Lots of astroturfing going on out there...

Article rambles a lot towards the end, but still a useful wake up call on stealth candidates.

This is about the woman who had a bunch of Stanford U students talking about the pressure they felt when labeled gifted, but it is all better now that they are at Stanford and no longer have to deal with the label.

She's involved with the California push to stop having math as one of the main high school subjects, getting rid of the paths to calc in high school and getting rid of middle school algebra. She insists that innate giftedness is non-existent.

She also gets $5k/hour and threatened somebody who tweeted about it (but who didn't mention her name), claiming to have involved the police.

If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you.

All white school board is mulling changing school names BACK to Confederate generals.

These boards want ban fiction based on slavery because of the trauma it could cause to white children but give fuck all about the trauma to Black children of having their schools honoring the people who fought to keep slavery in place.

This a defense of white supremacy

Good news, bad news.

  Good to see some of the astroturfing is being rejected.  Parents want their kids to learn something and have critical thinking skills

  Sorry to see Virginia regressing, and suspect we'll see a lot of this slip sliding away across the South.  People who for most of their lives couldn't have given the tiniest shit about Stonewall Jackson and suddenly singing ballads about his gallantry.

The 3-member group t\hat turned down the book seems unclear on their reasons, but at least some of it was "we'd have to hear the government's side of it."
