Looks like another Biden Administration appointee!
It isn't in schools

Opie asked Pa, what is anal sex? well Opie that’s how Democrats are made!
Andy Griffith was a wise man.
Andy Griffith was a wise man.
So I have an observation and a question.
Observation:
More female dancers at any school is a positive in my opinion.
Question:
Aren't the vast, vast majority of institutions in the United States PWI's b/c the country is, I don't know, predominantly white?
The infighting that ensues is the best part of identity politics in my book. At least, from an entertainment perspective.

Powerful video and that young lady is wise beyond her years.

I honestly think this guy is trolling. This just can’t be real otherwise. I think he’s making a point that the culture is ludicrous and that school boards will support anything woke.
So I did a little digging on this. Evidently this guy was investigated last year for toxic masculinity …. This is his response.
We know where the data came from, and it was not very good science, but claiming Kinsey was a pedophile and child molester is unjustified.

Yes Zeke - good for him. If some asshole woke loony school wants to investigate a shop teacher for toxic masculinity (whatever that means in Canada - I can only imagine) then this is the appropriate response in this day and age. If my friend has to work with an unqualified and underperforming colleague who was only hired due to “their” identity into a marginalized group then the school board can deal with these consequences.

Noted right-wing puppet, Bill Maher, is now part of the conspiracy alleging, without any facts whatsoever, that there is something wrong happening in schools:
If you can manage all the academic/woke jargon, check this out:
From: The University of California at Santa Cruz
"Critical Race and Ethnic Studies: Assistant or Associate Professor Critical Race Science and Technology Studies
POSITION DESCRIPTION
The Critical Race and Ethnic Studies Department at the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) invites applications for a an Assistant/Associate Professor of Critical Race Science and Technology Studies (STS). We seek a scholar whose research falls in any area of Critical Race STS—including scholars trained in indigenous, critical ethnic, Black, gender, and/or trans studies whose work critically engages the embedded racism, sexism, and colonial violence of science and scientific worldviews and their correlate, enlightenment humanism. A demonstrated record of research that de-centers Western scientific ways of knowing and challenges extractivist capitalist practices is especially welcome as are commitments to queer and indigenous ecologies, trans-species studies, and race-radical approaches to STEM. In addition to teaching responsibilities for the new Science and Justice minor, which CRES is developing in collaboration with the Science and Justice Research Center, this position requires a clear commitment to and willingness to lead programmatic and curricular development for the new interdisciplinary minor. Ideal applicants will demonstrate an approach to science and technology grounded in histories of and innovative methods of analyzing anticolonial, decolonizing, liberationist political thought and praxis, push the boundaries of the fields they inhabit, ask provocative questions, and relate critically and creatively to norms of knowledge production. Potential areas of research and teaching focus, among various areas of expertise, include but are not limited to environmental racism; climate justice; genomic justice; war technologies; medicine; public health; governance of science and technology; science policy; criminology, surveillance, and policing; border control; educational technologies; new media studies; critical data studies; histories of antiracism and anticolonialism in science, including the impact of grassroots collective and communal movements against racist science; and CRES engagement with the creative arts that facilitates a nexus between creative and critical inquiry."
I don't even want to think about what "trans-species studies" is all about.
Those ensconced in academic/left/woke/Democrat politics seem to want to make all of this worse. It will seep into k-12 education.

HS Volleyball team barred from locker room due to transgender student
Members from a Vermont girls high school volleyball team have been banned from using their own locker room after they complained about a transgender teammate.
Clown world. Seriously.
So, to recap-there’s a biological male in the womens locker room making inappropriate comments to the women as they change…….HS Volleyball team barred from locker room due to transgender student

Clown world. Seriously.
……….and they kicked the women out.
Clown world doesn’t do it justice.
They let a teen boy into the locker room who dresses like a teen girl. The teen boy made inappropriate (likely sexual) comments to the teen females on his team while they were in various states of undress in the locker room. The 10 teen females were told to go change in a single stall bathroom, the teen boy cosplaying as a girl gets their locker room, and now the girls are being investigated for harassing him.
Bozo ain't got nothing on that ish.
It’s hard not to laugh at the complete absurdity of it, but it’s really not funny
I guarantee the girls being investigated don’t find it funny.
Where are the dads of these girls? They should take this kid out behind the barn, as Biden likes to say. There are some things worth going to prison for.

NYU fires organic chemistry teacher for being too demanding, after student protest petition
I wish there were another gloss on this, but that seems to be the only one that is plausible. It's not that the guy is emeritus at Princeton (until recent years, Princeton was not very strong in chemistry), or that...

After students protest, NYU chemistry professor fired for grading too hard
A gazillion readers sent me a link to this NYT article, which I found horrifying. Others may not, and may characterize me as a grumpy old ex-professor who can't change with the times. So be it; as Hit

I have so much to say about the attitude that you see from college graduates these days and it isn't necessarily new, but I will save it. I will say this though, we have built a society with a "credentialed class" who expects deference to their knowledge. They rely on pieces of paper that are doled out by institutions who had a history of actually churning out educated people with those credentials. The credentials are not worth what they were 40 and 50 years ago.This is a problem.

I wouldn't want any doctor who did pre-med at NYU working on me.

Ridiculous.
The only thing in the article that I, as a student would have a problem with, was not having access to class if I was sick. Outside of that, everything cries of entitlement. The best professors/teachers I ever had were sarcastic in nature, which I LOVED.
I have taught organic chemistry, though I more often teach graduate level courses.
Some profs just love to make organic demoralizingly hard. Make the tests so hard that the average is 30. So you "lead" the class with a 55, get an A. You feel beat down, but it is a method, and it can work. Grad school organic synthesis class at IU was like that.
But that isn't all that was going on, when you hear some of the complaints.
The prof is 84. He was asked to make classes accessible online during covid. He refused. Even students testing positive and not allowed to be on campus were not accommodated. No recording of lectures. Nothing. He treated it as an unexcused absence with no make-up or online help, say from the student TAs.
You can see how that made some enemies.
Most schools have in place rules that you have to go to Emeritus status sometime in your late 60s or 70s and not teach anything full time. Probably a good policy. But he has taught some people who became good scientists, so you have to say his methods can work. Maybe not ideal though for the premeds who have no desire to do organic synthesis forever.

I am curious to know what @zeke4ahs 's reaction to this is. All Republicans are evil and all Dems pure as driven snow in her world . How would she handle this at her ''house'' and what would her girls think? Right leaning people arent causing this crap to happen.
I don’t know. I guess I’d want to know exactly what the charges were before jumping to conclusions. I’m not sure how dressing like that in front of kids is a good thing, regardless of the charges.
I'm paying close attention to the school board elections this year.

Brilliant. Sign that guy up to run for office. I’ll volunteer on his campaign.
Parents stunned by Zionsville school board candidate's comment on Nazis
Dr. Matt Keefer commented on a Facebook post that, "All Nazis weren't 'bad' as you specify. They did horrible things. They were in a group frenzy."
