Cori Bush wants adequate security for herself, not for the rest of us. For the rest of us, it's "Defund the Police."
Robin DiAngelos's divisive nonsense somehow still sells. Reportedly up to $20K for an hour of this type of "training."
This article describers the 5-0 vote. The quoted statement is by the president of the school board:
“I know that one of the paragraphs that we put in there that was really important for the board was that we didn’t want our teachers or students being trained or taught that they’re oppressors or victims based on the color of their skin,” he said.
That paragraph reads: “All teachers, students, and support staff are equal as individuals and no one race, gender, ethnicity, or religion is superior or inferior as it relates to another. And no student, teacher, or support staff member should be taught that they are an oppressor or victim based on their race.”
Isaac Newton summed it up: ""If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of Giants." Humans are at their best when they use each others' good ideas. Every human being "steals" hundreds of others' good ideas every day. It amazes me how this concept has been turned on its head by pissy woke scolds. Bill Maher comments on this issue and other dysfunctions on full display at this year's Olympics.
