Text of the page (random words):
us life and death whether a school is teaching critical race theory or not seems to depend entirely on whether the inquiring person wants them to are you anti crt then you may rest assured american schools most certainly aren t teaching crt if you press a bit and ask why the district has cancelled all of the advanced math classes in the name of equity you ll be politely informed that this isn t crt and further that you are full of hate so so full of hate on the other hand if you are in favor of crt then you will be heartened to know that the schools definitely are teaching crt the national education association nea is according to wikipedia the largest labor union and the largest white collar representative in the united states 2 it represents public school teachers and other support personnel faculty and staffers at colleges and universities retired educators and college students preparing to become teachers the nea has just under 2 3 million members and is headquartered in washington d c 3 the nea had a budget of more than 341 million for the 2012 2013 fiscal year 4 the nea has been hard at work at their annual meeting this summer passing among doubtless many other important union matters the alluringly named new business item 39 the nea will with guidance on implementation from the nea president and chairs of the ethnic minority affairs caucuses a share and publicize through existing channels information already available on critical race theory crt what it is and what it is not have a team of staffers for members who want to learn more and fight back against anti crt rhetoric and share information with other nea members as well as their community members b provide an already created in depth study that critiques empire white supremacy anti blackness anti indigeneity racism patriarchy cisheteropatriarchy capitalism ableism anthropocentrism and other forms of power and oppression at the intersections of our society and that we oppose attempts to ban critical race theory and or the 1619 project it goes on but the grammar here is so atrocious that i had to pause to double check what exactly the nation s largest union of educators had written this is a complicated sentence given the nested nature of the resolution s clauses but we can simplify it by only looking at subjects verbs and parts that make no sense at all the nea will share and publicize have a team and share information provide a study and that we oppose attempts to ban critical race theory and or the 1619 project absolutely pathetic i might just be a mom but at least i have a grasp of basic grammar these people are teachers i like the inclusion of anthropocentrism here it s good to remind children that when dogs are allowed to pee on random trees but they aren t this is speciesism and speciesism is evil true equality will not have been achieved until children and dogs are treated equally but let s go on c publicly through existing media convey its support for the accurate and honest teaching of social studies topics including truthful and age appropriate accountings of unpleasant aspects of american history such as slavery and the oppression and discrimination of indigenous black brown and other peoples of color as well as the continued impact this history has on our current society you might have thought that the purpose of school was to equip children with the skills they ll need in adulthood but it s actually to make children sad the association will further convey that in teaching these topics it is reasonable and appropriate for curriculum to be informed by academic frameworks for understanding and interpreting the impact of the past on current society including critical race theory ah yes academic frameworks you see whether you re busy teaching kindergarteners their abcs or trying to help the whopping 28 of 12th graders who still can t even read at a basic level it s important to make sure you re using college level academic frameworks for the concepts you introduce to your students supposedly the people who wrote this or at least who voted on it are real teachers who have totally interacted with real children and understand the meaning of the phrase age appropriate instruction and aren t just trying to shoehorn their political beliefs into an utterly inappropriate context d join with black lives matter at school and the zinn education project to call for a rally this year on october 14 george floyd s birthday as a national day of action to teach lessons about structural racism and oppression followed by one day of action that recognize and honor lives taken such as breonna taylor philando castile and others sic aside from being entirely inappropriate this is grammatically pathetic usa s economy social order is built on interactions between different cultures races don t worry evie they said cultural marxism isn t hiding under the bed waiting to eat your fingers because cultural marxism isn t real oh my sweet readers cultural marxism is real very real and the only reason it isn t hiding under your bed is because it s busy reshaping marxist arguments about the structure of society and the economy being determined by a nation s economic system into an argument that they re determined by the nation s racial system to deny opportunities to teach truth about black brown and other marginalized races minimalizes the necessity for students to build efficacy i think this sentence is grammatical it just sounds like schizophrenic word salad and actually says the opposite of what it is supposed to to simplify make it more understandable denying opportunities minimizes the need for students to become more effective not needing to be more effective is a good thing it means that students are already just as effective as they need to be i think they wanted to say denying opportunities minimizes the opportunities for students to become more effective look over your work before you send it out people if necessary get a friend to edit your work for you they ll probably catch mistakes you overlooked the ancient african proverb says know thyself this is just thrown in randomly at the end of the paragraph with no context a turkish proverb says those who want yogurt in winter must carry a cow in their pocket and an arabic proverb says someone who can t dance says the ground is sloping know thyself is incidentally also a greek aphorism it was inscribed in the temple of apollo at the oracle of delphi but i have no leisure for them at all and the reason my friend is this i am not yet able as the delphic inscription has it to know myself so it seems to me ridiculous when i do not yet know that to investigate irrelevant things socrates phaedrus of course know thyself is short and straightforward enough that it is probably a bit of wisdom given in many cultures and finally the money this item cannot be accomplished with current staff and resources under the proposed modified 2021 2022 strategic plan and budget it would cost an additional 127 600 someone will be well paid for this grift at least you may take some comfort my reader that the quantum state of crt in the schools has collapsed the teachers union has voted unambiguously in its favor 12 comments review seven pillars of wisdom by t e lawrence june 26 2021 evolutiontheorist book club arabia bedouins book review books lawrence of arabia seven pillars of wisdom t e lawrence wwi wisdom has built her house she has set up its seven pillars proverbs 9 1 t e lawrence is the lawrence of arabia and seven pillars of wisdom is his autobiographical account of his time spent serving in the british and arab armies during world war one if you ve seen the movie you ve got the basic idea but it s always good to read the original this is a pretty hefty book my copy clocked in at about 690 pages the trick is to read about 50 pages a day then you will finish it before the library wants it back the first hundred pages or so will make more sense if you already know a bit about the british ottoman front in wwi but if you don t want to read an additional four or five hundred pages in preparation just read my reviews of lawrence in arabia and the berlin baghdad express in particular you ll want to know something about the absolute disasters that were gallipoli and the siege of kut lawrence played a small bitter role in the latter once you get into the meat of lawrence s adventures however the book stands perfectly well on its own t e lawrence was originally a british archaeologist who traveled to the middle east to study crusader era castles and fell in love with the region when britain and the ottoman empire went to war lawrence was one of the few brits with any first hand knowledge of the area people and language so he was sent to the intelligence bureau in british controlled cairo to draw up maps for the troops the war was of course a terrible idea for everyone involved the ottoman empire was on its last legs but the british generals were too stupid to strike anywhere useful and kept insisting on throwing its men into yet more trenches the war also put the bedouin population around mecca in a bind for while they were ruled by the ottoman turks they got most of their income and thus their food from the annual pilgrimage and the world s largest muslim country and thus their biggest source of pilgrims was british india the bedouins simply couldn t afford to go to war with britain they d starve but they could afford to take british food and guns and gold and rebel against the turks so they did prince faisal king of iraq from 1921 to 1933 but how could the british actually manage a rebellion down in arabia especially when the locals were deeply distrustful of the british and the arab aristocracy didn t want to let christians anywhere near their holy cities this is where lawrence who actually spoke arabic and understood something of the culture inserted himself he convinced the arab leaders to let him journey far enough inland to actually meet them liaisoned between them and the british in order to get them the guns and supplies they needed and so made himself useful enough that prince faisal decided to keep him around lawrence was from the beginning suspended between two armies his basic job was to get faisal to do what the british wanted lawrence was after all a british subject in pay of the british army moving troops here and there and attacking the turks as needed this was obviously complicated by the fact that what was in faisal s interest wasn t necessarily in britain s interests and vice versa and so to get the arabs to do what they wanted the british commanders weren t above lying for lawrence actually on the ground among the troops actively deceiving people into giving their lives to benefit the british was a heavy burden and he assuaged his conscience by trying to minimize casualties and giving faisal the best advice he could to position the arab troops favorably come the inevitable post war settling of accounts lawrence soon realized that the arab troops he was accompanying were not even remotely suited to modern european style trench warfare for that matter neither were european troops but the sheer size of european armies allowed them to keep throwing men into the giant war grinder for years on end the arab armies were too small and poor to grind through men and materials in this way if they tried to face the turks in head to head combat they would run out of men and collapse while laid up with dysentery or some similar illness lawrence had plenty of time to think through all of the books of military strategy he d read and ponder the point of war the point of the arab rebellions wasn t the shedding of blood nor even the conquering of enemy territory it as simply to make the turks go away and this was best achieved not by killing the turks but by being a pain in the ass making it difficult for them to maneuver in arabia in open combat the arabs were at a distinct disadvantage they had fewer men fewer resources fewer weapons and no way to conscript troops or force the soldiers to even stay and fight if a battle turned against them but when it came to sabotaging supply lines the arabs were at a distinct advantage because turkish rail lines went through hundreds of miles of trackless uninhabited desert where a raiding party could materialize in an instant do damage and then disappear by contrast the arab supply lines were basically wells camels and forage thus in lawrence s words while the traditional army was a solid immobile block tethered to supply lines the arab army should be like a gas materializing where needed doing damage and then melting back into the landscape indistinguishable from ordinary bedouins with their tents and herds thus was born lawrence s strategy of leading small parties of men and camels across the desert to blow up trains bridges and track with the occasional unavoidable battle it s a good book is it 690 pages worth of good not quite i think lawrence could have cut about a hundred pages worth of descriptions of sand and rocks but that s still 590 pages of exciting train demolitions and life or death struggles across the desert the book also chronicles lawrence s mental degeneration under the strains of war starvation torture and watching people die sometimes by his own hand if you re the sort of person who likes long books about wars like lord of the rings or war and peace seven pillars of wisdom should be right up your alley 5 comments review lawrence in arabia june 10 2021 evolutiontheorist uncategorized book review books lawrence in arabia lawrence of arabia ottoman empire t e lawrence wwi scott anderson s lawrence in arabia is quite obviously about the famous t e lawrence of arabia the book ranges significantly wider than lawrence s personal account however shifting between the perspectives of ottoman officials german spies american spies zionist spies and of course british spies i read this book concurrently with the berlin baghdad express so my apologies if some of my memories overlap and i ascribe to one book content actually found in the other the two books complement each other very well the berlin baghdad expres s basically focuses on the german ottoman side of the war with special attention given to the characters of max von oppenheim and his protégé curt prufer while lawrence in arabia focuses more on the allied side of the war following primarily lawrence of course jewish spy aaron aaronsohn american oil spy william yale and occasionally ottoman officials like enver pasha if you only have time to read one book i d recommend lawrence in arabi a because it also covers the lives of prufer and oppenheim but you d be missing out on the true depths of the german ottoman strategy world war one is not light reading most of the war can be best described as insane human carnage over absolutely nothing the arabian end of the war is slightly less bad simply because the arabs did not have the numbers to send...
