I am pasting the link on all the AERA social media sites where they are acting as if nothing happened yesterday. This is my good trouble for today. Keep up the great reporting!
This makes so much sense! You can’t save ‘civil rights’ with a sneer, but call it ‘woke’ and you can apply it to anything as an insult. They got away with it because it was just a right wing media quirky term. Now it is clear we have to push back hard. Limiting thought and education is not beneficial or where we want the US to be. Not going back!
They are trying to roll back the Disparate Impact laws from the early 70's. Griggs vs Duke Power is what makes a college education so expensive (supply/demand economics). That case got rid of aptitude tests that employers were able to use to screen for employment at a company and what job might be applicable to that person applying for a position. If employers were no longer able to use the tests, they decided that a college degree ( with SAT scores for admittance and all its course testing) would suffice. The problem was that colleges were not (and still are not) prepared to "educate" all these students into the workforce and now employers are complaining that the college education that these students have received does not prepare them for real work in the business world.
Disparate Impact laws have actually made getting a degree more difficult and more expensive for black students because if everyone needed a degree, colleges were going to make a profit .....and they have certainly profited! This is why we have student debt like never before. Most college students shouldn't be there and they don't want to be there. They are there because "the system" tells them that this is the only way that they will make money to survive, yet the cost of the education/degree is much more than what jobs are paying. It wasn't long ago that college was only for those seeking a niche degree (medical doctor/dentist, chemist, biologist, architect etc) or those who just wanted to go to school for the sake of learning (a liberal arts degree). Nursing schools were run in hospitals, teacher schools were certificates etc.
Speaking of Curtis Yarvin, Dave Troy lays out the connections among Yarvin, Musk and the Network States movement. Troy is on BlueSky @davetroy.com.bsky.social. Here's a link to his blog, containing a couple of memos which detail what the elites have in store for the rest of us.
You are right. My head is splitting from trying to wrap it around this idea of keeping our future generations stupid, to put it simply. But, I know you’re spot on in your analysis as you always are. “Oh, what a world. What a world.”
There's an odd comfort in hearing the truth laid out so clearly. Thank you.

Say not save. Sorry.
