better way of interacting with each other, because it solves two major problems at once...
A)...it provides every kid in that school with a safer learning environment.
And B)...it might actually prevent some of those kids from growing up to also teach their kids to be racist, and end the generational learning curve that perpetuates racism in the 1st place.
Absolutely. My post was just about how kids begin with a DEI mindset and that gets removed from them. What you're talking about is reinforcing the normal, especially for those kids in bad environments. The issue then becomes the schools not having the backing to fight the eventual angry parents and their lawyers because their child is being shown that their parents are wrong. Schools used to be able to push back, but they bend over at anything now for fear of lawsuits and/or funding cut and jobs lost.
Education is one of the most critical careers we have, and yet it's underpaid and attacked constantly for doing their job.
