The point is that even in a society where everyone has an equal shot at academic success there will still be a noticeable correlation between parental income level and student achievement. Therefore the fact that a correlation exists doesn&

I was giving them the benefit of the doubt and assuming that they were referring to tech roles. If not, your point is spot on.

Very loud signaling. That will resonate with some and turn off others. I'm in the second camp. Saying you're planting "forests" not just "trees" is ambiguous hogwash. The faux-impressed response by the Mother N

Interesting take. I understood conservatives to use it because it is also taking a shot at the so-called MSM, who dubiously created the phrase. I never knew people though conservatives were being muppets by using it.

I'm not sure Allbirds "lost its way". Instead, it seems that their "way" was ESG, and that made their products too expensive and insufficiently durable.

Why stoop to baseless insults? Even if you don't want colleges to be accountable, surely you can't deny that transparency regarding student outcomes would be useful.

Republicans have proposed laws to increase transparency to families regarding outcomes of graduates. They also want to make colleges accountable when graduates cannot pay off their loans. [1] I don't think there has been any support fr

IIRC some med schools are getting rid of grades in favor of pass/fail. This makes it hard to tell which students are great and which ones barely passed.

You aren't aware that LGBTQ+ advocacy groups are opposed to some religious groups? And that their their opposition is because of the religious beliefs? This is not a secret.

by crackercrews 3y ago
You missed the point. I was asking if a group that hated orthodox religious groups would be considered a hate group. You are addressing whether religious groups can be hate groups.

What about hating on a orthodox Jews, or Muslims, on account of their beliefs about transgenderism? Aren't they protected classes?

Many groups advance hatred. From the right, there are groups that hate transgender-advocacy groups that do youth outreach. From the left, the feeling is reciprocated. Depending whom you ask, these groups are either hate groups or "savi
