Executive Order 14091, "Further Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities Through the Federal Government", is the vilest and most egregious thing to come from this administration thus far.
This EO mandates that every Executive Branch agency prioritize equal outcomes as the basis of every policy and procedure on the basis of race, socioeconomic status, and sexual orientation. Not only does this go against everyone that took an Oath like me to defend the Constitution, but it also doesn't actually solve the problem. Gone are the days when we can "judge a person by the content of their character" rather than the color of their skin.
Moreover, this adds additional requirements to an already bloated system without additional funding from Congress. So where are they going to get the money, resources, and manpower to enact this? Unfunded Requests (UFR) where the money is allocated away from another program to fulfill this one. We are robbing Peter to pay Paul by implementing this incestuous policy.
The problem is that all of the people willing and able to fight against this from within are either coerced to self-select out of the job/career or forced out through the evaluations/promotions process.
Let's put our heads together to come up with actual solutions for the correctly identified problem. Not drum up nice language to appease society's feelings. I'm talking about Real Solutions to Real Problems.
In this episode, we discuss a bit about ourselves and our motivations for creating this podcast. For too long, the media on both sides have been polarizing the country and society has fractured as a result. The only ones that benefit from this fracture are the major networks that feed on the demagoguery.
It's time to get back to the table and speak as united citizens of a great country. Just because we won't agree on everything does not mean that we can't build an understanding that leads to a compromise. We aim to be a part of that solution.
We want to get back to a point where we can amicably disagree on topics and still fight for each other's rights. That's what this country was founded on and it's what we are willing to fight for.
This is just wrong...outside of the obviously much older boy beating up on a smaller girl or the other boy(s) that jump in to participate in the beating.
The adult driving the bus is nowhere to be seen. Granted, that adult could have broken up the fight off the video so we can give the benefit of the doubt there.
The other children are screaming encouraging violence. Not one of them jumped in to try and stop this from happening.
Society wants to place the blame on the school system, but this starts at home. What type of environment must that boy grow up in to think that this action is okay.
We think that the negativity spewed out on social media has no victim, but it does. It creates a culture that inherently wants to record everything versus taking any action to make a difference.
What died on that bus was a little girl's hope that somebody would step in to help. And that's probably the part that saddens me the most.
