I was told this week, in no uncertain terms, that I am ignorant and hateful. And I can’t possibly be a real scientist. The reason for this is because of my use of the term “female” to describe one of the workers at our shop. “SHE’S NOT FEMALE, THAT’S ASSUMING GENDER!” “But she has two X chromosomes and always refers to herself as our ‘second daughter.'” “THAT IS IGNORANT AND HATEFUL! IF YOU WERE A REAL SCIENTIST, YOU’D KNOW THAT CHROMOSOMES HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH GENDER!” screamed at me with, no doubt, care and compassion. By a Gender Studies dropout. I was then informed that there’s over a hundred genders, and that new ones are being discovered every day on TikTok. And that before you start talking with anyone, you have to ask their gender and preferred pronouns. The screamer identifies as a They/He/She, which I found very confusing.
God, I love being in a college town.
That said, let’s do birthdays, which include a guy fond of zoos and organs; a guy who was into projection; a guy who was (((accused))); a guy whose birth was an event on the horizon; an OG drug dealer; a guy whose work was nothing to Bragg about; the only Scrooge who mattered; the first link in the chain that finished off Nixon; a pretty excellent woodwind player; half of the greatest songwriting duo in history; proof that shit floats to the top; arguably the best bass player in rock; and the NFLer who carried on the tradition of Mantan Moreland.
All that said, let’s now Link.
Honestly, I still don’t understand how any of this is a crime.
How about this crazy idea: CUT SPENDING.
The stupidity is not just ours.
This will be mentioned in next week’s Joemala.
It’s “Look at ME!!!” all the way down.
Old Guy Music today is a band I encountered in Austin. Shawn has written about three songs, with everything seeming to be a variant of one of those three. But they’re three fucking excellent songs.
Morning, OM. Have you been inundated by leaf-peepers?
Foliage is late this year
On the down hill side here, peaked a few days ago, Autumn leaves drift by my window, soon to be followed by the snows.
Good morning!
Did you ask if…whatever…identifies as a homeless drug addict? That seems to be a typical career path for gender studies dropouts.
Anyway, back to work. I have a machine room to power up. Yay!
Yeah, that was my thought – what does a gender studies drop out, other than scream at people randomly?
They couldn’t hack it as a gender studies major. Wow
TBF, I couldn’t hack it either. I’d have to be institutionalized if I had to swallow and regurgitate that garbage.
Sure but they/he/she chose it.
A dude named “Camille” after you open with the screaming gender-studies person? Confusing.
But, you know what other guy was also a fan of organs ?
Good morning Old Man
What some people call bribes others call incentives. I give incentives to wait staff and service people to remember me. Most times, however, they’d rather forget.
Your ears will be burning tomorrow. Spudalicious is in for several days, and I’ll be doing one of our standard desserts (Humboldt Fog wedges with sliced figs, drizzled with honey) using the best goddam honey I have ever tasted.
Friends aren’t like fish and relatives, friends last longer than three days. Good for you and Spud…
a Gender Studies dropout.
Good gravy. You couldn’t even make palatable dog food out of that.
I don’t know that I would have handled that gender incident as well. My response may have included a quip about how when society collapses, it’s morons such as her that are going to find their only usefulness as gagged breeding stock a la the Handmaids.
You take that and cross it with an incel and you’re on your way to morlocks.
I think I saw “Gagged Breeding Stock” open for the Indigo Girls.
Or maybe it was L7.
“That ’70s Show spin-off set in the ’90s coming to Netflix with some returning stars”
Without researching (cause Im a 6-pack in already) didn’t they try 1 spinoff as “That 80s Show” ?
Yes, yes they did.
One difference this time is they’re bringing back the parents as grandparents for one of the new kids (Red and Kitty Foreman… so at least we can look forward to a few “You’re a dumbass!” moments, one would hope).
Frankly, the original jumped the shark by season 5 — so I really think they’re beating a dead horse here — but Netflix seems to love doing that, so it is their money to waste. At least it isn’t a puff piece on the Obamas, I suppose….
And all I could think of for OMWC vs. Gender Dropout was “No soup for you!” — which is why I almost certainly couldn’t run a restaurant in a college town these days. Kick out half the idiot clientele….
yes, it’s mentioned in the article. But that was on at the same time as that 70s show. This one is nostalgia click bait. I never like the show, but Kurtwood Smith is always entertaining.
“Bitches, leave.”
Don’t forget he was in RoboCop and Dead Poets Society.
Nice. Clarence J. Boddicker is my second-favorite movie villian.
It always has been.
I think what they meant to say is “we’re all out of fresh ideas”.
Happy Days was filmed in the 70s, set in the 50s. That 70s Show was a nod to Happy Days and was filmed in the 90s-2000s, set in the 70s.
This figures to be more of the same. Nothing really new.
(I’m a sucker for The Wedding Singer movie’s 80s tributes—cracks me up every time)
Maybe it’s just me but the 50’s seemed alien to me even during the 70’s.
But the 90’s don’t seem all that different from current year. Subtract the cell phones and hair gel and you probably couldn’t tell the difference.
yoga pants.
And just in general, the amount of women who are built like swimsuit models these days, as compared to when I was in my prime, is astounding.
Probably a combo of the increase in working out plus better eating?
Somehow I don’t think Rhywun is paying attention to either of those things.
But to Rhys point, we have lived through both the nineties and now, which kinda makes them seem, well, seamless. But, as I was mentioning to the wife the other night, I love baggy pants. Corduroys to be exact, and they are anathema to the current fashion of skinny jeans.
Also, the sixties were such a change, with baby boomers coming of age between the ’50s and the ’70s. That was the real cultural dividing line.
Well I live right next to the “Gayborhood” in Philly and can tell you that dudes are tight as hell as well.
Ricardo Cortez was the ultimate Sam Spade.
(And there was that Bette Davis movie, Satan Met a Lady, in between.)
The screamer identifies as a They/He/She, which I found very confusing.
“Mongo? He’s more of a ‘what’ than a ‘who’.”
Don’t forget Patriot.
Also, watch Patriot if you haven’t seen Patriot.
Patriot was awesome.
Hey. Let me walk you through the Donnelly nut spacing and crack system rim-riding rip configuration…
OMG! Same symptoms as Covid. Joe’s got Covid! Give him another shot !
Dizzying rationale from the logic merry-go-round
Dorit Rubinstein Reiss, a professor of law at UC Hastings College of the Law, who has written about the legalities of vaccine mandates in law journals, told ABC News that earlier COVID-19 vaccine mandate lawsuits argued that the orders were unconstitutional since the three available vaccines were only authorized for emergency use by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
None ended up being successful, she said.
That argument lost ground in courts after the FDA fully approved the Pfizer vaccine in August, she noted.
“If you’re at the point where you are saying this is like the Nuremberg trials and the vaccines are experimental and could be dangerous, you don’t have a good example,” Reiss said.
Reiss said the reasonable accommodations provision of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 requires employers to make special accommodations to employees, such as those based on religious beliefs.
“It is a statutory right, not a constitutional right,” she said.
It’s not illegal if the President commands it.
It’s not experimental if the FDA says it’s not.
Rights are created and granted solely at the whim of the Executive branch.
These aren’t the droids you’re looking for.
“sorry, you need a better argument than ‘this shit would have gotten the entire bureaucracy hanged at Nuremberg'”.
Also. Pfizer has not received full FDA approval. Comirnaty (or whatever) did.

Betty Comden’s birthday is in May.
Must be either Rodgers or Hammerstein.
Seriously, though, L & McC apparently could only work their magic together. Never cared for either guy’s later efforts on their own, except for maybe the last part of “Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey.”
Not Peaches or Herb ?
I think there were six different Peaches over the years.
No love for Lorenz Hart?
In other news, i spent all of last week celebrating my birthday in strange ways including hunting goat head and khaki weed plants for hours on end in my back yard. Holy shit those things are evil. The goat head is proof that god isn’t all love and hugs. They’re absolute proof that at best he’s an indifferent trickster with a twisted sense of humor!
Also of note, weed killer doesn’t kill goat head or khaki weed plants. Hands, knees, rake and a wheel barrow are the go to tools. Also, make sure you have some kind of mechanical massager for when you try to get out of bed the next day.
You need a flame thrower.
True. But I’ll add that most people don’t realize that understanding how the plant reproduces and timing is everything. Killing a plant after it has sown seeds is useless. Same for plants that reproduce vegetatively (I.e., carbohydrate stores in the roots underground).Typically, but not always, it’s only helpful when the plant is in the growth phase, usually spring to early summer. Bottom line is research the best methods for each plant.

I hear you on the college town thing. I was born in a college town, grew up in a college town, and now, after 30 odd years away, I am college town adjacent. And not just “Town With College in It” but small towns that only live because they have a university. The hubris really needs to be clobbered by nemesis.
And now, the used bookstore is closing. Son of a Bitch!
“…but small towns that only live because they have a university.”
See also- any town or city near a military installation.
w/o fact-checking, Im pretty sure Wright-Patterson AFB is the largest employer in this region.
…especially since NCR and GM/Delphi bailed.
Hah….I used to invoice Delphi $200K+ annually, for emissions testing on their coal boilers.
I was a permatemp admin at the Interior & Lighting Systems engineering center in Vandalia until I got fed up with a problem co-worker (a direct-hire admin – not a lowly contractor) that management wouldn’t touch. That’s how I ended up in CU Land.

Every rule has its exception.
Could you repeat the question?
“It will be easier for courts to point at the losses and make it easier to reject the new ones,” Cohen said. “I think you’ll see fewer attorneys taking up those cases too.”
Reiss added that the mandates have shown to increase vaccination rates in public and private companies, especially in the days leading up to their employer’s compliance deadline. In most cases, such as hospital systems in New York, North Carolina and California, vaccine rates among staff ended up over 95% when the deadline came.
“The mandates will have some impact regardless of what happens in the courts,” Reiss said.
If we keep tossing these legal challenges out, eventually the plebs (and their attorneys) will grow despondent and submit to the yoke.
Forcing people to get vaccinated by threatening their livelihood results in more vaccinations.
And he disappears up his own asshole in a veritable circular reasoning coup de grace.
It’s like brain science or something. Us mere mortals wouldn’t understand.

How to lie with stats 101. If your company is 70/30, and you fire most of the unvaccinated workers, you now have 95% compliances! Coercion *does* work

Remus wrote in the letter that the request comes amid “unique and extraordinary circumstances.”
“Congress is examining an assault on our Constitution and democratic institutions provoked and fanned by those sworn to protect them, and the conduct under investigation extends far beyond typical deliberations concerning the proper discharge of the President’s constitutional responsibilities,” Remus wrote. “The constitutional protections of executive privilege should not be used to shield, from Congress or the public, information that reflects a clear and apparent effort to subvert the Constitution itself.”
We were seconds away from a coup and the complete usurpation of Constitutional government.
But now the dark shadow of authoritarianism has been lifted. God bless America!

This is New York. It matters not if the person is flaming incompetent or even dishonest- termination will be a remarkably drawn out and expensive process that will still land you in court.

Regarding the prohibition against even discreet Jewish prayer at the Temple Mount:
A “flare up”? Some sort of spontaneous chemical reaction that happens when (((they))) stand quietly and reflect?
Or are they referring to the completely involuntary violent overreaction by adherents to the Religion of Peace (TM)? Because naturally the judge wouldn’t want to focus on the actual crime; focusing on the thought crime is far less likely to get the judge killed.
Full faith and credit
Since coming into office, Biden’s administration has canceled billions in student debt, but only in certain cases. For instance, $1.1 billion in debt was canceled recently for borrowers who attended the now-defunct ITT under the current “borrower defense to repayment” program after officials said the institution misled students about grant aid.
During his campaign, Biden said he would eliminate student debt for borrowers who come from a family making less than $125,000 and went to a public university.
“You get all these degrees and you get all this debt, and you get in a position where you can’t get a job because no one is hiring, or they’re hiring at very low wages … I’m going to eliminate your student debt if you come from a family [making less] than $125,000 and went to a public university,” he said in October 2020.
Biden has also previously said he was “prepared to write off $10,000” in student loan debt, though many in his party have called on him to cancel up to $50,000.
We tear up our obligations. We repudiate our debts. It’s who we are.
Coming soon: rebates to the kids who worked their way through college. Right?
*points at Ghostpatzer*
Lookit the comedian over here.
On the bright side, it might create a few more Glibertarians.
Thus creating new perverse incentives to get useless degrees that the market doesn’t want.
Mike Rowe:

Now I get the screeching resentment from the ranks of the offspring of the affluent. They see such people and it compounds their own misery.
“where you can’t get a job because no one is hiring, or they’re hiring at very low wages ”
This is the polar opposite of reality in 2021. FFS.
Everything they say and do is predicated on lies.
$15/hr is no longer a living wage! Fight for $50/hr!
Just like taxing the rich is all about their fair share, the real amount is never enough.
Now do the debt ceiling.

Pork chop Normandy style: served with an apple flavored cream sauce (ready in 30 minute)

does cream sauce work with pork or is it too much?
Why yes, yes it does.
That recipe calls for veal, not pork.
Doh! We always use pork for schnitzels. I don’t think I’ve had veal at home since living in Germany.

Difficult to glib from the dog park. There is a dog here wearing a legit cowbell.

The slang term here is “berner,” which is odd since I don’t think any of them have been to Nevada.
In Nevada, they call them Basque.
Don’t get saucy with me!
What the dog park needs is MORE COWBELL!
They let the dog off leash in the woods and use the bell to keep track of him.
Smart but annoying.
“This authority is already being put to use, as it is currently being used to cancel the interest owed on all federally-held student loans. Now it is time for you to honor your campaign pledge and use this authority to cancel all student debt,” lawmakers wrote in their letter to Biden on Friday.
“With a single signature, you can improve the economy, create new jobs, transform the lives of 45 million Americans, narrow the racial wealth gap, and maintain the trust of voters,” they wrote.
W’d be crazy not to.
WHEEEEEEEE!
“maintain the trust of voters”
*falls out of chair*
The correct voters.
“and maintain the trust of voters,” they wrote.”
Just not the trust of would-be creditors. What could possibly go wrong?!?

The Varsity Blues crime was subversion of the meritocracy! It corrupted the noble practice of selective college admissions. And dammit they were doing it on the cheap – if you want your legacy spawn accepted, you donate enough to fund an endowed chair or construct a new building. If you can’t understand the heinous nature of that it is little wonder you think Jan 6th was just a protest gone wrong and not an existential threat to our glorious system (and persons) of governance!
If you wanted your kid to be accepted to Harvard with lousy grades you should have made sure xe was a deaf-mute minority in a wheel-chair.
Or had the correct political views, a la David Hogg.
And ask Dr. Chet how donating to one’s alma mater helps in getting one’s kid accepted for admission.
This is actually true — chromosomes determine biological sex. “Gender” is akin to “unicorn”, or “government fiscal responsibility”, i.e., it doesn’t exist.
it doesn’t exist. – nonsense. in proper languages nouns have gender
Which leads to this conundrum:
https://non-aliencreatures.fandom.com/wiki/Were-Cow
“Interestingly, the prefix “Were” is traditionally masculine, whereas “Cow” denotes a female bovine. It’s not known whether all Were-Cows are female or whether a male human afflicted with this condition would change gender during the transformation. ”
Ponder that.
Werefolk are icky wither way need to be hunted down
Zombie Were-Butts or GTFO
Narrator: “In English, nouns don’t have gender”.
Which isn’t to say we don’t call damn near everything “she”. Nature, ships, countries, concepts….
Perfect riposte: As a scientist, I’ve seen chromosome damage. It isn’t pretty.
True but that crowd has been deliberately pushing “gender” as a euphemism for “sex” for decades. Now it means whatever is convenient for the “argument” at hand.
Our new obsession: Saperavi. I think it might also be the name of one of the genders.
From Georgia the country or Georgia the state? Or the local stuff American vineyards shamefully appropriated?

“(CNN)Nearly two weeks after a racist petition to bring back slavery circulated at her daughter’s school, Julie Stutterheim is still angry.”
Jonathan Swift has a sad.
“a petition to bring back slavery”
It’s just the democratic process!
I like how they had to throw “racist” in that line. People might have thought it was a nonracist petition to bring back slavery.
Well, if it was a petition for labor camps for the unvaccinated and those who deny SCIENCE! or DEMOCRACY! it would have been fine.
I’m certain you could get someone to defend enslaving white people as not racist
“THAT IS IGNORANT AND HATEFUL! IF YOU WERE A REAL SCIENTIST, YOU’D KNOW THAT CHROMOSOMES HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH GENDER!”
And I supposed skin color has nothing to do with race.
Cannon fodder in the War on Objective Reality.
“two weeks after a FAKE racist petition to bring back slavery circulated at her daughter’s school, Julie Stutterheim is still angry”

Yeah, it’s probably already been revealed as a hoax but CNN will never bother its readership with such trivialities.
Well as the temperature in my house dipped to 16 C I turned on the heat.

Never forget that Chuck Schumer made excuses for the FBI and ATF agents during the Congressional hearing on the slaughter of American citizens at the Branch Davidian church.

White House press secretary Jen Psaki was grilled Friday about President Biden’s poor polling numbers.
Psaki placed at least some of the blame on Americans “who’ve decided not to get vaccinated.”
When in doubt, blame the Unclean.
Well, she’s not wrong. People who don’t want the vax don’t want Biden either.
Reminds me of all the conflation the media does between brainless Trump supporters and people who don’t want the clotshot, while they conveniently forget to mention that Trump is one of the biggest cheerleaders for this vaccine. IIRC, he mentioned at a rally that everyone should get vaccinated and he was boo’ed.
So the vaccine makes people approve of Biden? That is a weird side-effect.
Man, this word salad is sports writing now?
That’s quite the non sequitur.
This whole thing is over a WS Journal story (may be pawalled?) That only quotes that one line of an e-mail from 10 years ago. WTF is the context? Don’t know.

Only the best fake news ever! Done on the fly too.
So, I find myself with an abundance of super hot peppers at the end of the season. I’ve shared some and put more than enough away in the freezer, to the point of being low on space.
I can share one, maybe more, care package to a fellow hot pepper aficionado. Anyone interested?
Warning, these are super hot ?.
Limited to 48 states only. No Tulpas.

I don’t want some weird Customs Agricultural Swat team on my door step.
Oddly enough, for hot peppers it’s a SWAT team made up all the firehouse chili winners from around the country. Asset Forfeiture for the (chili cook-off) Win!
Hell, you already have my address. I’ll take any these other folk won’t.
I’m mostly out of Ghosts. These are the next tier up and hotter. That ok?
Yikes! You got a formula for anti-antifa pepper spray? That stuff sounds painful.
🙂 Hell yes.
?
Have you dried any?
Nope. I already have a bag of dried Carolina reapers in the pantry “for emergency use”.
Tempting, but I just got a quart bag full of Birdseye chiles from the Thai market in town and that’s gonna tide me over for a while.
Sure, I’d be interested if they aren’t already claimed.
Tragedy and heartbreak
While some groves may have received only patchy fire damage and will recover, every burned giant sequoia is a loss, Brigham said.
“When you stand by a tree that big and that old, 1,000 to 2,000 years old, the loss of any is a heartbreak,” she said. “You can’t get it back, it’s irreplaceable.”
Nothing should ever change.
Trees aren’t replaceable? Huh.
NOT IN MY LIFETIME! It’s like you’re saying me and my feelings aren’t the center of the universe.
Killing the Big Tree lobby makes room for all the Bespoke Seedlings. Equal sunlight for all!
Predictable. Almost as predictable.
TBF, if forest fires were allowed to burn as they have in the past, the trees wouldn’t be killed very often. Only extreme intensity fires can kill sequoias. The massive build up of fuel is the cause.
You can probably sell old growth redwood by the pound. Any trees that were killed are worth a fortune. I’ve seen old growth redwood, and it is gorgeous.
They’ll probably be landfilled, though.
Same mentality that leads American lefties to whine about Cuba being potentially “spoiled by capitalism” or primitive peoples leaving the stone age standard of living and adopting modern technology. They want the world to be their personal museum so they can spend vacation there and then come back to their luxurious homes full of high-tech conveniences powered by fossil fuels.

I may have or may have not went and shot guns yesterday. Here any blm land is open for blamming away.

Blonde Hippy Ponies. It’s an insult worse than Dog-faced Pony Soldier.
Aaaaah. got it.
I am surprised that BLM hasn’t said “Look, you can shoot here but see how irresponsible you all are? Just dumping your shit all over the place; no shooting allowed”
Happens here too. People will take out TVs and shit and shoot em. I get it. Do that. But clean up after yourself you idiots.
On the college bribery thing, I believe the prosecution revolves around tax fraud. The whole plan was bizarre but if you’re going to make 6-figure lies to the IRS, that’s piling on the stupidity.
Nothing about tax fraud – at least not yet. That should have been the easiest charge to prove, vice the cheap moralizing the prosecutor has been campaigning on.
True, but also:
“On a phone call where Abdelaziz is heard saying, “Sabrina is loving USC!” Singer also is heard saying, “I’m not going to tell the IRS that your $300,000 was paid to Donna Heinel at USC to get Sabrina into school even though she wasn’t a legitimate basketball player at that level.”
“You’re OK with that right?” Singer asked.
“Of course,” Abdelaziz replied.
“I’m going to say your $300,000 payment was made to our foundation to help underserved kids,” Singer said. “I just want to make sure you’re OK with that.”
“I am,” Abdelaziz replied.”
Oh I hear you, but that isn’t the charge.
Did shift on no sleep got home made four sandwiches even though only two intended eat all four fall asleep on couch get up shower accidentally pull stitches in gum holy flowerbed ouch this will never heal sit in damp towel watching the same youtube video I fell asleep during previously it was okay go to bed shortly repeat but just like that I’m down to part time which should help move me along in the right direction I’m just glad I managed about 30 minutes of poor quality sleep that should carry me through until tomorrow
You may either be pregnant or going through menopause. When was the last time you had a period?

So perfect for the post preview and intro.
Tomorrow tomorrow or today tomorrow?
Yesterday’s Tomorrow.
I thought that was Straff or IFH.
No, Straff is in Today’s Tomorrow.
Or maybe it’s tomorrow’s yesterday. Time travel gets me all confused.
I guess John Titor finally made it home.
You need to drink more. helps me

The hell with Escape from LA, we really need to wall off California.
Let it burn
Plus this.
California Makes ‘Stealthing,’ or Removing Condom Without Consent, Illegal
Because I’m sure current laws and specifically sexual assault laws had no way in which to deal with this.
No need to wall it off. It’s filled with traitors and invaders. Why should the USA give it up to the enemy?
Option B: Neutron Bombs. About a dozen should do it.
I’ll take in a Glib refugee family, if necessary.
Ethereal, just fucking ethereal.
What a beautiful morning in Vegas. We are at the temps that are absolutely perfect. Low 50s at night and 70s-low 80s day.
It’s FIL bday so cupcake baking and buttercream mixing in store along with a supper for the old man. Wife is making 40 cupcakes to shape like the big 7 0. Nowhere enough people to eat 40 cupcakes but that isn’t the point.
When I moved out there from Wisconsin I didn’t take a winter coat. But apparently I adapt quickly. When it hit 70 I went and bought a winter coat.

Does the supreme court refusing to hear a case count as precedent?
So the vaccine makes people approve of Biden? That is a weird side-effect.
According to an article about the California recall, it turns you into a Democrat who hates uppity black folk what don’t know their proper place on the political spectrum.
Sounds legit.
Apparently 24h of rain followed by above-50 degree temperatures results in late-season mosquito hordes. Fuck you global worming!
Back to the debate over whether or not air filters in your central air/heating do anything for your home air:
I did my quarterly swap this week. Today was the first day since May that I didn’t completely fill the vacuum’s dust cup.
Ofc, maybe the vacuum is just broken.
Maybe your dog is shedding less in the cooler weather?
On the other hand, I have a boiler system, not a forced air system, and dust in this place is insane.
She had a burst of shedding coincident with getting spayed, but otherwise she doesn’t shed very much.
It’s not about filtering the air you breathe. The allergen filters do nothing except increase back pressure on your system.
It’s about keeping the HVAC ducts and air exchanger cleaner and less prone to mold growth.
I respect democracy and therefore will respect the results of that high school petition. So, what were the results? For some reason that was left out of the article.
All these gender things are too confusing. I say we call people by the object that makes them orgasm.
So Princess Manko?
It’s Princess Chloroform, thank you very much!
Whatever you say Godzilla.
sock/socks?
To weigh in extremely belatedly on the Texas law on what books can be in public schools: The law is intended to end teaching CRT – aka “white people are inherently evil theory”. Except they broadened it to prohibit teaching that any race is inherently evil.
I don’t think it is necessarily censorship for schools to set standards for what types of books can be purchased using taxpayer money – unless you think there should be no standards whatsoever. And prohibiting teaching straight up racism seems like an appropriate standard.
The stupid thing is that CRT already meets the definition of racism under existing laws, but the “progressives” have invented this notion that wypipo cannot be the victim of racism.
