Dallas "social justice" group asking white people to pledge not to send their kids to Ivy League

[Suburbia]

Democrats keep this crap up and then they wonder why they continue to lose white voters, THE MAJORITY of the country until 2045

Suburban white woke people are not the majority----there are a lot of right wing Karens who despise this stuff and then you want to know why they turn into Karens....

[Suburbia]

Okay this is dumb but why does it warrant a thread

Because this is what the Democratic Party's fringe wing accepts.....you want to talk about the alt-right, fix the alt-left too.

Even assuming this is a real “woke” group, you can’t seriously act as if the alt-right has anywhere near the support among the Democratic Party as the alt-right has among the Republicans. The alt-left has never attempted a coup with Biden’s support.

How does one person sending a letter to a few people in a Democrat-voting city translate to actions of the entire party? At least you didn't try to make your dog whistle politics as nuanced as possible this time.

[NYSforKennedy2024]

The absolute state of the left.

I am not race baiting, it is the truth. Just like how Republicans will be tarred for the Jan. 6 riots, the Democrats will get the blame for the CRT/SJW stuff because it is the Left that pushes that stuff, not the right.

The January 6 crowd represents the median Republican voter.

The "SJW" stuff does not represent the median Democratic voter.

These people are dumb as a brick, but their website is (unintentionally) hilarious.  Ironically, this pledge BS absolutely reeks of privilege and entitlement.  Also, apparently they’re really big on doxing, so just all around horrible people.

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

As someone from around Dallas I apologize on behalf of all Dallasites for this stupid vapidity.

Why?  The website was created in Canada.

[Buffalo Mayor Young Kim]

Do that many kids from Texas actually go to the Ivy League? Typically around here, most of the Ivy-league type kids go to places like WashU, Northwestern, or Chicago. I can only imagine places like Rice are preferred by the local elites.


Anyway, dumb thing to start a thread on, no one cares IRL.

[Benjamin Frank]

Ivy League schools are terrible.  They are affirmative action for the wealthy elite.

[Skill and Chance]

If you grew up in Highland Park, you will almost certainly be absolutely fine in life even if you attend a mediocre local school like UT-Arlington or North Texas.

Going to an Ivy League school isn't really worth the expense/effort from the standpoint of significantly improving your relative socioeconomic status if you're already in the upper socioeconomic strata.

The threshold for kids being able to just "whatever" their way through life and maintain high social status is a lot higher than this.  That works if your parents are tech founders, it doesn't work if they are just VP of XYZ making $200K at age 55.  You don't have to go to an Ivy, but you still have to be academically successful.

Okay this is dumb but why does it warrant a thread

Because kulturkampf. Republican strategists want Americans to be at each others throats fighting about culture, because they believe that is the only way they can win, by riling up their voters and getting them angry. So they focus on these sorts of things in right wing media and get their followers to spread the message and pretend these sorts of things are the most serious issues facing the country and the world.

[GP270watch]

BRTD sure loves to pump these dumb stories.

[SWE]

This is a good start, but everyone should stop going to Ivy Leagues

[Stranger in a strange land]

Anyone thinks that this is a conservative astroturfed group?

This reeks of being a 4Chan Op.

Surprise surprise. It was a conservative op.

Maybe Atlas can stop peeing its pants every time it sees a woman with blue hair now?

Highland Park votes for Democrats? That's news. Considering how strongly Republican it is, one can only assume these ideas are being encouraged by the Republican--rather than the Democratic--party, no? Seems obvious to me.

Atlas stops posting fake news when

My mistake - I thought this was being sent round Dallas itself rather than Highland Park.

Or maybe there are actual woke issues like a teacher union calling for nationwide teaching through a divisive lens and then there are those that look like obvious set ups or were minor in nature?

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

Eh, it was still funny

[afleitch]

Why does the Atlas 'anti-woke' left do the heavy lifting for these sorts of bullsh-t merchants?

[Real Texan Politics]

As someone from around Dallas I apologize on behalf of all Dallasites for this stupid vapidity.

And Collin County seems to be becoming the Orange County, CA of Texas.
