It was rewarding and the students seemed to really appreciate it. I felt I was making a real difference for them, helping them and encouraging them. Many of the students came from very disadvantaged circumstances.<br /><br />But the center was very progressive and pushed the gay and trans agenda plus all women must be believed. In recent years this kept cropping up in my discussions with students. It had nothing to do with the mathematics at hand but you could tell it was taking up a lot of space in their heads. <br /><br />Oh, and privilege. White privilege. Being an older white male you increasingly felt like you had a target on your back. <br /><br />The deal breaker was the metoo movement. I knew a couple of girls, or whatever they identified with, were very hostile to men. Maybe they had bad experiences in their past, maybe they hadn't but like the attention and validation that comes from claiming it did.<br /><br />I'm a professional and the personal and career risk was just too high. I had stuck with it for too long as it is and it was time to go.<br /><br />I didn't explain my reasons for leaving because as good intentioned as the people running the program were they were completely blind about consequences to actions. Intentions were the reality for them.<br /><br />In online forums I've found many adults are simply pulling back from contributing to their communities like this and for the same reasons.

I agree that SJW marketing pushes that notion (cf., George Lakoff's "Little Blue Book"), but any fool can see that the policies they advocate make things worse by virtually any measure. <br /><br />This is precisely why SJWs, and leftists in general, measure success by inputs, not outputs. As long as more is being spent on X [schools, teachers, housing, cancer research, climate, energy, mental health, etc...], it's Progress. In fact, that's precisely why a change in the rate of spending from +5% to +3% is labeled as a spending "cut", and zero-based budgeting and legislative sunsets are anathema. The most important variable to the Progressive left is control of the money flow, not the welfare of the "victims".trigger warninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06310637474428322994noreply@blogger.com
