If they had offered to hire me back, I could not have accepted their offer because they had taken far too many adverse actions against me. They had a) forced me to take a $21,863/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980, b) gave me bad job assignments, unfair performance appraisals, and unfair performance appraisals, c) turned my superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates against me, d) assigned me to supervise their most problematic employees, e) kept me off audits of IRS except 1986-1988, f) delayed my promotions to GS-11, GS12, and GS-13 and never promoted me beyond GS-13, g) always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, and h) misled me to believe that they were going to let me work until I would be eligible for regular retirement when I was 55 in 2003.)

EPOCH TIMES
— House Passes Parents Bill of Rights Act – Joseph Lord
https://www.theepochtimes.com/house-passes-parents-bill-of-rights-act_5147144.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: One of the Republicans’ key goals in crafting the bill was to ensure that parents who speak out against what is being taught to their children do not face retribution from local, state, or federal authorities. “No longer will [parents] have their speech denied, or feel threatened for expressing their concerns at school board meetings,” Foxx said. The comment was in reference to a late-2021 controversy in which Attorney General Merrick Garland offered federal resources and guidance to local law enforcement to target parents who attended school board meetings. In 2021, the United States saw a deluge of concerned parents coming to school board meetings to speak out against left-wing ideology in the classroom. Many parents came to their school board to speak out against critical race theory (CRT), a highly contentious left-wing theory that holds that white people are inherently “privileged” and that non-white people are inherently oppressed. Critics of CRT note that it has its origins in the political thought of Karl Marx, the ideological founder of communism; the theory has also been criticized as racist for its efforts to reduce the individual to a member of a group on the basis of their skin color. In his remarks against the bill, Scott suggested that CRT was “an accurate recounting of our nation’s history,” and that the legislation would “punish librarians” who pushed CRT. Other parents came to school board meetings to speak out against fringe left-wing notions of sex and gender. Many left-wing activists claim that gender is a social construct and that a person can change their gender based on their feelings. One parent, Terry Newsome of Chicago, who spoke out against allowing “Gender Queer” in his kids’ school library in 2021, was later placed on a terror watch-list with no warning or further explanation.)

https://www.oann.com/newsroom/huckabee-sanders-goes-after-white-privilege-survey/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: At a mandatory training last month, a high school in Arkansas issued its teachers a poll that forced them to reject the perks that come with being White. The survey was titled “Cultural Competency Continuum: Knowledge, Behaviors, and Dispositions for Educators,” and it was handed out during an obligatory educator-led development training, according to a letter sent by John L. Colbert, Fayetteville Public Schools Superintendent. However, the unexpected teacher survey may have possibly violated Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ restriction on Critical Race Theory (CRT). “My administration will not tolerate this kind of CRT and indoctrination in our public schools,” Sanders said. Photos of the four-section survey, which the group had obtained from a teacher, were tweeted by a local “Mom’s for Liberty” chapter. “This survey compels teachers to acknowledge that, if White, they are biased, racist, and privileged… The survey does not measure IF a teacher is racist and privileged but rather how far down the racist and privileged continuum their answers rate them,” tweeted the mother-run group. “If there was any question about the presence of CRT in our district, this survey removes all doubt.” The Cultural Competency Continuum survey was recently given to teachers at Fayetteville High. This survey requires “teachers to acknowledge and to continually examine the influence of race, culture, power and privilege…In the “Analyze and Align” portion, educators were asked if they renounce “any privileges that come with White racial identity” and if they “advocate for cultural competency and social justice effectively and professionally.” The “Awaken and Assess” portion questioned participants if they were cognizant of their own privileges, biases, and stereotypes. In the “Apply and Act” portion, participants were asked if they normally “monitor and manage equitable access and support services” for their students by looking at data on their gender, color, ethnicity, and language. Also, it inquired as to whether they permit pupils to raise the awareness of teachers “by questioning bias assumptions or behaviors observed in our school environment.” Additionally, the survey questioned if participating educators were “brave equity warriors.” “We’ve already reached out to the district to ensure no teacher is forced to sign this pledge. We’re making sure it doesn’t happen again. We will teach kids how to think, not what to think,” Sanders said. Sanders had announced a ban on the schooling of CRT as one of her first official acts as governor. In his letter, Colbert stated that the Arkansas Department of Education had found the survey to be in violation of this rule. “Based on this guidance, Fayetteville Public Schools will ensure this survey is not further disseminated,” Colbert said in response to angry teachers and parents. All upcoming professional development materials, he pledged, would be examined to assure the utmost compliance. Colbert later downplayed the incident, claiming that the teacher survey was only ever used as a tool for introspection and was never actually collected or made mandatory. However, this contradicted what some teachers said were instructed to them in the beginning, regarding the survey. The Fayetteville Public School District declined to give any comments or answer journalist questions.)
