1) 🚨BREAKING: Parents file lawsuit against Villa Duchesne High School for "intentional racial discrimination" against white students, and using "coercion, intimidation, and threats" to indoctrinate students into Critical Race Theory.



However, the class where this vent allegedly took place was videotaped, and upon review no such event had occurred.

During a meeting, the principal and a faculty member allowed a black student to aggressively verbally berate the daughter, without intervention.

Faculty told daughter the sticker was racist and "made to crush the BLM movement," and that "simply having that sticker, you should expect to be treated like a racist."

Other faculty insisted that the daughter "declare that she 'felt safe'" and "it was all in her head."



"I'm gonna throw hands on this bitch"
"That bitch needs to get punched in the face"
"She needs to be beaten up"
"I'm sick of that racist bitch—we need to end her"

Instead of protecting the daughter from threats and violence, the school subjected her to more.

It appears to be a combination of some of these factors, along with others not mentioned here. Ibn Khaldun’s analysis appears to be a good foundation to go off. [Thread]
Ibn Khaldun makes an important distinction between what he calls العُمران الحضري and العمران البدوي, which, for convenience’s sake, I’ll translate as urban civilisation and rural/Bedouin lifestyle.
He notes that the rural world is largely nomadic, and, as such, Bedouins build character traits that assist the survivalist lifestyle — e.g. the fact that they have to kill snakes that might pop up at any time during their travels helps them build courage and bravery.
The lack of stability and a proper settlement means they don’t really have the luxury of sitting down to let their minds wonder around. They thus build a preservation mindset, which manifests itself through emphasis on memorisation and transmission.
Inhabitants of urban world, on the other hand, are largely settled and established. This means they face less attacks from snakes, lions or danger of human attack from other tribes. Thus, they don’t build the courage and bravery of the Bedouins.
I am yet to find a fully convincing account of what caused the emergence of the two contrasting schools of Ahl Al-\u1e24ad\u012bth in the \u1e24ij\u0101z and Ahl Al-Ra'\u012b in Al-K\u016bfa.

My issue with the accounts are as follows:
