Deep dives
Reality always wins
No matter how stupid things get, reality always wins. Eventually, bad political ideas will fail. The dumb idea of 'woke' has taken center stage, but it is a foolish quest. Group disparities often result from inborn differences, culture, or environment. In an attempt to address this, a Hayward elementary school in California spent $250,000 to train teachers with a program called 'Woke Kindergarten'. However, after two years, student achievement has fallen, raising questions about the effectiveness of such programs.
The dangers of stupidity in education
The push for 'woke' education is leading to negative consequences. The Woke Kindergarten curriculum focuses on confronting white supremacy, disrupting racism, and removing barriers to learning. However, the inclusion of controversial concepts and divisive language, such as defunding the Israeli military, has raised concerns among teachers and led to a decline in student performance. Critics argue that teaching kids these ideas only leads to failure and does not reflect reality.
Challenges in recruiting police officers
Police departments across the country are struggling to recruit new officers due to a combination of factors, including anti-police sentiment and changes in law enforcement policies. This has led to a shortage of police officers in major cities like Detroit, Chicago, and New York. Desperate to fill the ranks, some departments are even lowering physical standards for recruits. The lack of police presence and the negative perception of law enforcement is contributing to the rise in crime rates in these cities.
The fiscal challenges for the US
The US is on an unsustainable fiscal path, with the national debt growing faster than the economy. While the current focus is on short-term economic growth, the long-term consequences of the national debt will eventually catch up. The Biden administration's spending policies and lack of action to address the growing debt are raising concerns among economists and experts.
Mixed signals in the Middle East
Mixed signals from the Biden administration on the Middle East are leading to increased tensions and potential escalation. The US airstrikes targeting Iranian militias in Iraq and Syria were seen as a retaliation for the killing of US soldiers. However, the administration's calls for a two-state solution and its approach to dealing with Iran and its proxies are creating confusion and signaling weakness. The lack of a clear and consistent policy is making it difficult to prevent further conflict in the region.
Woke Kindergarten is an enormous failure; police forces across America have trouble drawing recruits; and Joe Biden is cruising for an electoral bruising.
