Jefferson County, Kentucky has the largest school system in the state. They have many problems. Not enough school bus drivers. Too much violence on school buses. Too much violence in schools and at scgool events. Top heavy administrative jobs. Still busing kids up to four hours a day as leftover vestiges of required “diversity“ numbers left over from 1970s bussing required by federal court decisions.

The “equity officer“ is the second highest paid administrative officer in the system. He is African-American. He is a highly visible leader in the community. He recently revealed in posts on his private social media that after the election, he received messages from young black professionals and students seeking his advice on “a strategy“ “moving forward.“

He advised them as follows:

“REGARDLESS of the rooms, meetings, classes, etc., you’re in, know THE MAJORITY of whites could care less about you and have no issues harming you or others.”

In a subsequent post, he said, “Strategy. Count the number in your presence and divide by at least half.”

A group of GOP legislators started raising hell - demanding he be fired or resign.

The former head of the African-American studies program at U of L issued an op ed comparing that demand to slaveholders “breaking” strong-willed slaves.

The current head of the NAACP weighed in claiming that the GOP was silent when locals here received post-election racist message (like the ones at IU and elsewhere) and just really wanted to “take over” the school system and run it from Frankfort.

The JCPS response so far was to say “these posts were not made on behalf of the school school or using JCPS assets.” The only person who can fire this officer is the lame duck Superintendent who has announced retirement after 2 horrible bus plans failed.

Note that these speakers are all highly-educated (Ph.D) and highly compensated. The Equity Officer makes $200,000. (The NAACP objects to this salary having been made public by the GOP - but it is already public knowledge as part of the system budget process.)

The Decade of Hate launched the night Hillary lost is now revealing horrible unintended consequences - including race relations that are as bad as they have been in my lifetime, despite advances (legal and practical) among minorities.

WTF?

I say to heck with all of the prognosticators, and all of the Hoosier football naysayers! This Indiana football team is in a position to do what very few teams can do at this point, and that is control their own destiny. I am sure that our coaching staff is knocking it out of the park in keeping this team focused on the next game. Beat Ohio State!

Has the IU pu game time been announced. I have tickets, but can’t make plans until the time is announced.
And is there TV coverage? Thanks

Guess all that "he's the next Hitler" stuff was just BS... Either that or Mike and Joe are the first among a willing vanguard of the next Quislings...

They say it's an attempt "to restart communications"... Decoded that means: "we've clearly lost our audience and we're willing to do or say anything to attempt to stay on the air"...

Been waiting several years for IUBB to be in this tourney. Can’t wait for the week in Nassau!!

For those of you without Peacock…

Buckeyes with a shot at #1, having clinched the double. Does IU get a seed and at least 1 home game?

So many close calls to mediocre teams. The Cougars finally go down.

Caught a 98 yard TD pass today for the Titans. He was a very solid receiver for IU. This is his 5th season with the Titans. Good for Nick !

So f#cking back! It’s been an amazing November. @BradStevens start doing the Trump dance the next time your neighbor says something silly.

He is in Louisville at the Gualt house hanging out at Stevie Rays Blues bar taking in the Churchill Downes fall meet. I asked him what he thought about the Indiana Ohio State game. He said we have an opportunity here; He is taking Indiana plus the points along with the money line. Then he started to talk about something I didn't really understand. Betting the spread will allow you to bet the money line like a stock put. 100 on the line plus the points plus 100 on the money line gives you an advantage to win 470 verses a downside of 200. He thinks we will win the game and shock the world. The Capper doesn't work, hangs out at the track and check and can cash a check in any bas in three states.

Georgia is ranked ahead of Ole Miss in AP poll. I watched Ole Miss dominate Georgia 2 weeks ago. Kicked their ass up and down the field in all facets of the game. The fix is in to get Georgia in the playoffs

After our 1-2 start to the season, and against less than awesome opponents, many of us were concerned we might be blown out by visiting Stanford. The first part of the first quarter did not go well but then we came on.
We matched, perhaps beat, their physicality. Our shooting was better. Lilly got into foul trouble and Moren kept her in longer then many of us might have. I’m not sure if that was because she had faith in her to avoid fouls 4 and 5 (she did not) or lack of confidence in our replacement bigs. Striplin took some of the Lilly minutes, Jules took some minutes (and continues to draw charges). No minutes from Currie Jelkes or Faith. The later may be from Moren’s tendency to not play freshmen. Not sure about Currie Jelkes, makes you wonder if she will contribute eventually or not at all. Sydney Fenn has already been announced as a red shirt year.
Shay showed her speed and shots other than from long distance. Chloe set the stage early with points to give us an early lead. Yardon hit big threes.
Valentyne kadlecova did not play, but again as a frosh that is not to surprising.
Lex and Beau have yet to shake their injuries enough to play, I have not heard what the injuries are nor when they are expected back.
I had predicted in other threads that my guess for a breakout player/big improvement was Beau. Hope she is back soon.

I know, this is highly unlikely, but Oregon only beat them by only 1 at home. A convincing victory on the road vs the Bucks could see the Hoosiers at the top of the college football rankings!!

Deserved its own thread title.

Coach Cig has it all going in the right direction. Confidence brimming. Future near and far is bright. It's flat out amazing.

Reports are “Biden” authorizes Ukraine use of American made hypersonic missiles to hit targets inside Russian territory.

If I read it correctly the Fox Gameday show and the ESPN Gameday show are both going to be in Columbus.
If that is the case,I don’t ever remember both shows being at the same game on the same day.
Anyone?

Reading some information regarding two loss SEC schools and IU if we lose to OSU. All saying two loss SEC gets in instead of us. Entitlement abounds. Go Hoosiers! Beat OSU and end this BS.

Democrats in PA counting illegal ballots in direct violation of law.

So why don’t y’all shut the hell up about political norms and integrity?

He had quite a night. Bones gave him his belt I guess, gave him a shout out, did the trump dance. Got the crowd chanting USA USA.
