“Now let’s talk about safety when it comes to helping a turtle across the road. You always wanna pull your vehicle to a stop, put on your hazard lights, and make sure that there are no cars coming in either direction. Move quickly, pick the turtle up gently, and then move it exactly in the direction it was headed. Even if it’s a water turtle, like a painted turtle, if you see a body of water on the side of the road from where it was coming, don’t place it back in that water. It’s likely a female on her way to lay eggs.”
College Board Drops Its ‘Adversity Score’ For Each Student After Backlash
The College Board is dropping its plan to give SAT-takers a single score that captures a student’s economic hardship. The change comes after blowback from university officials and parents of those taking the college admissions exam.
Announced in May, the “adversity score” was intended to assess the kind of neighborhood the student came from, including factors such as the portion of teens receiving free or reduced lunch, the level of crime and average educational attainment.
In an interview with NPR, College Board CEO David Coleman said that boiling all of that complex information down to one number was problematic and that the company is now reversing its decision.
Everybody’s talking about Ariana Grande being at Manchester Pride 2019, but this shit also happened and I’m so fucking tired.
Also fuck those TERFs for once again painting their transmisogynist position as a lesbian issue when most lesbians don’t have issues with trans women and some trans women are also lesbians.
Friendly reminder that even at events where trans women are not excluded, terfs hijack and demand that we be excluded.
Terfs are fascist invaders within LGBT/Queer communities. End of.
Pathetic that pride organizers didn’t do anything to stop these people from hijacking the parade after what happened in London 2018 but I guess when you’re more concerned with getting Ariana Grande to play at your event the safety of the actual people who the event is meant to be for isn’t really that important.
This blog is mostly so I can vent my feelings and share my interests. Other than that, I am nothing special.
If you don't like Left Wing political thought and philosophy, all things related to horror, the supernatural, the grotesque, guns or the strange, then get the fuck out. I just warned you.
