Hey remember when Omega Level Star Oprah Winfrey got into a Swiss boutique and, entering a country where she isn't famous, was faced by a black security guard enforcing a racist policy against black clients?

On one hand racism is bad.

On the other hand, Schadenfreude over entitled rich people encountering reality is good.

The reality black people face, regardless of how rich they actually are, should never be "security is going to be on my rear end this entire time because they think I'm going to steal poo poo/want me to feel unwelcome and leave".

I largely agree with the program, but how are they going to implement it?

I mean, they'd need to be President first, so as to be able to nuke Poland, Ireland, Germany and the Benelux out of existence, and only then the treaties could be changed.

The biggest problem is that they ask people to use inclusive writing before keyboards all have the loving right point on them by default. Another case of great planning. I have to jungle with keyboard layouts to manage to get mine. I think "." will beat "⋅" until it's on all keyboards. I bet the text was written by multiple people and some of them don't know how to get "⋅" on their keyboard.

We’re gonna implement it the same way that we’re gonna implement policies that will limit global warming to 1,5°C: we’re probably going to face overwhelming resistance and fail in the end, but it’s either our way or catastrophe so the only moral choice is to be behind the platform and agitate for it as loud as we can!

Is the interpunct really the "official" way of writing the écriture inclusive? That does seem like a completely needless obstacle to its wider adoption. At any rate most people who I've seen using it on the Internet typed regular old full stops, which seem like a much more workable solution.

If you navigate through the official website of the ministry for men/women equality you can end up on the official ecriture inclusive website and download their official manual (after giving away your informations of course). And yes the ⋅ is the official way of writing using "écriture inclusive". They will tell you it's Alt+0183 in Windows, or Alt+Maj+F on mac, can you guess what hardware/os they use?

Isn't the recent Finkelkraut thing a little too on the nose ?

Reminder, on the span of 2 or 3 days:
He went on TV to complain about the arrogance of the GJ who go on TV.
Immediately proceeded to attend a protest IRL, where he gets called a "sale sioniste" (apparently by a single person ?)
Griveaux is now talking about obviously most GJ aren't antisemites but maybe they're infiltrated by extremists ? Just asking questions here.

I'm usually not one to find excuses for antisemitism concern trolling from behind anti-zionism, nor give much credence to babby conspiracies, but this one time it seems like such a happy incident.

I probably shouldn't think about this dumb poo poo at all

e: man was just a common street antisemite doing his thing. Walking back that dumb post.

Actually, even in Winfrey's version, it was merely the shop assistant refusing to show her an expensive handbag. Dunno where the security guard thing comes from. In general Swiss shops will discriminate against you looking poor, not against you looking the wrong color (that kind of racial discrimination exists here but is more of a street thing or when you're trying to get hired. In fact the unlikeliest thing about that blown up version of the incident is the boutique having a black security guard in a front position IMHO).

I checked the news from that time to see if i was wrong and yes, you are right, must have confused her incident with someone else incident filtered through the filter of celebrity medias.

I would sure like to know. I haven't said anything about the French government in my English class, but I'd be lying if I said what I've taught regarding Trump and Brexit, has been nice, though in my defense I do think it's all been fairly objective.

Kassad

It's about time.
I think she's talking about article 1 on this bill:

quote:

L’engagement de la communauté éducative

Article 1er

Après l’article L. 111-3 du code de l’éducation, il est inséré un article L. 111-3-1 ainsi rédigé :

« Art. L. 111-3-1. – Par leur engagement et leur exemplarité, les personnels de la communauté éducative contribuent à l’établissement du lien de confiance qui doit unir les élèves et leur famille au service public de l’éducation. Ce lien implique également le respect des élèves et de leur famille à l’égard de l’institution scolaire et de l’ensemble de ses personnels. »

The big issue is probably with "leur exemplarité". It's extremely vague so could be anything from "don't snort cocaine in front of your students" to "don't ever talk about anything even vaguely political". What form it will take in practice will depend on implementation based on directives issued by the ministry of education but it's guaranteed to be closer to the latter.

Edit: Talking about Trump and Brexit is likely to be safe for now. Until a new government comes along and decides that we've always been at war with Eastasia.

Comment "établir un lien de confiance avec le service public" quand le gouvernement passe son temps à dire que le service public est un archaïsme minable qu'il faut supprimer pour moderniser le pays ? Comment établir "le respect des élèves et leur familles" envers le personnel de l'institution scolaire quand le gouvernement et les médias passent leur temps à dire que les fonctionnaires sont des parasites inutiles et privilégiés qui n'ont jamais fait de "vrai" travail ?
