Hard To Believe…
By Mitch Berg
…that a city run by Kim Norton, which has been becoming blue-er and blue-er over time, would play passive-aggressive bureaucratic pattycake games with the citizenry…
…right?
A group of parents, with a Twin Cities law firm, are asking for records related to the district’s adoption of Critical Race Theory.
And how did that go over?
“On Nov. 12, an attorney representing the district said that it would cost ‘Equality in Education’ $901,121.15 to obtain the records and they must prepay before the district completes their request,” the report reads.
The battle lines for next November could not be clearer.

It would be nice if people got as outraged by school shootings as they do about critical race theory….
December 2nd, 2021 at 8:37 am
That would be you, Emery.
December 2nd, 2021 at 8:44 am
I’ve never of such a ridiculous demand before. Is this legal? What are the rules for the release of “public” info? Does the Freedom of Information Act cover this?
And yes, Rochester has become quite the little blue enclave.

It would be nice if people got as outraged by criminals driving over 50 people and killing six instead of pimping for CRT-apologists in the schools.
December 2nd, 2021 at 9:15 am
……. or as mad as they do about wearing masks…….

False equivalence, E. Different problems, different scope.
I’d be willing to bet a brand-new nickel that every school shooter since Columbine had unresolved mental health issues. I can’t fret about every weird kid’s problems because there’s nothing I can do about them. Read “My Brother Ron” by Clayton Cramer for more detail on the problem and solution and why it’s beyond my ability to implement.
I’d be willing to bet another brand-new nickel that introducing Critical Race Theory into the schools will result in a generation of minority kids who believe they are entitled to rape, rob and kill based on the race of their victims. I fret about that because it’s an entirely preventable society-wide path to anarchy and ruin which will lead to backlash and slaughter.
I’m willing to bet a third brand-new nickel that there is no rational basis for mask mandates, lock-downs, travel restrictions, or forced vaccinations and therefore government attempts to do so are massive violations of fundamental rights protected by the Constitution. I fret about that because it’s an entirely preventable society-wide path to tyranny and oppression which will push the nation into a Second Civil War.

Huh. Haven’t liberals – oh, eff it, communists – been telling us since, well, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest how important it is that we accept and integrate those with mental health issues into normal society? That people with mental health issues, regardless of how severe, should be involved in yours, mine, well, everyone’s lives? Especially in the schools, where a welcoming and accepting environment will completely overwhelm psychotic behavior?

JD, you have a lot of shiny new nickels because no one ever wins your bets.
December 2nd, 2021 at 9:47 am
Yeah, just as I suspected, jdm and JD have no idea what CRT is, but they know it’s bad.
December 2nd, 2021 at 9:55 am
Look at the little fella go. Poke, poke, poke, oh please, oh please, oh please… pay attention to me!
December 2nd, 2021 at 10:14 am
OK, if they’re asking for $900 grand for documents related to this, that would indicate that there is a HUGE effort with a TON of documents out there. Something that the school district ought to be open about. They’re obviously very serious about implementing this, judging by their ask.
Reality is here that ever since the “consent decree” with the Obama DOJ and DOEd, things have been going south in Rochester Public. The consent decrees more or less told anyone with “a goodly dose of melanin” that they’d have to really misbehave to be punished, and CRT is now going to tell those that eventually do cross the line that it’s “whitey’s fault.”
One way to address this, behind the before-mentioned, is to get Mother Mayo interested in what’s going on. They will not take it well if their patients start getting robbed, raped, and murdered.

Critical Race Theory doesn’t exist . . . and it’s Awesome! Therefore, anyone who opposes it is an ignorant racist hater who hates hatefully.
This is what passes for rational discourse among Liberals.
December 2nd, 2021 at 10:34 am
CRT is an intellectual construct, a framework for debate and scholarly research. It isn’t a public school curriculum designed to make little Jimmy hate himself.
December 2nd, 2021 at 10:46 am
If that were true, it wouldn’t cost a million dollars to produce the documents to prove it.
December 2nd, 2021 at 10:51 am
JD – I’d say “Q.E.D.”, but that’s probably racist now.
December 2nd, 2021 at 10:58 am
Joe, you really stomped on the little fella. Should we provide one of the MANY links to administrators talking about how crt IS in the classrooms, or would that make the little guys tiny brain explode.
PS troll, crt is: America was born in racism, for racism, by racism, and if you are white you have “privilege” and are an oppressor, and owe all people of color an apology and a lots of money. And shut up whitey.
Got it?

Manufactured outrage has a short shelf-life.
It was over-used and lost its value as a way to increase viewers’ blood pressure. MBerg and his followers will find something else soon.
December 2nd, 2021 at 11:06 am
So, I don’t understand. Bike and JD are responding as if the 900k is a good faith estimate, but I’m saying it’s a random but really big (intimidating) number to prevent anyone or any group from even starting the process. Is it possible to know which is true?
And I repeat: Is this legal? What are the rules for the release of “public” info? Does the Freedom of Information Act cover this? And I’ll add, because this is supposedly public info, why do the requesters have to pay anything?
December 2nd, 2021 at 11:06 am
Interesting how the CRT advocates see racism everywhere except their own explicitly racist ideology.
Maybe they could use some psychotherapy?
December 2nd, 2021 at 11:20 am
“Manufactured outrage has a short shelf-life.”
Like screaming about shootings and claiming universal background checks and banning “assault” weapons will help.
Support for “gun control” is at an ALL time low.
December 2nd, 2021 at 12:25 pm
jdm, I don’t know that it’s “good faith”, but one can approach it from two angles. We can see it as BS, but how do you prove that? So instead, play as if it’s real, and then say “you know, with all these documents, you really need to provide them to the public, NOW, and FREE. This is obviously a major concern on the part of the schools.”
December 2nd, 2021 at 12:38 pm
“He who plays the piper calls the tune.”
The taxpayers fund the public schools. Who, really, can have a better idea about what a child should learn than his or her parents?
December 2nd, 2021 at 2:17 pm
It’s pretty laughable that those who are most into censorship accuse their political opponents of what they do themselves as a matter of course.
December 2nd, 2021 at 3:08 pm
Emery is blathering again.
Apparently he believes that government officials are the best people to choose public school curriculae, like they do in every dictatorship ever.
December 2nd, 2021 at 8:52 pm
You can tell he’s lying: his butt-cheeks are flapping.

Why is it that all the people who have been literally screaming that masks are traumatizing children are absolutely silent in the aftermath of yet another school shooting in America?
December 3rd, 2021 at 10:24 am
Thanks, as always, for the load of useless tangents Emery. Especially the part where you dance in the blood of children in support of useless masking.
You have my permission to criticize others when you can manage to stay on topic.
Idiot.
To repeat: do people typically charge over $90,000.00 for documentation on a “nothing” that “doesn’t exist”? Or for that matter, over things they know will be non-controversial? Is controlling school curriculum even close to censorship?
No.
Idiot.
December 3rd, 2021 at 10:40 am
Do you have statistical evidence for that Emery, or are your glutiae maximae vibrating again?
I’m going to light a match!
Seriously, what the best studies I’ve seen note is that children don’t get, or transmit, the disease very well, as we’ve seen across Europe, but they do need to see faces. If we want to use the atrocity in Michigan as a point of comparison, I’m personally aware of a few suicides among teens in my area traceable to the shutdowns. I do know the cause of the latter, but the police are still investigating the former. We might find, for that matter, that whatever went on in the perp’s head was indeed related to the shutdowns and masking.
Maybe it’s time to take things seriously enough to address corollary damage of the Fauci regime?

I answered this in my 9:32. You didn’t refute my analysis. You didn’t respond on-point. It’s as if you don’t read responses to your questions at all. Why is that, I wonder? Perhaps because you are afraid to learn the answers? Or perhaps because you know the answers but are afraid others will learn them?

@BB — thanks for the advice doctor.
December 4th, 2021 at 1:27 pm
Thanks for the threadjack, the deflection, and the appeal to authority.
Idiot.
