Federal judge blocks Trump push to cut funding to public schools over diversity programs

She said the April letter does not make clear what the department believes a DEI program entails or when it believes such programs cross the line into violating civil rights law. “The Letter does not even define what a ‘DEI program’ is,” McCafferty wrote.

The judge also said there is reason to believe the department's actions amount to a violation of teachers' free speech rights.

“A professor runs afoul of the 2025 Letter if she expresses the view in her teaching that structural racism exists in America, but does not do so if she denies structural racism’s existence. That is textbook viewpoint discrimination,” McCafferty wrote.

Im not seeing much mojo in a lot of young males today

I used to tell my son when you walk into the school, you walk like Travolta in the opening scene of Saturday Night Fever playin in your head…

Why don’t these kids have any mojo today?

Lower testosterone levels. Multiple medical studies in the last 20 years that show testosterone levels in men have been declining since the 1980s. I’m sure there are a # of factors. The millennials, Gen Z, and whoever is next are the Low T with a substantial rise in the # of effeminate males..

Yep, the streets don't lie and I should not mention but learned my SIL has weak lil swimmers

Good thing the Pope is dead and can't moralize about Christians. Who is he to say what makes a Christian a hypocrite?

I‘m not Catholic so I DGAF what the Pope (who overstepped his bounds in many areas) said.

Yep. I lost my left nut to testicular cancer in my 20’s. Still had two boys after. I can get a girl pregnant by proxy.

Thank you for your interest.

It’s an easy question to answer, Christian or not.

I’m not a Christian but I went through confirmation and as I grow older, I recognize the true teachings of Jesus as morally sound and of great value when taught correctly.

See? Not that hard.

Speaking of Christianity…this is not it. Oklahoma, bringing its education system backward 1000 years while enshrining a criminal and phony ejection denial as truth.

Holy shit. Please just stop with things you do not understand.

Hell, you won't even explain your belief system, so it's further insulting to even entertain your uninformed thoughts.

SG the CS poster child for moralizing about others but getting upset if anyone tries to turn the tables.

If people who self-identify as Christians but don't even attempt to adhere to Christ's teachings don't want to be judged for it maybe they should stop judging (moralizing) others' for their orientation/identity or beliefs.

Still can’t help your fascination.

You brought this on yourself…again.

And you’re squeamish about the human body too? Tom Green made an entire documentary out of it. Everyone knows Lance Armstrong’s story. Seriously…how old are you? Sorry to gross you out.

[Bobcat]

Show me one time I talked about your ball, you cant do it. In fact I just learned about it from who? Did I ask to know this? Nope, you just threw it out there. This is why people dont take you seriously. I started the whole thing bay saying "is this your talking your ball and going home" an obvious basketball reference to any male in the USA.

Then you throw your junk out there like we care. Weird, that its always you and MGR88 celebrating things like this and killing CEOs

You’ve tried gender, sperm count, male dominance hierarchy insults in several threads. It’s an obsession with MAGA and not surprising.

Slow down and you may be able to track conversations and remember your own posts better.

I’m rooting for ya, sugar tits.

Nice try dipshit. You obviously haven't been paying attention. I point out how you hate moralizing Christians, as I do, but that is all you do. You are a broken record, but are too much of a pussy to tell everyone else your beliefs? What are those. Let's hear how swell you are.

For the record, the less fortunate in this country are able to not only receive tax payer monies in various forms of assistance, but charitable donations as well. Hell, even the illegals are given a room, food, basic necessities and emergency Medicaid if needed. They cannot be denied healthcare services.

So, big talker, lets finally get you on record. What are your beliefs and how are you furthering them for the good? I bet you back down AGAIN.

And here you are moralizing toward me. You moralize toward biden, Democrats and others you disagree with as well so you must hate yourself too.

I'm probably best described as a deist (like many of our Founding Fathers). I believe in a higher power that doesn't intervene in our world very often so it's up to us to take care of ourselves, others and our planet (God helps those who help themselves). I feel that I'm closer to "god" standing on a mountain top or next to a waterfall than I am in any church. I became disillusioned with organized Christianity as a kid when I started to notice all of the hypocrites who were assholes 6 days a week and thought that going through the motions on Sundays was all they had to do. I do hope they saw the light, confessed their sins and accepted Jesus on their deathbed. I hope trump will do the same when his time comes.

Rounding up illegal immigrants and sending them to 3rd world prisons regardless of the fact that for some their only crime was coming to this country illegally is not very Christian. Neither is separating families or sending children with life-threatening diseases out of the country. Republicans can no longer claim to be the "party of life" or "family values". They're hypocrites if they do.

I try to further the common good by being good to others, volunteering in my community and standing up for the less fortunate.

What are your beliefs and how are you furthering them for the good?

What are you doing to prevent the rounding up illegals? Why are you not taking them into your home, feeding and clothing them?

To answer your question, I've accepted that I'm not even close to perfect and never will be, and thus, am grateful for the Grace of God. I've accepted that I am a sinner and no matter how hard I try, I can't work my way into heaven. It's only through Jesus that I have a path. As such, I don't moralize because that is not the point. Just read the latter books of the New Testament and that should be clear.

I further my beliefs by treating everyone with respect and to me, more importantly with respect, except dipshits on this board, and give money to causes that help the less fortunate. Before my youngest, my wife and I both were able to give "works", but now cannot.

Your backstory is depressingly common, but yet you still keep pushing the narrative that others somehow need to work their way to heaven. That is what I take offense to - the fact you keep trying to sell the Grace of God as inadequate.

Why am I not taking illegals into my home to prevent them from being rounded up? Wouldn't that be illegal? I'm not a criminal like our President. I also have 3 kids that are my priority and getting arrested and sent to El Salvador would get in the way of my being there for them? What did you do to free the seditious rioters involved in January 6? Why didn't you help them escape from prison?

Bullshit, you moralize toward me and my posts on a regular basis and then get mad when the tables are turned. You have every right to practice Christianity as you like. You don't have the right to expect the same of others or to attempt to marginalize them if their priorities do not align with your beliefs. I will continue to point out the hypocrisy of people who self-identify as Christians who think that homosexuality is a sin against god but loving your neighbor is optional. Tough if you don't like it.

Where did I "push the narrative that others somehow need to work their way to heaven"? I literally said about the assholes (like trump) "I do hope they saw the light, confessed their sins and accepted Jesus on their deathbed." God's grace doesn't mean that I can't point out the hypocrisy between their religion and their words and actions. I'm just trying to help them be a little better.

Well since none of the self appointed know it alls would touch it…. Here you go. Perfect example of what it means about getting taken advantage of….

If a man will not work, he shall not eat." There are people who want to live an irresponsible lifestyle with absolutely no accountability. So there must be limits; we will help someone with a need, but if we see that it’s become a chronic life pattern, it’s wrong for us to continue to encourage that. It’s very harmful to others to contribute to their indolence, laziness, and lack of effort. The old saying "Give a man a fish and he eats for a day, teach him to fish and he eats for a lifetime" is very true. As long as we see that someone is sincerely making an effort, we should be there to support him in whatever way God leads.
