Are there any teachers who can really talk about solutions to the problems covid presents? Rather seriously, of what I can find anecdotally online (as I know no teachers IRL) that even trying to have in-person classes haven't really helped, because parents pull their kids out of class or a significant chunk misses school due to being out sick/quarantine and now the entire lesson plan is screwed up.

In my personal experience such statements are actually not rare among specific minorities, and only in spaces between those minorities. They will never be said in a public way, because it makes them targets. I've been pulled aside by fellow minorities and warned against communities I had expressed interest in in the past, always in private in confidential spaces.

Teen girls are not at all ready for pregnancy in any respect. Just because they started puberty doesn't mean puberty has been completed.

Who can afford to legally challenge an entire police department? Probably not the disproportionately targeted...

Between the time the court rejected a stay and the hearings next year, a constitutional right will be denied to countless people.

There was actually a big twitter thread by a black recruiter at Google (now cut) who out and out said that Google's interviewing engineers looked down on black seniors and ranked them universally lower than white seniors, particularly black seniors from historically black universities. She had to fight tooth and nail to accomplish getting the first black entry-level-from-college hire in all of Google's history.

Author Beware however has an extremely long track record of calling out fraudsters. Any author who reads a warning from them would do well to take them over the word of any fraudster.

But importantly, face-to-face doesn't do anything to mollify that, which is against what the GP says.
