Unconscious Bias 2

About a year ago I wrote here of the silliness of the theory. I remain concerned about the effects on education as our teachers are again used as guinea pigs to test various other theories (frequently referred to as "strategies" to promote credibility) designed to counter the potential effects of unconscious or implicit bias. Profesional training is required to implement the strategies. So another professional development (PD) period is added to the myriad of sleep induced PD subjects.

My Biggest Concern

 I have many concerns about the left turn the country has taken in last decade or so, but my biggest concern is losing our rights to think and say what we want. Repressed speech begets repressed thought. And we are ending in that direction at a speed I would have never thought possible 50 years ago. Our youth are becoming puppets of non-imagination.

Trump Accountability Project

 From a November 6 2020 tweet: Emily Abrams (@emabrams)

We’re launching the Trump Accountability Project to make sure anyone who took a paycheck to help Trump undermine America is held responsible for what they did.

Real Democrats don't scare me. While we can count on their policies being bad, there will be opportunities to change those. However, the socialist democrats do scare me. They are too reminiscent of the so-called Terror of the French Revolution. First, they went after their political enemies. That not being enough to quale their bloodthirst, they went after their own, ala Robespierre. Due to the continued failure of our education system, most Americans do not know their own country's history much less than of Europe, so we are doomed to repeat the worst of it. Should Biden win the presidency, he will be but a puppet to the radical social democrats and they have already begun to collect names. So, if you wear/wore a MAGA hat, adorned your yard with a Trump for President sign, or even fly/flew the flag of the United States, stock up on ammo and oil your guns. Do not go down without a fight.

Just Wondering

 How many people do you know, friends and relatives, that have tested positive for COVID-19? Been hospitalized for COVID-19? Died from COVID-19? Just wondering.

The Way We Were

 Mr. Grant doesn't understand that we're not practcicing law from Before. He wants things to work the same as they used to. He thinks that the world just has this out of order sign temporarily tacked to it. Any minute a maintenance guy is going to come along and plug the world back in and everything will go back to what it was." After the Cure, Dierdre Gould, 2013.

Will there be a Before that was drastically different than the After in the 2020s? One thing we know is that those in power in democratic governments the world over will have found that they truly enjoyed flexing their dictatorial muscle, How easy it was. It just took the big-city mayors and state governors to make never-ending televised speeches in concert with most of the national new media proclaiming how deadly and scary the pandemic was to shut down most of the world's economy, trap the majority of the free-world populace in their homes, and ridiculously sport a face mask in public. But the worst was restricting peoples' freedom to socialize. Why? Because it is through socialization that communication occurs, communication that tends to seek the truth. The last thing the power-seeking politicians wanted was a populace gathering to discuss how utterly silly the mandated restrictions were.

COVID-19 will eventually go the way the cases of flu have gone, but the threat will remain. We will have become but lambs, constantly threatened with the return thus justifying the codification through legislation and judicial support of significantly increased powers of federal, state, and local leaders at the expense of the people. Remember the response to 911? You can expect much worse.

Journalistic Stupidity

 Consistently news reporters and journalists in all media forms, refer to members of the Democrat party who are in public (elected and appointed) office as, for example, "Democratic Congresswoman, Kamala Harris." And six- or seven-figure editors let it pass. Kamala Harris is a Democratic just as Chris Wallace is a Journalistic. Merriam-Webster defines democratic as "of, relating to, or favoring democracy." Accordingly and rightly I would bet that 99.9% of Republican officeholders are also democratic.
