There's a lot of people in this thread with white fragility. No wonder the race baiting coming from DeSantis and the rest of the far right party in this country is so effective.

He had to minor in political theater at Harvard.Not to the extent Ron takes it.
I think this stuff ultimately hurts him....might score some points with the base but long term it's a political negative.He had to minor in political theater at Harvard.
Really...? I’m in my early 70’s.I am sure you did. Just like you are an old woman in her 80s.
You already posted an article that didn't support the claim. Teachers are not teaching homosexuality in elementary school. Good Lord. Don't fall for that crap.What exactly? You don’t think there is some anecdotal evidence of teachers over stepping their bounds in this area?
What point are you trying to make with your “what if” question?
It was a freakin' long time ago. About the time you were okay with Kelley Conway posting compromising photos of her daughter.

He’s definitely not the only one saying it. Dems are jumping all over saying Republicans want to take away SSI.
Think about it. He’s warning that if the system is not fixed it will run out of money. He’s not saying we should dump it. So what can be done to fix it?
Why is this so difficult to understand?
I don't think the focus is on homosexuality but rather "gender affirming care" and what that actually entails and whether "boys can be girls" and what not.You already posted an article that didn't support the claim. Teachers are not teaching homosexuality in elementary school. Good Lord. Don't fall for that crap.
Ron could use a dose of "nuance".....if he really does have national aspirations.I think you’re already beginning to see that. Bombast isn’t always better. But sometimes and in some situations - as in pushback - it works.
The trick is how to blend it with nuance and timing. 🤔
Where are teachers telling boys that's it's okay if they want to be a girl at age 6? This is just a boogeyman that Republicans have created, again, effectively, because here we are discussing it and people actually believe it. Just like killing babies at birth. It's ridiculous...but here we are.I don't the focus is on homosexuality but rather "gender affirming care" and whether "boys can be girls" an what not.
The article I linked does discuss what I think is the real issue.Where are teachers telling boys that's it's okay if they want to be a girl at age 6?

This I understand...but that's not the thought that's being pushed...that educators are teaching kids about homosexuality in their classrooms. Personally, and I am quite certain I teach a couple of boys who will be gay adults, I wouldn't discuss it with them at all, even if they brought it up to me.The article I linked does discuss what I think is the real issue.
How does a teacher or councilor handle a child that comes out as transgender to them. Do they automatically affirm that as is advocated by trans activists...do they notify the parents?....do they keep that between the child and teacher/councilor?
I think you have to notify the parents when we're talking about minors and there's certainly anecdotal evidence that that's not always been done.
Happens all the time, but nothing wrong with it legally. Sourcing minority candidates is a problem for many companies. I assume that is one of the purposes of the NHL’s job fair.I’m asking a question about how employers overcome the issue of being non-discriminatory if they advertise openly and within Federal, state, and local guidelines, yet for whatever reason no minorities ever show up to apply for the job? Besides the trajectory of this thread (which has become personal) I wonder if it’s actually happened? Is that not a reasonable question?
Exactly. It’s got to be a challenge in certain areas.Happens all the time, but nothing wrong with it legally. Sourcing minority candidates is a problem for many companies. I assume that is one of the purposes of the NHL’s job fair.

You think it's reasonable to question whether or not minorities apply for jobs with NHL franchises? I think that is silly to the point of absurdity.I’m asking a question about how employers overcome the issue of being non-discriminatory if they advertise openly and within Federal, state, and local guidelines, yet for whatever reason no minorities ever show up to apply for the job?

Persons of all nationalities, races and ethnicities should be able to apply for any job they’re interested in if they think they have the required specs for the job. Period.You think it's reasonable to question whether or not minorities apply for jobs with NHL franchises? I think that is silly to the point of absurdity.
Then here’s an uncomfortable fact: It’s a historically rooted bias against the profession by the right because it is considered a liberal occupation.
Coming from you ... no thanks.That’s a long long time ago and I hope you have more specific “evidence” because you are just throwing stuff out there. Get real or back off.
Of course I voted for Biden. The other choice was Trump you idiot.Really...? I’m in my early 70’s.
Quite a bit younger than your POTUS. Remember that when you vote in 2024. 😉
Why should the governor be involved in these type of decisions in the first place? What are his qualifications for deciding which investments are best? When did he become a fiduciary?I think Filipkowski should name names.
Who besides Filipkowski is confirming this? He’s making an accusation and not naming names.Why should the governor be involved in these type of decisions in the first place? What are his qualifications for deciding which investments are best? When did he become a fiduciary?

Fox News.Who besides Filipkowski is confirming this? He’s making an accusation and not naming names.
Do you think these groups have been shunned by hockey, or that they just aren’t interested in hockeyYou say this a lot. I would be curious what you think the remedy should be? I think you probably think there shouldn't be remedies and you're going to complain about all of them. Guarantee you're against social democracy. So what then? Look the other way and pretend things are right now? Everything plundered through 1960 was fair and square?
All professional leagues try to make inroads in new markets. This is nothing new.Do you think these groups have been shunned by hockey, or that they just aren’t interested in hockey
Okay. Now will you say he has no business being involved with this? All of his "woke" bullshit is just that.Who besides Filipkowski is confirming this? He’s making an accusation and not naming names.
We will all die of alcohol poisoning which would be so woke.Drink every time DeSantis refers to woke.
I get that, I’m just saying I don’t think discrimination has as much to do with lack of diversity as certain groups are just less drawn to certain activitiesAll professional leagues try to make inroads in new markets. This is nothing new.
