As I
watched a program last evening on how the diversity equity and
inclusion mantra has impacted our schools, it dawned on me this is the
exact road to socialism that is envisioned by the Democrat far left.
Schools dropping honors programs where the gifted and intelligent
children thrive and succeed, because those programs are not inclusive to
those who do not strive to achieve. The twisted logic is to force
everyone on the same level regardless of talent and ability; in other
words, lower educational standards to the least intelligent child in the
class.
At least one school
has withheld honors certificates from the students that needed them for
college admissions so that all, including the non-achievers, would have
an equal college application possibility. Punish those who overachieved
in search of equity and inclusiveness. Create additional divisiveness in
our children, feed them lies that will separate them from their
parents, make achievement a bad thing.
Spending tax dollars to tell children that any sex is okay and you can change sex preferences at a minutes notice is abysmal. No, it's sick. A boy decides he identifies as female today and wants to use the girls bathroom and is allowed to do so although tomorrow he may identify as male? A male with male genitals is allowed to use the girls locker room because he identifies as a transgender female? What the hell is this "identify" crap anyway. If I identify as the President of the US does that mean I can move in to the White House? If I identify as the Pope can I sit on the throne in Rome? This entire gender bending is not only immoral and outrageous but sickening as well. There are two sexes, male and female. Period. The new buzzwords "gender dysmorphia" is a nicely coined phrase that used to be called mental illness!
People who worked hard and
earned their wealth are now the bad guys; those who sat on their
collective rear ends on the public dole are now considered the heroes
who deserve everything at the expense of those who worked for it. Home
ownership is gained by work, not welfare. Moving up to a nicer home and
neighborhood is by hard dedicated work, not some government gimme
program. Regardless of color or national origin most intelligent people
strive to be better and have better. Government programs just destroy
that spirit.
Imagine working many years to achieve home ownership in a nice community, only to be told that simply because of that work ethic and savings you are an elitist and not inclusive. So the government will force lower income people into your neighborhood, using your tax dollars to subsidize down payments, help them relocate and settle, all in the name of diversity and equity. No consideration to what that does to a community, no consideration that people's work and living standards widely differ and you worked to get here while they did not. Then when those who move in allow their living standard, or lack thereof, to become a scourge on the community, many people will flee and the entire community dissolves into a ghetto. The government will then buy up homes, rent them as Section 8 and other subsidized program housing and increase the lower socioeconomic residency. Think that's a harsh statement? Look at the suburbs where the original homeowners fled because of HUD and similar housing programs and look at the before and after photos and videos. The ghettos in major cities just didn't happen by themselves, the government in it's wisdom was the driving force behind that.
I see this as becoming a two class country with the
filthy rich and the lower class. Middle class is being eroded with
costs and inflation and the government mandates. Forcing people to buy
all new appliances they cannot afford to meet some nefarious energy
goals, while not fixing the national grid to handle the surge. Ceasing
use of natural gas appliances including furnaces, stoves, dryers and hot
water heaters, and forcing replacement with electric at huge costs that
will never be recouped by consumers, even if they can afford to make the changeover, which many cannot. Doles to help low income families
move into upper class neighborhoods in the quest for inclusion, when
most of those who cannot afford homes also cannot afford to maintain
them. Government speaks of moving people to better living accommodations
improves their living standard....looks like they never looked at what
the huge expensive public housing became when populated with lower
socioeconomic groups. They turned brand new apartments into shit boxes
in short order and then complained the units were not habitable. I'm
sure there were toilets and sinks in place when built, but residents
taking them out and selling them seemed to be a regular occurrence. And
no, the cockroaches were not an integral part of the build either, they
came with the tenants. That is fact from someone who inspected those buildings when they were still halfway livable.
We are at a crossroads in America. Our government has run amok with a system of installing misfits in key positions, trampling all over the rights of taxpayers, outrageous spending and give away programs, and trying to destroy the very fabric of society as we knew it. Those who continue to vote Democrat simply because they always have voted that way need to wake up and see what is happening. If they don't care about themselves they need to think about their children and future generations who will inherit this country.
This is one time in my life I am glad to be old and will likely never see the outcome of these asinine policies and mandates. But my children and grandchildren, and yours, deserve better.
