@pieist that too yea :)
@volkris That wouldnt surprise me.. typical media misinformation to get clicks...
@Darkayne I am sure you are right.
So is the argument here that the law, in and of itself, isnt racist. But it has been applied in a racist way?
I mean i am specifically making a post asking for clarification... Meaning i identified my possibility of ignorance and asking for someone to clarify it.
How is a request for someone to correct my ignorance somehow the opposite, willful ignorance? That seems odd.
> in May of 2020 in the same school district a federal judge ruled the district’s hair policy was discriminatory
Thank you for attempted to answer this, but that wasnt my question. I asked for what the logic or reasoning behind it being discriminatory. Knowing some judge ruled it to be discriminatory doesn't really answer that does it?
So apparently Musk is going to require **all** users pay to use twitter, no more free accounts of any kind.
Assuming this eliminates ads, might be the first move Elon made with Twitter that will make my personal experience better... not so sure about all the people who cant afford it though....
@admitsWrongIfProven oops...
@LilHulkQ While I am certainly against dress codes in public schools of any kind, im confused why they claim a policy that is neutrally written (simply doesnt hair past a certain length) somehow is a racial issue itself.
Now i think its fair to be concerned it was **applied** raciall and only use to attack this poor kid and letting whites who violate get a pass.. and that should be illegal and persued in court if that happened.
But reading the court case thats not what they are arguing. They are arguing the policy itself, even if uniformly applied, disproportionately attacks blacks... how does a length restriction on hair disproportionately target blacks on its own? I mean if anything the opposite, since the law is defined by length past ones elbows that would target straight haired people disproportionately while tightly-curled hair would form an afro and would take quite the effort to get an afro "below the elbows"...
So yea... while i dont know if he was discriminated against specifically im really having a hard time seeing where this rule, when applied evenly, would be racist. I would love to hear thoughts that might explain this.
Yup sure was, which is why this thread is about me being upset someone implied all that effort had no effect on the numbers, particularly when its objectively a lie.
@georgetakei Oh we can believe it...There is no limit to the nonsense that man will say.
@binkle Thanks
@binkle sorry
As with most words there are many definitions... do you mean int he context of sex or gender?
@freepeoplesfreepress I have not seen changes in SWR during high winds when measuring it under these conditions or from the radio. I can pick it up, however, when i use my higher end equipment. Its very small though.
