Besides the fact that diversity, equality and inclusion essentially means “fairness” which is something everyone should be behind, what they’re doing is forcing institutions to expend time, energy and resources to defend their polices.

It will reduce the schools’ ability to address these and other essential needs for students, like school lunches and actual education.

Thanks, non-Kamala voters.

@TonyStark I'm feeling like a blamer lately myself. People 1) still punching down on the dems, or 2) the people outside the USA that group USA voters together while ignoring the international cabal of illiberal rich people that attacked our election, they are really getting on my nerves. Some of those illiberal rich are even from the countries of those people blasting us for putting Trump in power.

@timo21 Can’t argue with that.

First, I obviously agree about the Democrat-blaming. As we’ve said many times around here, they can’t use power they don’t have and on top of that, I’ve seen some big accounts actually telling lies about that and the past.

Second, I’m also annoyed at the people outside the USA grouping us all together. I am unpleasantly surprised about that.

And yes, how people are forgetting that last part is really…interesting.

@TonyStark

Stereotyping often leads to prejudice and discrimination.

Americans do it constantly with their “Ok, Boomer”.

Put that kind of thinking on a Cartesian plot. Their Y value will always equal 1 no matter the X value.

I call it flatline thinking. They are flatliners.

I am not surprised.
