Ah yes the old Soviet tactic "this has been debunked/this research has been discredited" without evidence to support. As someone who is always demanding links from other I am surprised you did not post links showing how each and every instance has been debunked. A July survey by EducationWeek found that barely a year after the murder of George Floyd by a Minnesota cop, 8% of K-12 teachers said they have taught or discussed CRT with students; the figure for teachers in urban schools is much higher: 20%. Meanwhile, the Association of American Educators found in July that 4.1% of teachers were actually required to teach critical race theory, and 11% said that teaching CRT should be mandatory. If those percentages hold true for the nation’s estimated 2 million secondary school teachers in public and private schools, that would translate to more than 150,000 middle- and high-school teachers who teach or discuss CRT. “Our curriculum is deeply using critical race theory, especially in social studies, but you'll find it in English language arts and the other disciplines,” Detroit Public Schools Superintendent Nikolai Vitti said at a Nov. 9 board of education meeting. “We were very intentional about creating a curriculum, infusing materials, and embedding critical race theory within our curriculum.” https://edworkforce.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=407991 Seems there have been instances of it being taught. California it seems allows it, but does not mandate it. https://www.csba.org/-/media/CSBA/Files/GovernanceResources/EducationalEquity/CriticalRaceTheory_FAQ_7-1-2021.ashx How is CRT related to California’s Ethnic Studies Model Curriculum? The state’s model curriculum is intended to provide guidance to school districts and county offices of education. It does not require specific concepts — such as critical race theory — be incorporated, should an LEA decide to offer an ethnic studies course. In fact, the only references to CRT in the model curriculum are outlined below: In Chapter 3, “Instructional Guidance for K-12 Education,” under “Useful Theory, Pedagogy, and Research” in the Approaches to Ethnic Studies section, the model curriculum recommends that teachers and administrators should “familiarize themselves with current scholarly research around ethnic studies instruction, such as critically and culturally/community relevant and responsible pedagogies, critical race theory, and intersectionality, which are key theoretical frameworks and pedagogies that can be used in ethnic studies research and instruction.” [emphasis added] CRT also appears in a footnote in this section along with definition of the phrase: “’Critical race theory (CRT) is a practice of interrogating race and rac- ism in society. CRT recognizes that race is not biologically real but is socially constructed and socially significant. It acknowledges that racism is embedded within systems and institutions that replicate racial inequality — codified in law, embedded in structures, and woven into public policy.’ Janel George (2021). “A Lesson on Critical Race Theory.” American Bar Association.”

Must say I am curious as the the Survey design/questions if that was from the survey.

Likewise the teaching of woke progressiveism, Critical Race Theory and that Socialism is viable. It seems that this is a reaction to what is being taught by teachers who have exceeded their mandate.

Sorry, bad prose, I meant to make the point that Thai companies pay agents to get foreign staff work permits rather than do it themselves, even though this means extra expense. One company I worked for didn't, and it was a very long drawn out affair.

Mussolini is dead - has been for quite some time now.

Not unless they have brought in a new rule that it has to be same day. Historically CW has always been up to 7 days and I did mine earlier this year with I think 5 or 6 days prior. Whether or not that is an exception for SCB account holders as there is no branch at CW now I don't know, but I doubt as it didn't matter which bank. Many provincial offices demand same day, however.

Pretty much any Thai company also. And we all know how reluctantly they spend money if they can avoid it.

Does Thailand even issue visas to sock puppets?

Yes you are quite right, 400k or 40k income, plus house and top of the range pickup purchase.

That will likely cost you more than an Elite or LTR visa, although the marriage visa itself is only Bt1,900.

"facts" and Channel 4. OK.

He gets his "facts" from The Guardian.

Obviously spent too much time playing with his grandchildren and took his eye off the ball.

He did, look forward to your comments on this - not going to just ignore it are we?

Looks like underworld enforcement. Such lovely tourists Thailand is bringing in. Meanwhile NON IMM extensions are going to be revamped.

Still some barrels left to scrape the bottom of it seems.

CW will accept bank letter up to 7 days prior - useful for SCB account holders, who also can't update their passbook at CW - ATM only under the stairs - you would have thought they would provide one of the multiple use machines after having a large branch there. For reentry permit they now do show your number at the time of the appointment, which now means you can't walk up and get seen earlier if they are free. This @n@l tying you down to your address with documents that need to be supplied by a third party is irksome, especially in light of all the people on TR and Russians on 90 day stamps staying at unregistered apartments.

No masked assault rifle armed SWAT team at the briefing?

They seem to be normal ordinary people with mainstream views to me, what am I missing?

At a certain level of assets it seems foreigners cease to be a threat to"national security" such that they have to report their address every 90 days. It is really about keeping us in our place.

Also full review of business and visa status. The Swiss should have had the book thrown at him for the actual incident such that it applied to that incident, but when they also started to go through all his affairs with a fine tooth comb it made you wonder.

Lower Sukhumvit is overrun with people who regard dogs as unclean. They probably poison them. I have seen dogs there occasionally still but they then vanish very quickly. I also saw one who seemed very sick in a way which could be poisoning.

Are MAGA Republicans "fascists"? As far as I can tell they just hold traditional values that were the mainstream up until the last 10 years. It is a fairly safe bet that these are the values that were held by those who stormed the Normandy beaches and flew B17s over Germany to defeat Nazism.

Yeah, he kinda gave the game away with that one.

Truly appalling, just mud slinging.
