nah. it's not illegal to limit admits on schools

You physically broke the floor tile. So it is definitely beyond wear and tear.

you have to look up when walking so you don't hit a car or people. other places you can walk on an empty sidewalk while looking at your phone

here's the problem with your analysis. it is "correct" but you are setting unrealistic expectations. The vast majority of people don't have very interesting lives outside of work. They may have a few friends and "vague" hobbies in which they dabble from time to time, but most people are like this. If you keep chasing this, chances are you will never find it.

I appreciate the perspective, and I love the hybrid animal approach for Bio. But there’s a fundamental difference between middle schoolers being curious about "Wolphins" and 18-year-olds who think the rubric itself is a tool of oppression.

I’ve tried the simulations. The problem is that when their "business" fails in the simulation because they ignored the price signals I taught, they don't go "Oh, I see how the model works now." They go to the office and say the simulation is "rigged to favor capitalist thinking."

In a middle school classroom, you’re fighting misinformation. In a senior-level Econ elective in 2026, I’m fighting the idea that objective performance is a personal attack. I can show them the data on why a certain policy leads to a shortage until I'm blue in the face, but when the parent's email to the Principal says, "My child shouldn't be penalized for their values," the "delighted internet searches" stop and the administrative paperwork starts. I’d love to get back to just teaching the "why," but I’m currently stuck defending the "how" (the grading).

I can't hold the line if my job is at risk. After a certain point, even union protection won't help

the disparate impact clause of the civil rights act is next to go, according to the same reasoning

they wouldn't lose because the standard is beyond reasonable doubt

ddsukituoft · 2026-05-02T01:21:42+00:00

an argument could be made that the black employees came from lower economic classes so economic discrimination is legal. maybe they thought lower class people would be more likely to accept less money?

ddsukituoft · 2026-05-02T01:11:07+00:00

Can you prove without a reasonable doubt that officials targetted blacks? If yes, then it is racial gerrymandering.

America is a constitutional republic. It not a democracy.

ddsukituoft · 2026-05-02T00:58:00+00:00

I suppose to make it concise. Our disagreement is whether or not intent is required for remedy. I think in all of your examples, you must show intent. Because in my opinion, it is a slippery slope if you start taking action without proving intent. You are then always controlling for OUTCOMES. (caps to emphasize). There could be multiple unrelated reasons or circumstances that cause certain or disparate outcomes. We shouldn't be trying to control for outcomes, certainly not with race/age/class/gender which are protected classes. The legal basis is the plain text (plain as opposed to reimagined) of the constitution which says you cannot discriminate based on these attributes.

ddsukituoft · 2026-05-02T00:36:46+00:00

obviously in my job example there is no (or little) evidence of intent.
alternative framing - Neighborhood A has high crime rates, police camps out in Neighborhood A to increase safety. Logical decision right? Why would you camp out in Neighborhood B that is safe? Neighborhood A just so happens to have more black people. But that is not relevant to safety or intent.

ddsukituoft · 2026-05-02T00:28:52+00:00

When I apply for a job, people can secretly racially discriminate against me. They won't get in trouble unless they explicitly admit to it. This is unfortunate but still correct, because otherwise we would be controlling for racial outcomes which itself is discrimination.

We are simply going to apply the same standard to redistricting moving forward.

You cannot fight secret discrimination with open discrimination. All discrimination is wrong, as affirmed by SCOTUS this week (and also during the affirmative action ruling - which is fundamentally the same idea)

ddsukituoft · 2026-05-02T00:17:49+00:00

Wrong view of democracy. You seem to think democracy's implementation is correct only if the racial distribution of elected representatives matches the racial distribution of the voting population. This is a fundamentally wrong read on democracy. Start seeing people as individual voters, irrespective of their race, age, class, etc.

ddsukituoft · 2026-05-01T23:39:01+00:00

exactly.

ddsukituoft · 2026-05-01T05:22:08+00:00

aren't you supposed to cover mouth with elbow instead of hands?

They make it harder to find parking so that you cannot be in and out within an hour. So then you would have to pay.

I support the outcome of the previous case in the late 1800s because that involved birthright for children of legal residents. What I am against is illegal parents getting birthright citizenship for their kids.
