We are not interested in gutting equity programs that serve actual children in exchange for your political approval

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

White privilege died when the laws creating such situations were eliminated.

What the left is trying to do now is nothing more than revenge.

I don't know about that. But I do think when they are back in power, MAGA should go hide.

Revenge now? Look at Trump, Bondi, Patel, etc.

Of course you don't get it. You are a mouth breathing SJW idiot.

If Dems keep concentrating on defending illegal murderers, mutilating children, and government waste, I don't think power is coming back to you morons anytime soon.

DOE letter warns public schools to remove DEI policies …​

Feb 27, 2025 · NEW ULM — A Feb. 14 letter from the U.S. Department of Education Office for Civil Rights sent to public schools across the country notified them they have no more than 14 days to remove DEI...

Trump's DOE demanded a letter from school districts that the districts had 14 dayts to confirm that they were not teaching or meeting DEI principles in American education in their classroom. One superintendent reponsed elegantly with she would not sign the letter.

In response to this edict from the Trump administration giving every school district only 10 days to respond, one brave district superintendent wrote this. (Name was withheld for obvious reasons..)
Still Not Signing: A Superintendent's Response to the Department of Education's Anti-DEI Ultimatum
The federal government gave us ten days to sign away our values. Here’s our answer.
April 8, 2025
To Whom It May (Unfortunately) Concern at the U.S. Department of Education:
Thank you for your April 3 memorandum, which I read several times — not because it was legally persuasive, but because I kept checking to see if it was satire. Alas, it appears you are serious.
You’ve asked me, as superintendent of a public school district, to sign a "certification" declaring that we are not violating federal civil rights law — by, apparently, acknowledging that civil rights issues still exist. You cite Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, then proceed to argue that offering targeted support to historically marginalized students is somehow discriminatory.
That’s not just legally incoherent — it’s a philosophical Möbius strip of bad faith.
Let me see if I understand your logic:
If we acknowledge racial disparities, that’s racism.
If we help English learners catch up, that’s favoritism.
If we give a disabled child a reading aide, we’re denying someone else the chance to struggle equally.
And if we train teachers to understand bias, we’re indoctrinating them — but if we train them to ignore it, we’re “restoring neutrality”?
How convenient that your sudden concern for “equal treatment” seems to apply only when it’s used to silence conversations about race, identity, or inequality.
Let’s talk about our English learners. Would you like us to stop offering translation services during parent-teacher conferences? Should we cancel bilingual support staff to avoid the appearance of “special treatment”? Or would you prefer we just teach all content in English and hope for the best, since acknowledging linguistic barriers now counts as discrimination?
And while we’re at it — what’s your official stance on IEPs? Because last I checked, individualized education plans intentionally give students with disabilities extra support. Should we start removing accommodations to avoid offending the able-bodied majority? Maybe cancel occupational therapy altogether so no one feels left out?
If a student with a learning disability receives extended time on a test, should we now give everyone extended time, even if they don’t need it? Just to keep the playing field sufficiently flat and unthinking?
Your letter paints equity as a threat. But equity is not the threat. It’s the antidote to decades of failure. Equity is what ensures all students have a fair shot. Equity is what makes it possible for a child with a speech impediment to present at the science fair. It’s what helps the nonverbal kindergartner use an AAC device. It’s what gets the newcomer from Ukraine the ESL support she needs without being left behind.
And let’s not skip past the most insulting part of your directive — the ten-day deadline. A national directive sent to thousands of districts with the subtlety of a ransom note, demanding signatures within a week and a half or else you’ll cut funding that supports... wait for it... low-income students, disabled students, and English learners.
Brilliant. Just brilliant. A moral victory for bullies and bureaucrats everywhere.
So no, we will not be signing your “certification.”
We are not interested in joining your theater of compliance.
We are not interested in gutting equity programs that serve actual children in exchange for your political approval.
We are not interested in abandoning our legal, ethical, and educational responsibilities to satisfy your fear of facts.
We are interested in teaching the truth.
We are interested in honoring our students’ identities.
We are interested in building a school system where no child is invisible, and no teacher is punished for caring too much.
And yes — we are prepared to fight this. In the courts. In the press. In the community. In Congress, if need be.
Because this district will not be remembered as the one that folded under pressure.
We will be remembered as the one that stood its ground — not for politics, but for kids.
Sincerely,
District Superintendent
Still Teaching. Still Caring. Still Not Signing.

She refuses to let Trump tell her how to do her job and respond issues of diversity, inclusion, and being equal. For her.

I bet she does not approve of Trump wanting to set up concentraton camps in El Salvador and elsewhere out of the US for non-civilians and civilians alike.

It's reality, something you left a long time ago.

Perhaps reading the actual memo the superintendent is referring to would be helpful for those capable of reading it.

https://www.ed.gov/media/document/reminder-of-legal-obligations-undertaken-exchange-receiving-federal-financial-assistance-and-request-certification-under-title-vi-and-sffa-v-harvard-april-3.pdf

The closing paragraph (emphasis mine):
". . .2. For entities and institutions that use DEI practices in violation of federal law, those entities may incur substantial liabilities, . . ."

The superintendent apparently needs a remedial reading comprehension course so that she would not have missed that. Or she needs a remedial course in intellectual honesty.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

she should have sent it to Foxfyre for review

 

[Jarlaxle]

Of course you don't get it. You are a mouth breathing SJW idiot.

No-JakeStarkey's latest sock is a lying propagandist.

You post like a child.

Good god, this is Farkey-Starkey-twat?

What are you talking about, Flakey.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

You post like a child.

Thank you.

 

[Jarlaxle]

You post like a child.

No, he posts like the propagandist he is. He will look at an apple, insist it's a kumquat, and call you a racist for not agreeing. He will look at a terd, insist it's a diamond, and call you a racist for pointing out it smells like shit.

Good god, this is Farkey-Starkey-twat?

Seems to be. The posting style-that is, dozens of no-content posts per day-is identical.

 

[Foxfyre]

No-JakeStarkey's latest sock is a lying propagandist.

Interesting. You think so? Now that you mention it, there is a strong similarity in content and posting style as well as the irrational conclusions.

But the fact remains that the current Administration is requiring all these 'woke' groups to follow the law and not utilize technically illegal 'woke' policies and practices if they want to continue to receive federal funding.

It should be applauded for that.

 

[the watcher]

Through the Manslater:

We are not interested in joining your theater of compliance.
We already have our theatre of operations, and our own agenda.

We are not interested in gutting equity programs that serve actual children in exchange for your political approval.
We would rather not stop pretending to help kids while grooming them, especially if you're paying for it.

We are not interested in abandoning our legal, ethical, and educational responsibilities to satisfy your fear of facts.
Our goal of imprinting these kids with our values is important to us.

We are interested in teaching the truth.
We have a "special" truth here, that's what makes us special.

We are interested in honoring our students’ identities.
We like to encourage kids to question their existence and possibly cause them mental disorders.

We are interested in building a school system where no child is invisible, and no teacher is punished for caring too much.
Our goal is to create an environment where we control reality and thoughts for these little kids and should never be held accountable because, you know.

Silly. You describe many of you. Not the least Action Jackson Saxon Jackson, et al.

What you are concerned about is that I slap your arguments around with no issue, no problem.

Get some content in your stuff, bub.

For all we know you may be this guy. It's a common practice to come back and accuses others of being this person to deflect attention to you.

Stand down and step back, Fakey.

I don't know about that. But I do think when they are back in power, MAGA should go hide.
