President Elon Musk: The Libertarian Patron Saint of Ron Paul

[mallister]

Lol what the actual fuck, man

[Shenrien]

is that good

If I understand it right; he wants to act as judge, jury and executioner-- y'know the whole dictator thing he tooted his horn about in his campaign. Yeah, that. That assumes my peanut brain can interpret what is said correctly.

I actually got my entire tax return instead of it getting my intercepted by department of education for outstanding federal student loans. Gonna go deposit that first thing tomorrow morning before Elon realizes his mistake.

Trump: "lol look the hurricane is going here now"
NOAA: "Actually that's not correct, you can't sharpie that because it doesn't fit the model."
Trump: "actually I'm president so by law all weather forecasts through the NOAA must now include my sharpie forecast."
NOAA: "Long live the sharpie."

So WMD level Saturday Night Massacre.
One was enough to end Nixon, so lets see how this goes.

Yeah first period is certainly earlier than 100+ years ago and it's directly related to kids not starving now.

6 years is hilarious though lol

From school parents the earliest I've heard is 9, not sure how late girls are starting but 12 sounds reasonable.

Without looking at any stats and going off of what I know/seen, I’d say 11-13 is average and after that it’s late.

Both my daughter and I started in 6th grade. We both had friends who had theirs already, and we both had friends who hadn’t yet.

Seems to track from what I know in my middle school, too ( I don’t have data, that’s weird. Just these girls will tell you everything whether I want to know or not).

He's a super genius, and don't you forget it.

I have been arguing nonstop on Reddit about this. I am amazed with the amount of teachers who don’t understand DEI doesn’t only mean affirmative action. And don’t get things like Black History month, ADA policies, SPED laws, and more fall under DEI.


I hate how CA hasn’t addressed these attacks yet ( he signed it today, but has been threatening it for weeks). Tomorrow I am having yet another parent meeting over a teacher’s pride flag. I know this is going to come up. In the past I just cited CA law about it, but I’m going to have to get guidance on how the hire ups want me to say it going forward.

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday he has instructed the Justice Department to terminate all remaining Biden-era U.S. attorneys, asserting that the department had been "politicized like never before."

Guess I gotta hand it into him! When he's right, he's right!

This is gonna be the issue for a long time. Trying to be politically correct in how teachers go about this when all they should be doing is saying the quality of our education isn't going to be affected by a rainbow flag.

But teachers and admin are too afraid to stand their ground or have that conversation.

Why do people think DEI is the same as affirmative action?

[arus2001]

Because they don't think colored people earn anything or can compete outside of sports.

[Krandor]

From what I've seen, most of the government is hitting everything with super broad strokes and just suspending/pausing anything that could remotely be perceived as DEI adjacent until they get actual clear instruction on what the hell the executive branch actually wants.

DHS has had occasional Civil Rights Awareness training as a required component for decades and that's been suspended while they "review policy and training material"

[Roranora]

gah. this thread sucks and i can’t handle it

how is this real life
