Speaker 1: Man yesterday. It was a really bad day for him,
Speaker 1: and this is what he did. And so we are
Speaker 1: in a state of emergency. Okay.
Speaker 2: White supremacist violence, it is always has been the number
Speaker 2: one threat to our society. But I'm also very proud
Speaker 2: that my wife was white.
Speaker 1: The practice club bitches all rich Ronny, Please tell me
Speaker 1: why was I your donkey of the day.
Speaker 2: The way things are going, They're gonna sign an executive
Speaker 2: order to make me change that intro soon. But Donkey
Speaker 2: of today for Tuesday, February eighteenth goes to the US
Speaker 2: Department of Education. Well, well, should I say Donald Trump's
Speaker 2: US Department of Education. Now, if you haven't been paying
Speaker 2: attention to what's going on in the world, because it
Speaker 2: hasn't popped up on Shade Room just yet, let me
Speaker 2: be the first to tell you that Donald Trump in
Speaker 2: the Department of Education have decided to eliminate all race
Speaker 2: based programs in schools.
Speaker 1: Okay, and they got fourteen days to get rid of it,
Speaker 1: that's right.
Speaker 2: The Department of Education plans to cut funding for initiatives
Speaker 2: that address racial disparities in education. They will penalize schools
Speaker 2: that consider race in scholarships, hiring.
Speaker 1: And a bunch of other activities. Okay, they warned schools that.
Speaker 2: They risk losing federal funding if they continue to take
Speaker 2: race into account when making scholarship or hiring decisions.
Speaker 1: Are so much as nodded to race.
Speaker 2: In all of the aspects of student, academic and campus life. Oh,
Speaker 2: I can't make this kind of stuff up. Let's go
Speaker 2: to the National Desker to report.
Speaker 3: Police Doze's newest target diversity, Equity and Inclusion at the
Speaker 3: Department of Education, identifying seventy DEI training grants amounting to
Speaker 3: three hundred and seventy three million dollars. According to Doze,
Speaker 3: one such grant trained teachers to engage in self reflection
Speaker 3: to confront their own biases and racism. This comes as
Speaker 3: the Department of Education continues its crackdown on DEI programs
Speaker 3: and policies in schools. On Friday, the acting Assistant Secretary
Speaker 3: sent out a letter reminding institutions any discrimination based on race, color,
Speaker 3: or national origin is illegal, adding institutions failing to comply
Speaker 3: with federal civil rights law face potential loss of federal funding.
Speaker 3: Critics to respond, what does this mean?
Speaker 4: Are they going to take away funding from historically black colleges.
Speaker 4: Are they going to take away funding from public schools
Speaker 4: that have a Latino student union? To me, it indicates
Speaker 4: just the fanatical obsession that this administration has in terms
Speaker 4: of going against DEI.
Speaker 1: This is America twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2: You know, America's core values allegedly have always been liberty, equality.
Speaker 1: And justice.
Speaker 2: These values are supposed to be the foundation of American democracy.
Speaker 1: But they aren't, okay, never have been.
Speaker 2: It's liberty, equality, injustice for white men, and then there
Speaker 2: is the rest of us, all right. In fact, the
Speaker 2: only reason things like affirmative action exists is because government
Speaker 2: needed a remedy for the effects of long standing discrimination
Speaker 2: in this country. Now, somebody needs to explain to me
Speaker 2: what's changed, Okay, In a country with systemic racism is
Speaker 2: literally rooted in every institution, the solution is now to
Speaker 2: pretend that racism and other forms of discrimination just lead
Speaker 2: don't exist.
Speaker 1: Let's go back to.
Speaker 2: Doing things the way they were being done before these
Speaker 2: race based programs existed. So let's go back to doing
Speaker 2: what caused us to have to come up with the
Speaker 2: race based programs to begin with. This is all part
Speaker 2: of a broader agenda to remove what they call wokeness
Speaker 2: from American education. And look, I don't care for wokeness either. Okay,
Speaker 2: I believe most woke people just simply need some sleep.
Speaker 2: But the reality is wokeness and programs designed to level
Speaker 2: the playing field for marginalized students are not the same. Okay,
Speaker 2: you can't just scrip away those programs. That's like having
Speaker 2: a leaky roof and you decided to fix that leaky
Speaker 2: roof by removing the roof entirely. That would make no sense. Now,
Speaker 2: this is also the latest step in the Trump administration's
Speaker 2: move to reshape programs intended to make things equal for
Speaker 2: historically underserved populations as a form of racial discrimination.
Speaker 1: Craig Trainer, who's.
Speaker 2: The Education Department's Acting Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights, said,
Speaker 2: related programs and scholarships, many of which have historically helped
Speaker 2: black and Latino students attained college degrees. Our fine community,
Speaker 2: had come at the expense of white and Asian students,
Speaker 2: many of whom come from disadvantage backgrounds. Now, let me
Speaker 2: read to you a quote from Craig Trainer, because this
Speaker 2: is interesting, he said, and I quote. At its core,
Speaker 2: the test is simple. If an educational institution treats a
Speaker 2: person of one race differently than it treats another person
Speaker 2: because of that person's race, the educational institution.
Speaker 1: Violates the law. Well, god damn, how many.
Speaker 2: Institutions of treating white people differently and giving them preferenceal.
Speaker 1: Treatment over every other? Other?
Speaker 2: Okay, Trainer says put simply, educational institutions may neither separate
Speaker 2: or segregate students based on race, nor distribute benefits. Are
Speaker 2: burdens based on race. I could be wrong because I
Speaker 2: am not the highest grade of weed in the dispensary.
Speaker 2: But we got to these race based programs. We implemented
Speaker 2: things like affirmative action to make sure that policies and
Speaker 2: programs gave limited preferences to minorities and women, not just
Speaker 2: institutions of higher education, with job hiring, awarding a government contract,
Speaker 2: to other social benefits. They had to implement these things
Speaker 2: because if they didn't, white privilege would rule everything around me.
Speaker 2: Education is supposed to be the great equalizer, But how
Speaker 2: can it be when the very programs aimed at uplifting
Speaker 2: the underserved are being dismantled. Donald Trump and the Department
Speaker 2: of Education are sending a very clear message and that
Speaker 2: message is that few niggas right, they aren't interested in
Speaker 2: addressing the real issues of inequality in our schools. Instead,
Speaker 2: they would rather gaslight us, tell us we trip in
Speaker 2: sweep to inequality under the rug, and then tell us
Speaker 2: to act like we don't see the lump.
Speaker 1: So all these colleges that offer.
Speaker 2: Scholarships and grants specifically for students of certain ethnic backgrounds,
Speaker 2: all that's just gone. Schools are just barred from using
Speaker 2: race and decisions pretending to admissions and hiring and promotion, compensation,
Speaker 2: financial aid, scholarships, prizes, administrative support, discipline, housing, graduation ceremonies,
Speaker 2: and all the other aspects of student academic and campus life.
Speaker 1: Who is going to be policing this?
Speaker 2: Okay, what about America in twenty twenty five should make
Speaker 2: any of us believe we can trust people to do
Speaker 2: the right thing in regards to prejudice and discrimination, Because
Speaker 2: if you ask me, what the Department of Education is
Speaker 2: currently doing is indeed prejudice and discrimination. And you know
Speaker 2: the main reason we should teach the true history of
Speaker 2: America so we don't repeat all mistakes. Winston Churchill once
Speaker 2: said those who fail to learn from history are doomed
Speaker 2: to repeat it.
Speaker 1: We have learned nothing, and so here we are.
Speaker 2: Please let Kathy Griffin give the Department of Education the
Speaker 2: biggest he hall.
Speaker 1: Please give this giant jar male the biggest he hall.
Speaker 1: It's cold world, cold world, crazy, all right, We'll thank
Speaker 1: you for that. Donkey of to Day.
