The words you are looking for are “he was not a True Conservative(TM).” This is what Republicans always say. They said it about both Bushes, about Newt Gingrich and about Mitt Romney. They will say it about Trump and McConnell. The vaunted True Conservative(TM) is the Messiah who will come, unify the country, bring

nakedly implying that they do not understand why people would be upset about the idea of someone advising on managing the aftermath of her own fatal ineptitude

the district in providing diversity and cultural competency training for Middleton School District employees

Identifying the rapist and saying he is a member of the victims’ family and telling personal details about the victims... I mean, it is not quite publishing the survivors’ names, but it is pretty close, isn’t it?

This isn’t fairy tale land where everyone can live happily just letting people come and go from every country in the world

Crazy? No, suppression of black and other racial minority votes is the literal history of the United States since the end of Reconstruction. That is like saying the idea people go to Las Vegas to gamble is crazy: folks have been doing that for 70+ years.

Lol! Thank you. You made my evening.

I did not bring up education providing fewer qualified candidates*. LeftOfRightOfCenter did. You came in to defend him and wrote 2 paragraphs about education. I tried to steer it back to what the thread was about rather than education which Facebook (the subject of the article) cannot control. Also, minority education

Lots of fields deal with lower numbers of women and minorities. The medical field has the same problem with fewer minorities at the graduate level, but they are not driving out all the ones that do get in. Why? Because medical culture doesn’t have the extreme degree of racism found in tech bro culture. You know, what

It definitely is about who is outraged. They are far more willing to penalize minorities or women for criticizing people like those dominating the tech bro culture (white and Asian men). There are examples cited in this comment section.

Because even if you accept what he says is true, it completely fails to explain what is happening. There is a retention rate problem for anyone who is not a white or Asian man. Tech companies complain about it. There is longitudinal survey data. We can see the demographic differences between those who finish

I know this will blow your mind, but the people who have looked at this considered the differences in primary and secondary and college education before they drew their conclusions. The people who look at this are not stupid.

Of course. Facebook draws employees from the same tech bro culture that excludes women and is almost entirely white and Asian while claiming they are all meritocratic. They are demographically and ideologically perfect for a hotbed of racism and sexism.

First he is going to use law enforcement like the Gestapo and now you have shifted over to causing people to leave in frustration with mismanagement. How one leads to the other in 4-8 years is still undefined.

You cannot just replace civil servants. It doesn’t work that way for this very reason. That is why Republicans have pushed so hard over decades to repeal civil servant protections. They want to ignore the law and believe Democrats will behave more ethically than Republicans will when Democrats get power.

I am surprised he hasn’t deployed his gestapo in mass quantities to go after every single person listed under DACA and the people around them

Whose side is Betsy on, the students’ or the schools’?

Have you ever tried to or actually recovered stolen wages? Everybody makes mistakes from time to time, so there is always a “performance issue” pretext to fire you.

Finding highly skilled people willing to work retail is hard. Better not give them bad hours.

Lol, don’t believe the Texas Secretary of State...
