Florida Mass Shooting: High School was model for racist policy pushed by Obama administration
While the school district’s policy was not the result of a direct order from the Obama administration, the racist “anti-racist” policy it implemented was based on a similar model, the intention of which was to statistically reduce the number of arrests and suspensions – not based on actual bad behavior decreasing, but by deliberately skewing…

“Events” that I like
Looking at “event” listings for my area and it’s depressing. I feel like an alien. And it seems like it’s only getting worse, not better. There seems to be an increasing amount of things that are not what I want, and fewer of what I would want. We should live in a world where there’s…
