Noah Carl on fashionable indignation versus probity and thinking: 

There are several things to notice here. First, the signatories use the word ‘revisits’ – rather than say ‘examines’ or ‘investigates’ – to imply that the theories in question have already been disproved, and hence that [economic historian, Gregory] Clark is engaged in some sort of futile exercise. Second, so far as I’m aware, ‘naturalization’ refers to the process of becoming a citizen of another country. I presume the signatories meant ‘naturalization’ in the sense of “nature versus nurture,” but it’s a very odd word to use. Third, the signatories refer to the “vast amount of research” that supposedly refutes Clark’s thesis, but don’t actually bother to cite any.

The unhappy signatories do, however, mention race and racism repeatedly - as, it seems, is the custom - despite the offending paper referring to race precisely zero times. 

Not entirely unrelated.*

Regarding the above, it occurs to me that if people are obliged, on pain of social exclusion and near-immediate career destruction, to mouth pieties that are illogical, blatantly question-begging, and which jar with observable reality, this will tend to result in an erosion of probity, a habit of pretence, and perhaps a kind of neuroticism.

Speaking of academic standards, an Ohio resident shares her displeasure with woke educators and their niche preoccupations: 

“Now, the residents with kids who did find out about your deviant curriculum, they pulled their kids out as fast as they could. More are withdrawing their kids because the school has lost control of the classroom environment,” she said. She took a moment to collect her thoughts, and then went on to say that “in the document for critical race theory, the stated goal is to make children activists in their own home. What does that mean?” She asked. “Why are you trying to create an adversarial relationship between parents and child when that is the relationship that needs to be strengthened?”

And somewhat related, Christopher F Rufo shares a conference for North Carolina’s public school teachers: 

At the first session, “Whiteness in Ed Spaces,” school administrators provided two handouts on the “norms of whiteness.” These documents claimed that “(white) cultural values” include “denial,” “fear,” “blame,” “control,” “punishment,” “scarcity,” and “one-dimensional thinking.” […]

Parents, according to the teachers, should be considered an impediment to social justice. When one teacher asked, “How do you deal with parent pushback?” the answer was clear: ignore parental concerns and push the ideology of antiracism directly to students. “You can’t let parents deter you from the work,” the teachers said. “White parents’ children are benefiting from the system” of whiteness and are “not learning at home about diversity (LGBTQ, race, etc.).” Therefore, teachers have an obligation to subvert parental wishes and beliefs. Any “pushback,” the teachers explained, is merely because white parents fear “that they are going to lose something” and find it “hard to let go of power [and] privilege.”

Subverting the preferences of parents regarding their own children, and disdaining parents who object as moral and cognitive inferiors, driven only by ignorance and “privilege” - and doing all this with an air of self-satisfaction and self-elevation, as “equity leaders” bravely correcting the world – well, this has obvious appeal, for certain kinds of people. Certain personalities.

And given their preoccupation with “microaggressions,” at least when purported victims are deemed sufficiently brown, our woke educators seem oddly unconcerned by the likely effect on white peers, and on white children, of continually being told, based on clown-shoe woo, that their pallor is problematic, harmful, the cause of all injustice. Something to atone for. Something to be fixed.

When did this racist shit become ‘the work’? Shouldn’t they be teaching kids maths and English?

Well, indeed. The presumption, the practised arrogance, is quite a thing. But as we’ve seen, many times, leftist educators don’t on the whole seem overly concerned with the preferences of parents, i.e., the people ultimately paying their salaries. For many, thwarting those preferences seems to be quite gratifying, a basis for in-group status.

And given leftist psychology, this is hardly surprising. Imparting the basics of arithmetic or geography or whatever is, at least in their eyes, fairly low-status, terribly humdrum - an inadequate vehicle for self-imagined brilliance. While being a “change agent,” an “equity leader,” is much more exciting. Much more flattering to insecure egos.

More news from my former alma mater. When they banned the Gator Bait cheer I stopped wearing any Gator gear and waited to see if they would actually follow through on that ban come football season. When at the start of the first game they decided to kneel I turned the tv off and haven't watched them since. Well, as an experiment I did kind of try to watch the SEC Championship game, but I found that I just didn't care. There is a huge hole in my life right now but I simply cannot support this bigotry in any sense. Unfortunately most Americans, most "conservative" and even "pro-Trump" Americans, lack the cajones to do the simplest of things like stop watching the NBA, MLB, NFL, etc.

So the school board guy silences the black lady as quickly as he can, and then tells her, “I don’t care if you were there and I don’t care if you’re black, I’m gonna stay woke.”

Why, it’s almost as if Wokesters regard black people as weapons to be used against the Wokesters ‘s fellow whites, rather than as people.

Professional Managerial Class: those folks who hop from one job to another every few years as they climb their career 'ladder', often having business degrees in management, but knowing little about what they are managing. [By changing jobs frequently they can stay one step ahead of their own 'stuff-ups' and not be found wanting.]

I and my colleagues started to encounter these wonderfully self-important, always well dressed creatures in the mid-1990s when I worked in the disability field. We quickly coined the term 'content-free managers' to describe them. Educating them was difficult as they had no real interest or sense of vocation, save their own careers.

[pst314]

NTSOG: I agree entirely. These people are a drain on whatever organization they are in. Remember when managers were people who had been hired out of high school, had risen in the organization, and had been promoted into management only when they showed ability and character?

[pst314]

Another anti-Asian attack by a white supremacist:

"A 68-year-old man [was] punched in the face by a stranger on a Tribeca subway train, leaving him in critical condition, was the latest victim of anti-Asian hate, a good Samaritan who helped the victim told the Daily News.

The victim was minding his business riding an uptown No. 1 train when the unhinged assailant, sporting a fedora, black leather jacket, pink hoodie and an elaborate gold necklace, boarded the train about 2:40 p.m. Friday, sources said.

'You motherf---ing Asian,' the snazzily-dressed man yelled, according to witness George Okrepkie.

Without warning, the 6-foot-2 attacker walloped the victim in the face leaving him covered in blood that dripped down his jacket."

The photo at the link makes clear the race of the attacker, even though the text of article does not (to state it in print would, after all, be raacist.)

Heh. I've never considered them worthy of a non-profane euphemism. I first encountered this phenomenon in the mid-to-late 80s when a student consulting me for careers advice told me his goal was to 'become a manager'. 'Managing what?', my not unreasonable question, was met with blank incomprehension. I would have to endure similar exchanges perhaps hundreds over times over the next decade. The notion that management was a discrete skill that could be applied successfully in absolutely any setting seems to have been promulgated by business schools and spread like toxic spores by graduates of the MBA courses that were starting to proliferate at that time.

pst314: "How about someone who, after years in their profession, gets an MBA? I've known a few engineers who did just that."

Fair enough, but such people have a vocation and have operated in the real world and, presumably, are well grounded before embarking on an MBA.

The ones I met from mid-1990s on had not worked 'on the ground' in the field in which I worked. They came and went with monotonous regularity. They could recite the PC playbook according to Head Office accurately, but what happened in Adventureland where I worked was not the same as what happened in HO Fantasyland. They were granted great authority, but had no actual clinical expertise. A case in point: A new General Manager was appointed to the Disability Department. He had worked in a government department which provided state funded housing for poor/disadvantaged people. It's often the case that people with disabilities take various medications. Under the Act of Parliament covering disabilities there must be a monthly reporting of use of medications administered to those who are in government care and it must be signed off by the Designated Officer under the Act, i.e. the General Manager. In signing off on the report the GM would be declaring that the use of medication was proper and correct. The new GM tried to get someone else - a trained disability nurse - to sign off on the report stating he [the GM] had no understanding of or training in the use of medication with people with disabilities, nor had he worked in the disability field before. To have someone else sign would have been illegal under the Disability Act: hence a content-free manager.

[pst314]

dammit, I hate it when I'm too late and the Tweet-idiot takes their account private.

Damn. An app that snapshots a tweet with a single click would be extremely useful.

Also Trump's fault, of course, at the link.

Judging from a story I heard from Old Man Dave, an elder Yinzer I once knew, content-free managers have been around since at least the 1970s.

I don't think so. I think if you can display a slide like that in a room full of science teachers and no is willing to say that it's obviously crap then the system most likely broke, or was consciously broken, a very long time ago. This is just the symptom of the start of the end stage collapse.

[Farnswoth M Muldoon]

...a conference for science teachers.

Among the comments at the link someone found a link to the 2019 schedule and it looks like the sciency conference has next to bugger all to do with science. Of course, particularly in Washington state, the "science teachers" likely know next to nothing about nasty things like chemistry and physics and merely teach grade and high school versions of "Rocks for Jocks* 101".

Also noted was that nigh all the speakers are female**, but to point that out and draw conclusions would be bigotry.

I believe the required tactic these days is to denounce the authors of the offending research, call for the sacking of the journal editors, demand that the degrees of all participants be withdrawn, and demand reparations paid to all BIPOCLGBTQ++ folk.

“I thought about it for just a moment ... and realized that the saying actually has a much darker history that most people aren’t aware of,” Dixie Neilson, Executive Director of the Matheson History Museum, said.

What is even more bizarre is that while this cheer started in 1995, by a black safety no less, and I certainly can attest that I never heard it in my years (1980-1984), my wife's cousin and a number of other alumni (all leftists so far) from the 60's and 70's claim to have heard it back then.

Young black men targeting elderly Asians has been going on long before Trump. I remember during the Rodney King riots in Los Angeles in 1992 the really open and vicious racism against the Koreans who had small businesses in low income/poor black neighborhoods. This indoctrination of young blacks that the success of Other People is always at their expense (and has nothing to do with personal responsibility and hard work) has a long, ugly history.
