    I wish that for just one time
    You could stand inside my shoes
    And just for that one moment
    I could be you

    Yes, I wish that for just one time
    You could stand inside my shoes
    You’d know what a drag it is
    To see you

    That's hilarious if not dystopian.

    No, it's a common sense move.

    A recent meeting in Bend, OR on the city’s DEI policy devolved into racists insults


    CURETON COOK: One family, a dad there with his two young daughters, showed up to city hall in person for this meeting.



    (SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)



    JOHN HEYLIN: Hi, everybody. My name is John Heylin. My kids got out of art camp today. I wanted them to see that there are people in our town fighting for equality.



    CURETON COOK: But what he and his 8- and 11-year-old kids heard next shocked Heylin. Half a dozen people had signed up to speak online, all using names that police would later decide were likely fake.



    UNIDENTIFIED CALLER #1: My pronouns are fist punch.



    UNIDENTIFIED CALLER #2: DEI stands for didn't earn it.



    UNIDENTIFIED CALLER #3: White people are sick and tired of being attacked, robbed, raped, and murdered.



    CURETON COOK: More voices used antisemitic slurs, Nazi slogans and homophobic insults. One man chanted the N-word 19 times. After that, an attorney for the city, Ian Leitheiser, told the shaken room, there wasn't much the city could do.”

    Kind of fascinating that people would dedicate so much time into saying and doing those racist things. It was that important to them.

    I don't think stat is true. If school admitted by just grades and scores it would be mostly be Asians folks and a few white folks.

    Let's look at the job they have done. We've seen Trump's appointed judge had decisions sent back, overturned, and basically been reprimanded.
