Re: The Shining City Upon a Hill

I've been busy and haven't had a chance to read much of this thread lately. I see nothing has changed. Phil and slim post relevant topics and the liberals deny or deflect.

Facts bother You No Surprise
Too busy with all your mens room checking?

Must be hard carrying all that dead wood.

No Worries Biden Kicking Ass
Did you miss the News 200,000 Millions shots in less than 100 days
Also our surplus vaccine looks like Canada going to get lots since your so worried.
You must be so proud Biden's getting the Job done from the last failed Administration.

Where's your Thank You for President Biden?

Re: The Shining City Upon a Hill

His hands were cuffed behind his back. Is that another lie Phil?
There is no evidence he resisted arrest, so please don't try to lie about this too.

not when the first problem started his hands were free and he was resisting arrest.

no lie use duck duck go for the COMPLETE video.

I have already stated that Chauvin was guilty of all charges.

nice deflect tho

Did you take the wrong medications again

Know wonder your posts don't make any sence.

Don't drink the Bleach as far as the UV light up your Ass no judgements

1) Know should be NO
2) sence should be sense
3) you and you buddies are the ones that seem to like things up your ass .. ie: Tranny's and all that.

as far as the bleach thing.. with your wit I can understand why you can't grasp sarcasm.. sorry "bucko'.

I have watched the video. There wasn't any resisting. He was taken from his vehicle, handcuffed and sat down against a wall. He was then taken across the street and murdered. No resisting.
Yes, I know you said Chauvin was guilty, but you said it was Floyd's fault. That is a lie!! Plain and simple.

Once again you lie. Donny boy was not being sarcastic, he also DID NOT grin while asking a Dr. if it was possible to use disinfect inside the body. He was dead serious.
If you are so adamant he was joking, please post the video and show us where he grinned.

Liberal policies lead to the downfall of nations. They make absolutely no sense and are rotten to the core. They turn greatness in to mediocrity and success into failure. Democrats don't want anyone to strive to be the best. They want us all to be the same - dumbed down.

Virginia moving to eliminate all accelerated math courses before 11th grade as part of equity-focused plan


The Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) is moving to eliminate all accelerated math options prior to 11th grade, effectively keeping higher-achieving students from advancing as they usually would in the school system.


Loudoun County school board member Ian Serotkin posted about the change via Facebook on Tuesday. According to Serotkin, he learned of the change the night prior during a briefing from staff on the Virginia Mathematics Pathway Initiative (VMPI).


"[A]s currently planned, this initiative will eliminate ALL math acceleration prior to 11th grade," he said. "That is not an exaggeration, nor does there appear to be any discretion in how local districts implement this. All 6th graders will take Foundational Concepts 6. All 7th graders will take Foundational Concepts 7. All 10th graders will take Essential Concepts 10. Only in 11th and 12th grade is there any opportunity for choice in higher math courses."

His post included a chart with what appeared to be set math courses for 2022-2030.
VDOE spokesperson Charles Pyle indicated to Fox News that the courses would allow for at least some variation depending on students' skill level. "Differentiated instruction means providing instruction that is catered to the learning needs of each child (appropriate levels of challenge and academic rigor)," Pyle said.
VIRGINIA EXPLORES PLAN TO END ADVANCED DIPLOMAS: 'EQUITABLY SERVING THE NEEDS...OF ALL VIRGINIA LEARNERS
On VDOE's website, the state features an infographic that indicates VMPI would require "concepts" courses for each grade level. It states various goals like "[i]mprove equity in mathematics learning opportunities," "[e]mpower students to be active participants in a quantitative world," and "[i]dentify K-12 mathematics pathways that support future success."
During a webinar posted on YouTube in December, a member of the "essential concepts" committee claimed that the new framework would exclude traditional classes like Algebra 1 and Geometry.
Committee member Ian Shenk, who focused on grades 8-10, said
He added that the concepts courses wouldn't eliminate algebraic ideas but rather interweave multiple strands of mathematics throughout the courses. Those included data analysis, mathematical modeling, functions and algebra, spatial reasoning and probability.

The changes were just the latest of many to prompt concern from parents in the state, which has seen in-fighting over controversial ideas surrounding equity and race.
A Loudoun parent who spoke on the condition of anonymity worried that the changes would "lower standards for all students in the name of equity."
VIRGINIA TEACHER SAYS CRITICAL RACE THEORY HAS DAMAGED COMMUNITY AS FRUSTRATED PARENTS DEMAND CHANGE
"These changes will have a profound impact on students who excel in STEM related curriculum, weakening our country's ability to compete in a global marketplace for years to come," the parent told Fox News on Thursday.
Ian Prior, a Loudoun parent and former Trump administration official, similarly panned the move as a way to "stifle advancement for gifted students and set them back as they prepare for advanced mathematics in college. This is critical race theory in action and parents should be outraged."
Pyle didn't provide an immediate answer to concerns that the new model would hold kids back. It's unclear how exactly the differentiation would occur. When asked for more details, Pyle said, "Differentiated instruction is designed to provide the appropriate levels of challenge and academic rigor for each student."
The changes come as the state also considered eliminating advanced high school diplomas in an attempt to improve equity.

In a lengthy statement to Fox News, Pyle touted the changes as an avenue to "deeper learning."
"For many years, parents and the system have valued and rewarded speed via acceleration and 'covering content' rather than depth of understanding. The Virginia Mathematics Pathway Initiative shifts to a focus on and value for deeper learning through differentiated instruction on grade level that will promote student development of critical thinking, authentic application and problem solving skills," Pyle said.

Biden’s Intelligence Director Vows to Put Climate at ‘Center’ of Foreign Policy


Avril Haines, the director of national intelligence, struck a note of urgency in telling world leaders that climate change must be “fully integrated” with national security. President Biden committed the United States to cutting emissions by half by the end of the decade at a virtual Earth Day summit.

Here’s what you need to know:

• -Biden’s intelligence director tells world leaders climate is now ‘at the center’ of U.S. foreign policy.
• -U.S. says it will sharply cut emissions and increase funds to vulnerable countries to fight climate change.
• -Biden wants to slash emissions. Success would mean a very different America.
• -China’s leader, Xi Jinping, promises to ‘strictly limit’ coal.
• -The virtual summit makes history, but proves even world leaders aren’t immune to tech issues.
• -Fossil fuel industries react carefully to Biden’s emissions pledge.
  
  ... President Biden's plan to sharply reduce carbon emissions will be a tremendous job growth generator as America transitions to a green economy.

Hhhmmm...perhaps Biden's security director should concentrate on catching the terrorist before we suffer another 911. 2 terrorists were just caught crossing the Mexican border. With Biden's open border policy, there's no doubt that many have made it across and are planning an attack as we speak. Biden is weak on crime. Weak on the border and weak in the brain. Thus far he's the worst president since Jimmy Carter. Terrible.

This is all about protecting blacks. Democrats don't think blacks can keep up with white kids in math and science so they did away with the advanced programs.

Re: The Shining City Upon a Hill

I officially love Oklahoma.




Oklahoma passes a law that can protect drivers who run over protesters



CNN)Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt signed a bill Wednesday granting immunity to drivers who unintentionally injure or kill protesters while attempting to flee and which stiffens penalties for demonstrators who block public roadways, according to the Oklahoma State Legislature.


The state Senate passed the Republican-sponsored legislation 38-10 last week. The bill makes it a misdemeanor punishable by up to a year in prison and a $5,000 fine for anyone who obstructs a public street during the course of a protest, according to the legislation. House Bill 1674 also states that drivers cannot be held criminally or civilly liable for killing or injuring a protestor if they are "fleeing from a riot," and there is "reasonable belief" that they are in danger.


he bill comes in the midst of a national conversation around policing, racial bias and the right to demonstration. After months of protests -- some of which turned into riots -- sparked by the death of George Floyd in police custody, Minnesota was again the center of large-scale demonstrations this month. Not only was a former officer convicted in Floyd's death, but calls for justice were reignited by the fatal police shooting of 20-year-old Daunte Wright.
The first days of the protests over Wright's death turned chaotic as some demonstrators threw bottles and launched fireworks and officers deployed tear gas and stun guns.
"We are sending a message today in Oklahoma that rioters who threaten law abiding citizens' safety will not be tolerated. I remain unequivocally committed to protecting every Oklahoman's First Amendment right to peacefully protest as well as their right to feel safe in their community," Stitt said.

That is racist thinking on the part of the Democrats.
