Colorado school district pays six figures to professional race hustler to tell kids how racist they are.
Monte Moses, superintendent of Cherry Creek School District.
Cherry Creek school district has embraced a program aimed at boosting achievement among blacks and Hispanics. The problem is that this program is one of mind-control and reverse racism. Superintendent Monte Moses has hired professional race-hustler and certified loonbag Glenn E. Singleton to close the achievement gap. Singleton’s theory is that all of the educational problems concerning blacks and Hispanics can be boiled down to – you guessed it – racism!
Singleton rants about ìinstitutionalized racismî in his book Courageous Conversations About Race. White teachers, and – get this – minority teachers “co-opted into the white power structure” are racist by virtue of not understanding the “special ways that blacks and Hispanics communicate.” Conflating race and culture? Yes, please.
Cherry Creek paid Singleton a six-figure fee for his services and Superintendent Moses wrote an endorsement blurb for the book. And the program of “equity teams” and “courageous conversations” is being implemented in district schools. Moses is a staunch proponent of Singletonís conspiracy theories and your tax dollars are subsidizing them.
In a state already short on money, $50 million to be spent on “suicide net” for Golden Gate Bridge.
SAN FRANCISCO – The Golden Gate Bridge Highway and Transportation District’s Board of Directors is moving ahead on a proposed $50 million net system beneath the bridge that is intended to deter suicides.
The state of California and its municipalities are facing a severe budget shortfall and nonetheless are spending $50 million on a project which is not only frivolous but impedes Darwin from doing his job and citizens from electing to end their lives. Furthermore, the bridge, a renowned landmark, will be visually fouled by the giant safety net.
Eve Meyer, executive director of San Francisco Suicide Prevention praised the board this morning for proceeding with the net system.
Missouri and Kansas lawmakers aren’t content to ban weed. Working on banning legal weed substitute.
Jeff Roorda, anti-pot screwball. Sure looks stoned to me...
JEFFERSON CITY, MO – Lawmakers in Missouri and Kansas are considering creating more laws in order to ban a product called K2. K2 is a mixture of herbs and spices sprayed with a synthetic compound with similar properties to THC, the active ingredient in cannabis.
A proposed bill in Missouri, sponsored by the well known screwball, state Rep. Jeff Roorda (D-MO), would make possession a felony punishable by up to seven years in prison – identical to punishments given to users of real marijuana. A similar bill in Kansas would make possession a misdemeanor punishable, with up to a year in jail and a $2,500 fine, also the same as marijuana convictions.
If K2 is in fact harmful, the obvious solution is to legalize its safe, natural alternative – marijuana. But thatís the kind of logical, rational maneuver of which hysterical politicians and corrupt pseudogovernment corporations could not conceive.
Public school spies on its students using laptop cameras. Sci-fi? Nope!
New York Fed wanted to get national security-level secrecy on AIG bailout documents before submitting it to the SEC.
Officials at the New York Fed did not want AIG to submit a critical bailout-related document to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission without getting assurances from the regulatory agency that “special security procedures” would be used to handle the document. How special? The AIG’s bailout filing would be kept “in a special area where national security related files are kept.” The New York Fed has gone to great lengths to keep the terms of the bailout secret from the American tax payers whose hard-earned money is being funneled into this boondoggle.
Car-hating Seattle government forbids Safeway from using its parking lot as light-rail park & ride.
In south Seattle, where the newly-launched light rail system runs, a Safeway grocery store sits near Othello station. The Safeway has a sizable parking lot which is not heavily used during the day. Thus, the store can make a profit and benefit riders by selling daily parking for transit riders. The plan seemed to work for everyone… except the city of Seattle which ordered a halt to the program. This provides further evidence that Seattle anti-car lunatics have taken over the asylum. Earl Blumenauer is surely touching himself right now.
School evacuated over science project mistaken for a bomb.
On Jan 15th 2010, a “concerned vice principal” prompted the evacuation of Millennial Tech Magnet Middle School in San Diego. The reason? A student’s science project resembled a bomb. An arson team took photos and X-rays of the empty plastic bottle with wires and determined it was harmless. The mysterious device was in fact a home-built motion detector. The culture of irrational hysteria being promoted by school functionaries is nothing new, but this is still amazing in its stupidity.
No more spitting allowed in Seattle parks!
The Seattle Parks and Recreation Commission is considering a new code of conduct to be determined on January 28, 2010 that will ban spitting from public parks. One loogie can get a person banned for a day from the park. One more step Seattle is taking toward becoming the authoritarian capital of the nation.
Woman charged with “disorderly conduct” for cursing out a school official.
At a school board seminar, Cindy Schwalb, accused a boy in her 13-year-old daughter’s class of pulling down the girl’s pants in front of other students at Hasbrouck Heights Middle School. Schwalb became upset when the incident didn’t receive as much attention as she would have liked. The district superintendent’s response was to ask her whether her daughter was wearing a thong at the time of the incident. This obviously made her even more upset.
After the meeting, Schwalb cursed out the school’s principal, Edward Bocar, but then apologized and left. Nevertheless, Schwalb is being charged with the non-crime of disorderly conduct.
Thanks Jessica!
Anyone with information on what jurisdiction is charging Ms. Schwalb, please send in the information for free merchandise.
Political correctness strikes again in Washington! Poor kids aren’t “at risk”. They’re “at hope”.
Rosa Franklin (D-WA). Wants to call it "at hope".
State Senator Rosa Franklin (D-Tacoma) proposes that Washington strike all instances of the term “at risk” from its legislative text and replace it with “at hope”. “At risk” is seen as too negative. The proposal would cost $3500 to implement. $3500 that would be better spent on buying a gag for Senator Franklin.
