It’s truly shocking that our leaders believe they are above the law. At this point let these fools continue and lose all their federal funding. 50th in education rankings is still attainable

Call it what it is – racism. Our OR legislature is predominantly white people filled with white guilt, with a smattering of other ethnic groups who also hold a racist grudge against white people. Rep. Hoa Nguyen (Vietnamese lineage) is happy to stick another knife in the back of white students on behalf of woke ideology. This bill makes it clear the Oregon Legislature intends to promote racist policies but changed the earlier bills only under threat of Trump's DOE withholding federal funds. So they're going to continue to screw white people but use Oregon taxpayers to fund their racial hatred.

The only way to fix Oregon's contemporary anti-white racism is to fire our elected politicians.

Unfortunately, many wealthy white voters also support prioritizing dark skinned people above Caucasian Oregonians because they feel guilty about their wealth. White skinned people who inherited money from their parents or grandparents are taught they have race advantages. Instead of giving away their inheritance or their expensive homes or their cushy, high paying jobs, they want poor and working class people to pay the reparations bill. In this case, we pay, our children and grandchildren get screwed out of opportunities.

Fight, fight, fight → Sue, sue, sue!

A discredited idea. "U.S. elementary school students do not particularly benefit from being taught by teachers of the same race or ethnicity. That’s the major finding from a new study, published in Early Childhood Research Quarterly." https://shorturl.at/h4XQh

Where is this research which is counter to what Thomas Sowell has published? We need statistics, not words like a TOC at some point or a significant boost of academic progress:

"... body of research that has shown that when a student of color has a teacher of color at some point in their educational journey, it significantly boosts their academic progress".

Counter-example: Asian students outperform all other Americans (including the odious term POC); is this because they had a TOC or is it part of their cultural values? Same patterns with Asians in the workforce who earn significantly more that their white or other POC colleagues. Welcome a pro bono legal assault on this practice which runs counter to the recent Supreme Court decision...

Mr. Siegel from Dept of Ed needs a lesson in Constitutional law. What he says the policy of the

Department is may seem lofty to him, but the "policy" and the proposed bill are in conflict with the Constitution and SCOTUS precedent. No wonder Oregon students are last in literacy in the country, their education gurus in Salem are not particularly bright lights.
