Yeah, but we don’t have enough GIs to make a real dent in things.
That is an amazing justification for free college.

Why so amazing?
We educated millions of Americans returning from WWII and we enjoyed a period of prosperity and an expanding middle class, which led to a stable economy that everyone benefited from. Households lived well on one income, which improved quality of life.
You don’t think those are worthy things to recapture?
Well, you’re just wrong about that.
Got proof? It’s not happening in our public school system.
Strong unions, higher relative minimum wage, slightly higher taxes for the top wage earners,
The northeast and California, the states that follow this model, are hemorrhaging middle class.

Look what I found: For Joanne Barber, a second grade teacher at Crestwood Elementary School in Kent, last year’s Black Lives Matter protests presented an opportunity for her to teach more about race. Her class starts with defining social justice and talking about slavery, which led to institutional racism and implicit bias. Barber also weaves race and equity into every subject. Whether it’s learning about scientists or mathematicians of color, sharing social justice facts or reading about…
You’re wrong. It is and has been. Gender Critical Feminism, Critical Queer Theory, etc.
CRT is just the latest track. And one of the least sophisticated by the way.
Most don’t realize we have the space radiation problem solved as well now.

So the Fantastic Four will never really become a thing?
Bummer.
Do you object to what those teachers are doing?
I just skimmed your post, but I didn’t see them mentioning CRT. Just that they were discussing race more in their lessons.
But to your OP, I think it’s all a boogey man. Discussing racism, slavery etc… isn’t some devious plot to mind meld the country and assimilate them into the Borg.

Absolutely.

That’s because you don’t understand it at all.

You didn’t? Odd.

Why should teachers talk about race at all?

They have to. How else are they going to explain it?

Explain what? With the exception of history class there would be no reason to talk about race in any other subject.
Still confusing can’t with haven’t. Not the same thing.

Inequality of outcomes. Double standards. Inequity. Affirmative action.

Far more people graduate college today than they did then. Try again.
zantax:No, earth isn’t a closed system, ton of resources in near space.
…that we can’t introduce into the currently closed earth environmental system.
That’s not correct, Earth is not a closed system. According to NASA:
“Scientists estimate that about 48.5 tons (44 tonnes or 44,000 kilograms) of meteoritic material falls on the Earth each day.”
We educated millions of Americans returning from WWII
Did we? You sure?

And you attribute A to B? Because people went to college? You’re sure that’s the cause?
Let me give you a couple of little hints:
-
You don’t have to go to college to stay out of poverty and have a good life. In fact in many cases it’s probably counterproductive.
-
Everybody isn’t cut out for college. For some (many, most), it is a complete waste of time.
We’re back on topic now. Thanks.

The US middle class started contracting in 1971.
What changed?
