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.”

And people wonder why some of us think the world is not too far off from the Tribulation, or the 70th week from the Book of Daniel.
This kind of insanity, the “normalization” of gay “marriage”, gays “having babies” and people identifying as “transgender”.
And all of this absurdity is being adamantly defended by those who put a Lying Kenyan into the most powerful office in the world; not once, but twice.
We don't want to ask what's next - for they are already plumbing the depths of insanity.
Good point. If everyone is member of a protected class then no one is a member of a protected class.
I would declare myself to be of all races and both sexes.
“I’m a Main Battle Tank!”
Gargantuan comes to mind (and screen)
Well, that’s one way to make affirmative action have no meaning.
Let me see if I understand this.
You can choose to be anything you wish?
Your endemic qualities no longer matter?
Then how can you be discriminated against?
Just change your status like “Cut! Scene change!” And the bias no longer applies.
Cultural Appropriation can’t be accused...
Really, these people are going to look pretty stupid a couple generations from now...
What’s next is madness, and then The End.
Winner!
Dare we ask what you do to Babe the Blue Ox?
I reckon we’re all now qualified for Affirmative Action quotas if we want to be....
Frankly I’m stunned at the number of idiots all across the world. And even more shocked at Americans.
That’s why I say it must have some root in the supernatural Strong Delusion prophesied for the Last Days.
You have people actually comparing Obama to Jesus Christ. And you can look people in the eye and they have no problem with it. I’ve experienced it personally. Blows my mind. They actually believe Obama was doing the work of Jesus.
Ask them about gay marriage, transgender madness and abortion including partial-birth abortion where they stick surgical scissors into the brain of the baby to kill it.
And they have no problem whatsoever supporting these people.
Good, may be the end of Affirmative Action!
My race is salmon. Boy do I have a lot of rights.
Oh, we will end this soon. Pure folly. Wont last.
LOL - I should have thought of Monty Python
Identify as an adult, college graduate and get the hell out of there.
Sorry, but there has to be some basis in objective reality. It simply cannot be case that one’s sex or race is completely subjective.
Delusion trumps reality every time.
Anthropologists claim we're all Africans. Many Christians believe we all descended from Adam. Let kids claim whatever race they want. End this stupid crap. The only ones getting hurt by this are racist bean-counting Democrats.
