The opposite, the OP is alleging that the "woke mob" is always blaming bad/unsuccessful movies on various prejudices but this time there is nothing to pin it on except the movie being bad.

He is, of course, a comicsgater so he presumably screams at every comics movie that comes out for being too woke because it has a black or a girl.

Not long after my family moved to L.A. we went to the supermarket late in the evening. It was mostly empty. We were in the frozen food aisle when we spotted Leslie Nielsen and were pretty excited as he was the first famous person we'd encountered. He slowly walked past, checking out the display case and as you would now expect he used that fart box. We were all shocked, and it wasn't until years later we found out about his favorite gag.

This was an astonishing story, and the lack of language skills here, I don't think, is an accident. These communities are insanely insular and isolationist and they don't want to give their kids the tools they need to find success outside of the community. In fact, the NYT published the story fully in Hebrew because they wanted to make sure the people that live in these communities could read it. They clearly don't lack the resources, they are turning out very excellent Talmudic scholars and the non-English curriculum sounds extremely rigorous, so this is purely a choice by the community.

It strikes me how similar fundamentalist sects are across the Abrahamic religion, whether Haredi Jews or Wahabist Muslims or FLDS or various evangelical Christian denominations, while the individual details, names and deities are different, socially and morally they are all teaching the same Iron Age hardline ethos that relies on literal readings of thousand year old religious texts.

Have you met a lot of kids lately? Quite a few are excellent but the average literacy rates across the board--scientific, financial, media, political, historical, technological, social-- seem to have dropped and it seems to be the result of decades of bad education policies. The kids themselves aren't dumber, but on average they're being taught less/worse in a system that is just fine passing them through at "barely good enough" and the demands placed on them/their ignorance keeps a lot of them from closing the gap independently. It's really quite sad to see at times, especially when coupled with announcements for more creepy Charter Schools.

My kid goes to a private school and in 2nd grade has already had 2 years of Spanish and ASL, is learning division, and can read and write fluently. One of her classmates just left to go into one of the public schools in the city and his class is just starting on ABCs. The disparity is insane.

This has been in the news a bit lately. I forget if it came up ITT but it turns out that New York did a whoopsie doodle and spent two decades trying to impart literacy via osmosis instead of actually teaching kids to read
