Critical Race Theory policy in hiring at UT

It's not that I'm surprised by Sack's racism and lying. I'm just amazed by the way he makes it look so easy, like an all-star basketball player. Sack is truly the Michael Jordan Larry Bird of lying and racism.

Quote

PORTLAND, Ore. (TND) — Standardized testing is rooted in "white supremacy" and has been "weaponized" against students, according to some on the Oregon Department of Education’s (ODE) state board.

ODE hosted a virtual "work group" meeting on Monday called "Work Group on Equitable and Racially Responsive Balanced Assessment" led by ODE Director of Assessment Dan Farley.

Farley begins the conversation by discussing what he calls the "truth" of standardized testing being rooted in white supremacy, something he feels needs to be accepted by Oregon's education system.

We started the conversation by introducing the concept that – not the concept but the evidence that the history of standardized testing was framed and came from White supremacist or eugenicist sources," Farley says. "The history of standardized testing is founded in White supremacy, a history that has caused harm to students historically and currently underserved by our educational system.

While Farley admits it's likely impossible to completely remove standardized testing, he says communities "whom state assessment results have been weaponized against" can actively participate in educational policy development and it is possible for educational assessment practices to become "active anti-racist levers."

We need standardization in order for test results to be comparable, but I do think it’s a question that’s worthy of interrogation," Farley says. "It’s not a question that I, as a White male, should come out and answer, whether I have an opinion on it or not.

Farley has previously spoken on the removal of perceived "racist policies" in Oregon's educational system. In September, Farley cited a book titled "How to be an AntiRacist" by Ibram X. Kendi, who Fox News calls a "prominent critical race theory advocate."

[Kendi] reminds us that ‘anti-racist actions must remove racist policies,’" Farley says during the September meeting "So the policies must first be identified, either because they contain racist content or they contribute to racist outcomes. And while most of our state assessment requirements in Oregon are federally based and federal statute, the state board and the assessment team are critical in that discussion, given the influence maintained over policies and practices in Oregon schools.

During the September meeting, Farley states his goal of disrupting racist policies in the educational system of Oregon.

We’re working to identify racist policies and practices that we can influence so we can disrupt them," Farley declares. "We are going to everything we can to disrupt them.

That's a little much I think.  It is true that standardized tests are biased toward whites/economically advantaged.  I'm not sure that the tests should change because of that.  Reduced reliance or understanding that minorities may be disadvantaged in taking them seems to be adequate compensation.

Dude.  I am going to challenge you to do something.  And that is, quit citing the usual right-wing sources for your material.

You may find it there, but if you can, find another source for the information like AP or Reuters, or even fucking CNN or MSNBC and see how the information is reported and see whether the right wing spin is accurate or proper.

Here, for example, is a rational conservative libertarian site that explains that the incident in question had nothing to do with transgenders.  https://reason.com/2021/11/01/conservatives-wrongly-portrayed-the-loudoun-county-sexual-assault-as-a-transgender-bathroom-issue/  In fact, the victim and assaulter had a prior relationship and had fucked in the bathrooms at school before.  It wasn't some random "tranny" going into the girls room to tear off a piece.

Also, the father was arrested at a school board meeting for being a jackass.  Perhaps understandably, somewhat, but he was subsequently convicted of disorderly conduct and resisting arrest, so he wasn't "silenced" by the school board as many right wing sites would have you believe.

Now, it does appear that the school district initially tried to treat this sexual assault as an internal discipline matter.  That's not good, but it isn't the first time that's happened in a school.  And, it's not a cover-up.  Schools and the juvenile court system operate differently than the adult systems, with confidentiality of the indentity of even the perpetrator as a priority.

On June 22, Scott Smith was arrested at a Loudoun County, Virginia, school board meeting, a meeting that was ultimately deemed an “unlawful assembly” after many attendees vocally opposed a policy on transgender students.

What people did not know is that weeks prior on May 28, Smith says, a boy allegedly wearing a skirt entered a girls’ bathroom at nearby Stone Bridge High School, where he sexually assaulted Smith’s ninth-grade daughter.

Smith was sentenced to 10 days in jail, all suspended, contingent on a year of good behavior. Biberaj also pushed for a fine and a requirement for anger management training; Lancaster argued for a moderate fine and no jail time, pointing to Smith’s largely clean record, his long residency as a small business owner in Leesburg, and his anger about an alleged assault of an immediate family member inside a bathroom by a person identifying as gender fluid

https://loudounnow.com/2021/08/17/smith-found-guilty-in-school-board-scuffle/

I mean, there was literally criminal proceedings way before that. The Daily Wire's statement is only true if by people you specifically mean the group of conservatives that read the Daily Wire as opposed to the individuals actually in the Loudon community. 

You also don't seem to understand the privacy concerns that become more paramount when a minor is accused of a crime. The school can't just publish names and neither can responsible need outlets. Frankly, this is for the benefit of both the alleged victim and the alleged perpetrator.

Personally, when I send my death threats to people's children, I make a point to be very specific in my grievances. If I'm angry about a rape cover-up, that's what I'm opening with. Not this commie whore talk. These people.

Oh, I'm also going to with clipped magazine letters. It's not as personal, but it does I really mean business.

Spend one month only using AP, Reuters, BBC, and the PBS News Hour for your news. Then go back to whatever sources you used before and see how absurd they look. CNN is a few rungs below the Craig Kilborn-era Daily Show; Fox aspires to be at the top of NowThis’ bookmarks. The daily-whatevers, Oanns, etc. look like the Onion writers turned to meth.

And, apparently the part about internal disciplinary matter was wrong, too.  The incident was reported by the school the day it happened according to local news outlet. https://wjla.com/news/local/multiple-sexual-assaults-dominate-public-comment-at-loudoun-school-board-meeting

The school policy, however, is not to discipline until the criminal investigation is complete.

And, as noted repeatedly, the school cannot disclose details of student disciplinary, or criminal, matters for a number of legitimate policy reasons.

The conservative spin on this is about 90% pure dee bullshit.

And, as per usual, if you google (more accurately duck duck go) the incident, you have to wade through 100 or more bullshit rightwing sites repeating the exact same unsourced horseshit to find something factual.

Legislature only accounts for 13% of UT's funding.  CRT courses, even ones that just touch on it anecdotally, account for less than 2% of UT's course offerings.  It's beyond a non-issue to say "We fund public universities so Marxist/CRT doctrines cannot be spread virulently across campus!"  As idiotic as a notion it is, Dan Patrick couldn't come up with it if you gave him six months and a bowl of LSD.  

This is Alex Cranberg, Wallace Hall, and Jeff Sandefer coming back against UT for another Round versus UT (Perry's goons having lost all their previous battles).  I promise you the same shitbags are behind this that were behind all the other crap from 2012-2016.  Only difference is Abbott is gonna be quiet this time.  He overhauled the Board of Regents and eased tensions with the Tower and advocated for better funding (the last three legislative sessions for higher ed having been okay to really good).  But he's gonna hang back and let Dan Patrick wage this bullshit, non-existent culture war on behalf of Cranberg, et. al.  Because he can't appear soft on CRT right now with Huffines chasing after him like an angry gremlin.  No session right now, no real vocal leadership on the left (I doubt Beto touches CRT this cycle, no reason to).  And Hartzell and Milliken have their sights set on much bigger shit right now than to get in the mud with these clowns.  

I posted on this on Tuesday of last week, saying after that Faculty COuncil vote, they'd use it as a way to declare Marxist-CRT shit was permeating through every academic offering on campuses statewide.  I knew they'd do it, I just didn't think they'd do it so quickly and get Patrick to parrot them so effectively.  

So it shows up on google searches::: ALEX CRANBERG, JEFF SANDEFER, AND WALLACE HALL ARE PULLING THE STRINGS ON DAN PATRICK WITH HIS SUDDEN CRT IN HIGHER ED BULLSHIT.  Absolute 100% fact.  FUCK ALL OF YOU!  You won't win this time either. And your wives are cunts.

UT actually has two right-leaning "think tanks."  The Salem Center (housed at McCombs) and the soon-to-be Liberty Institute, which will be a stand-alone C&I across campus disciplines.  Only a handful of faculty/staff have an issue with either one.  They understand it will bring diverse voices and funding to the campus.  Believe it or not, most academics here have little issue with initiatives like University of Austin or TPPF.  But what Hall/Cranberg/Sandefer (via their proxy moron puppet-Dan Patrick) wish to do is beyond the pale.  Sadly, a huge chunk of Longhorns will sit back and "take it" because it'll "own the libs"

And make no mistake, none of it has jack fucking shit to do with CRT
