Your not so humble servant has mentioned more than a few times that I live in Northern California and in my golden years I have been substitute teaching for fun and little profit. Today, was a fun day. There is a High School in magnificent Marin county where California’s autocratic French Laundry loving Guvner matriculated. It will remain nameless to protect the guilty and if interested – you can always google it.
Like all indoctrinated state run school children in California in wealthy neighborhoods – the vast majority of the students are white upper middle class. But alas, they have been sold the Marxist Globalist message wrapped in the lie of “Progressivism”. Nothing more regressive than an ideology that has been not just a proven failure but is also a massive death cult. For example, over a million dead babies in abortions every year since Roe v Wade and sadly still growing at that rate despite the SCOTUS correctly overturning Roe; Marxist dictators who become gods when their cult gets rid of our Judeo-Christian God – millions starved and murdered by Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot – all the while pushing equity – equal outcomes – which becomes French Laundry thousand dollar meals for the elite – and shared misery for the Prols.
I digress. So, I find myself subbing for the architecture teacher. Looking around the room I see some nicely done paper models and I am impressed. The first and last class of the day has this pair of rather attractive senior females who are designated TAs – teaching assistants. The Alpha of the group is very attractive and smart and she knows it by the way she takes over the room and dictates to her class to makes sure to plug in their computers and clean their desks when finished. Wow, thought that was at least my job – other than taking roll that is. And the fact that the Alphas in today’s schools are mostly female is telling. It is my observation that while white males are regularly ridiculed for being chauvinistic, having “toxic masculinity” or becoming future white supremacists – minorities and females are propped up and reinforced to be our future leaders. Just my observation after about a half dozen years substitute teaching.
All is fine until the last period – which essentially was a non period. It is Friday – study hall – the only assignment they had for the day was to answer a few questions about how they get to school. Yep, they either car pool or have their own car. After all this is Marin County. No, they don’t walk or ride a bike – even those kids who live down the street. There are a few kids on campus that have those spiffy e-bikes – but only the high end ones that are faster than most French mini cars that look like they were made from recycled coke cans or should I say recycled Perrier spritzer cans.
And then it happens. One of the TAs looked to her Alpha friend and asked “who is Comey?” I chimed in – “James Comey – former FBI director. He has been indicted for lying to Congress – technically a felony. I know you don’t want to here this but unlike the made up felonies attributed to Trump – lying to Congress is a REAL felony and there is a long list of Democrats or their supporters who were categorically lying to Congress – James Clapper former Director of Network Intelligence; John Brennan – former Director of CIA lied about the Steele Dossier – that was used by the DNC and Hillary Clinton to issue a FISA warrant and spy on Trump and his associates in the run up to the 2016 Presidential election.”
The two girls looked at me in disbelief. The look said – only Republicans lie to congress – not Democrats. The reality is that there are several national security related things that should not be made public – but the lie of telling the Congress that the debunked Steele Dossier was true – when it wasn’t and it was politically motivated to sway a Presidential election – clearly falls under the auspices of a felony lying to Congress while under oath.
But what happened a few minutes later really turned the Alpha female beyond angry. I simply asked her what she thought of the Charlie Kirk assassination and on que she responded that he was a racist that hated women. “He was against the Civil Rights Act” she crowed!
I took a beat and responded: “Actually he was very much for the Civil Rights Act – but not so much the recent abuses of DEI”.
“DEI is needed for the poor blacks who have been slaves and maligned by America”, she said in rebuttal.
“Diversity, Equity, Inclusion – the equity part is what Charlie and conservatives have a problem with. Slaves? Haven’t them since 1864. Our country was founded on the ideal of ‘equality’ – equal opportunity – not equal outcomes. You have Marxist Communist regimes that promise equal outcomes – and what you get is a tiny minority living as kings – and the vast majority sharing the misery. Maoist China – Stalinist Russia – Pol Pot’s Cambodia – Castro’s Cuba – about 100 million dead – starved to death in Mao’s Great Leap Forward or Stalin’s great Agricultural forced collectivism – Pol Pot’s Khmer Rouge mass murders. This is what you get with ‘equity’.”
“And let’s look at the recent LA fires – especially the Palisades fire right near Malibu and one of the wealthiest neighborhoods in LA. What happened to the local reservoir that was drained? What happened to the fire hydrants that ran out of water? Well, I think the severity of this apocalypse had everything to do with DEI hires running the fire department. In particular, about two million dollars going toward DEI hiring while cutting about 17 million dollars in fire fighting from the LA budget. And you can’t make up the fact that the assistant fire chief of LA – defending herself for being a black, female, lesbian DEI hire – bragged that if if some big white guy was stuck in a fire: “He got himself in the wrong place if I have to carry him out of a fire.”
The red in her face became more pronounced. As I said before, very attractive girl even beet red. I could see why she was the Alpha of the group. Then I dropped the bomb that made her head explode:
“You know Charlie Kirk and MLK had much in common – they were both devout Christians preaching ideals they believed in, non politicians who were assassinated for those beliefs.”
“MLK was nothing like Kirk!”, she shouted back.
I countered: “MLK and Kirk both ascribed to the famous King saying – ‘judge a person by the content of their character, not the color of their skin’. What is DEI other than judging based on skin color rather than merit? And hated women? His wife is now CEO of the massive movement he started. And tell me which side actually is harming women – one side that believes in the family and children, or the side that believes in abortion and biological men in women’s sports?”
Then she blew past the women’s argument and went back to the losing argument that blacks have been discriminated against and they need DEI and affirmative action to balance things out.
“OK, but you have to admit we have had some balancing – billionaires like Oprah and quite a few successful black entrepaneurs – even two Supreme Court judges and Brain surgeon. Thomas and Carter – who seems to have lost their melanin and ‘blackness’ as soon as they voted Republican or became conservative. And then we have Barack Hussein Obama.”
“Yeah, but he’s the only one is 200 plus years!”
“Well, actually even today blacks only make up 13% of the population – so that’s pretty good. Hispanics make up nearly 20% of the population – and I don’t recall one Hispanic president – do you?”
She got flustered and with that left in a huff. I will be seeing her Monday as I’m subbing for the same teacher again – that is, unless she manages to get me canned for channeling Charlie Kirk!
