The upshot of these tends is that during a period when educators *talked* more about antiracism, racial gaps in academic achievement got much larger and the edu-left’s main response was to stigmatize efforts to measure that.

Ibram Kendi has the cute move of calling his ideology "antiracism" so as to try to set up a scenario where people who disagree with him must accept the idea that they are "pro-racism" and it's easy to see why that's not a mutually acceptable label.

This is wild. DC’s police union had a racket selling liquor illegally. And the folks involved are still saying: “How could it be illegal? We’re cops!”

"Not everyone can live in California, espesially [Berkeley] so our home prices are very high. It's very messy but that's part of democracy."
