Maybe. And you'd be saying "Oh no! Not the press pass!". What's your point?

Oh no, not the press pass!

Unfortunately, those with degrees are not above state-sponsored espionage. Offering carte blanche visas to people for having a degree is how your geopolitical enemies exfiltrate data.

Excuses excuses. That officially ended over a hundred years ago, and numerous well-meaning parties have fallen all over themselves in the last 4-6 decades to rectify this problem. Regardless of all that, such failures have nothing to do with moralizing Christians pushing their modern agenda against public schools. Absolutely nothing. Especially not in a place like Baltimore where they have no power. Kindly address the raised point - that social conservatives are somehow responsible for the failure of schools.

That doesn't explain school systems like Baltimore.

Many parents look at public school as a babysitter.

Are there legions of better teachers we can hire right now to do a better job, if in fact that's what we need them to do?

When I was a school kid, I had multiple teachers bust down whatever egos we had (especially in math class) by reminding us that various Soviet students could run circles around us in math with an abacus instead of our fancy graphing calculators.

There are school systems past and present that have produced better testing results on less money spent per student.

That's the 8060s.

Does DeepSeek still claim to be ChatGPT?

Probably no one, though if you used it to . . . I dunno, organize a calendar or produce a flier for your group that contained event information at least peripherally-related to your affiliation, it might slip out eventually that you're with Falun Gong. There's certainly a list of names associated with the group, and if it even catches wind of you associating with such people, that may affect its behavior.

It isn't censorship. It's pointless discrimination. It's like selling a screwdriver or a hammer that doesn't work once it realizes you're a Seventh Day Adventist (or whatever). How does that even make any sense?

At least Kimmel and Colbert haven't gone missing.
