No booze either. I drank a little here. I had to drive all over socal chasing medals and when I got home, I made myself Rum and Coke. Plus fast food was killing me as well as all the stress I put on myself to make it in socal. You know, keep up with the Jones? Any WHO, I'm looking for the UBI for every soul and true freedom from cheaters and liars. Math really did us hard this time.

Current view for the most part. Not claiming that its absolute at every institution of higher education but appears to be the predominate culture.
I hope your right in terms of an alternative; right now I don't see how it happens while occupying the same space. An alternative that is separate just causes more division...if I'm making any sense.
I think that article is wishful thinking by WSJ.p.s. here's more proof. MIT isn't immune from it either, nor are the sciences. Remember the fuss over Sumner's remarks about women and mathematics/stem. There's self-censorship in the sciences too, and COVID has blasted it out into the open...
Alumni Withhold Donations, Demand Colleges Enforce Free Speech
Driven by politically moderate or conservative baby boomers who believe progressive groupthink has taken over college campuses, some alumni groups urge schools to protect free speech, sometimes withholding donations as a pressure tactic.www.wsj.com
You won’t find me defending DEI programs, but I don’t see much pushback within the academy. Math and science will try to defend themselves by retreating into research and relying on blind peer review, which is a good policy anyway.
That's fine as long as they don't voice their opinions outside of math and science. By not defending DEI programs your math opinions may be silenced, as was the case below.

Agree, this is the key.
This scenario plays out every time power is consolidated and yet we continue to allow it to happen as if it will be different this time.
Omicron is here! Omicron is here! Panic everyone! In San Francisco no less (the city probably most likely to panic)

Agree - no way it occurs in the same space and it will cause more division.
I used to think he was intentionally obtuse for argumentative purposes, but I've come to the conclusion that its genetic. Obviously, I'm a little slow myself.

It’s not fine. You’re already starting to see the woke mob demand more black faces in math and science.That's fine as long as they don't voice their opinions outside of math and science. By not defending DEI programs your math opinions may be silenced, as was the case below.

Of course, their demand does not come with an army of tutors who want to sit down and teach fractions to curious 7 year old black kids. They want to skip that step.

That IS the sickest, most uneducated response I have witnessed in quite some time.

Biden shifts supply chain blame, points finger at Santa if gifts are late
"Now, I can’t promise that every person will get every gift they want on time," Biden said. "Only Santa Claus can keep that promise."

Fixed it for you.
Apparently you've not seen any of the krufuffle around charter schools. Privatization of public schools is about as divisive as it gets.
What kind of kerfuffle are you seeing up north? Charter schools aren't perfect but the existing high schools that converted to charter have given a lot of kids the opportunity to get out of really bad high schools, at least in San Diego. At the pre-high school level you see a few fly-by-night charter schools. The charter high schools in our area are comparable to the regular publics (except for sports where the charters are superior
) but far better than the schools where a lot of the kids come from.The biggest kerfuffle I hear is the crappy schools complaining that they are losing enrollment (aka $$$) to the better charter schools. Which to me is "too bad, so sad".
Breaking Rona News: White House will announce the strictest Covid rules ever tomorrow. Grace T, predictions on news coming out of DC? I got my rumor mill but not 100% confirmed yet.
In abortion News:
Sonia Sotomayor: "How is your interest anything but a religious view ... that's a religious view ... because it assumes that a fetus is life"
Well, let's not assume a fetus is not a life either. What a dumb dumb. Seriously, I told all my Science teachers and anyone who would listen that the fetus is human, alive, happy, has feelings and wants to be a part of life. Seriously, every kid conceived wants a chance to perform and have all the thrills life brings. 15 weeks to decide on life or death for baby is not asking for the whole house folks. Trust mem the fetus moving and sucking his thumb at this age. The fetus is not brain dead either like some people I know at this forum. These people are crazy and sick.

I have a very very good friend high up in education. The next level for him is to run for Office. Dude is the boss of all the bosses. He and a private equity group is starting a Neighborhood Teachers Group. Uber type teachers from the community. Each community has a few teachers who hate politics and can;t stand the office environment and will come to your house to teach your kids the basics. Some are looking to start neighborhood schools for those who would rather work 60 hours a week in an office and not teach their children from home. Non religious and just the basics for k-3. 4th-6th grade gets more into verticals of topics and subjects that the kids actually like. Once 7 and 8th grade comes around, kid is all ready to study for the future for his likes and interest. All this stuff about making a buck to keep up with the Jones is for the birds. UBI is coming for everyone!!!What kind of kerfuffle are you seeing up north?
