More On The Critical Race Theory

deja vu all over again – we inherit the wind – Scopes Trial – Wikipedia
Search domain en.wikipedia.orghttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scopes_Trial
The Scopes Trial, formally known as The State of Tennessee v.John Thomas Scopes and commonly referred to as the Scopes Monkey Trial, was an American legal case in July 1925 in which a high school teacher, John T. Scopes, was accused of violating Tennessee’s Butler Act, which had made it unlawful to teach human evolution in any state-funded school. The trial was deliberately staged in order to …

In Saner Thought

This is is big deal these days within the dwindle GOP ranks…..Red state after state is trying to pass laws against teaching this to students…..

In case you spend more time worrying about Britney and her stupidity let me flesh out the jest of the theory……..

Critical race theory is an academic concept that is more than 40 years old. The core idea is that race is a social construct, and that racism is not merely the product of individual bias or prejudice, but also something embedded in legal systems and policies.

  • Recognition that race is not biologically real but is socially constructed and socially significant. It recognizes that science (as demonstrated in the Human Genome Project) refutes the idea of biological racial differences. According to scholars Richard Delgado and Jean Stefancic, race is the product of social thought and is not connected to biological reality.
  • Acknowledgement that racism is…

Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better

 How can you determine what the meaning of a word is in a mathematical context?  And where would you find the resource that may put all of that information right at your fingertips?  Solving word problems in mathematics, and all life’s problems are really word problems, requires learning the language of mathematics, which every Adult needs to understand.

Today’s reading may be interesting to see how a word or theory can change over time, starting with two parallel slits that kicked off a world of new questions:

The Double-Slit Experiment
By the early 19th century, most physicists agree with Newton’s well-established theory of light, which says that light takes the form of particles—what we now call photons. But English scientist Thomas Young isn’t convinced, and in 1803, he designs an experiment to test the status quo. Young aims a beam of light at a barrier that has two slits…

Weight Loss Help with cycling phase 2

good going!!!

Frugal Average Bicyclist

So far, my diet is going well. At about 15 weeks in I am down 19 pounds. My goal was one pound a week so I’m ahead of that. But now I’ve decided to tune up my diet a bit and have made a few changes:

New calorie total

My new daily calorie goal is 1900, with a couple days a week I plan to be under 1500.  I think this will make sure the weight loss continues.  A great way to keep track of your calories is the myfitnesspal app I review here:

Toqué a la puerta

Toqué a la puerta. Abrí. Nos miramos. Yo, niño, me encontraba frente a mí, adulto. Reconocimos nuestras facciones. Ambos estábamos reflejados en nuestras miradas. Éramos nosotros, el de ayer y el de hoy, los de un mañana incierto, el aprendiz y el maestro, el infante y el hombre maduro, la primavera y el verano, la mañana y la tarde. Nos saludamos con un beso en cada mejilla. Es costumbre nuestra en la familia. Me invité a conversar en mi buhardilla, en mi estudio, en nuestra biblioteca, donde reposan libros de antaño y de siempre, cuyas páginas leo y consulto. Pasé. Caminé por delante para guiarme hasta el recinto donde escribo, escucho música, reflexiono y leo. Me seguí con asombro al mirar mi casa, mi hogar de adulto, sobre todo porque venía de mi…

Memorial to residential school victims burned in 4-hour vandalism spree in Brantford, Ont. | CBC News (Me: Many Canadians may be nice but at least one is a thoughtless racist)

Brantford police are looking for a vandal who spent more than four hours Friday night damaging a memorial to Indigenous children who died at residential schools.

The lone suspect, caught on surveillance footage, arrived at the Woodland Cultural Centre in the Ontario city — at the site of a former residential school — at about 10:30 p.m. ET Friday. Over the next four hours, the person set fire to numerous items left there to commemorate victims of the residential school system.

Children’s shoes were placed in front of the Woodland Cultural Centre after the remains of an estimated 215 children were detected in unmarked graves near the site of a former residential school in Kamloops, B.C., in May.

France mandates Covid health pass for restaurants and cafés | France | The Guardian

Anyone entering a restaurant, café, shopping centre, hospital or taking a long-distance train in France will have to show a special Covid health pass from August, Emmanuel Macron has announced, as France tightens restrictions to contain the surging Delta variant.

The same Covid health pass – which shows that a person has been vaccinated or had a recent negative Covid test – will be similarly required for anyone over the age of 12 to enter a cinema, theatre, museum, theme park or cultural centre from as early as 21 July, the president said, in a bid to pressure more French people to take up vaccines.

“You’ve understood – vaccination is not immediately obligatory for everyone, but we’re going to extend the health pass to the maximum, in order to push a maximum of you to go and get vaccinated,” the president told the nation.
