Would be surprised if that practice was not held to be discriminatory by a court.

Affirmative Action (blatant Racism and Sexism) has been upheld by the courts for several decades. We'll see. I hope you're right.

“Due to enrollment losses”. Hahahahahaha!! People are fleeing public schools and moving away from Dem controlled inner cities and now the public school has a job problem. Awwwwwww. I don’t give a fuck who they lay off first. White or black if you voted Democrat you deserve whatever misery you get.

But, those Commies are moving out here and have infected once good, conservative leaning suburbs and ex-burbs. Madenning!

And they are sending bus loads of illegals to the burbs too.

Met a gentleman and his wife last night, they were buying a clock I was selling. Moved here from the Long Beach area of California. We worked for Cargill in Fullerton. Had enough of the COVID B.S. and got a transfer to a Cargill facility here.

Let them fire them. Then they can't blame white people and inequality anymore for failing grades, low reading/math levels and low graduation rates.

They will anyway. Try to keep up. Systemic racism causes underperformance by blacks.
(Do I need the green font? ;D Democrat and some Republican policies cause underperformance by everyone.)

Now that the Rosary is racist, I guess all church is racist will be next.
Not to bother mentioning that the moral underpinning is what built our superpower.
Everything is now racist. Just ask asshole democrats. Their party is the definition of racist.
Slavery...
KKK...
Antifa...
BLM...
Jim Crow Laws...
The Russell Amendment...
Voting Rights Suppression...
Lynching those trying to register blacks to vote...
All democrat policies.
All Absolute failures.
Just like the rest of the democrat (communist) policies.

It'll like South Africa after they chased out all of the white farmers.

It's sad, but when these people are left to their own devices they usually FAIL badly. Don't know why. Environment, culture, short sighted values?

It's all part of the plan, keep that demographic down and dependent/subserviant to the government. It keeps the votes coming in.

The failure of humans to live harmoniously and to thrive may partly be based on their failure dispassionately to analyze and discuss why these differences in racial cultures exist. And to make sure we don’t thrive and discuss WHAT WE OBJECTIVELY SEE, the overlords have deemed doing so RACIST.

But firing white teachers and keeping black ones lifts the black demographic. Maybe the intent is to turn the white demographic into the dependent one.

The only way the black demographic is lifted is if the best teachers are retained regardless of skin color. This just reeks of more EO circlejerk and race pandering.

The Democrat USDA just allocated $500 million to increase diversity in agriculture. I thought we had plenty of diversity in agriculture in the 1850s but we fought a war to end it. Just like the democrats to want it back.

Absolutely. When people like Ben Shapiro, Michael Knowles, Charlie Kirk, or Candace Owens try talking about the issues that are keeping blacks down, such as single parent households with no father, they get shouted down and often shut down by both minority and white SJW attendees.
“There are none so blind as those who will not see.”

When we talk about lifting the "black demographic" we are speaking of averages. Talking about groups instead of individuals is problematic. There is no homogenous black demographic just like there is no homogenous white demographic.

I disagree. Even white democrats don’t consider themselves part of the homogenous white demographic, because the HWD is always made up of white supremacists, and probably Trump fans.
-
No doubt these "first to be laid off white teachers" are liberal democrats, and most likely are in agreement with the policy.

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

I would welcome that and the same for other Fasco-Communist Democrats.

Right now my main cause is economics.
One group (the left) wants to take money from some and give it to others, big example right now: student loan debt. I paid mine off, now they want to take my money and give it to someone who isn’t going to responsibly pay their own debt.
Energy policy is another huge issue affecting economics that I’m finding completely intolerable. The left wants to shut down all oil, gas and coal production which is a disastrous and untenable utopian fantasy.
Whipping up racial hatred is another. Not just race but gender and other assorted identities. The now constant ubiquitous scolding about inclusivity and diversity from the left and the resulting backlash from the right has created a bigger schism between groups in this “melting pot” than I’ve ever seen in my life, setting us back decades from what was steady progress in the right direction.
The erasure of normal reproductive biology. As a long proponent of gay rights and acknowledgement of transgenders, I am gobsmacked by the headlong dive into complete insanity the left has taken, and it is the left, not gays and trans themselves, that turned reality completely upside down. “They/them” pronouns are the pinnacle of batshit crazy and it has to stop.
The strong trend toward authoritarianism by the left and the right (it was Bush with the patriot Act that got all our cell phone calls monitored and text messages collected). But the left is way worse right now. The Democrats and Republicans flip flop over who is more authoritarian.
The real group from which I want to separate is the ruling power structure, the same “swamp” Trump wants to drain, and their corporate buddies. And suppose he succeeded. Then we would have to be alert to the new regime inevitably becoming a tyrant as they all seem to do eventually.
So there, I declared my causes. I’m not ready to take up physical arms just yet. If the Biden regime pushes it, like declares martial law and suspends the 2024 election then we can talk.

I am tired of racist liberals enacting racist policies and blaming non racist conservatives for democrat racism.

Since it is impossible to have a political bond/band with a hidden hand, therefore you cannot declare cause for separation from it/them. What next?
-

Can you be more specific?
Hidden hand because we don’t know who is controlling Biden?
Hidden hand because the power structure is way beyond the White House, embedded in all our institutions; a massive “web of treachery” entwined in corporations, government and media?
Hidden hand that’s cultural and consists of all the people around you, with nefarious agenda against you?
Hidden hand that goes beyond the U.S. and is affecting us through currency manipulation, global geopolitics and the like?
Aliens from outer space? ;D
I declared who I thought was the power from which I’d like to separate. I don’t know how hidden it is. To spell it out: the Federal Government has grown way too large, too unwieldy, too powerful, too corrupt, too expensive, and too disconnected from ordinary people. At the moment I perceive it to be controlled more by the left than the right. And in terms of basic ideology I oppose the current form of the left (Marxism). Trump was attempting to trim its power so for now I must support Trump over the left. However the right and the Republicans, with or without Trump, are not a long term solution. The Feds got this way from both Democrat and Republican parties.
I have also stated that if you must draw geographic boundaries, then in general, the large cities are the entity from which I want to separate because on average, they are not producers. They only consume. The very basics of our survival and our economy are food and energy. These are largely produced by men - yes men, not women - away from the large metro areas. And not coincidentally the large cities tend to vote in ways that result in the producers being taxed to funnel wealth to the city dwellers (both rich and poor). That we ship them food and electricity isn’t enough apparently.
There is no formal political boundary dividing urban and rural. We have trends: liberal, conservative, Democrat, Republican, left, right, but these are proxies, not hard divisions.
Possibly it is the very dependence of cities on rural producers that is the root cause of authoritarianism. They recognize their literal dependence on producers for survival which gives producers power over them, which is unacceptable to them, hence urban dwellers fear the rural, have contempt for them and endeavor to control them as much as possible through taxation and restrictive laws. And because local cities can’t rule rural counties, they do it at the Federal level. Trying to push national firearm bans, federal taxes, environmental regulations, etc.

I'm glad you're able to articulate your concerns. I fear you are in the minority of squeaky wheels.

Without the cities, which provide the infrastructure support for the Federal Government, how do you propose to "...form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty..."?

in what way are cities required for "infrastructure support"
and what "infrastructure support" is needed for the Federal Government?

The best way is force, by way of the ballot box, the federal government back into the box it was formed to fill, instead of the pig sty of lies, corruption and treason it has become.
Forbid and enforce the true separation between the fucking federal branch and our privacy and civil rights.
Refuse to allow the ducking federal branch to enrich china at the expense of American citizens, and allow them to employ child slave labor, slaughter gigantic populations of chinese, buy out American farm land, and use illegal means of bankrupting American business by ignoring environmental and competitive practices that steal American technology and poinson our world.
Fuck the liberals, democrats, communists (but I'm repeating myself now) who do whatever they are told by the chinese agents bribing and blackmailing them.
Support a free Taiwan and fuck those who demand we pretend otherwise.

How do cities do that? It's more the burbs and ex-burbs today. Major cities suck. See what their taxes and welfare are like.

You could have the infrastructure support for the Federal Government at about 5% of what it is now to do those Constitutional mandates. It’s the other 95% which is entirely extra-constitutional that is the problem.

I’m not sure he’s a leftist. I don’t know what he is. I’d like to unravel some of this and find out. For example he implies we need cities for Federal Government infrastructure, to, for one thing, “promote the general welfare”.
Let’s say we all agree on that, at least insofar as the wording of the Constitution. Now suppose I say the Federal Government through the EPA I guess it was, in 1994 told me I can’t poop in a toilet that uses more than 1.6 gallons of water per flush.
I say that is malignant out of control overreach of a tyrannical government into my most personal affairs. A leftist might say it’s the business of a centralized authority to limit how much water I use for “reasons”. There’s drought in some far off western state. Municipalities have trouble keeping up with demand. Climate change. There’s only a fixed amount of water and ZOMG we’re using it all up! And the left, when pressed, will justify this by claiming that regulating potty water usage is necessary to “promote the general welfare”.
A free market economist will argue that without interference from government, the law of supply and demand will regulate how much water I use through pricing. If I choose to live in the middle of a desert, my water bill should be higher than if I live in the rain soaked east.
Thomas Sowell would argue that restricting water usage will in fact not only not conserve water, but result in a long term water shortage. If a utility sets its capacity to produce at the amount that is minimal, then when a true drought comes along, there is no where to cut use. Better to allow excess capacity in the system during ordinary times.
The “right” has claimed to be for free market economics but in reality often tends not to walk the walk, so I won’t say that economic theory is the most critical difference between the “left” and the “right”, but rather between those who believe in a centralized controlling authority and those who believe transactions should be decentralized as much as possible to allow a more agile economy to meet the needs of differing localities.

Allow me to expound on this.
The government earns no money because it produces nothing. All of its money is either taken directly from productive citizens or printed out of thin air which, again, amounts to taking it from productive citizens because it causes inflation, therefore causing citizens to pay more for things - another taxation in effect.
If you work and produce something, you are paid for your time and energy, which is a piece of your limited life. You are entitled to keep what you earn. A very limited taxation to cover constitutionally allowed powers of government is necessary and reasonable (the ultra libertarian argument about voluntary taxation notwithstanding.)
We are now at the point where the average working and middle class earner loses anywhere from 40 to 70 percent of his earnings through direct and indirect taxation, some argue the real figure is much higher. That is the percent of your finite time on earth that is taken from you by government.
You receive some benefit in the way of military protection from invasion, interstate commerce facilitation, and maintaining the constitutionally mandated institutions, such as the three branches of government. Beyond that your benefits are vague, dubious and involuntary. Or even worse, dangerously destructive. Fed Gov spent decades telling us to eat high carb, low fat, and now we have a massive epidemic of obesity and diabetes.
They spent OUR tax money promoting the food pyramid and subsidizing corn and wheat, only for it to make us fat and sick.
So my main cause is economic, and my enemy is the person who wants to tax me to give my money to the undeserving. You have a student loan you can’t pay back? Not my problem! You want to research tree frogs in the redwood forest? Ask me for a voluntary donation, do not steal my money through government grants.
You are poor? Cut loose the regulations stifling the economy so you can get a job. Eliminate minimum wage. Minimum wage causes unemployment disproportionately among the poor, the young, and minorities. Ask me for a voluntary charitable donation. But do not forcibly steal my money to feed someone else’s family, give them “free” cell phones, clean needles or whatever the hell.
I don’t really care what your opinion is on anything else. For or against gay marriage, for or against abortion, for or against mixed race marriages, for or against vaccines, for or against anything not involving my tax dollars, you’re fine by me.
But if being a leftist means you vote to take my earnings (the hours and days of my life) by force, through government, to redistribute to others, then we have a problem.
-
The government is a parasite, peopled with folks who won’t or can’t do anything actually productive.
To avoid the spotlight of reality from shining on their impotence, government employees do things without rational thought, or real need to FIRST expand power, THEN grab more money and insulate themselves from the people who do things and pay all the bills.
It’s why parasites like mikey hate us so much. We do things they couldn’t even describe, much less accomplish.
-
Combining my two tomes: A highly centralized controlling authority goes hand in hand with taking large amounts of money from workers and producers (high taxation, currency manipulation such as inflationary money printing, and hidden cost of regulation).
Example names of such schemes are socialism, Marxism, communism, or simply “economic collectivism”. In these forms, the elite (commonly called “intellectuals”) overtly anoint themselves as betters - better to decide how to redistribute your money than you, the common man.
Another form is fascism, where you retain the technical separation between private industry and government but they are in fact working together to fleece the common man. This form is more duplicitous, as the hyper capitalists will extol the virtue of private enterprise while paying their corrupt political friends under the table for government favors such as protecting them from competitors, mandating purchase of their products, subsidies, etc.
Both types pretend to be for the common man but in fact exist to funnel ever more money and power into the few at the top.
The best system is the one with the least central control over the economy but with a cohesive cultural people, ideally held together by a shared commitment to things like “liberty”, understood as the right to live, work, keep what you earn, and be unmolested as much as possible by petty rules and regulations. Keep it limited. “Thou shalt not murder” is fine. “Thou shalt not flush with more than 1.6 gallons” is NOT fine.

These same Elite have decided we can't have internal combustion engine vehicles any longer using the LIE of MMCC and that we MUST buy EVs from them and their cronies.

Ted Cruz worked as a clerk for a US Supreme Court Justice.
Rand Paul had an eye surgery practice.
Donald Trump built big things and owned wildly successful TV shows.
Mike Pence was a sunday school teacher.
Matt Walz was a Green Beret.
Cat Cannack was a soldier.
val demmings was a professional parasite living off the taxpayers, just like she does now.
Her husband was just a big a grifter.
charlie crist was a state senator, state attorney general, governor (as a republican) then ran for the senate and again for governor as an independent, then a democrat.
He has been a congressman for a couple of terms in tampa as a democrat and now is running for governor again.
Ron DeSantis was a soldier (JAG), then a Federal Prosecutor specializing in child trafficking, before congress, and now governor.
adam schiff was a politician after law school.
nancy pelosi was the daughter of a politician (new deal kind), and a democrat organizer before becoming the biggest grifter in government.
chuck schumer has a law degree but never practiced law. He has been a parasite in politics since graduation.

Without large democrat-led cities, our crime rate would be among the lowest in the civilized world. The democrats seem to relish turning once vibrant cities into third world hell holes, while creating the largest dependent class ever.
How are they necessary again?
I’m quite fine with reducing FedGov by 98%, to bring it back in line with the Constitution and the 10th Amendment.
We can use all those excess buildings in DC to house the thugs that are creating terror in our inner cities.

Maybe the B-17s, B-24s, B-25s, Lancaster's, etc., carpet bombed the wrong cities?

The senile imposter warned all us conservatives today that he would use the military against us if we stand firm on our 2nd amendment rights,
The fucker is so mentally disturbed he doesn't know what planet he's on.
When the faux president fuckwad starts threatening to have us murdered for expecting to hang on to our constitutionally guaranteed rights, you already know the asshole is dying to start killing us.
Read the article where the chinese slave accuses us of shooting police officers.
The moron couldn't hold an intelligent discussion if his pathetic life depended on it.
