Quote:A Staten Island elementary school scrapped its traditional father-daughter dance this coming Friday because of the Department of Education’s new gender guidelines.
The DOE ordered schools to “eliminate” any “gender-based” practices like the dance in a March 2017 policy update unless they serve a “clear” educational purpose.
The PS 65 shindig, set for Feb. 9, was abruptly postponed until next month after the school’s PTA realized the dance would run afoul of the rules.
“Until we understand what we are legally permitted to do, we need to table this event,” PTA president Toni Bennett wrote to a private school-parents group on Facebook.
Some parents were hopping mad at what they saw as political correctness intruding on a quaint tradition, now in its third year.
“They’re trying to take away everything that everybody grew up on and has come to know and I don’t think it’s fair or right,” said Matthew West, a 32-year-old father of two daughters at the school, Lily and Willow. “They should leave it the way it was — father-daughter, mother-son.”
Of PC culture, he said, “I hate it . . . People are just becoming too scared to talk.”
“It’s not fair at all,” said Jose Garcia, 37, who’s gone to the past two dances with his 9-year-old daughter, Jolene. “I have nothing against no one but I don’t think that it should affect the school, or the kids for that matter.”
A disappointed Jolene said, “They had a dance party. We got to wear dresses and hang out with our friends.”
“All this gender crap needs to just stop,” said mom Akaia Cameron, who added that her third-grader had a “great time” with dad last year.
Parents pointed out PS 65 has no gender-inequality issues, because the Stapleton school had a mother-son bowling event last year.
The school’s PTA will stage a rescheduled dance for kids and caregivers of any gender on March 2, according to the DOE.
Bennett told The Post the PTA will change the annual “Father/Best Guy & Daughter Dance” to a more inclusive theme.
Principal Sophie Scamardella instructed the PTA to change the event “to ensure all students and families were welcome to attend,” DOE spokeswoman Miranda Barbot said.
“We have clear guidelines in place that require school-related events to be inclusive of all students,” Barbot said.
Still, while the PTA president was pointing to gender policies, the principal announced in a confusing letter to befuddled parents on Wednesday that the dance was postponed because Bennett “wanted to host it at a bigger venue.”
“The DOE . . . has strict guidelines about how we present information,” Scamardella wrote. “They have a ‘gender neutral’ policy that must be adhered to at all times.”
Some parents “have taken to Facebook to challenge this ruling,” she added, but “there is no challenge.”
The DOE’s new Transgender and Gender Nonconforming Student Guidelines, issued last March, were behind the change, and not any parental complaint, according to Bennett.
“Father-daughter dances inherently leave people out. Not just because of transgender status, just life in general,” said Jared Fox, the DOE’s LGBT community liaison. “These can be really uncomfortable and triggering events.”
But Fox said there’s no DOE policy explicitly banning father-daughter dances. Events are reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
“I’m really hard-pressed to put a moratorium on anything,” he said.
Ironically, he added, “For a young trans girl, to be able to go to a father-daughter dance can feel very affirming because in this instance she’s recognized as a daughter.”
Schools are allowed to hold father-daughter dances, Fox said, “as long as there’s messaging that they’re inclusive to everybody.”
While PS 65 adheres to new gender-neutral guidelines, other schools don’t.
PS 30, also on Staten Island, has already planned a pricey dance “to celebrate your little girl and the father figure in her life,” according to a flyer for the April 14 event. Tickets for couples cost $100.
PS 232 Lindenwood, in Queens, had a “Daddy Daughter Dance” on Thursday night, according to a school calendar. PS 83 in The Bronx plans a “Father/Daughter Dance” on June 6, as well as a May 19 “Mother and Son Field Day” and a “Mother/Daughter Spa Night” on April 27.
“People are uncomfortable with change,” Bennett said. “It’s a new policy and, let’s face facts, there are many schools that ignore it.”

You need to be careful with this, "Anything can change over time" argument, because it's a fundamentally leftist talking point.
In America, Blacks have been academically and educationally inferior to Whites by at least 15 IQ points since they were brought here as slaves. So that's from 1800 until 2017, nine fucking generations - an unfathomable massively long time that's consumed untold billions of dollars and hours "combating systematic racism".
The proper question is, "Do we want to continue to fund social programs designed to equalize academic achievement between the races? And, if so, which ones and to what degree?" But you can't participate in that discussion when "Race Realism" points out just how bad the situation is, and you reply, "But any tribe can change over time."
So, I was wondering in terms of politics and stuff, are the globalists responsible for making the two political parties in America ideologically purely on one side for each party?

Mayor Michael Tubbs calls his city “ground zero” for issues like wage stagnation, rising housing prices and loss of middle-class jobs that affect the nation.
The Central Valley city went bankrupt in 2012, and for decades it has been trying to diversify its agriculture-based economy.
“I feel that as mayor it’s my responsibility to do all I could to begin figuring out what’s the best way to make sure that folks in our community have a real economic floor,” Tubbs said.

I think that the gap was probably higher in the beginning - 75/80 vs 100. There wasn't much positive eugenics going on. The gap was probably closed only due to better food and plenty of whites having mixed children. By now almost half of US blacks have white ancestors.
No country has done even any decent attempt of positive eugenics - despite the fact that the concepts have been understood somewhat for 2000 years.
Fuck all the social welfare programs and current magic dirt theories - or blasting money into schools.
I have pointed out my recommendations with intensive financial incentives for the highest-IQ blacks getting the highest amount of children. The Jewish 112 IQ has also been achieved by similar measures. If you want to debate that, then you might just as well accept the inalienable superiority of the Jewish tribe and become a Zionist forever.
(I might add that some native European people already have documented IQs in the 106-108 range as this has also progressed in the recent decades. (2+ per decade until the 1990s)
Oh - and I am not denying any current-stage dynamic, so the leftist can suck it - don't equate me with their marxist bullshit.
And another thing - usually the elite prefer their people to be dumb and the current ruling elite is no different. They won't create any non-PC eugenic policies, just scream racism or feminism to create "equality".

Universal Basic Income is in the plan for every Western country - actually later across the world since they know that they don't need the useless eaters. Automation and globalization in tandem with anti-small-company and environmentalist policies should eliminate most work anyway. Of course they will make demands of people after getting them used to basic income.
It's hilarious when folk think that you can take 200 mio. Africans, put them into Japan instead of the Japanese, give them a Japanese constitution and training and they will continue just the way the Japanese did. No biggie if they are 25 IQ points lower, no biggie that they are in a tribal system and have horrible work ethic - they will simply suck up the magic dirt of Japan and become proper Japanese citizens.
The great Western replacement will be a wonderfully documented case study for future historians - another Rome - just with plenty of video footage.
But hey - go ahead and do what this bitch is saying - just destroy and refuse all Western White science - start from scratch, but ditch your Iphone first.
At least in a few generations the children of those broads will be working in the fields living in mud-huts again too busy doing chores and having countless children with 70% mortality rates.

In the future most likely blacks in North America will resemble the colonial Haitian model where there's "low caste" blacks, mixed race blacks (who mostly identify black) and assorted wealthy "upper caste" blacks.
I wouldn't be surprised as the generations of blacks continue on in the U.S. that their skin color on the top end start to get lighter too since a lot of wealthy black men breed with other races of women.
African-Americans already have a skin tone bias amongst themselves but it will be strengthened by actual generational economic and class differences. Race(s) within the AA community will become a real thing too.
I can't imagine what will happen along class and race warfare then as latinos come into inevitable opposition of the current AA community. I'm guessing the latino bloc will accept some of the powerful lighter skinned blacks.
The upper caste blacks will eventually all separate and wall themselves off from the others and become accepted into the ranks of white society. The lower caste will virtue signal endlessly about how real they are while not making any real progress to their overall condition.

Here in Hawaii, we don't really care what the law says. We just like to beat California. Liberal, conservative, it doesn't matter. We had universal health care and abortions way before anyone else. Try buying a gun here. No dice.
The thing is, all the politicians know how to get the money to solve all this states problems, and turn a profit that can be returned to the people. Something like the Alaska Permanent fund would work out here if certain taxes were actually collected. However, the Filipino in everyone is strong here. On top of delicious balut, they bring they're special style of corruption, so nothing,happens. I'd be happy to see a permanent fund type situation, if done properly. Instead this will be just another form of welfare that unfortunately Hawaii tops the list at too. Google it.
Also, that article is about Stockton ca. I thought if you needed money or help with anything in Stockton you call the sons of anarchy and they come right out. Oh well.

There are many different theories about his real reasons for buying up major low-dollar land in Hawaii. Considering our politicians are the most for sale there is, its an easy way for people like him to get a consistent yes vote from two senators for whatever the hell it is they want. Larry Ellison didn't buy an entire island here because he likes the beach, he did it for cheap influence.
This UBI shit is something I have strong feelings about.
Here in Australia they have already cut off one level of lower to middle class welfare for parents who refuse to have their kids vaccinated. Whatever a person's stance on that is, we can all see where things will head from there.
The level at which they're pushing the flu vaccine in the states is unbelievable and grows by the day. The fear mongering, innocent pictures, and sobbing parents keeps getting plastered everywhere. Now they are saying that because there are 4 strains of flu out there, if you got sick with the flu, then got better, but didn't get a vaccine yet, that you still need to get a vaccine because of these 4 different strains! This while they admitted that this years vaccine is ineffective. They're even doing 'drive-thru' vaccinations now.
I would also be interested if there is serious fuckery going on with Tamiflu. That shit got so much positive media coverage during the 2005 'bird flu' scare and is again getting regularly prescribed to flu patients.
As a general note, it's looking like the deep state has been rushing with its plans in the last few years. Things are getting pretty damn obvious and I think more people than we (or they) suspect are becoming aware.

I think all this is true. However, three or four generations of IQ concentration and white mixing will take 100 years or more. In that time, the social and cultural trends are beyond prediction.
Technology is likely to allow genetic editting for most children by then. AI, robotics, and mining and colonization of space and the sea beds will happen by then, changing the equation regarding material wealth. Global population will probably have peaked, and will be in decline.
Everything we talk about here on RVF is really about what will happen in the next 5-15 years, and perhaps what will happen to Europe when the native whites drop to 60% or below.
The actual results of race mixing over 100 years will be overshadowed by technology driven social changes.

Basic Income recipients will have mandatory yearly flu shots for sure among other mandatory things. The money will not be unconditional - so better make sure to never be dependent on it.
Of course in addition it will destroy the work ethic among many people even more. But maybe they will enact a one-child-police for BMI recipients while giving them 10-20% more if they allow themselves to be sterilized.
Give people a blank cheque and they don't suddenly become Nikola Tesla of their mother's basement.
The left-wing push for UBI is also an essential admission by the left that their policies are an absolute failure. These are the people they claim to represent - people who have little stake in society - and they're now telling us they don't really know what to do with them beyond give them other people's money and hope they might pull something out of the bag they've already being pulling nothing from. This is an admission that their government schools are grossly inefficient for the current millennia.
They're not going to try and figure out a way how they adjust any of their decaying systems, they will just go on continuing to say "everyone is equal", while pervading over the areas of the country with the poorest people they have no idea how to make equal and pick up their votes.
But let them have UBI in their rapidly depopulating states. It will hit Democrat birth rates the hardest.
I'll trade UBI for all the bullshit money-waster welfare programs we have running right now in the USA, anything less would be bullshit. If the lefties really want to try it out, that'll be the price.
This North and SOuth korea thing just keeps on getting more amusing.
One day he is threatening multiple countries with DEATH TO AMERIKA! rhetoric and the next his sister is in the South and he invites the President to the capital to meet him.
Either the Chinese are using another tactic or little fatman wants hostages or wants to be seen as a friendly face in the short term so Trump looks like a warmonger.
Since the Chinese have zero concerns about North Korea then this should tell you that North Korea is a country up to the bazoo filled with their agents, total surveillance and that bugger can't bang any new whore or take a shit without China knowing about it. My take is that if that moron would ever attempt any real thing, then the Chinese would take him out within 5 minutes.
The rest is the usual saber rattling that helps both US as well as now Chinese weapons manufacturers - South Korea, as well as China and the US must of course be always vigilant and invest in the newest anti-missile technology and other gimmicks - also all big munitions supplies need to be replenished if they are not used. One North Korea generates hundreds of billions of $ in turnover. A peaceful united North and South Korea would be truly bad for business.
