I know too many Mexicans to make that mistake :mrgreen:
Haha

How many Mexicans do you know?
My first 30 years were spent in California, couldn't have avoided them even if I'd wanted to. The six most common surnames in California, in order:

1)Garcia
2)Hernandez
3)Lopez
4)Smith
5)Martinez
6)Gonzales

Teachers, dentist, coaches, hardware store, Boy Scouts, Little League, Pop Warner. Half of everybody was Mexican and where I was born used to be Mexico. Got a buddy flying out here for the eclipse in April just to make sure the carnitas are done right

Oh no’s! They’re going to include all history. :ohno:
Public schools in Washington may soon be required to teach students about the contributions and history of LGBTQ+ people under a bill approved by the state Senate last week.

Senate Bill 5462 would mandate school districts in Washington adopt curricula that includes “diverse, equitable, inclusive, age-appropriate instructional materials” on historically marginalized and underrepresented groups.

That includes people of color, people with disabilities, people who are neurodiverse, and those from various religious backgrounds.

So teaching a more complete history is indoctrination?

Is that similar to using “alternative facts?”

At some point kids should learn how to think and analyze. The public education system used to be much better. What it is now is particularly destructive for blacks. This is one of the reasons caribbean blacks educated in let’s say Jamaica, do much better on test scores than American blacks.

https://www.daily-journal.com/opinion/c ... 5dc7a.html

“Back in the 1940s, before the vast expansion of the welfare state and the ideology of victimhood used to justify it, there was no such gap on test scores between black schools in Harlem and white, working class schools on New York's lower east side.”
