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.”

If He doesn’t (soon) there may not be much left.
The insanity seems to grow geometrically.
It does.
As in the days of Noah.......
More well read on some Ben Bova and Mercedes Lackey short works.
When I saw the bit about the main battle tank, the first that came to mind was Laumer's "Bolo" stories.
Ah, the source material for the old Ogre games.
All this identifying as another race, another sex etc. exhibits the idiocy of the Left.
What happens when children identify as animals and insist that they cannot be require to go to school, wear clothes, live with their parents, or be convicted of a crime?
Not familiar with that derivative.
What happened to the Undead thread? Has it died?
No, we moved.
I could have sworn you’re on the ping list.
The Ogre game was a board game based on the Bolo stories.
I didn’t remember the name of the author, but I remembered the Bolo mk 3 etc.
The Ogre game had to rework the backstory for the tank due to licensing and such.
