    I get it, you have given that opinion of yours many times now. It means nothing to anyone but your.
    You do research that isn't with references? That's some bad research.

    You understand basic math? Then prove

    -1 * -1 = 1

    The intent is to scare off the woke STEM instructors. The real ones won't be bothered.

    Anyone one who passed junior high math can understand my point.

    "Thanks to jerks like the above, America has had 3,333 covid deaths per 1m people while Canada has had 1,267 per 1m. If we had done as well as Canada, we would have lost 424,209 instead of 1,115,933."​

    You tell 'em.

    You couldn’t accuse George Washington of being ‘woke’, he was an enthusiastic slave owner.
    The United States of America is a socialist country because drivers give up their freedom and agree to drive on the right hand side of the road.
    Indeed Americans combine resources to build those roads, socialism in action, as is collectively funding free school places for the young.

    The one I always loved to provoke math majors with was:

    +1 * -1 = -1 (a 'plus' times a 'minus' results in a 'minus' -- no exceptions!) . The proofs they offered usually ran about two pages and required the acceptance of certain 'assumptions'. :dog:

    "Those parents" you refer to are much more perceptive, much less credulous than you apparently are.

    Of course, I completely disagree. Believing in conspiracy theory type stories makes people less credulous. Not more.
    Again, there's not CRT program curriculum in primary education.

    You are so distracted and oblivious and conditioned by NPR that you don't even realize how many false conspiracies you embrace.

    Happy New Year DA.

    You've just spammed the same comment again:
    Do you plan to just shut down the topic with spam or do you have something fresh to add to foster the discussion that you are joining?

    Oh my, NPR?
    You claiming they are promoting conspiracy theories? If so, care to give some examples?

    Happy New Year.

    SCIENCE! Black physicist canceled for challenging narrative of ‘homophobic’ NASA telescope.

    [​IMG]

    'The New York Times reports National Society for Black Physicists President Hakeem Oluseyi (pictured) initially was “sympathetic” to those claim James Webb had overseen homophobic government actions in the State Department during the 1950s’ “Lavender Scare.”'

    'But after doing quite a bit of research, Oluseyi changed his mind.'

    Sounds like how a scientist would approach a question.

    “I can say conclusively that there is zero evidence that Webb is guilty of the allegations against him,” Oluseyi wrote at Medium.

    'This did not sit well with one of Webb’s biggest critics, “queer agender” black feminist physicist Chanda Prescod-Weinstein of the University of New Hampshire. Prescod-Weinstein has been very outspoken about renaming the James Webb Space Telescope and claimed NASA had assigned Oluseyi to “impugn” her concerns and to provide a “shield” for Webb and the agency.'

    Yeah? What's the quality of her physics work?

    GET WOKE, GO BROKE: Hollywood lost a half trillion dollars in market value in 2022.

    'Major studios, streamers, cable providers, and other media giants lost a combined $542 billion in market value in 2022, with left-wing studios the Walt Disney Co., Netflix, and Comcast accounting for the bulk of the bloodshed.'

    'The Dow Jones Media Titans index, which tracks the performance of 30 of the world’s biggest media companies, shed 40 percent this year, with its total market value declining from $1.35 trillion to $808 billion, according to a Financial Times report.'

    Welcome to the Biden/Dem Suck.

    'The losses outpaced indices for other sectors, including banking, which saw a 14.5 percent drop for the year, and telecommunications, which fell by 11.2 percent.'

    You try and try.

    You might have a go at responding to my comment. Your goofy friends (Trump, Abbott, DeSantis, Noem et al) are playing "woke" politics to cover up what they've done.

    People are more sick of seeing their fellow Americans homeless, without medical care, losing their rights to control their bodies, and soon to caring for themselves during a recession. If Democrats focus on these issues, they stand an excellent chance of taking the White House in 2024.

    You folks need something more than a everyone is tired of "woke" shtick.

    Lol…I was wondering what people would replace the ‘war on Christmas’ whine. This one sounds appropriately ridiculous.

    Exposing The Woke Race-Hustling Fraud.

    'Advocates of racial preferences in higher education assert that: 1. diversity enhances the learning of all students 2. preferences counter so-called implicit bias that disadvantages minorities in the admissions process, and 3. set-asides remedy historic discrimination by both universities and the country.'

    'While the first is permitted under Supreme Court precedent, it’s largely unseemly tokenism. The second is illegal, and–along with part of the third justification–is irrelevant, because there is no implicit bias that disadvantages minorities in the higher-education admissions process today. Indeed, there is no historic discrimination still in need of remediation at these leftist cathedrals.'

    'It’s exactly the opposite. Preferred minorities are given exceedingly large preferences in admissions and faculty recruitment. In hiring for a position at my school, all but one of the candidates presented by the administration-chosen DEI-driven screening committee were minority. That’s a staggering influence of race.'

    'And remedying national-historic discrimination as a justification for affirmative action is properly illegal under Supreme Court precedent; you don’t fix discrimination by discriminating, as Chief Justice Roberts stated.'

    'DEI/Affirmative Action has become an entrenched item of faith, a tool of status competition and — not least — a tool for keeping the evil white males in their place.'

    It can't end too soon.

    Your stock market shtick is absurd. The market is way overvalued.
    Young people will be better off when home prices and the stock market go down. It will reverse some of the massive wealth transfer to haves from working stiffs.

    Your anti-woke crusade only works for folks who don't have to worry about the things you're ignoring--healthcare, putting food on the table, paying tuition, and keeping a roof over their heads.

    People are tired of woke and you might win their support if you address issues that matter more.

    I only made a "C" in Latin, but I know what "quod erat demonstrandum" means. Still, if 'one' times x = x (no problem), then exactly why is it that 'one' times a 'minus-one' necessarily equals 'minus-one'? That's the same thing I was talking about in the post your replied to! Argh! Never mind... I think I need to resume getting drunk.... :truce:
