Matt Taibi vs. Fed Education

This is public school bureaucracy run amok. It cost Democrats the governorship in Virginia, will cost them in midterms next year, and maybe the presidency after that. But sure, it doesn’t mean anything. https://t.co/4N8G7tHEvf

This is so frustrating – it was not just white voters. Ask the South Asian residents of Loudoun how they feel about this “nonsense.” I watched lifetime Democrats change their votes. https://t.co/1OVdwCWS89

Asian and South Asian kids in Loudoun were 20% of the school population but roughly 70% of the gifted students. Race-blind admissions based on tests and grades is now over and those kids will be disenfranchised. You think that’s a manufactured issue for those families? https://t.co/WrXNrdpEay

The point of the series I just wrote on Loudoun is that “CRT” was at most a minor sideshow to things that really pissed off parents – like changes to gifted admissions programs (that screwed over the Asian kids), proposed speech bans, the “Equity Ambassador” snitch program, etc. https://t.co/KXsuhnnxVC

Admissions to the Thomas Jefferson high program in 2019, before changes, was: 71.5% Asian, 19.48% White, 2.6% Hispanic, 1.72% Black, and 4.70% other. Apart from Asians, all the groups were fairly similarly underrepresented compared to their share of the population. https://t.co/ihNXLKgjqM

As someone who works with this cohort of kids in Loudoun County — you are totally correct. The state is making posters saying not to worry about taking challenging math which is absolutely the opposite mindset of the parents.

It's one thing to tell voters they need to defer to "experts" in economics, foreign policy, and medical science. But parenting? Why elitist attitudes about education are destined to fail politically:https://t.co/oEVhS3tXAH

As I continue to participate on the Callin Podcasting app, I get to cross paths with some unbelievably intelligent and well spoken people. The other day I clicked into a live stream hosted by Wesley Yang.

He was talking to Darryl Cooper. I was riveted by what they were saying and called in to the show to participate. How joyful to have twenty minutes of respectful conversation!

I grabbed our chat and embedded it into this video and included screenshots of Darryl’s Tweet thread, because yes, he is THAT GUY who crafted THAT THREAD.

Here is a clip of our chat.

I think I've had discussions w/enough Boomer-tier Trump supporters who believe the 2020 election was fraudulent to extract a general theory about their perspective. It is also the perspective of most of the people at the Capitol on 1/6, and probably even Trump himself. 1/x
