Update on how stupid leftists are - and how stupid they want your kids to be

[Steeltime]

Leftists exist for a reason. All things exist for a reason. I have suspected for quite some time that the current, ugly, destructive version of leftists is to make their overwhelmingly defective appearance and intellect more mainstream, i.e., acceptable. That is why an obese woman is "beautiful," and Melania Trump ugly.

You think I am overstating this? The following is from somebody deemed a "leader" in modern education, a professor at Columbia:

How can grading practices support students who fell behind during the recent closures?

First, I want to challenge the assumption of your question—the term "fall behind" is a social construct. This idea of where a person should be is not a naturally occurring thing. We know from child development psychologist Jean Piaget that all people develop differently and grow at different paces.

Essentially, powerful teaching and learning are based on two things: assessment and intervention. When we meet students this fall, how will we most honestly and mindfully assess them and understand where they are? And then how will we move kids forward at a rate that's developmentally appropriate to them?

[So a child who is 18 months old and unable to sit upright or speak a syllable is not falling behind, and instead is a victim of the white patriarchy? And an 8-year old unable to say the alphabet or do single-column addition is not falling behind and instead is just learning at his own rate? Could be. Or maybe the kid is falling behind.]

What are the most pernicious grading practices in use today?

Pernicious grading practices start out as pernicious pedagogy. I cannot separate grading practices from pedagogy, and I cannot separate pedagogy from the history of classism, sexism, racism, and ableism in the United States. The idea of what is successful at school is still very much constructed through an able-bodied, monied, aggressively competitive white male lens.

[Says a guy teaching at Columbia apparently unaware that the most successful students today are Asian, and that females are doing much better in schools today than males, and who suggests that those with a physical disability are stupid and incapable of learning. "They system favors white males who are actually Asians and females! Aaaaahaahahahah!!!!]

How would doing that inner work change grading practices?

One thing we understand from Universal Design for Learning is that there are multiple ways a kid can express their knowing. And so if you know 2+2=4, one way you can express your knowing is by writing it. Another way you can express your knowing is by discussing it. A third way is by creating a model that shows it. A fourth way is by illustrating it and a fifth way is by performing a play. But in too many schools, only one way is considered legitimate. So if you write it, you get an A and that's it. There might be 100 kids in the school who know 2+2=4, but if only two of those kids can write it, then only two of those kids will receive As. That is profoundly discriminatory.

[Seriously, a Columbia professor wags his finger and says that requiring a student to write the correct answer to a math question is "discriminatory." I guess all questions are in effect "discriminatory," as they discriminate between those who know the answer or how to derive the correct answer from those who don't.]

This is actually going on in our schools. Terms such as "cisgender" and "discriminatory" and "aggressively competitive" have replaced correct from incorrect, accurate from inaccurate - even in math, which is a binary, cisgendered, antiquated, male-aggressive remnant from our dark past.

Okay, maybe planes fall out of the sky and bridges collapse and medicines fail and the electric grid fails because the world does not care about your stupidity, but so what? A few thousand people die, maybe a couple million, but the world is soooo much better because non-binary ze's finally earn an "A" in progressive math.

Keeping the populace as stupid as possible is vital for the left to thrive. And they use every “information” source at their disposal to accomplish it.

As long as I'm breathing I will counter that with my son. He will always get the full clear picture and know our history.

Good for you. How many parents do the same? All I can say is get your kids out of public school, right the **** now.

My wife and I did the same. It's about listening to them and having those deep conversations. Both my Daughter and Son have friend groups who are Libtards and they get verbally attacked for sharing a different point of view. But they're strong with conviction and understand right from wrong. I'm pretty proud of them.

I was 18 years a public school teacher in three states. It's bad. Get your kids out of public schools.

What you see here is just a small portion of the garbage what public education is. It's harmful. Abandon ship.

Eh depends on the area. Here in this part of rural Ohio the teachers as a whole have much bigger things to worry about than politics. They pretty much remain apolitical in front of the students....like mature adults in other words. Hell, most of the teachers in our building either lean Conservative or are pretty close to the middle. The teachers union is viewed as a necessary tool but if a teacher ***** up and does something worthy of discipline or firing, they give their blessing to the administration to make the call and they get out of the way. I've seen it happen many times. It probably helps that the teachers in charge of the union hold themselves to the highest standard in their own classroom so they have no tolerance for **** ups making everyone look bad. .

Even the Democrats in the building are old school Democrats. Most things are old school around here, which is why I like it. For instance, my boss is a staunch Democrat. He also owns about hundred guns, drives a huge pickup truck and rides ATVs in his spare time.

Guys like that piss me off more than I can say. "I'm a staunch (D)imbo, voted for Beijing Joe and Kneepads, but I own dozens of guns, value the internal combustion engine, and like to use gas-powered vehicles for recreation."

Uhhh, news alert, dummy. (D)imbos don't give a **** that you say you are a (D)imbo; they'll take your guns and force you to drive an electric powered vagina-mobile right damn quick.

Yeah but it certainly makes for a much more pleasant person to be around 5 days a week.

Teaching kids lies like "you can be any of the 38 genders you wish" and "your patents' religion is bad, so play the game until you can move out" is wrong. Wrong. I have heard both of these said by teachers. Teaching that capitalism is bad and big government is good, is wrong. Teaching fractions, the constitution, George Washington, biology, etc., is correct. It's no longer about that. And this is in conservative Wyoming, and small(ish) town Colorado.

Read the information put out by the NEA, CTA, etc., and what the agendas at teaching conventions are. You'll see far left nonsense is the rule and priority.

Oh I've seen it all and I never doubted it. Just commenting that education thankfully isn't like that around here. It's actually just teaching without political opinion still. I grew up here and I never heard that kind of **** until I got to college. By then I was old enough to see through the bullshit.

This is the reason I will never live anywhere besides a small town in rural America and why my kids are being raised here as well.

We do now, and will never return. Cheyenne was only 60K, but it was garbageville anyway.

I have lived in two different towns around here in my lifetime. Both are under 5K. Just the way I like it. It forces people to get along no matter their differences because the town couldn't function otherwise. That is how you avoid all the indoctrination bullshit. Everyone has other **** to worry about that actually matters.

The problem I see is that these small towns will sometimes hire folks from bigger, liberal places. They bring their nonsense, and the libs there back it.

Never thought things like feelings and compassion could be so dangerous.

It's easy to be a liberal because it requires no thought. Feelings and compassion are the first emotions to kick in when faced with social issues.
….but when making decisions and policy based on emotions is when it becomes dangerous.

"There are poor people, we need socialism!"
"Black thug gets killed by a cop proves we are still a racist nation"!!!!
"Terrorists are mothers and fathers too.!!

Conservatives also have feelings and compassion but we are able to separate those emotions from logic and reason.

Being a liberal is never having to say your sorry for their failed policies because it was the thought that counts.
