had an interesting evening yesterday [View all]

attended a high school graduation. southside of Tucson. 95% (or more) of names read were Hispanic. class of 2026 won over 12 million in scholarships, 5 students had graduated with associates degrees from Pima Community College the day before, getting their degrees BEFORE their HS diplomas. One student who had an unbelievable story won over 2 million/full ride to Princeton. She gave a barn burner of a valedictorian speech.

My favorite things were NO fucking pledge of allegiance, NO PRAYER, and the school Mariachi band/singer did the anthem.

They are right, the schools are subversively indoctrinating the kids in pride, dei, critical thinking, academic achievement, empathy. No wonder magats so afraid of everything.
