Nothing says a strong commitment to public education like having no teacher certification standards and handing out "free money" to educational failures.

THE WAR ON MERIT, TEACHER EDITION
The City of New York has agreed to pay $1.8 billion to would-be teachers who failed the state’s teacher qualification exam between 1994 and 2014:
Roughly 5,200 black and Hispanic ex-Big Apple teachers and once-aspiring educators are expected to collect more than $1.8 billion in judgments after the city stopped fighting a nearly three-decade federal discrimination lawsuit that found a certification exam was biased.
***
Court rulings found the exam violated civil-rights laws, allowing far more white candidates to pass.
Presumably this was a “disparate impact” case, meaning that the evidence the test was biased was the fact that more whites passed it than blacks. Alternative explanations are inadmissible.
Herman Grim, 64, of Queens, on July 5 was awarded the biggest judgment to date — a jaw-dropping $2,055,383.
It includes $1,583,114 in back pay for time never clocked, lost interest accrued, and other compensation.
***
Grim said he’s in disbelief but the money can’t come fast enough because he’s racked up serious debt on his Queens home and credit cards.
He couldn’t recite examples of why the test was biased.
Presumably these people have been doing something else for a living all these years, so now they will be paid twice. And that isn’t all:
But the cost to taxpayers is expected to be significantly higher because they’ll also be footing the bill for many of the plaintiffs to collect pension checks based on time never worked after they reach retirement age, plus their health insurance.
That is what the city gets for trying to have qualified teachers instructing its children.
One Brooklyn principal said the city was “crazy” to settle the case.
“The standards are the standards,” he said. “It shouldn’t be based on what would be easy for blacks or whites. To hire people who are not qualified and change the requirements because a certain group didn‘t pass the test is bulls–t.”
Yes, but it is bulls–t in which we are now knee-deep. Perhaps the Supreme Court will do something about it someday. -

As much as I don't like Pence.
Her parents are probably Trump supporters so they most likely think it was cool.
You hate Trump. We get it. Give it a rest.
Then I thought about which candidate has supporters that hate Pence with a passion.
It wasn’t hard.
I could be wrong it was probably an VR supporter.
I’m not here to spare feelings.

Do the math and try not to hurt yourself.

First New York dropping teaching standards and now Cali treating math as a Sociology 101 intro class. Team Dazzler and 81 million alleged dem voters approve this sh*t.

California Approves Math Curriculum Promoting "Social Justice" Over Standard Skills
BY TYLER DURDEN
SATURDAY, JUL 15, 2023 - 02:30 PM
Authored by Caden Pearsen via The Epoch Times,
The California State Board of Education approved a new math framework on July 12 that has generated controversy. Critics argue that the framework promotes teaching political activism to children instead of focusing on math skills and standards...
The guidance outlines key strategies such as structuring math instruction around integrated “big ideas,” emphasizing problem-solving and critical thinking, connecting math to real-world applications, incorporating culturally relevant content, fostering inquiry-based learning, and promoting fluency in math concepts and algorithms...
Opponents of the framework, represented by SaveMath.net, founded by private math tutor and former teacher Michael Malione, raise concerns about the lack of vetting for the concept of “big ideas” and the limited involvement of individuals with advanced math degrees in its development.
Mr. Malione argues on his website that the framework’s focus on “social justice” will harm students and that it devotes too little attention to math content standards.
“Typically, a curriculum framework would orient around the content standards regarding when and how they should be taught—to provide guidance to educators, parents, and textbook publishers. The SFR draft framework does not,” he states on his website.
Mr. Malione points out that the framework promotes the use of math to explore concepts of fairness in relation to various social issues and encourages student political activism. It also emphasizes racial justice, equity, gender inclusivity, and trauma-informed pedagogy in math education.
“One would think the proposed math framework would focus on describing how to convey the required math subject content in detail, but unfortunately, it does not,” his website states.
The state’s framework from 2013, by contrast, devotes 66 percent “of its total text (approximately 7,200/10,900 lines of text) to implementing math content standards.” -

If we on the Right decide to start acting like those on the Left, then we have no right to a higher moral ground.
Especially when it come to how our children are taught to behave. The person egging her on should be ashamed.
Good grief.

Related to Julia? Another Spokane Sweeney?PurpleThrobber said: -
Johnny Bench, a Hall of Fame catcher for the Cincinnati Reds, apologized for making an antisemitic joke during the team's Hall of Fame induction ceremony on Saturday for former general manager Gabe Paul and former pitchers Danny Graves and Bronson Arroyo.
After Paul was inducted Saturday, Bench joked that Paul had signed Pete Rose for $400 per month out of high school. Paul's daughter Jennie Paul responded by saying, "That's cheap," which prompted Bench to remark, "He was Jewish," according to WCPO.
On Sunday, Bench issued an apology and called his joke "insensitive." -

Oregon justice. Undercharged, under sentenced and then early release because he wasn't a danger to the community and he fought fire fires as part of a prison unit. So, at least four dead women later it turns out that Tina Brown who only wants to lockdown working Oregonians was wrong - go figure.
