We learned it from you all, you silly SOB, you. You did precisely that to Trump when he made President. Now, you can't stand the gaffe. Tough , get out of the in' way, you pansy ass SOB, you.
man you have a way of making the Democrats sound cooler than what they actually are.
Hey, Fizz, they were selling your in South Florida.
watering down standards to admit mediocre men
https://www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com...ender-politicsSomeone in comments below pointed out that Ron DeSantis was an affirmative action baseball recruit at Yale. Funny you should mention that, because as Mic e Goldberg observes Christopher Rufo is turning the New College into a massive affirmative action program for male jocks, with a commensurate watering down of academic standards:
To state the obvious, recruiting 70 (!) baseball players for a theoretical team that currently doesn’t have a stadium to play in isn’t about baseball per se. It’s about turing the school into a campus of Ron DeSantises:Rufo speaks a lot about academic excellence and the virtues of a classical liberal education. But as Steven Walker of The Sarasota Herald-Tribune reported in a damning July story, the incoming class recruited by the new administration has lower average grades, SAT scores and ACT scores than last year’s class. “Much of the drop in average scores can be attributed to incoming student-athletes who, despite scoring worse on average, have earned a disproportionate number of the school’s $10,000-per-year merit-based scholarships,” wrote Walker.
As of July, New College had 328 incoming students, a record for the school. Of the group, 115 are athletes, and 70 were recruited to play baseball, even though, as Walker reported, New College has no real sports facilities and has yet to be accepted into the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics. By comparison, the University of Florida’s far more established baseball team has 37 student-athletes.
...Some new students may well end up immersing themselves in the great works of the Western canon. But last week, New College’s interim president, Richard Corcoran, a longtime Republican politician who served as DeSantis’s education commissioner, sent a memo to faculty members, proposing new majors in finance, communications and sports psychology, “which will appeal to many of our newly admitted athletes.” As Amy Reid, a New College professor of French who directs the gender studies department, said when I spoke to her last weekend, “Tell me how sports psychology, finance and communications fits with a classical liberal arts model.”
Rather than reviving some traditional model of academic excellence, then, it looks as though New College leaders are simply trying to replace a culture they find politically hostile with one meant to be more congenial. The end of gender studies and the special treatment given to incoming athletes are part of the same project, masculinizing a place that had been heavily feminist, artsy and . When I spoke to Rufo last weekend, he offered several explanations for New College’s new emphasis on sports, including the classical idea that a healthy body sustains a healthy mind. But an important part of the investment in athletics, he said, is that it is a way to make New College more male and, by extension, less left wing.
In the past, about two-thirds of New College’s students were women. “This is a wildly out-of-balance student population, and it caused all sorts of cultural problems,” said Rufo. Having so many more women than men, he said, turned New College into “what many have called a social justice ghetto.” The new leadership, he said, is “rebalancing the ratio of students” in the hopes of ultimately achieving gender parity.
But gender parity is not necessarily compatible with a pure academic meritocracy, which Rufo claims to prize. Women are outpacing men in education in many parts of the world, including Saudi Arabia and Iran. In Hungary, nearly 55 percent of university students are women, leading the government to warn about the “feminization” of higher education. Selective American colleges tend to have more female than male applicants; to maintain something approaching a gender balance, some have adopted lower standards for men. In other words, it often takes deliberate intervention — one might call it affirmative action — to create a student body in which women don’t predominate. New College isn’t jettisoning gender ideology. It’s just adopting a different one.
I have a hard time seeing the advantage of being male in chess, can someone walk me through that? This looks like bigoted exclusion without any rational basis.
(FIDE does have open tournaments, so the exclusion isn't total.)
https://www.courthousenews.com/world...womens-events/“Change of gender is a change that has a significant impact on a player’s status and future eligibility to tournaments, therefore it can only be made if there is a relevant proof of the change provided,” the federation said.
“In the event that the gender was changed from a male to a female the player has no right to participate in official FIDE events for women until further FIDE’s decision is made,” it said.
Holders of women's les who change their genders to male would see those les “abolished,” the federation said, while holding out the possibility of a reinstatement “if the person changes the gender back to a woman.”
“If a player has changed the gender from a man into a woman, all the previous les remain eligible,” the federation said.
Who hired him? Was it THEY?
"Some on social media criticized..."
Holy , huge news. It's almost like his book is being banned from libraries.
Closing the public library because there's one book some of y'all don't like, is that cancel culture? Is that how y'all create safe spaces?
These suckers fall for the fake outrage every time
You've nary room, DJ. Hussein called Putin everything but a White Man, then met with him face-to-face and assured him a deal would happen once he got re-elected.
These suckers fall for the fake outrage every time
Fake news
You know that not to be true, there is video of it, but you/your side can never, ever be wrong, DJ. You couldn't bear it. You were wrong to leave the lock off the door and Trump snuck in, made President. Instead of putting out a memo about said lock and then brazening it out for 4 years, you know what you did, DJ? You ed him over every day that ended in (y). You planted a story about him getting pissed on by Russian women in Russia, met him at the door to the White House with it on his first day in office. You burn't upper Western seaboard down. You threatened to blow him up, shoot him to death, literally begged his wife to forsake him and when she wouldn't obey you cast her down as an illegal alien and disowned her. All because you didn't get your way Election Night '16.
That squattin' in the White House is one of the ring leaders of your mob, that in' animal, that , that punk, that creep.
Understood.
it's not enough merely piss off the libs, you can get cancelled for not being racist enough
This is what liberals defunding the police in big cities looks like, approximately 100% of the time
LAPD got a $1b budget and a 13% raise for new recruits.
?
What do you mean 100%. The philosophical motive to replace street cops (some with military combat experience) with social workers/counselors is an interesting strategy and does work in some situations. It's a tactic copied from Scandinavia. But the change was done too quickly, rooted in social unrest and the remaining Police were publicly ridiculed. Recipe for disaster. Could work at a smaller scale or even at a different period of time.
Newsflash: what you're talking about didn't happen except for a couple of places, on a very limited basis. If there's any shortage of police officers in the USA, it's because they quit, retired or died of COVID.
Suggesting that cops have been replaced by social workers in any great numbers is wildly inaccurate. Almost everywhere, police budgets have risen since 2020 -- even in cities run by progressive Dems.
Increased after the fact. Then you are stating these progressive politicians lied.
You know as much about how government works as you do Polish history.
Following me around like a lil puppy dog. Here you go I acknowledged you.
I don't recall that very many of them ran on promises to defend the police, but it's certainly true that they haven't.
