“Scheme” doesn’t have the negative connotations of dishonesty and theft in British English like it does in the US.

White and help people == white saviorism

White and don’t help people == racist, elitist

All it proves is they want to criticize white people, regardless of what they do.

Through its focus on “reading to succeed” and “perfecting parenting”, Parton’s Imagination Library scheme is “oppressive”, says Stone. Such themes subjugate children and “privilege a White, middle-class, cis-gendered, heteronormative, able-bodied norm,” it adds.

Every time I hear leftist prattle like this I think of very young Robert Downey Jr's twit character in Back To School: "Violent ground acquisition games such as football is in fact a crypto-fascist metaphor for nuclear war."

Ben Carson credits his mother’s making him read (if I recall) two books a week from the local library as the key to his success.

“The academic paper, by speech and language pathologist Jennifer Stone...”

It is ironic that I doubt she even considered she is certainly a recipient of DEI saviourism.

I’d like for them to come down to Sevierville and say that. They might see parts of the mountains nobody will ever see again.

Some people can’t be happy with anything. They will find a reason to b***h about everything. BTW, I love Dolly. She’s smart, generous, self-deprecating and funny.

One of my favorite lines from her is, “It takes a lot of money to look this cheap!”

Can North Carolina’s legislature pass a law to set this pseudo-scholar’s pay at minimum wage?

So if Oprah would have done the same thing as Dolly did what would you call it?

Truly sick.

I know a good black dude who has done lots, and now been recognized lots for, getting books into barber shops, especially, to reach young black boys.

He’s not a rich white woman, but the two are doing the same thing.

Someone needs to reflect the attack back onto Jennifer Stone. Like her attack on Dolly Parton’s kindness, it should have papers and studies to show how elitist Jennifer Stone’s ideas harm children. Then publish the findings far and wide while demanding she be dismissed from her position with this feckless so called university.

Gonna bet she grew up far more poor and disadvantaged than her DEI critics.

“Just what are you implying?”

__________________

It is well know Dolly Parton has a soft spot in her heart for sexual deviants and the public acceptance/promotion of their perverse lifestyles as love - misplaced compassion.

Parents need to know what children are learning, from whom, and in what context and at the same time, parents rightly invoke a reverence for the moral past as they try to interpret what perversity they are experiencing in the present. Parents concerns about their children center on moral objections related to gender identity and sexual orientation, and exposing their children to destructive queerness. This is extremely valid concern for their children. The predators go to where the prey is. Safeguard your children, their prey.

Can’t let those poor minorities get books and learning. Then they are not as useful as pawns later.
