This isn’t NASCAR. People aren’t equal.

so if they fail, the scores can be cured.

this is like when they lower admission standards.

“white men disappear from advertising?” They exist but usually as the dunce. I mentioned recently here that I saw an ad for Capital One and a black guy starts his sentence to a female with “Boss...” and then later a feminized white male says to the woman that he saw another employee use staples for a non-business issue. The fact that “Boss...” was said in that manner is obvious. Another ad shows a black female in an office as the boss “putting out fires” including a white guy. And where do I begin with Progressive Insurance? A white guy, there, too, lit himself on fire. I guess the only way to get a message across is to get the white male. It verifies for me that liberalism is a mental disorder and confirms who are the true racists and sexists in society.

I made a choice to give up television. It was personally insulting the me, my religion, my country, my politics, my beliefs...

I didn’t need it. It was a toxin I didn’t need in my daily life.

I dropped cable years before that

Just dropped it last week. Now my FIL can sleep in front of over-the-air TV.

Also ported the phone over to a cheap add-on to our cell phone account, leaving only Internet coming in through cable.

Poor Cox lost a bundle. So to speak.

Fifty percent hasn't always been the norm. In 2000, the University of Wisconsin - Madison simply Photoshopped in a single black student to show its diversity.

That is quite funny-—glad they got caught.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the “other” articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

The marginalization of “White” people continues unabated. Apparently, segregation is good when the left does it. I have to wonder if the non-whites get their own classes with different (perhaps lowered) standards than traditional AP classes. Otherwise, why not push them to compete on a level playing field? I mean, AP classes are supposed to prepare students for the competitive grown-up world, aren’t they? Competition builds excellence.

So, “No Whites Allowed” is now somehow not “racist”?
