    The opening quote is such a self-own lol

    It’s soooo smart of Alabama to focus on this instead of improving their education system (5th worst in the country)

    The legislation outlines eight “divisive concepts” including discussions around conscious or subconscious racism and sexism, and whether “meritocracy or traits such as a hard work ethic are racist or sexist” that are now prohibited.

    The government is banning discussions. How is this not policing speech?

        Merit is the only means by which others should be judged, their achievements a testament to their productivity and usefulness. And if that means hiring less minorities and excluding lesser people who aren’t a good cultural fit because of “the system” or whatever, then so be it.

        Are you really trying to imply minority groups have less merit? Do you want your surgeon to be merit based or diversity based? Do you want your pilots to be blind because they are underrepresented in airline pilots?

        The reality is, boomers and their offspring for various reasons felt really horrible about how minorities were treated in western nations and about colonialism and slavery. They sought equal rights for POC & That’s good, but to abandon merit based systems of promotion and success is ridiculous. The best people should move forward in every situation. If A POC is the better than his white counter-part then so be it, everything should be equal opportunity not forced outcome based on skin color, gender, sexuality ect.

            Michigan should get its shit together end vote for new leadership, however they vote in the same bs every year expecting things to change, replacing one corrupt democrat with another corrupt democrat. Look at the last two governors, there is nothing they have done to fix it, just broken bs promises. Meanwhile we fund billion dollar satellites to take pictures of pluto, something’s broken here and it’s not opportunity systems, its government

                Fuck the rnc and the dnc we need people that are willing to do what’s right for the people and the country, not dinners and ceos at mega corps, im a registered republican, yes. But im not a trump guy, romney guy, none of that. Its about what’s right. I’ve written my dem congressman in ma about certain things and they got help fii out r my dad when he needed it. Its about what’s right. If u asking me what’s wrong with the rnc in Michigan it’s that it’s run by establishment fools and scam artists who take peoples money and don’t deliver. Hopefully getting rhonna McDaniel out the rnc is a good start
