Looking over their concerns, I’m not sure that they have a leg to stand on. The claim they’re making is that they’ve measured an increase in hate-related tweets (I’ll take them at their word on this) and then they associate this with Musk taking over.
They present no evidence for this later claim and do not, as far as I can see, make any attempt to compare against increases in hate among other social media platforms.
Grooming, for example, is one topic they covered. But this is a topic that Republicans have been pushing increasingly as election season spins up. Musk didn’t cause that, and that kind of nonsense can be found on Facebook and reddit as well.
I’m inclined to sympathize with an underdog nonprofit, but in this case I just can’t see why they expected not to get pushback on such poorly grounded claims
It doesn’t test Latin? I went to a “classical education” school and Latin was a big deal. Our senior curriculum was, IIRC, AP English Literature, AP Calculus, AP Chemistry, AP French Language, AP Macroeconomics, Latin, Ethics (once? a week), Art History (twice? a week, one semester), Art (ditto). As you can see, our administration strongly approved of College Board’s testing scheme. I think the students who had enough years of Latin had the option to move on to Classical Greek, but I was personally only in third year Latin.
Most of the faculty were very progressive, so it may not have been typical of other “classical” institutions.
But the summary fails to mention by whom. The article thankfully does.
It is developed by Classic Learning Initiatives. But the company doesn't have its own wikipedia page, despite clearly having written this page. The only name listed is the "creator" of the CLT Jeremy Tate; who also doesn't have his own Wikipedia page.
Tate, the founder and CEO of CLT said the College Board has “censored the entire Christian-Catholic intellectual tradition” and other “thinkers in the history of Western thought.”.
They're hard-core Catholics trying to look generic Christian so they don't scare off the Evangelicals but also not so Christian they scare off the secular completely either.
I mean… sure? Florida can do that. There’s no law or regulation that says they can’t.
But colleges outside of Florida are also 100% free to reject that as a valid standardized test. And I think the vast majority of schools that are actually worth a damn will, in fact, not accept the test.
A zoo in eastern China has denied suggestions that some of its bears were people dressed in costume after videos of a Malayan sun bear standing on its hind legs – and looking uncannily human – went viral, fueling rumors and conspiracy theories on Chinese social media.
The approval of a publicly funded religious school is the latest in a series of actions taken by conservative-led states that include efforts to teach the Bible in public schools, and to ban books and lessons about race, sexual orientation and gender identity, said Rachel Laser, president of Americans United for Separation of Church and State, which is among several groups representing the plaintiffs in the case.
There’s this docu series on netflix (unnatural selection) about genetic engineering in general but also about some people (with and without science background) who believe that anyone should be able to do genetic engineering at home (Josiah Zayner is one of them, i believe he still sells lab equipment and reagents for anyone who want to do some DIY bio-engineering). They also follow this guy who stopped taking his HIV meds and started using some kind of antibody that was developed by some shady company (it didn’t work and guess what; not a single physician was involved). I believe one of these shady guys was found dead in a sensory deprivation pod with ketamine in his blood.
Or even just getting them to squabble over which Christian denomination the school will follow. Baptist? Mormons? A specific protestant denomination? Or maybe even the gasp Catholics who are swayed by the Pope! Get them to internecine fight over their flavor of God to follow and it’ll break apart in no time.
It won’t be killed. We’ve already seen them allow bibles in schools while denying every book conservatists don’t want. It’s a double standard that’s not being enforced in the federal court level. And if you think the supreme court will block that then good luck.
Yeah, this is what’s so frustrating. The Supreme Court has been pretty clear that it will only rule in favor of religious freedom for Christians. Access to abortion is critical for Jews and Muslims for example, but that doesn’t stop them from subjecting all of us to the extreme Christian belief on the matter. They’ve even gone as far as to say that the beliefs of reform or moderate Jews don’t count as Jewish beliefs because only the orthodox count (someone smarter than me can find the SCOTUS opinion that says this, it’s real). So yeah, religious freedom for Christians, no one else.
Don’t worry, they’ll just make an exception that only christian public schools are allowed just like they made exceptions for cis children to get gender affirming care and surgeries in their blatantly unconstitutional/genocidal trans care bans
There is a scene in the Anime ‘Cat Planet Cuties’ where a maid is desperately trying to convince the protagonist that a human is NOT inside a HUMAN sized robot suit (when it plainly IS)
