MSU has released an all new inclusivity guide so read up so you can avoid making an embarrassing Slur. The important words to use a few weeks ago are now slurs and you're racist/sexist/homophobe/transphobe if you use them now or ever did in the past...

Well, the text was: Theres nothing more beautiful and powerful than organized workers fighting for justice. We are writing a new chapter for LA Public Schools. Yes, you read that correctly, they didn't remember the apostrophe in "There's." Bear in mind this is a group of LA Teachers...

Literal cringe. What's especially hilarious to me is that they even limited who could respond to only people they follow or message, and yet even with it being set to "all sycophants" about ninety percent of the replies are about how cringe this is.

How fortunate, they're not treating it as a warning. They're treating it as a how-to guide.

Not just failure to diagram sentences, New York has figured out how to fix their hideously poor scores on basic math and english: lower the bar so that only getting half the answers right is an A...

Yeah, near as I can tell it vanished somewhere around 25 years ago. People in high school before that tend to have done it and everybody younger has no idea what a sentence diagram is. Diagramming was a bit of a Sudoku for us in High School, I can recall us doing challenges to each other to...

It's a way of essentially drawing a sentence, allowing you to establish the structure and where each word fits regardless of how it's actually worded. Assuming they each communicate the same idea, the diagram for several different sentence structures will look essentially the same. As...

Lingual Drift is a thing but I think people here are giving it too much credence. Sentence structure has not changed so much since then that the basic structure of verb and noun are different, students should still be able to realize what those are. Purely anecdotally I haven't met anybody...

Whoops. Here's a news article. https://tnc.news/2023/02/01/levy-school-valentines/

This is kinda interesting because of how ludicrously broad the ruling is. They're forbidding all Valentine's cards because some kids may not be able to afford cards. But there's nothing you can't ban under that reasoning. Ban sports because some kids are in wheelchairs; ban drawing because...

Standford's updated their Elimination of Harmful Language Initiative ie. their list of bad words and people have thoughts. https://s.wsj.net/public/resources/documents/stanfordlanguage.pdf Some choice bits include that American is now inappropriate (But Latinx should be used), the words He and...

Most of the registers where I live at are automated self-checkouts anyway, I'm not sure how many retail clerks are out there or how long that job is for this world anyway. Certainly not an argument for people's math skills.

Way past cringe and into blatantly illegal, an administrator admits he will never hire Catholics to work at his publically-funded school.

So, the entire Matt Walsh "What is a Woman" video is a decent watch. Apparently, it was under a massive and sustained DDoS attack to try to keep it from getting out, it was that harmful to work ideology. The whole thing is available though you need to register an account to see it. Posed with...

http://speakermoore.com/flash-cards-depicting-pregnant-man-used-wcpss-preschool-classroom-house-district-37/ Hmm, the thread doesn't list Preschool... is this the wrong cringe? Ah well. A preschool was caught using flashcards to teach colors to the children. Okay well and good but the...
