As CRT was exposed to have negative baggage associated with it, educators pushing it avoided CRT and in favor of saying “equity is good,” let us try to market and sell equity. Now Coronado Unified School District (CUSD) has succumbed to yet another non-academic fad called Social Emotional Learning (SEL). Parents are just waking up to SEL.

by Lee Ohanianvia California on Your Mind
Tuesday, November 16, 2021

Despite enormous pushback, California’s education department advocates for changing its math instruction to a diversity-based curriculum that eliminates racial inequities in math education. But it turns out that what was a key selling point for this proposal provides no support for adopting the new curriculum. Ironically, this selling point is based solely on a remarkably bad application of statistical reasoning.

How Did The Fed Get It So Wrong On Inflation?

quoting Michael Spencevia The Hill
Tuesday, November 16, 2021

Whether rising inflation reflects a transitory phenomenon or a more pernicious and lasting surge in average price levels has been a much-debated issue. Recent data suggest that high inflation is likely to persist for longer than the Federal Reserve (the Fed) had projected. While a few economists (Paul Krugman and Brad DeLong) remain in the transitory inflation camp, most now view surging inflation as a serious problem.
