Speaker 2 (00:14):
Welcome to The Brian munt Show and thank you for listening.
It's time for today's Top three takeaways. Helpful, useful, repeatable. Yeah,
so hey there, Happy Thursday.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
By the way, did you know the Palm Beach County
School District violated the Civil Rights Act?
Speaker 2 (00:33):
By our little thing? Spalled the detail? When did that happen? Actually?
For years now? Oh wow? Yeah, I mean pretty good.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
They're supposed to be teaching the Civil Rights Act, but
the Palm Beach County School District has actually been violating
the Civil Rights Act. You a racism, it's a bad thing.
Discrimination it's a bad thing, Isn't it not a good thing?
But it's good that the Palm Beach County School District
(01:03):
has figured this out, at least under a threat of
loss of federal funds. It is unfortunate that they have
not figured out that discrimination is bad on their own accord,
But when money.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Is involved in they so about this?
Speaker 1 (01:20):
My top three takeaways for you today, My top one
is that the Palm Beach County School District did violate
the Civil Rights Tax. And actually, Paul Beach Kiny School
Superintendent Michael Burke last night, he laid it out quite well.
Actually summarize it this way. It's like, hey, golly, g
u Willikers. I was taking a look at things, and hey,
(01:42):
here's how it goes.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
And basically it boils down to if you have any
policy that would provide a preference for any person based
on their race, ethnicity, or national origin, that you could
be found to be, you know, non compliant.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Wow, well that's a new thing, right. I mean, that's
not been law for too long. Maybe that's the problem.
Maybe it has been law for too long. Maybe it's
because it's been law since nineteen sixty four, the Civil
Rights Act that we don't discriminate. It's maybe law that
(02:19):
if it had been more recently, it had been top
of mind. And I bet that's it. It's just been
law for too long. So on Wednesday, the same day,
the Paubach Guy School District voted to into its discriminatory diversity,
Equity and Inclusion program and related policies to come into
(02:39):
compliance with federal laws. Who as not to lose three
hundred million dollars in federal funding. Yeah, the school district
also had two related, regularly scheduled DEI meetings.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
And I wanted to bring this to your attention for
a couple of reasons.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
I mean, there's irony here that they had two regularly
scheduled DEI meetings preceding the big meeting, and to get
rid of all the DEI stuff, but also to kind
of illustrate the bigger point about how pervasive this stuff
had been. So just to clue you in, Wednesday was
the monthly meeting day for the Palm Beach County School
(03:16):
Districts Diversity and Equity ad hoc Subcommittee for Special Projects. Yeah,
and by the way, emphasis on special by the way
for the well you laugh in jel a special back.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
And reviewed some prior meetings and special. You showed this
to me yesterday.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
And I.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Have no idea if any entity in the private sector
try to conduct a meeting like these people did, they
would be fired on the spot. I mean, there's no
wonder these people are working in the Palm Beach County
School Ditrict. They couldn't hold down a real job. I'm sorry,
was that out loud. They're not the only people in government,
by the way, that are that incompetent. But nevertheless, there
is a good chance, good chance you did not know
(04:06):
the Palm Beach County School District had a Diversity in
Equity ad hoc subcommittee for special projects. But uh, yeah
they did, and it was meeting yesterday. And what was
the purpose of said ad hoc DEI subcommittee? To focus
on special projects or issues related to diversity, equity and
inclusion within the school district and addressing diversity and equity
(04:29):
concerns in academic and operational programs. Thank you for that,
But wait, there's more, because that was just the one committee.
The other the big committee, the non ad hoc special people,
but the district's Diversity and Equity committee that meeting was
also yesterday.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
And what was this committee?
Speaker 1 (04:47):
An advisory body within the Palm Beach County School District
established to promote diversity, equity and inclusion in the district's
academic and operational programs. It advised to the school Board
and superintendent on policies and practices to quote ensure equitable
treatment and opportunities for students, staff, and the community, particularly
(05:12):
focusing on underrepresented or marginalized groups, which to me as
an aside, is an interesting thought experiment unto itself, because
what actually is an underrepresented or marginalized group? Who exactly
(05:34):
is it that decides? Now, obviously in this case it
would be this committee they decide. But since we're talking
about it as well, in the context of the school district,
I mean, is the school district underrepresenting certain students? Is
the school district marginalizing certain students? I mean, the answer,
by the way is yes, because that's why had they
had to get rid of these discriminatory policies. But I'm
(05:56):
just even the whole previse of this thing. And by
the way, if we have committees about people that are
underrepresented in this community, I'm represented by Lewis Frankel, that
certainly should qualify anybody who represented committee.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Should I start a committee.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
To eliminate her h and eliminate her her pose? Yeah,
you get somebody that can beat her in the next election,
that'd be great. So I mean selling selling me for
thinking we're not all equal under the law. You know. Uh,
A couple of things that just jump out at you
(06:36):
with all of this. The Dei's initiative ran a lot
deeper than just having to figure your head. Keith Oswald,
who was the chief, the chief of Equity and Wellness,
ran far deeper than that. What this all does, I
think is helps illustrate the extent of the district's DEI
(06:59):
discript nation. My second takeaway today, Gloria Branch, by the way,
when the school board members last night had this to say,
she did vote to end DEI. I just want to be.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Clear, I'm not voting in fear of any of these policies.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
I'm not in fear of any of these policies. I'm
for discrimination. I'm just about the money. Is that what Gloria,
I'm not going to go on a Branch is saying.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Okay, So.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
When the district had to make changes that come into
compliance with federal law, what did that actually mean? Well,
the ten different things that they had to change last
night included, among others, the need to overhaul hiring practices
because they had discriminatory hiring.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Practices in the Palm Beach County School District.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Fun they had to change the district's policy for the
transferring of students between schools because that discriminatory. They had
to change the way the district selected coaches and handled
extra curricular activities.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
Because that was discriminatory.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
They had to change their vendor policy because vendors were
being prioritized based upon DEI Committee recommendations.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
I mean, discriminatory vendor policy, are you key? But the
best the one that just this is.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
It's not just the icing on the cake. It takes
the cake. It's just like, I mean, the whole thing here.
The school district had to revise its auditing policies auditing, Joel,
did you know the numbers? Numbers for the school district?
(08:57):
I presumably financials know less could be discriminatory for some reason, Brian,
the number eight has always seemed racist to me, and
I can't put my finger on it. Is there anything
that like ended in an A or included A? We
just yeah, used to change the number. Yeah, So I
had to do some deeper digging on that one. I'm like, auditing.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
What was it that the DEEI policy on auditing? What
did it say?
Speaker 1 (09:28):
The audit committee was to quote, take into consideration representation
from various racial and ethnic groups? What does that even mean?
So we audit we get to a number for whatever
it is that we're auditing, and then all right, now
(09:50):
we gotta I gonna see what kind of erase these
numbers are.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
I don't know, it's kind of black on the page
of me.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
What do we know? What? Seriously, people, you can't make
this crap up again. All of these people would be
fired in the real world. You, if you like, try
to file your taxes taking into consider consideration representation from
(10:18):
racial and ethnic groups like the irs. You get audited,
they go, no, no, I was considering representation of racial
and ethnic things here, That's all it was.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
I wasn't committing tax fraud. These people.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Just and they're educating our kids. That's the scariest part here. Now,
not only have you been paying for this nonsense in
our schools. And remember, remember, please remember this the next
time the school district tries to get you to vote
for some special school tax because oh, we've got to
(10:58):
have the money. We don't have the money for the
say it's for the children, for the children. They have
money to do this craft. For years, they took your
special school taxes and they did this. But as my
top takeaway suggested, what this actually is about at the
core is that we have been pain literally with the
(11:22):
roof over our heads for our schools to violate the
Civil Rights Act. That is the most fun of all,
isn't it. See the way these school districts DEI departures
commonly being communicated is that they've dropped DEI policies to
avoid losing thorough funding. Now this is true, that's the
(11:45):
impetus behind this been In reality, what this really is
is the federal government, via the US Department of Education,
foreseeing compliance of the Civil Rights Act.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
My third takeaway today, But first.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
A word for Edwin Ferguson, another Palm Beach County School
Board member, this one who voted to keep the DEI
policies in place. I understand that you all may vote
for fear of the government pulling.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
A three hundred, But I say, called their bluff.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
We've seen when you hit the bully, the bully normally
touches touch tail and goes and run. So I dare
the bully to pull out three hundred million dollars.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Pity the fool who I was just thinking. If the bully,
in his words, is Trump, there's mean the irony, the ignorance,
the potential stupidity.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
I just as was stated in a letter from the
US Department of Education on February fourteenth, that is what
brought all this about, led to the Palm Beach County
School Districts DEEI departure yesterday. The letter stated this, in
recent years, American educational institution have discriminated against students on
(13:02):
the basis of race, including white and Asian students, many
of whom come from disadvantaged backgrounds and low income families.
These institutions embrace a pervasive and repugnant race based preferences
and other forms of racial discrimination have emanated throughout every
facet of academia. For example, colleges, universities, and K through
(13:23):
twelve schools have routinely used race as a factor in admissions,
financial aid, hiring, training, other instructional programming. Proponents of these
discriminatory practices have attempted to further justify them, particularly during
the last four years, under the banner of diversity, equity
and inclusion, smuggling racial stereotypes and explicit race conscientiousness into
(13:47):
everyday training, programming and discipline. But under any banner, discrimination
on the basis of race, color, or national origin is
has been and will continue to be illegal. Right illegal,
I mean not only a not good thing to do,
but it actually is a violation of federal law. So this,
(14:08):
in a nutshell sums up with the Palm Beach County
School the district has been doing. They have been violating
the Civil Rights Act. Yes, the rest of your news
media will not report this as what it is. That's
what this is, period, end of story. The Palm Beach
County School District violated the Civil Rights Act while allegedly
teaching it. And because it ran so deep, you see
(14:36):
all these different permutations that now come to the surface,
all these things they had to get rid of because
it was part of everything they did, right down to
the auditing. So yeah, the key here is that the
school board members responsible for this ultimately must be held
(14:57):
accountable for this.
