0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:01.560
<v Speaker 1>Man yesterday. It was a really bad day for him,

0:00:01.560 --> 0:00:03.760
<v Speaker 1>and this is what he did. And so we are

0:00:03.920 --> 0:00:06.560
<v Speaker 1>in a state of emergency. Okay.

0:00:06.640 --> 0:00:10.000
<v Speaker 2>White supremacist violence, it is always has been the number

0:00:10.039 --> 0:00:12.719
<v Speaker 2>one threat to our society. But I'm also very proud

0:00:12.760 --> 0:00:15.000
<v Speaker 2>that my wife was white.

0:00:15.400 --> 0:00:18.319
<v Speaker 1>The practice club bitches all rich Ronny, Please tell me

0:00:18.520 --> 0:00:20.599
<v Speaker 1>why was I your donkey of the day.

0:00:21.640 --> 0:00:23.400
<v Speaker 2>The way things are going, They're gonna sign an executive

0:00:23.440 --> 0:00:25.400
<v Speaker 2>order to make me change that intro soon. But Donkey

0:00:25.440 --> 0:00:27.840
<v Speaker 2>of today for Tuesday, February eighteenth goes to the US

0:00:27.880 --> 0:00:31.640
<v Speaker 2>Department of Education. Well, well, should I say Donald Trump's

0:00:31.720 --> 0:00:33.920
<v Speaker 2>US Department of Education. Now, if you haven't been paying

0:00:33.920 --> 0:00:36.199
<v Speaker 2>attention to what's going on in the world, because it

0:00:36.240 --> 0:00:38.519
<v Speaker 2>hasn't popped up on Shade Room just yet, let me

0:00:38.560 --> 0:00:40.400
<v Speaker 2>be the first to tell you that Donald Trump in

0:00:40.400 --> 0:00:44.000
<v Speaker 2>the Department of Education have decided to eliminate all race

0:00:44.120 --> 0:00:46.600
<v Speaker 2>based programs in schools.

0:00:46.760 --> 0:00:48.760
<v Speaker 1>Okay, and they got fourteen days to get rid of it,

0:00:48.960 --> 0:00:49.320
<v Speaker 1>that's right.

0:00:49.360 --> 0:00:52.080
<v Speaker 2>The Department of Education plans to cut funding for initiatives

0:00:52.080 --> 0:00:56.040
<v Speaker 2>that address racial disparities in education. They will penalize schools

0:00:56.360 --> 0:00:59.760
<v Speaker 2>that consider race in scholarships, hiring.

0:00:59.400 --> 0:01:02.240
<v Speaker 1>And a bunch of other activities. Okay, they warned schools that.

0:01:02.280 --> 0:01:05.240
<v Speaker 2>They risk losing federal funding if they continue to take

0:01:05.360 --> 0:01:09.119
<v Speaker 2>race into account when making scholarship or hiring decisions.

0:01:09.200 --> 0:01:12.240
<v Speaker 1>Are so much as nodded to race.

0:01:12.080 --> 0:01:15.800
<v Speaker 2>In all of the aspects of student, academic and campus life. Oh,

0:01:15.800 --> 0:01:17.399
<v Speaker 2>I can't make this kind of stuff up. Let's go

0:01:17.440 --> 0:01:18.920
<v Speaker 2>to the National Desker to report.

0:01:18.640 --> 0:01:22.800
<v Speaker 3>Police Doze's newest target diversity, Equity and Inclusion at the

0:01:22.840 --> 0:01:27.280
<v Speaker 3>Department of Education, identifying seventy DEI training grants amounting to

0:01:27.360 --> 0:01:30.800
<v Speaker 3>three hundred and seventy three million dollars. According to Doze,

0:01:30.959 --> 0:01:34.200
<v Speaker 3>one such grant trained teachers to engage in self reflection

0:01:34.440 --> 0:01:38.200
<v Speaker 3>to confront their own biases and racism. This comes as

0:01:38.240 --> 0:01:41.759
<v Speaker 3>the Department of Education continues its crackdown on DEI programs

0:01:41.800 --> 0:01:45.720
<v Speaker 3>and policies in schools. On Friday, the acting Assistant Secretary

0:01:45.800 --> 0:01:50.400
<v Speaker 3>sent out a letter reminding institutions any discrimination based on race, color,

0:01:50.520 --> 0:01:54.760
<v Speaker 3>or national origin is illegal, adding institutions failing to comply

0:01:54.880 --> 0:01:58.760
<v Speaker 3>with federal civil rights law face potential loss of federal funding.

0:01:59.160 --> 0:02:01.800
<v Speaker 3>Critics to respond, what does this mean?

0:02:02.200 --> 0:02:05.640
<v Speaker 4>Are they going to take away funding from historically black colleges.

0:02:05.760 --> 0:02:08.919
<v Speaker 4>Are they going to take away funding from public schools

0:02:09.040 --> 0:02:13.320
<v Speaker 4>that have a Latino student union? To me, it indicates

0:02:13.560 --> 0:02:19.320
<v Speaker 4>just the fanatical obsession that this administration has in terms

0:02:19.360 --> 0:02:21.480
<v Speaker 4>of going against DEI.

0:02:22.120 --> 0:02:23.880
<v Speaker 1>This is America twenty twenty five.

0:02:23.919 --> 0:02:28.680
<v Speaker 2>You know, America's core values allegedly have always been liberty, equality.

0:02:28.080 --> 0:02:28.680
<v Speaker 1>And justice.

0:02:28.880 --> 0:02:33.079
<v Speaker 2>These values are supposed to be the foundation of American democracy.

0:02:32.960 --> 0:02:35.359
<v Speaker 1>But they aren't, okay, never have been.

0:02:35.600 --> 0:02:38.840
<v Speaker 2>It's liberty, equality, injustice for white men, and then there

0:02:38.919 --> 0:02:40.320
<v Speaker 2>is the rest of us, all right. In fact, the

0:02:40.360 --> 0:02:43.200
<v Speaker 2>only reason things like affirmative action exists is because government

0:02:43.240 --> 0:02:45.919
<v Speaker 2>needed a remedy for the effects of long standing discrimination

0:02:46.280 --> 0:02:48.960
<v Speaker 2>in this country. Now, somebody needs to explain to me

0:02:49.280 --> 0:02:52.800
<v Speaker 2>what's changed, Okay, In a country with systemic racism is

0:02:52.840 --> 0:02:57.040
<v Speaker 2>literally rooted in every institution, the solution is now to

0:02:57.080 --> 0:03:00.240
<v Speaker 2>pretend that racism and other forms of discrimination just lead

0:03:00.360 --> 0:03:01.079
<v Speaker 2>don't exist.

0:03:01.440 --> 0:03:02.240
<v Speaker 1>Let's go back to.

0:03:02.200 --> 0:03:05.120
<v Speaker 2>Doing things the way they were being done before these

0:03:05.200 --> 0:03:07.760
<v Speaker 2>race based programs existed. So let's go back to doing

0:03:08.000 --> 0:03:10.240
<v Speaker 2>what caused us to have to come up with the

0:03:10.320 --> 0:03:13.280
<v Speaker 2>race based programs to begin with. This is all part

0:03:13.280 --> 0:03:15.639
<v Speaker 2>of a broader agenda to remove what they call wokeness

0:03:15.639 --> 0:03:19.040
<v Speaker 2>from American education. And look, I don't care for wokeness either. Okay,

0:03:19.040 --> 0:03:21.240
<v Speaker 2>I believe most woke people just simply need some sleep.

0:03:21.360 --> 0:03:26.360
<v Speaker 2>But the reality is wokeness and programs designed to level

0:03:26.360 --> 0:03:29.959
<v Speaker 2>the playing field for marginalized students are not the same. Okay,

0:03:30.000 --> 0:03:33.600
<v Speaker 2>you can't just scrip away those programs. That's like having

0:03:33.600 --> 0:03:35.800
<v Speaker 2>a leaky roof and you decided to fix that leaky

0:03:35.880 --> 0:03:40.160
<v Speaker 2>roof by removing the roof entirely. That would make no sense. Now,

0:03:40.240 --> 0:03:42.480
<v Speaker 2>this is also the latest step in the Trump administration's

0:03:42.520 --> 0:03:45.760
<v Speaker 2>move to reshape programs intended to make things equal for

0:03:45.960 --> 0:03:50.080
<v Speaker 2>historically underserved populations as a form of racial discrimination.

0:03:50.480 --> 0:03:51.920
<v Speaker 1>Craig Trainer, who's.

0:03:51.720 --> 0:03:55.520
<v Speaker 2>The Education Department's Acting Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights, said,

0:03:55.640 --> 0:03:59.640
<v Speaker 2>related programs and scholarships, many of which have historically helped

0:04:00.000 --> 0:04:03.600
<v Speaker 2>black and Latino students attained college degrees. Our fine community,

0:04:03.920 --> 0:04:07.880
<v Speaker 2>had come at the expense of white and Asian students,

0:04:07.920 --> 0:04:11.200
<v Speaker 2>many of whom come from disadvantage backgrounds. Now, let me

0:04:11.240 --> 0:04:13.240
<v Speaker 2>read to you a quote from Craig Trainer, because this

0:04:13.280 --> 0:04:15.880
<v Speaker 2>is interesting, he said, and I quote. At its core,

0:04:16.400 --> 0:04:19.960
<v Speaker 2>the test is simple. If an educational institution treats a

0:04:20.000 --> 0:04:22.600
<v Speaker 2>person of one race differently than it treats another person

0:04:22.720 --> 0:04:26.520
<v Speaker 2>because of that person's race, the educational institution.

0:04:26.160 --> 0:04:29.560
<v Speaker 1>Violates the law. Well, god damn, how many.

0:04:29.480 --> 0:04:32.600
<v Speaker 2>Institutions of treating white people differently and giving them preferenceal.

0:04:32.080 --> 0:04:33.719
<v Speaker 1>Treatment over every other? Other?

0:04:34.360 --> 0:04:39.040
<v Speaker 2>Okay, Trainer says put simply, educational institutions may neither separate

0:04:39.120 --> 0:04:43.000
<v Speaker 2>or segregate students based on race, nor distribute benefits. Are

0:04:43.040 --> 0:04:46.640
<v Speaker 2>burdens based on race. I could be wrong because I

0:04:46.680 --> 0:04:48.720
<v Speaker 2>am not the highest grade of weed in the dispensary.

0:04:49.000 --> 0:04:52.960
<v Speaker 2>But we got to these race based programs. We implemented

0:04:53.000 --> 0:04:55.479
<v Speaker 2>things like affirmative action to make sure that policies and

0:04:55.520 --> 0:04:59.880
<v Speaker 2>programs gave limited preferences to minorities and women, not just

0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:04.320
<v Speaker 2>institutions of higher education, with job hiring, awarding a government contract,

0:05:04.360 --> 0:05:06.760
<v Speaker 2>to other social benefits. They had to implement these things

0:05:06.760 --> 0:05:10.000
<v Speaker 2>because if they didn't, white privilege would rule everything around me.

0:05:10.880 --> 0:05:13.280
<v Speaker 2>Education is supposed to be the great equalizer, But how

0:05:13.320 --> 0:05:15.800
<v Speaker 2>can it be when the very programs aimed at uplifting

0:05:15.800 --> 0:05:19.680
<v Speaker 2>the underserved are being dismantled. Donald Trump and the Department

0:05:19.720 --> 0:05:22.359
<v Speaker 2>of Education are sending a very clear message and that

0:05:22.480 --> 0:05:26.760
<v Speaker 2>message is that few niggas right, they aren't interested in

0:05:26.839 --> 0:05:29.920
<v Speaker 2>addressing the real issues of inequality in our schools. Instead,

0:05:29.920 --> 0:05:32.280
<v Speaker 2>they would rather gaslight us, tell us we trip in

0:05:32.560 --> 0:05:35.120
<v Speaker 2>sweep to inequality under the rug, and then tell us

0:05:35.120 --> 0:05:36.560
<v Speaker 2>to act like we don't see the lump.

0:05:36.640 --> 0:05:38.720
<v Speaker 1>So all these colleges that offer.

0:05:38.520 --> 0:05:43.160
<v Speaker 2>Scholarships and grants specifically for students of certain ethnic backgrounds,

0:05:43.240 --> 0:05:47.160
<v Speaker 2>all that's just gone. Schools are just barred from using

0:05:47.279 --> 0:05:51.520
<v Speaker 2>race and decisions pretending to admissions and hiring and promotion, compensation,

0:05:51.680 --> 0:05:57.240
<v Speaker 2>financial aid, scholarships, prizes, administrative support, discipline, housing, graduation ceremonies,

0:05:57.279 --> 0:06:00.440
<v Speaker 2>and all the other aspects of student academic and campus life.

0:06:00.600 --> 0:06:01.919
<v Speaker 1>Who is going to be policing this?

0:06:02.320 --> 0:06:05.400
<v Speaker 2>Okay, what about America in twenty twenty five should make

0:06:05.440 --> 0:06:07.840
<v Speaker 2>any of us believe we can trust people to do

0:06:07.880 --> 0:06:10.840
<v Speaker 2>the right thing in regards to prejudice and discrimination, Because

0:06:10.839 --> 0:06:13.440
<v Speaker 2>if you ask me, what the Department of Education is

0:06:13.480 --> 0:06:17.800
<v Speaker 2>currently doing is indeed prejudice and discrimination. And you know

0:06:17.880 --> 0:06:20.479
<v Speaker 2>the main reason we should teach the true history of

0:06:20.520 --> 0:06:24.320
<v Speaker 2>America so we don't repeat all mistakes. Winston Churchill once

0:06:24.360 --> 0:06:27.320
<v Speaker 2>said those who fail to learn from history are doomed

0:06:27.320 --> 0:06:27.919
<v Speaker 2>to repeat it.

0:06:28.920 --> 0:06:32.120
<v Speaker 1>We have learned nothing, and so here we are.

0:06:33.040 --> 0:06:35.600
<v Speaker 2>Please let Kathy Griffin give the Department of Education the

0:06:35.640 --> 0:06:36.600
<v Speaker 2>biggest he hall.

0:06:36.600 --> 0:06:39.440
<v Speaker 1>Please give this giant jar male the biggest he hall.
