>>>A central concern of Nimble and its leftist clients is mindsets about race. The goal is to hire only teachers who are “anti-racist” activists, who will reject equal treatment of all students in favor of discrimination against some (whites) for the supposed benefit of others (racial minorities). Note that under this rubric, Asian students, who as a group work hard and consequently excel, don’t qualify as an oppressed racial minority.<<<
Well, want it or not... it's coming...

This will severely damage the public education system in the Us as those who don’t support it and who can find other arrangements will do so. It’s not new but it’s more open and obvious now. Schools were anti Christian years ago. They were teaching modified history and other things. 20 years ago they were weeding out teachers in their credentialing exams through the use of essays. Someone might pass all the testing answers but if the essay wasn’t straight liberal, they were marked down for abilities, not for content. There is no recourse either, except to write the mind of essay the exam readers are looking for.
There is a huge anti Asian and anti Semitic push but u til now it’s been hidden. They lump all Asians to one racial/ethnic group and say it’s unfair they do so well in school, without looking at why. Educational success is prized in many Asian households.

Yes it will destroy our education system which has been on the downfall for quite some time now.
What they claim and what they are doing are exactly the opposite...
>>>“anti-racist” activists, who will reject equal treatment of all students in favor of discrimination against some (whites) for the supposed benefit of others (racial minorities)<<<
The parts in red are of particular concern: Anti-racist is fine, but activist is a race enabler making them racist and not anti-racist as they claim.
Then they further go on to explain discrimination against some... which means discrimination and thus racist... regardless of whether it's white, brown, black, red, yellow or other color... it's discrimination by color of skin which means you cannot get any more racist that that!!!

The only way to be non racist is to be color blind.
Yes, and we were making great strides in that direction in the late 1970's, 1980's and early 1990's.
It was from the mid 1990's that the color blindness started taking a turn for the worst.

They discovered it’s politically advantageous to redefine how to use race. It’s so sad people are being used like that.

They didn't discover it... they've been using it all along.
The cotton plantation owners were all Democrats. That's what started our Civil War.
The KKK was created by Democrats and many are still supporters today.
The Democrats have been enticing the Black poverty stricken to vote Democrat for 40 or more years with free handouts but only during election years. Other than that, they did nothing for the Black poverty stricken people. Trump did help them and thus many have turned from the Democrats today.
The Democrats are always using the race card to egg the public on too.
And thus now, they're just continuing what they've always done and that is use them for their own political advantage. So they didn't just discover it! They just found new ways to implement it.

Why don’t more people know that?
The Democrats deny it.
The fact checkers all say it's false.
Big tech attempts to remove it from their boards.
It's not taught in our schools.
Many parents don't even realize it.
So how are kids supposed to learn about it? That's why so few know about it.
