U.S. Department of Education bans educational institutions from considering race
I presume the next logical step would be to ask the same of US law enforcement, judicial systems, financial institutions, etc?
Cue the cricket sounds…
What about gender? Or do they still want to discriminate in men's favour?
This is a weird comment seeing as women outnumber men in university considerably.

Yes, that's why universities make it easier for male applicants to get in. If there wasn't a disparity it would be weird of them to do that.

What department of education? Thought that was gutted by FElon.
Luckily the department of education is getting dissolved soon
There's going to be so much to repair and replace when this is over. It's just February and I'm already exhausted.
Exhausted from what? All I see is people terminally online defaulting to "ohdearism" and not organizing for the actually exhausting work that is going to inevitably arrive at your doorstep sooner or later.
I see some people pushing for some action, but not enough. They've got everyone right where they want them: passive and easy to roll over.
Yup. People say "protest" when what they need is deep labor organization efforts to allow us to shut down important industries as leverage
The people downvoting you don't want to be burdened with the understanding that their yelling at clouds in online forums isn't just worthless, it's the best possible response a fascist coup could hope for.
People get to feel like their shock and anger are being heard and their likes and upvotes comfort them that they're not alone. Then they go to sleep that night telling themselves that with a post that got that much traction, surely someone out there is going to go out and change something. But they're not, because they're making their own posts and comments, believing that they're also doing their part.
The Civil War, The Women's Suffrage Movement, Civil Rights - none of these things would have started much less succeeded if social media had existed then. People would still be posting today about how it's so reprehensible that white people can own another human, get their upvotes, and wait for someone else to do something about it.
How are they gonna enforce a rule in a department they are literally trying to cut
Ya know id love to ask them why they expect anyone to follow these rules when they have probably fucked up the enforcement methods.
This is a good thing
How long until they just start straight up teaching the lost cause of the South?
They're currently removing books containing references to slavery from public schools.
It's hour hewitage, suhn.
