$140,000 Is a Lot of Money for a Sinecure I’ve repeated 100 times that Eanes paid $140,000 last year (and authorized $120K for this year) for a DEI grift. And when you think about this in terms of the DEI guy’s salary, it’s a lot of money. If he finds himself a couple more $140K/yr sinecures, he […]
AISD: Transformative Equity = Ideology & Redistribution
You can learn a lot about a district by looking at its Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion webpage. Here, for example, is Austin ISD’s Equity Office. Looks anodyne perhaps—unless you understand that equity does not mean equal opportunity. It means state-enforced equal outcomes. Pretty sounding words that actually mean something sinister. This message is reinforced by […]
Woke at TASB
With the national spotlight on National School Board Association, it’s a good time to look the state level as well. Here’s the Texas Association of School Boards’s advice to Texas school boards about Critical Race Theory and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion issues. It’s worth taking a look… Here’s a TASB worksheet reassuring us that CRT […]
Eanes4Equity Is Not Liberal
My mama taught me that I should never use a word if I don’t know its meaning. Good advice. We can expand this advice to include activist groups: never support an activist group if you don’t understand the issues it endorses. Case in point: Eanes4Equity. Yes, yes, I know Eanes4Equity stands, in part, for anti-bullying […]
With Maoist Struggle Sessions, Gooden Grooms Racial Activists
The Eanes DEI consultant, Mark Gooden, has said that he wants to develop people into racial activists. He has stated that he wants to help people “develop their racial awareness with a hope of transferring that into action that they will then use to transform the organization.” How? He uses ‘racial reflections’ to draw out […]
Social Justice Teaching & the SPLC = Woke Politics
At every turn, the members of the Eanes School Board have denied that they are embedding Critical Race Theory—woke politics—into the District. They assert this claim over and over, but they never actually address the evidence to the contrary. But here’s a prime example from 2019 of woke politics being injected into the District. In […]
Fire Leonard. Fire the Board. Part 2
To the EISD School-Board supporters who object to the sky banner at last week’s football game: This may come as a surprise, but I’m in full agreement that sporting events should be apolitical. Sports should bring us together, not drive us apart. Watching Westlake wallop the ever-loving-football-snot out of Bowie is a heartwarming, community-building event. (Sorry, Bowie. 😘) […]
Climb the Ladder Out
Dig, research, read, little liberal buddies. Woke is illiberal. Climb the ladder out.
Fire Leonard. Fire the Board.
This banner was flown over the Westlake football game on Friday. Some parents are mad because they feel the football game is not the place for divisive politics. They assert the banner crossed a line and violated decorum. But the Superintendent and School Borg (illustrated) have crossed a line. They’ve introduced divisive, collectivist, woke politics […]
Disrupt and Dismantle
As Americans, we share values founded on freedom. We believe in the innate value of the individual. We believe all humans are created equal. We believe in individual liberty, autonomy, and freedom of belief. We believe in equality under the law. We believe in a colorblind society. We do not judge people based on immutable characteristics. We believe in science and scientific […]
