Hair in their face doesn't prevent you from being able to identifying them.

Fine. My mistake. I'll try not to make it again.

Look, I'm not going to go on and on about this. I think while in grades 1 through 12, particularly in the big high schools with thousands of students, you should be able to identify your students at a glance. That's all.

You admit that there is a step that keeps hair out of one's face without cutting it. Why advocate for banning certain hairstyles?

Additionally, you had someone telling you that you were wrong based on decades of personal experience in the field and you dismissed him as though your uninformed opinion carries as much weight as his practical experience. You picked a very strange hill to die on today.

It just seems like a simple fix to me. If the face is too obscured to identify a student, have them rubberband or tie the hair in a way that doesn't obscure the face. No cutting or removing anything needed.

That's fine with me. You can grow your hair down to your belly button in front as long as you ponytail it, or the like, while in school.

Yea, like a school administrator of a school with 1200 students can identify them all even if they could see their faces.

Remember 20-25 years ago when the NBA said if you weren’t playing you had to wear a suit while on the bench?

Yes it applied to everyone, and it was sold as “you’re a professional and professionals were suits” but it was really about hip hop attire making the suburban white fans uncomfortable

NBA thing was 2005 later than I thought, could have sworn it was late 90s
=======================

It helped launch the trend for designer trainers, baggy jerseys and chunky gold chains adopted by teenagers around the world. But now the NBA is attempting to take the bling out of basketball by imposing a dress code on players, in a move that has brought accusations of racism.

Under the code, which comes into force when the basketball season starts tomorrow, players will no longer be able to turn up to official National Basketball Association events wearing baggy shorts, T-shirts, jerseys, trainers, flip-flops and do rags - cloth head coverings. Chains, pendants and medallions worn outside clothes are also banned, as is wearing headphones and sunglasses indoors.

Instead players will be required to wear "business casual" - sports jackets and slacks - when on league business. Violators will be fined and repeat offenders could be thrown out of the league.

But some players and commentators have denounced the dress code as racist for targeting the hip-hop look adopted by many of the NBA's young black players.

Its purpose, critics claim, is to make a predominantly black league more palatable to a predominantly white audience. Singling out neck chains is "definitely a racial statement", said the Indiana Pacers star Stephen Jackson.

"They're targeting my generation - the hip hop generation," said Allen Iverson, the Philadelphia 76ers player……..

It would be neat if the posted the actual numbers and data, so the test taker can learn if Teressa is correct or not.

She is.

Yes, the answer “a Republican” was the correct answer for this test, which says more about the person writing the test, than the person taking it.

That they are the reason for memes and commentary like the following.



Why a teacher or test writer would open themselves up to have their motives questioned is beyond me, but that’s why I’m in finance and not education.

The test writer is so desperate to be seen as a good person that they must virtue signal in all aspects of their lives in order to be viewed a good person. Either that, or it is deliberate indoctrination. Probably a little of both.

Point made towards the end of this video:

Basically, there is something bad happening, it disproportionately affects minorities

When there is help/aid etc. available it is often not disproportionately doled out to minorities, we saw it with PPP loans and help with farmers

Whenever aid does start going to the people most affected, cue the cries of anti white racism

HOUSTON — Lawrence Hester worries every time it rains.

During heavy storms, water overflows the dirt drainage ditch fronting his yard and the bayou at the end of his block — flooding the street, creeping up his front steps, pooling beneath the house, and trapping his family inside.

“We are always underwater here,” said Hester, 61.

And yet, the state of Texas allocated none of the $1 billion in federal funds it received to protect communities from future disasters to neighborhoods in Houston that flood regularly, according to an investigation by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

HUD has now found the exclusion of those majority Black and Hispanic urban communities to be discriminatory. The state “shifted money away from the areas and people that needed it the most,” disproportionately benefiting White residents living in smaller towns, the agency concluded……..

Black and Hispanic communities in northeast Houston, including Kashmere Gardens, are especially vulnerable to the more frequent stormsand catastrophic flooding expected due to climate change, according to the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Many of the residential streets lack curbs and gutters — common storm drainage infrastructure in predominantly White neighborhoods in Houston — and rely instead on open ditches dating back to the 1930s…..

The city of Houston had hoped to use $95 million in federal grants to upgrade Kashmere Gardens’ storm drainage infrastructure. The proposedimprovements, including converting some of the ditches to a curb and gutter system, would have removed the flood risk to nearly 1,400 properties.

But without the money, the city shelved those plans……

Federal disaster mitigation grants are supposed to improve the inferior flood infrastructure in lower income communities.

But the HUD investigation found that competition rules set by the Texas General Land Office unfairly favored smaller towns with less urgent needs and where residents are more likely to be White and less likely to be lower income.

The state knowingly adopted scoring criteria that prioritized lower-density areas and excluded communities that HUD designated as the most impacted by disasters from half the grants, HUD said.

“Because the criteria had these unjustified discriminatory effects, their use failed to comply with HUD’s regulations,” the agency found……
