    The official story that the Red Ranger being a Native American, the Yellow Ranger being Asian, etc… being an accident is plausible enough. Sure. Maybe someone who was involved with casting thought it would be funny and didn’t tell anyone?

    Harassing the gay actor out of the production should be the thing more people talk about.












  • I had a friend who tried sticking up for his students when the school’s Zero Tolerance Drug Policy™ meant that they couldn’t carry epipens around them. The Principal’s defense when he was told he was he was going to get sued for a wrongful death was “I’ve been sued before”. My friend was let go the following year and didn’t have the energy to sue.

    Considering the overall state of the US, I don’t think my anecdotes are exactly exceptions. Everything I’ve feared would happen is happening.


  • I got lied to about my placement tests for no one’s gain. I got stone walled and gaslighted every time I tried improving my situation.

    The most passion I ever heard from a teacher the was a rightwing asshole in my civics class when he was complaining about immigrants or welfare queens. My science teacher had to be asked directly about climate change for him to utter his take on that.





  • It wasn’t just banks.

    And black families were held back on the starting line on purpose.

    It wasn’t just Black families either.

    You also didn’t answer my question about how you handle families who came to America after slavery. You’ve made your answer simple by ignoring a lot of the issues I brought up. From a practical angle, it’s far easier to implement DEI. It also wouldn’t have to be implemented long term. It would only really be necessary for those with an unfair education. If you fix the public school system, you could retire DEI once those school kids enter the workforce.
