Converse's new shoe is inspired by the pentagram

From their Instagram feed:

“I've been using this pentagram for a long time because obviously, it has adolescent occult associations. But I like geometric diagrams like that because, in a very primal way, they are a culture's grasp for control. And a way to organize thoughts and systems. And a pentagram, in this day and age with all of its associations… I like the fact that it refers to an alternative system. And that suggests openness and empathy. It suggests the pursuit of pleasure, this pursuit of sensation. But one of the main things that I think it suggests is empathy and a consideration of systems of living that might not be standard. So that leads us to be more accepting and tolerant of other systems, which I think is a good thing.” —@rickowensonline on his DRKSHDW logo

Cyber Ninjas Quietly Go to Arizona Supreme Court Over Right to Change Judge in Arizona Republic's Audit Records Case | AZ Law Blog

The Cyber Ninjas quietly filed a Special Action Petition last night with the Arizona Supreme Court, stating that they should be able to ask for a new judge in the election "audit" records case brought by the Arizona Republic newspaper.

The news organization filed a special action in Maricopa County Superior Court on June 30th seeking financial records and communications about the audit from the Senate and Cyber Ninjas.

The Republican Party is not involved in this lawsuit, but Cyber Ninjas' attorney Jack Wilenchik argues that Judge Hannah shows "actual bias and prejudice" against the Arizona GOP and "conservative causes".

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
RE: Senator Kelly Townsend responds to Arizona school boards ignoring ban on mask mandates
Phoenix, AZ
07/30/2021

The elected legislative branch has acted this year to prohibit the type of mandates that Phoenix Unified School Board has announced they intend to enforce. The school board's attorney believes they have a window of authority to overreach, despite the clear intent of the law.

I have directed my counsel, both at Legislative Council and the Attorney General's Office to determine the effective date of the law I supported and intend to see enforced.

I will continue to give updates as to what action can be taken, as they come in. It is clear we still have an issue with rogue school boards when it comes to forcing masks. I encourage all parents to exercise their statutory authority given to them in A.R.S.1-602, giving them the authority to make medical and educational choices for their child.

Godspeed,
Senator Kelly Townsend

Even though Governor Ducey signed legislation on June 9th to "ban" CRT in Arizona, a Social Emotional Learning (SEL) bill - SB1376 - was signed into law the very next day.

What is SEL?

SEL is a program that, if done well, can be a good thing. It would simply be about ensuring that students are not facing discrimination, bullying, etc. and being sure there is a system in place to help struggling students, whether that is in academics, mentally, or emotionally. It would have nothing to do with skin color, race, or religion being a hindrance to anyone in any way. True "youth empowerment" is teaching kids that everyone and anyone has the ability to succeed in life. The issue we are seeing, however, is that many SEL programs include language about "equity" and "diversity" that become synonymous with the discriminatory ideology we've seen in CRT. This is what we'd like to avoid.

"SEL advances educational equity and excellence through authentic school-family-community partnerships to establish learning environments and experiences that feature trusting and collaborative relationships, rigorous and meaningful curriculum and instruction, and ongoing evaluation. SEL can help address various forms of inequity and empower young people and adults to co-create thriving schools and contribute to safe, healthy, and just communities.

A program called CASEL is being implemented into some of our schools, including charter schools. This program is funded by Bill & Melinda Gates and Chan Zuckerberg Initiative.

Buried in the Arizona Department of Education website are specific guidelines from CASEL stating that implementation of this program should "engage staff, families, and community partners in foundational learning."

Have you, as a "community partner", been asked to participate in this implementation of CASEL or any other SEL program in your district?

Here are the concerns about SEL in general.

SEL is ill-defined, unproven and still connected to Common Core.

There’s a mish-mash of psycho-social, neuroscience talk, and programs are not always well-explained to parents, or well-understood. SEL covers so much.

“Core” is used often, because SEL is connected to Common Core.

Where’s the research? The reliance of support is on a 2011 Meta-analysis of eight studies showing students do better academically with SEL activities, but there’s nothing to support the pervasive dominance of SEL assessment in schools. Full article here.
