Merged $25,000 Spent on programes that made things worse./Woke kindergarten

Ready for some more lulz?

Non-binary activist Akiea Gross who founded controversial for-profit 'Woke Kindergarten' program that calls to abolish police and Israel now posts online rant saying 'US has no right to exist'

I think I've found her paradise for her. No police, everyone is Black and the place is one big huggy wuggy money-free paradise.

Haiti

With that quarter mill, she could easily fly down there, rip up her US passport, apply for demand asylum and live a wonderful stress free life free for the jackboots of American oppression crushing her windpipe.

You have a preferred term of endearment for the practitioners of Woke? Please post it so I can avoid causing further offence.

How about "Stuff stupid MAGA morons imagine happens but doesn't in real life because they are so busy being snowflakes who are frothing about stuff told to them by patent ****-stirrers rather than using their God-given brains and actually thinking for themselves for a change".

Could be shorter, I guess.

How about "normal rational folks".

Hummmmm yes, yes, perfectly normal and rational. Completely made up by Trumpers.
Yes, I see.

A deep cover psyop perhaps? A deep fake created using technology salvage from spacecraft stored at Area 51?

She's totally not calling for segregation of schools (starting at 3:10) no, not at all.

Yeah, that's my biggest hitch with reparations in general. To who, for what, in what values, and where do you start and end responsibilities? It seems like a well-meaning idea I'm the abstract, but when the rubber hits the road, somebody's a-getting slapped in the face, value-wise.

The 'reparations' are mostly about fixing the damage caused by discrimination and poor treatment of black slaves. The cash payments idea was a bit silly but that's been dropped now. It's not the only time a scheme like this has been mooted though. Not so long ago the government sent checks with Trump's name on them to 35 million Americans, in a half-hearted attempt to compensate them for covid lockdowns.

Heh heh... she funny. [emoji38]
Still, as a gifter, she's a piker compared to the many right wingers who used PPE loans and such to scam congress during the pandemic.
She should up her game.

With all the recent publicity there could be hundreds, nay, thousands of schoolboards discussing bringing the Woke Kindergarten program into their schools. By this time next year we could be looking at a Forbs 500 company.

And here I was, scrolling down, thinking ""when you think there's a chance her idiocy will become mainstream, get back to us". Which would be ridiculous.
Oops, you're already there. [emoji853]

I think that when this idiocy scores a $250,000 contract with a school in major metro area, and endorsed by professors at the University of California, it's already mainstream. This isn't some fringe nonsense that has no hope in hell of ever getting academic recognition, let alone government contracts. This nonsense is already mainstream. There's already too many people thinking it, believing it, selling it, and buying it.

There's a recurring trope from progressives, about these sorts of concerns: Oh, it's not happening, it's not as bad as you think, stop worrying. Guess what, Jim? It is happening, it's worse than you thought it was before you found it was actually happening, and progressives refusing to worry about it is a big part of how it already got to be as bad as it is.

Look at the responses in this thread. See much calling out the absurdity of this educational approach? No, right? That's proof that this sort of absurdity is well into the mainstream.

Consider this: Woke is to liberalism what MAGA is to conservatism. They're both extreme ends of their respective political spectrums.

No, actually, she isn't. Did you not watch it? She is arguing against racism in schoolteacher positions. And since you are making fun of that position because it's "woke" (a term not used in that context), I take it you are opposed to all that "wokeism", i.e. in favour of racist segregation for teacher positions.

Correct?

Yes, actually, she is. Having black teachers teaching classes of all black students is what segregation is. Defacto segregation, but segregation nonetheless.

I'm still not seeing any arguments that spending funds on political indoctrination is the best way forward for helping students who are failing as opposed to, say, hiring more teachers.

This is a story of an actual real life company calling itself Woke Kindergarten, peddling nonsense and getting government contracts for it.

Note as well that we have gone from "critical race theory is only taught in colleges and universities" to "woke kindergarten" in only a few short years.

I find it hilarious well, tragicomic, anyway, that Norman Alexander is still stuck on the "woke is a right-wing invention, progressives would never indulge in the kind of nonsense right-wingers accuse them of" talking point.

FTFY.
 
Better teachers might do it. This is San Fransisco so they might have a problem attracting talent.

A few years ago I ran into this kid, hiding out in the Honduran jungle, who'd just finished his teaching degree and he was scared to go home and face his student loan. He was saying with what teachers make in California and what he owes, a jungle hut was the best option while he thought things through.

Right. :rolleyes:

They tried it at one school. Seems it wasn't well received and didn't have the desired effect. I doubt they will continue this program on a large scale if at all.

Personally I wouldn't have approved this program because the word 'woke' is in it, guaranteeing a ton of negative publicity even it works. Then you get crap like this thread.

Meanwhile the planet is going to hell as we continue to trash it and what is everybody doing to stop it? Nothing. We're all so worried about 'more important' things like 'woke' kindergartens that the really important stuff is ignored. But that's humans for you. We think we are so smart...
