Princeton University professor Agustín Fuentes wrote an opinion piece for Scientific American contending that it is "bad science" to suggest that human sex is a binary biological concept based on whether an individual produces male of female gametes.

Acknowledging the existence of males and females is now bad science is it. If he says so.

I wish he would post about his Mustang. It is better than derailing our threads with spam videos.

If I was going to buy a performance car, it would be a Camaro.

The best for road racing is the ZL1-1LE. The closest thing to it is well over 140K.  Mopar Hellcat wins hands down for 1/4 mile racing.

I do not think I would be doing any urban racing if I ever buy one.

There's plenty of road racing courses across the country to try it out if you're curious. Many people at those events are willing to take passengers. I have a co worker that races at Ozarks International and Heartland Park in Topeka regularly.

Supposedly, the regular ZL1 is best if you dont plan on road course racing as the 1LE rides real rough and the aero cuts the top speed down about 10mph.....but it sure looks bad ass!

 :laugh3: I understand the trepidation. There is a lot of stigma about what can happen on a race track and the risk to the car.



I never raced on a track before I was 50. The first event, I was nervous AF. Believe it or not, you can purchase track insurance which is a very good idea just in case. I've only seen one accident and it was because it was raining. Now that I've had several events behind me, I absolutely love it. I even took one of my sons on track last event and he loved it too!

A Colorado school urged students to join an LGBT club and to keep the group's meetings and activities "secret" from their parents, according to a lawsuit filed Wednesday by the parents of two sixth-grade girls.



The lawsuit, filed by America First Policy Institute and Illumine Legal on behalf of parents Johnathan and Erin Lee and Nick and Linnaea Jurich against Poudre School District, claimed that teachers encouraged their daughters to join Wellington Middle-High School's Genders and Sexualities Alliance art club in May 2021.



Administration staff allegedly instructed the girls to keep the GSA meetings a "secret" from their parents because the club has a "what happens at GSA stays at GSA policy," the suit claimed.



According to the parents' complaint, the GSA club featured a guest speaker, Kimberly Chambers, a teacher who ran Supporting Pride Learning and Social Happenings, an organization that teaches school children about sexuality and gender identity.



During the May 4, 2021, school club meeting, Chambers told students, "If they are not completely comfortable in their bodies, that means that they are transgender," the lawsuit stated.



The lawsuit also claimed that Chambers told the children it "might not be safe to tell their parents what happened at the GSA meeting or to talk about transgender issues." Instead, she allegedly encouraged students to discuss the topic with her and provided them with her phone number and Discord information.



According to the Lees, after attending the GSA meetings, their daughter suddenly declared she "would be transitioning — despite never having had any thoughts about transgenderism before the meeting."



After a "months-long emotional decline of gender and sexuality confusion that required counseling and included suicidal thoughts," Lees' daughter no longer wanted to transition.

It should surprise nobody that American kids are graduating high school with reading and mathematics skills at a second grade leavel. American teachers don't teach anymore, they indoctrinate. Good luck competing with other countries in the future. :laugh3:

Arizona's largest elementary school district has shifted course, voting to allow students from a Christian university to teach there once again, Alliance Defending Freedom announced Thursday.



"This is a complete vindication of the rights of our students to be able to participate as student-teachers in a public school district without fear of religious discrimination" said Arizona Christian University President Len Munsil in a statement.

The Washington Elementary School District voted 5-0 March 9 to end an arrangement in which ACU students completed their student teaching and practical coursework at WESD, as TheBlazereported. Board members at the time cited ACU's stance on lifelong, monogamous, heterosexual marriage as presenting an "unsafe" condition.



After Alliance Defending Freedom sued WESD, the board apparently saw the error of its ways, with four of its five members voting at Wednesday night's meeting to enter a new agreement with ACU. The district was slapped with $25,000 in attorneys' fees as part of the settlement.

Florida has once again evidenced Gov. Ron DeSantis' November claim that the state "is where woke goes to die."



Students will not be subjected to textbooks pushing leftist propaganda and revisionist histories. Instead, per the suggestion of Florida Education Commissioner Manny Diaz Jr., kids will be provided with textbooks that "focus on historical facts" that are "free from inaccuracies or ideological rhetoric."



One submission provided guidance on how to talk to young children about the national anthem, suggesting, "You can use this as an opportunity to talk about why some citizens are choosing to 'Take a Knee' to protest police brutality and racism."



This suggestion was stricken from the accepted material.



Another textbook, this time targeting grades 6-8, attempted to hype socialism — an ideology linked to most of the 20th century's totalitarian regimes and mass murders.



Florida also refused to subject students to sanitized, revisionist histories about BLM radicals.



A grade 9-12 text was flagged because it entertained the leftist fallacy that brutal communist regimes such as those found in the Soviet Union, Cuba, and China were not representative of real communism.

I have a problem with public schools indoctrinatiing instead of teaching. But, DeSantis might be going too far with banning some books.
