At least the education system could then concentrate the school shooters into one place

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 12 points 3 months ago (1 children)

How fucking poignant would it be for the school shootings to be at all the white only schools by white students? Certainly would be reflective of the last decade of this shit.

[–] Ashenlux@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 3 months ago

Then they would just claim the kid was influenced my "critical race theory" and "white guilt" and use it to justify segregating other places and stamping out and left leaning ideas.

Never underestimate the ability for evil people to spin anything to their advantage.

[–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 16 points 3 months ago (6 children)

Bullshit headline, though the reality is not flattering either.

Instead, the statement reframed the remarks as referring to political and ideological separation, not race. Noble wrote that Republicans have 'self-segregated out of the leftist indoctrination centres for decades' and suggested that if Democrats had their own schools and Republicans theirs, families could choose accordingly, citing the state's education freedom account programme.

Her statement criticised what she described as excessive focus on social justice in public education, including references to gender identity policies and diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) curricula, arguing such emphases led to 'terrible test scores.' Republican lawmakers have otherwise been cautious in public articulation of support for Noble. Rep. Mike Belcher, another committee member, responded via email that he interpreted Noble's reference as a 'quip meant to be humorous', but declined to endorse ideologically segregated schools as policy.

Here’s the thing, and I’d bet my next paycheck Noble knew this, the word segregation has a very specific meaning in American society and politics.

By using the word segregation, they are very much signaling race.

100% dog whistle

[–] XeroxCool@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago (2 children)

I guess it's different in a school system, but my line of work uses "Segregate" weekly in terms of separating defective product

[–] nomy@lemmy.zip 9 points 3 months ago

Defective product you say?

I'm not sure that's changes it's meaning, I wonder what the defective product is in Rep. Nobles mind.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

I guess it's different in a school system

Yes. Very different. And she fucking well knows it, the racist fuck.

[–] radio@sh.itjust.works 7 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

That's what she claims she meant because the reality is fucked up. I don't believe a single word that anyone in this administrations says though. Do you? At best you are naive, but more likely you are selling the lies of this evil bitch for ideological reasons. What does segregation mean? In what context has it ALWAYS been used?

"iT's pRoBaBlY a qUiP mEaNt To bE HuMoRoUS" says ignorant man unwilling to believe his own lying eyes.

[–] TowardsTheFuture@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Unsure if I wanna say this would be funny to see because the R schools would just be literal trash, and thus they’d have to actively choose a D school if they wanted the “best school” for their kid.

Or sad because they’d be happy to have dumb fucks who can get even more indoctrinated.

[–] XeroxCool@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I just wanna know what the party of "you don't need all those book smarts" plans to replace "social justice" topics with instead. I bet it's Christianity studies. And by studies, I mean indoctrinations.

That's the old Jesus.

American Jesus is buff with blue eyes and helps those that help themselves.

Arguably this is worse. Segregation is at least based in history and straightforward. This is just stupid, echo chamber nonsense.

[–] skisnow@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 months ago

The phrase “…interpreted as…” was the red flag for me

[–] Lucky_777@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago (2 children)

If this ever comes to fruition. I should be able to choose where my public school tax dollars go too.

[–] frongt@lemmy.zip 6 points 3 months ago

That's funny. These won't be public schools. They're already using tax money for private charter schools. Public schools will be defunded and destroyed.

[–] jim@lemmy.org 5 points 3 months ago

They will only go to the white school, and you will do nothing.
