Are they really going there? Yes, they apparently are. Too late for Rachel Dolezal, alas. Dolezal identifies as 'transracial' a belief that would have been affirmed if she were a Delaware student today.
The state of Delaware is poised to adopt what is known as “Regulation 225.” Approved both by the Delaware State Education Association and Gov. John Carney, Regulation 225 would safeguard children’s “protected characteristics,” such as gender, age, race, sexual orientation and gender identity. Section 7.4(1) of 225’s Prohibition of Discrimination Code states, “All students enrolled in a Delaware public school may self-identify gender or race, which is maintained in the school.”
Gender isn’t news. But race? Are they really going there? Yes, they apparently are.
Too late for Rachel Dolezal, alas. Remember her? The Spokane, Wash., native became a media sensation in 2015 when she was outed as a white woman passing as black. Dolezal looked the part, with her dark skin and Afro-style hair. Come to think, in Delaware I guess nobody can say she was “passing” anymore. Dolezal identifies as “transracial” — that is, she believes she “is” black, and that belief would have been affirmed if she were a Delaware student today.
If gender isn’t biologically linked, and it’s all about how you feel, then why not race?
Dolezal claimed her identity was a direct analogy to that of a transgender person. She even compared herself to Caitlyn Jenner, who had transitioned around the same time as her story broke. As she said in an interview, “Gender is understood — we’ve progressed, we’ve evolved to understanding that gender is not binary. It’s not even biological. But what strikes me as so odd is that race isn’t biological either.”

This may be a good thing. Like all post-modern, leftist ideologies, this will just end in total chaos and absurdity. At which point, the race-mongers and their politicians will have lost

Unfort., you hit the nail: “...end in total chaos...”.
Everything farked, the Leftists *never* held to account and the Right going, “See. See, told ya so.”, hip deep in the rubble.
We have been fighting this here in D.
Sheer liberal lunacy from our Dems.
The pushback has been much greater than they expected.
It take a lot to piss people off in DE, and people are pissed.
And the utter idiocy continues....
This country is sooooooo fraked.
A government filed with dogs would be less injurious of the citizens. They wouldn't pass any stupid laws or steal from the treasury. They might sleep on the job a lot, but they'd always be happy to see you.
You would be an utter fool not to pick black Hispanic and American Indian as your race. A leg up on the racial set aside goodies.
Y’all can laff, but imagine being stuck in this state with the loons that believe this actually makes sense. It isn’t ‘the people’ here who want this but the Democrat Gov. and the useless Board of Education.
Our country is lost its way. So very sad.
There are some good people left in this world.
But as a whole, it seems like mankind is a failed species.
His only defense in nature was his intelligence.
His intelligence has turned to madness, lunacy and insanity.
That doesn’t even begin to address the dishonesty and evil.
It won’t be long.
Well, I was looking for someone to take over Maxine Waters seat. So you are saying you approve of the proposed replacement? Her district would be all in?

Would they notice?
Kids are smart and will show the “adults” the stupidity of this regulation:
* how long will teenagers self-identify as adults and bring beer to school?
* how long before a teenager comes dressed as a six-year-old black girl and starts a race riot?
* how long before boys self-identifying as girls dominate girls sports?
And it will happen! Unintended consequences of inmates running the asylum.
I am dismayed that most of you (in this thread) have expressed displeasure with the regulation allowing Delaware students to decide for themselves to what race they belong / as "what" they identify.
If not the students themselves - then who should make that judgement call? Some needle-nosed school official?! The school nurse? A self-appointed committee of "race experts?!" The NAACP?!
This has nothing to do with "deciding" one's gender (which shouldn't be left to the individuals - because of the abuse of that privilege by the 0.01% of our populace who "identify" as "whatever").
We FReepers should all applaud this regulation, since it will help undermine the government's attempt to intrude into such personal matters as one's individual racial make-up, by allowing everyone to tick the box marked "other," for instance.Regards,
Would they notice?
Are you a Keith Laumer fan too?
It’s actually great. it will help destroy the whole concept of race based benefits.
If I am white but claim to be black and a conservative does that make me an oreo?
