This is an absolute must-read about how a myopic fixation on narrowing racial inequities to the exclusion of all other goals in education in Seattle Public Schools hurt all students, worsened inequities, and hastened a flight for private schools.

Hey, Copilot, How can we get more 9s of reliability?
Copilot: *thinking*...
The user wants more 9s. Checking current uptime. 90.21%. Oh Dear. Only one 9 of reliability. The user is absolutely correct. I must get more 9s... Wow, wonderful. I've found the root of the issue and can offer an elegant solution...
Copilot: Let's reduce uptime to 89.99% to return to three 9s of availability.
@SenMcCormickPA@CAMERA4Truth@SenMcCormickPA please consider publicly opposing the “Future-Ready” Plan at Pittsburgh Public Schools. PPS is poised to accelerate the downward spiral of our schools with a severely misguided equity-focused overhaul.
Anne Frank was targeted and murdered solely because she was Jewish. Leaders making false equivalencies to her experience for political purposes is never acceptable. Despite tensions in Minneapolis, exploiting the Holocaust is deeply offensive, especially as antisemitism surges.
Following yesterday's revelations regarding the conduct of West Midlands Police surrounding events involving Maccabi Tel Aviv supporters, we are deeply concerned by the emerging evidence.
The newly disclosed assessments indicate that the primary threat to public safety and to the Israeli and Jewish communities did not originate from the fans themselves, but from organised radical Islamist groups who were actively preparing and arming themselves with the intention of harming Maccabi Tel Aviv supporters.
The portrayal of Israeli fans as violent was a gross mischaracterisation that served the needs of those actively inciting against an Israeli team.
This framing diverted attention away from credible intelligence warnings regarding extremist elements preparing to target Israeli and Jewish Maccabi supporters, and instead placed blame on the very community that was facing the threat.
The decision to obscure these assessments, and to allow a misleading narrative to take hold, raises serious questions. These acts by law enforcement institutions undermine real security risks, and even encourages a climate in which hostility towards Israeli and Jewish communities can be normalised under the rule of law.
These matters require full accountability.
@WPXI It’s ironic that Pittsburgh City leaders are complaining about the age of our housing inventory while simultaneously considering Inclusionary Zoning, which will make new development even more difficult
“Calls to ‘globalize the Intifada’ and the glorification of Hamas, not in spite of – but because of its atrocities on October 7 – has made an attack like this a matter of when and where.”

@chwolfson@chwolfson any idea why we’re still waiting on these results? There are big implications of this race because Gene is a big proponent of PPS FUP
@WPXI Fantastic! The district needs to start seriously considering the alternative plan, which already has broad community support: https://t.co/Wahmcso2Y2
@WTAE Fantastic news! Our community expects the school board to make data-driven and informed decisions. Meanwhile, the superintendent hasn’t even started collecting some critical data. I have no doubt that this resolution was pulled because he didn’t have the votes
@KDKARadio The school board is gaslighting our community and using closures to implement their agenda to eliminate magnet schools and lower standards further. Parents will continue to flee and this whole process will start anew in a few years.
@KDKARadio@KDKARadio there’s broad consensus that some schools must close. The community is upset because the district hasn’t performed basic due diligence on closures (financials, etc.) and hasn’t shared updated feeder zones or transportation plans with parents.
@MartyGriffinKD Public Works announced that they couldn’t pretreat the roads due to rainy conditions. Why are you obsessed with this non-issue @MartyGriffinKD? If they did pretreat, you’d be upset that they wasted resources 😆
Peter Beinart has an op-ed claiming that outrage among young Black Americans against Israel is one of the causes of Democratic defeat in the 2024 election.
Beware of white progressives who project their own ideological biases onto working-class communities of color. Here’s the ground-level truth. If you’re a young man of color struggling to pay your rent, put food on the table, and keep your family afloat, the furthest issue on your mind is a conflict 5000 miles away. The existential issue for you is inflation. The crippling cost of living is the cause of your discontent. Anyone claiming otherwise is representing their own ideological imagination rather than reality.
