Jackson Jambalaya

We need to spend more on education, right?

Is this a surprise to anybody?

Ve know you have a sister in Berlin. You vill komply!

Well, it goes without saying that what is contained in this post will never see the light of day in any of the local news outlets.

I wonder how much JPS pays for those materials/program(ming).

"Wonder what the reading and math proficiency is in that class."

It's in a classroom at a Jackson public school. Those signs could say nothing more than "conservative," "liberal," and "2+2=4," and the majority of kids, teachers, and admins could not read or understand them. Heck, even "dog" and "cat" would cause a lot of head-scratching.

And how often do we hear the lie, "There is no such thing as Critical Race Theory being taught in Mississippi schools".

Many public schools (and ALL Head Start Centers) in this state are pits of nepotism, DEI and CRT.

I remember that awful song!

I was a young thing, sitting in what there was of a customer waiting area at Gemotec, over by the chicken plant in South Jackson. There were German master mechanics, who kept our Volvos running. This was back, long before Donald - back when Republicans were as bad as Democrats. I forget which was in office at the time. But there was some stupid new war in the Middle East (any involvement over there was stupid, in my mind, because every single time "we" went over there, a whole bunch of "refugees" would be brought back, to pollute our nation).

And I'd just gotten through saying that, to one of the Germans, when the stupid song came on. The Secretary, who should've been crowned 'Mrs South Jackson White Trash' - or maybe 'Mrs McDowell Road', and drove a red Fiero - or maybe something worse (if anything neckier has ever existed), puffed-up, stood-up, and DEFIANTLY turned-up the volume on the radio, looking straight at me - the weird, Armani-pantsuit-clad Choctaw woman with the snakeskin flats and the big abalone shell brooch sprigged with brown and grey diamonds (Elfie, Mrs Redneck's boss, from the good end of Germany, had just admired that custom creation).

Oh, how I miss the days when an all-neutrals outfit - down to the jewels - meant you were MORE sophisticated than others. Sigh...

I DON'T miss the days, though, when Republicans were no better than Democrats.

Most Mississippians ignore stuff such as this, but apparently Mississippi's PWT cannot.

Where does it say “this is good” or “this is bad”? I didn’t see that, but surely the “Wall Street Apes” Twitter feed is a reliable source.

The video looked authentic to me so I ran with it, not because it was the WSA. As for good or bad, those are my words. Yeesh. I bet you don't get jokes, either.

This may not be entirely under Jackson Public School's authority. The Upward Bound program is a federally funded program aiding high school students in "underserved" communities in preparation for entering certain colleges/universities. Their instructors are chosen through the program. The politics of those administering this program is obvious.

Homeschool your kids! This is only going to get worse. Now, can I keep my damn tax dollars instead of it funding schools that spew this crap?

11:02 nailed it. The local press will ignore it.
No...No!...NO! I'm sure the virtuous Mississippi Today is all over this with a major expose'.

Yet our do nothing GOP will go ahead and do nothing.

I believe JPS gets more funding per student that any other school district in the state. Why doesn't the Legislature cut state funding to JPS?

Those are the words of the video’s narrator, too, which don’t appear to be substantiated by what’s in the actual video. I can’t imagine you disagree that there are generally conservative states and generally liberal ones, or that pointing that out is an illegitimate thing to do in an American public school. I can imagine a host of innocuous reasons why a teacher might want to do that. Calling it “indoctrination” seems like quite an hysterical stretch.

I used to work with incompetent teachers like this. That said I would like to know the class test scores, discipline issues from the class and the admin observation scores. Instead of actually teaching their subjects it was nonsense that was not helping any student be successful in life. Looks as if an improvement plan maybe in order for someone or a school.

Upward Bound is a federally funded/controlled program and JSU upward bound serves several counties, not just JPS. This is not controlled by JPS, and may not even be in Hinds County.

The Liberal side has a large YES! and the Conservative side has a large NO!.

There was a NARRATOR? Thanks, 12:57! He must have chimed-in after I hit 'Mute' - not wanting that music stuck in my head. But yes: I was at a loss, trying to see what I was missing. I saw red states and blue states, but nothing particularly value-loaded or preachy in it.

12:45 The local news or any other credible news outlet should get the facts before attributing this presentation to Jackson Pubic Schools or any other institution. What someone put on a board does not mean it is being instructed by a teacher. It could be a student's presentation. If some student or teacher writes on a board "God does not exist" and fails to erase the statement does that mean the school is teaching atheism? Before making conclusions get ALL the facts.

How is this not okay, but it is okay to mandate schools post the Ten Commandments in classrooms?

@1:19 - they didn’t even post a school name. This likely occurred at the Grok School for Republicans who can’t read so good.

I'm new to medical cannabis. Can you tell me which you're on so I can try it? I like the ready-rolls during the day and gummies at night.

And I’m proud to be an American where I can bang my chicks for free!

I see that one of the Jackson Free Press writers came and posted six inane comments in a row.

Yeah, it’s indoctrination, wherever it is. Nothing any Republican is ever going to do anything about it but bitch, though, which is all Republicans ever do anyway. It’s not called the Stupid Party for no reason.

And that tune was nice to hear one time, maybe twice. But one-hit-wonder Lee Greenwood has made an entire fucking career scrabbling about the country to sing that one, single, solitary tune for almost 50 full years now. Each time I hear it now, I can’t get the image of doddering old Uncle Ronnie (Mr. “We’re Going To Grow Our Way Out Of The Deficit”) out of my mind, he having been propped up by his handlers next to a flagpole somewhere where he dusted off his old acting chops, his chin grobbling as though he were about to break down in tears of joy because he was proud up to his keister to be un uhmercan.
