Michigan judge denies release of teenage girl who was jailed after not doing homework
“I miss my mom. I can control myself. I can be obedient,” the 15-year-old girl known as Grace reportedly said during a hearing Monday.
Community protests after Michigan teen jailed for not doing homework during probation

By Erik OrtizA 15-year-old Black girl who has been incarcerated in Michigan since mid-May after she failed to do her online schoolwork won’t be returning home, a judge decided Monday, in a case that has stoked outrage that it is emblematic of systemic racism and the criminalization of Black children.
Oakland County Judge Mary Ellen Brennan determined that the girl has been benefiting from a residential treatment program at a juvenile detention center, but is not yet ready to be with her mother. Brennan, the presiding judge of the court’s Family Division, scheduled another hearing for September, NBC affiliate WDIV reported.
The girl, who is being identified only by her middle name, Grace, was the subject of a report published last week by ProPublica Illinois, with politicians and community activists expressing outrage over her incarceration.
During a three-hour proceeding, Brennan told Grace that it was in her best interest to stay in the program after all of the progress she had been making.
“Give yourself a chance to follow through and finish something,” Brennan said, according to the Detroit News. “The right thing is for you and your mom to be separated for right now.”
Grace, however, told the judge that she wanted to go home: “I miss my mom. I can control myself. I can be obedient.”
After the hearing, an attorney for the family, Jonathan Biernat, confirmed that Grace had been making strides, but the “fight for her release” is ongoing. He was unavailable for further comment later Monday.
This past school year, Grace was a sophomore at Groves High School in the Birmingham Public Schools, which is 79 percent white, according to school district data.
It’s unconscionable that a Black girl goes to a school that is 79 percent white. As we all know, integration is the worst thing ever. Or was it segregation? In any case, white children are evil and must be dealt with.
Over the past few days, parents and students in suburban Detroit have protested in support of Grace’s release from the Children’s Village in Oakland County, the detention center where she’s been held in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic.
At Monday’s hearing, Brennan stressed that police had responded to incidents between the mother and the daughter three times, and that Grace’s detainment was the result of that, the Detroit News reported.
“She was not detained because she didn’t turn her homework in,” Brennan said. “She was detained because she was a threat to her mother.”

This is a very, very low level bit of trickery. You get this on places like Reddit all the time. Thug gets shot after braining cop with iron bar, but because he was originally stopped for jaywalking it’s now: “black man gets killed for jaywalking”.
It’s all just so lame. If the dishonesty was cleverer I would stand it a lot better.
Anyway, that's Chicago's new top cop for ya--the guy Chicago's black lesbian mayor brought in to solve the black crime problem in Chicago. Definitely the man for the job.Replies: @flyingtiger
Maybe when the dishonesty is cleverer you don't realize it's dishonesty.
It’s like being thrown into a medieval oubliette full of bubonic plague victims. Oh wait, she’s 14, won’t even feel COVID-19. No matter.
I thought there must be more to this bizarre story:
‘Threat to the community’? Detroit student sent to DETENTION CENTER during pandemic for not doing her homework
Illustrated with a stock photo of an angelic 6-year old, but how does “Grace” really look like?
Is she on the COVID-19 Death Row for good reasons now or not?
Who writes these stories? What is the original seed??
There have always been "hyperactive" or rambunctious kids--now they are "ADHD" and we give 'em drugs. I'm not ADHD but i was in trouble with the nuns a bunch when i was in grade school. (Father Felix told my mom it was "the Irish in me"--smart man.) You either can grow up ... or not.
A huge number of blacks are simply not capable of productive life in the modern West. This gal was designed to be hoeing a patch in a village in Africa and in that environment she might--or might not be ok. Here, if she can't grow up to be productive--which i doubt--she should be offered the choice of returning to Africa or being sterilized. Repeat in the millions and life gets better.
But this problem is not limited to blacks. Our elites have discouraged smart white women from having children. We have dysgenic fertility. Plus almost everyone survives with modern medicine. Mutational load is building.
A nation which does not practice--through raw nature or explicit policy--eugenic fertility will necessarily decline. If your population gets worse ... your nation will get worse.Replies: @SunBakedSuburb
Note the use of the word “after” in the headline.
As if chronology equates with causation:
“Man dies suddenly amid Coronavirus pandemic.” (He was hit by a bus).
Staggering dishonesty.

And journalists wonder why people don't trust them. It's because they are liars.Replies: @AnotherDad, @Buffalo Joe
So the headline is technically correct - which as the internet will tell you, is the best kind of correct.
There's a lot of advertising money to be had, and we want it. We need attention grabbing headlines. Stuff like man bites dog, or even better, the Martians have just landed on Main Street.

It's not a good sign when Tiny Duck starts to sound normal.
Collective insanity is definitely upon us.
The schools are medium security, juvenile halls; they look like the county jail (minus the orange jumpsuits).
Non-convicted kids are sentenced to ten consecutive, 180-day terms, with furloughs on nights and weekends (trial by legislature).
In the computer/internet age there is no reason that we must continue with this Fordist model--drag 30 kids a classroom for assembly line "learning"--of education. There are some subjects--math--where there is a canon and it's pretty tractable from the nature of wrong answers to determine what a student isn't getting. And it's also a subject where the learning pace/capability varies greatly. Obvious that the kids just roll with computerized instruction.
Voucher the whole thing off let a 1000 educational approaches bloom and let parents figure out which approach is best for their kid. Some competency tests to provide metrics.
Huge wins:
-- kids are happier and can get better more well rounded education with more active "hands on" activity that boys in particular need
-- deconstructs a huge public sector bureaucracy
-- can kill off the leftist indoctrination
-- can be cheaper
and free bonus
-- solves the race issue ... black students are no longer oppressed by systemic racism, they are oppressed by whatever school/schooling program their parents choseReplies: @vhrm, @Rosie, @njguy73
I did a rotation on a child mental-health unit in school and knew what was up as soon as I saw “I can control myself.”
I can’t bring myself to read anything in which the word black is unironically capitalized. I just can’t.
It looks like Steve Sailer has been disappeared from Google. If I Google “isteve unz”, I get “About 53,300 results”.
But there are only four pages of results presented, less than 1/1000 of the results. And none of them are the Unz blog. That seems brand new.
Meanwhile, on Bing.com, “isteve unz” gives the blog as the first result.

The hiking teams are about 90 percent white and the visitors to national parks are about 85 percent white. Also, most of those dudes tend to be in their 20s and 30s. You’ll find very few dudes over 40 and none over 50. And many are tall. All are men. And all are able bodied, none are handicapped. Therefore, those organizations are racist, sexist, ageist, ableist and heightist.
Those organizations don’t reflect a diverse America. They also take economic opportunities away from those that aren’t tall and young and white. I mean, why should tall, young white men only get to enjoy these activities?
These activities need more diversity. They should have more Asians(my people) and Mexicans, they need more 50+ year olds, they need some women, they need some non binary something, they need some people in wheelchairs and disabled people. The hiking and camping needs to reflect a diverse America.
Even if the story properly led with the threatening incidents, it would still hilariously read like a leftist Mad Libs. You’ve got outraged “community activists,” one of those annoying “ProPublica” groups, a school that’s either too white or too black and of course ritual nods to “systemic racism and criminalization of Black children” right in the very first graf.
In other news news, the alleged killer of the female judge’s son has been upgraded from merely a “men’s rights” advocate to a raging “Anti-Feminist!”

All of BLM is based on this low level trickery but millions of people fall for it anyway. You would expect blacks to be fooled (or to go along with it even if they are not really fooled – deep down blacks know better than anyone how blacks really behave but they prefer if blacks are not punished for their bad behavior for tribal reasons) but what is white people’s excuse? Why are millions of young whites (esp. but not only females) falling for these ridiculous one-sided presentations?
-Poor analytic skills
-Addiction to the outrage rush (evil white racists are at it again!)
-Trained since preschool not to think badthoughts about minorities, esp. blacks
-Maybe little exposure to blacks who aren’t in the talented tenth?Regarding the last item, my personal views on race evolved a bit when I was exposed to some black coworkers who liked to blame racism when someone complained about their work, for example. Some of this seemed to be genuine paranoia about white people, and some was transparently calculated to leverage white guilt.
There’s a silver lining to everything. She’s lucky that she’s in Oakland county where authorities care about children doing their homework. She’s lucky to go going to an Oakland county public school. In Warren county nobody would give a damn.

I used to be something Libertarian in my mid 1920s. Not anymore. When the private companies hate us and want to defame, incarcerate or replace us - the last thing I want is to have these bad private people, private companies controlling everything like the media, internet, banking.
What if our free interstate hi ways are privatized to the likes of Mark Zuckerberg, CNN's Jeff Zucker, Google and Microsoft. These now private roads can have guards stopping our cars from entry ramps, asking about some twitter post we might have made against BLM, Antifa Riots - and then it's:
"This is a private road, we decide which customers we want to serve"
And then Rand Paul and Ron Paul can be called in to say that this is all well and good and if we don't like it we can build our own private road system.

I see headlines like that a lot. “Amid” has become the news copy writers best friend during the Corona pandemic.
And journalists wonder why people don’t trust them. It’s because they are liars.
In other ‘juvenile’ crime news two men escaped from the Chesterfield,Va. juvenile facility. One is an 18 year old armed robber the other a 20 year old convicted of a double homicide. I have no idea why they were in a juvenile detention facility and there is a good chance the judge who put them there doesn’t either. I do know what color they are which may have been a reason for the leniency.

Polls show Americans support “Black Lives Matter” – disagree with everything they espouse.

The new top cop in Chicago, David Brown, still maintains that Michael Brown was given the death penalty in Ferguson for jaywalking. It’s easy to understand where David Brown is coming from–his own son was actually killed by cops for merely for killing a cop and trying to kill many more cops. Such an honorable death deserved a police escort for his funeral, and that’s exactly what Chicago’s top cop gave his son.

Sigh, years ago in Akron, Ohio a black mother of two girls was charged with falsifing records so her daughters could attend school in an adjacent school district where they did not reside. It became the stink du jour because the story was twisted to make it seem the mother just wanted her daughters in a better school. True was she didn’t have to watch them after school because they could walk to their granparents house. Oprah was in with both feet. All the other parents who were found to be out of district and in every case white, settled up with the district to avoid an arrest. And as Paul Harvey use to say,”And now you know the rest of the story.” Worth researching on line facinating SJW fawning and moaning and pandering. Just remembered this part of the story…when the school district sent her letters, she wrote on the envelopes..”In the service, deployed overseas.”

Correct. That’s the key. One of the main dilemmas for the news media is (and always has been) how to lie without actually lying. One of the most useful tools (weapons) for doing this is the headline, where in this case, the word “after” was used instead of “for” or “due to” but implies the same causality in many readers’ minds.
Headlines, out of necessity, provide minimal information, and readers’ brains naturally fill in the blanks. It’s kind of an evolutionary thing, and journalists capitalize on it. Once an implicit (bogus) causality has been established in the headline, journalists can leave important information undisclosed until paragraph 10, so they haven’t technically lied, but they’ve intentionally misled.

The Gulag shadowban on Steve and “immigration” combined with Steve has interesting qualities.
None of the following searches returns any iSteve links: “Steve Sailer isteve”, “isteve unz”, “steve sailer unz”, “steve sailer immigration”, “isteve immigration”, “steve sailer isteve immigration”, “steve sailer unz immigration”. (You do get some links to other sites which mention Steve or host one of Steve’s comments.)
However, the top four results from searching “steve sailer whiskey immigration” are links to iSteve posts at unz.com. Searching “whiskey unz immigration” yields an even more responsive first page entirely of links into iSteve. Searching “whiskey isteve immigration” gets you some booze-related links, a couple of links to people like HBDchick mentioning iSteve and Whiskey, and two actual unz/iSteve links.
That is, adding the handle of the infamous commenter “Whiskey” gets you at least partly past the shadowban, and leaving out iSteve and/or Steve Sailer actually improves your results.
Searching just for “unz immigration” (no mention of Steve/iSteve) produces a pageful of links to Ron’s articles at unz.com (so Google isn’t banning Ron in the same way as Steve).
FWIW, the “site:unz.com” search qualifier still works– if you specify that you want results from unz.com relating to Steve or immigration then you do get them (like “site:unz.com isteve” which returns all iSteve links on the first page).
Gulag must have put some kind of negative weighting onto iSteve, Steve Sailer, “immigration” in the context of iSteve…
A comment should be more than just a cut and paste from a NYT Op-Ed, my friend.
In contemporary “mainstream” journalism, the word “after” carries a lot of water.
Technically, legally, it means “subsequent in time.” But conversationally it carries the connotation of “because.” Fake News reporters and editors take advantage of this denotation / connotation gap to imply the latter while maintaining plausible deniability that all they meant was the former. That’s what’s going on here.
Here’s an extreme example to show how transparently stupid this rhetorical trick is: “After Adolf Hitler ordered the deaths of millions of Jews, Richard Nixon felt compelled to have his political campaign play dirty tricks on his opponents.”
See how that works? Watergate happened chronologically after World War II, but by selecting these specific facts out of all the millions of facts that exist in this world, and by linking them with “after,” one can suggest a spurious causal connection without any proof.
The newspaper headline that Steve quotes here uses the same two-bit trick, and once you are aware of how it works you see it used constantly in the Fake News Media Complex.

Plain “unz review” search works for me too, and from all this this googling, and if wikipedia is to be believed, one learns that Steve is 3 months to the day older than Ron.

Curiouser and curiouser..
I just googled Unz review and got … wait for it … the Unz Review as number one hit with Sailer’s blog listed.
My searches (screen shots saved for posterity) are on an iPhone using Brave browser.
Odd.
The front page of the school district’s website displays the hard-to-avoid text of its recently adopted resolution related to the matter at-hand.
It reaffirms the district’s belief that schools are a vital part of a much larger world and have a very substantial role in eradicating racism for all people of color ...
Public education was instituted, or so it was claimed, in order to provide (what we now know as) basic skills to desperately poor kids; the “free” (zero-cost) part meant ‘free men’, btw.
The schools long ago renounced their supposed mission of teaching the 3Rs, and replaced it with left-wing indoctrination and babysitting.
Indeed. One of their contributors (not sure if he is involved with that particular page) comments here sometimes.

The Xi virus blowout has exposed what thoughtful people have understood for a while:
In the computer/internet age there is no reason that we must continue with this Fordist model–drag 30 kids a classroom for assembly line “learning”–of education. There are some subjects–math–where there is a canon and it’s pretty tractable from the nature of wrong answers to determine what a student isn’t getting. And it’s also a subject where the learning pace/capability varies greatly. Obvious that the kids just roll with computerized instruction.
Voucher the whole thing off let a 1000 educational approaches bloom and let parents figure out which approach is best for their kid. Some competency tests to provide metrics.
Huge wins:
— kids are happier and can get better more well rounded education with more active “hands on” activity that boys in particular need
— deconstructs a huge public sector bureaucracy
— can kill off the leftist indoctrination
— can be cheaper
and free bonus
— solves the race issue … black students are no longer oppressed by systemic racism, they are oppressed by whatever school/schooling program their parents chose
- performance gaps
- claims of racism and Injustice
And boys do not particularly need "hands-on activities." What they may need is about another 6 months to a year's time before they are ready to be students. There is really no need to rush.

What if our free interstate hi ways are privatized to the likes of Mark Zuckerberg, CNN’s Jeff Zucker, Google and Microsoft. These now private roads can have guards stopping our cars from entry ramps, asking about some twitter post we might have made against BLM, Antifa Riots – and then it’s:
“This is a private road, we decide which customers we want to serve”
And then Rand Paul and Ron Paul can be called in to say that this is all well and good and if we don’t like it we can build our own private road system.

The root of this is dysgenic fertility.
There have always been “hyperactive” or rambunctious kids–now they are “ADHD” and we give ’em drugs. I’m not ADHD but i was in trouble with the nuns a bunch when i was in grade school. (Father Felix told my mom it was “the Irish in me”–smart man.) You either can grow up … or not.
A huge number of blacks are simply not capable of productive life in the modern West. This gal was designed to be hoeing a patch in a village in Africa and in that environment she might–or might not be ok. Here, if she can’t grow up to be productive–which i doubt–she should be offered the choice of returning to Africa or being sterilized. Repeat in the millions and life gets better.
But this problem is not limited to blacks. Our elites have discouraged smart white women from having children. We have dysgenic fertility. Plus almost everyone survives with modern medicine. Mutational load is building.
A nation which does not practice–through raw nature or explicit policy–eugenic fertility will necessarily decline. If your population gets worse … your nation will get worse.
Our elites have encouraged smart white women to become dog-moms.
Years of brainwashing by the US’ establishment media and education system.
That is bizarre. And troubling. Well, I would be in the gulag anyway.
This isn’t even funny. This is really what it is. These industrial age relics need to be dismantled. It’s not up to the taxpayer to fund childcare, which is the only reason these places exist at this point. Just look at the return to school debate. It has very little to do with learning. Parents want the childcare, teachers want a job. The fact that parents love their kids or teachers love their jobs doesn’t change the basic reality.

You forgot to put LOL at the end.
Technically, legally, it means "subsequent in time." But conversationally it carries the connotation of "because." Fake News reporters and editors take advantage of this denotation / connotation gap to imply the latter while maintaining plausible deniability that all they meant was the former. That's what's going on here.
Here's an extreme example to show how transparently stupid this rhetorical trick is: "After Adolf Hitler ordered the deaths of millions of Jews, Richard Nixon felt compelled to have his political campaign play dirty tricks on his opponents."
See how that works? Watergate happened chronologically after World War II, but by selecting these specific facts out of all the millions of facts that exist in this world, and by linking them with "after," one can suggest a spurious causal connection without any proof.

Even with all the context (and i read the propublica piece at week), the proximate cause of her incarceration was that she doesn’t do any homework which violated her probation.
The girl has primarily been a danger to her mother. And the judge had put the girl at home with said mother for weeks and no further violence happened. The judge’s argument that the girl is NOW a danger to the community is pretty dumb.
The most accurate short “headline”, imo, is “Girl goes to juvie for violating probation”. Like with all probation/parole violations the nature of the violation is not that important and it doesn’t have to be linked to the original crime.
It sounds like the time in juvie has actually done her some good at least.

If this article is to be believed:
https://nationalinterest.org/blog/buzz/2025-us-interest-payments-national-debt-will-pass-defense-budget-60987
The interest payments on America's national debt will exceed the defence budget by 2025.
Does anyone know offhand what year the national debt will become mathematically impossible to service? Surely it cannot be long after 2025.
I ask because American politicians still seem to be flinging money about as if maths does not exist.Replies: @Stan d Mute
Or …
Has it occurred to you to wonder if they are in fact “flinging money about as if” it simply doesn’t make any difference any longer? Do you have the impression that despite the cartoonishly leviathan government, there is nobody to tell the politicians the dire truth? If you know that it’s all going to blow up soon anyway, then why not just grab everything you can today? Tomorrow will sort itself out. Won’t it?
Just talked to a friend whose teenage son did the final quarter of the last school year at home on zoom. She said that though he misses his friends (and this is solely due to quarantining), he’s happier than he’s been in years simply because he can now finally get enough sleep. No more early morning classes and no more late evening soccer practices.
Public high school. Blech, as the old Mad Magazines would say.
“Talmudvision”, what a brilliant neologism! I mean, what could be more exemplary of Talmudic mores and sensibilities than television, especially such offerings as the ones you named.
For those too ignorant not to have realized, I was being sarcastic. In reality, few Jews of the type who are prominent in television are likely to even have much familiarity with the Talmud, much less abide-by or even consider authoritative its teachings. The same could be said, by and large, with regard to the officious Jews who promote such scourges as mass immigration; interventionist foreign policy; anti-white hostility; feminism; and the normalization (and now celebration) of deviant and depraved sexual behavior. All of these are actually at odds with, if not explicitly condemned by Judaism (as understood from any traditionalist perspective). (Grandiose, brazen, ignorant and heretical pronouncements to the contrary notwithstanding.)
One of the thing that shocks me about unz anti-Semites is how musty their anti-Semitism is - the stuff that they imagine - the conspiracies, the alleged control of the financial system, even the Blood Libel could have been taken straight from Henry Ford in 1920 or some Czarist officer in 1820. At least the Leftist anti-Semites who attack Israel have a fresh approach to anti-Semitism - I will give them that.

I happen to disagree with HSMNY, because smart women often have student loans that prevent them from leaving the workforce to have kids and/or limit how much they can spend on childcare, but I see no reason to suppose she is not who she says she is.
That's not smart. That's dumb. Read Lori Alexander.Replies: @Rosie, @Jesse
Maybe we're just not on the same page in defining "smart".
We know Google has lots of very woke employees . . . what are the chances someone did their own censorship experiment without authorization? Is that possible?
I think that’s indeed the most likely scenario.
And the talmudvision lives to destroy women’s minds with poisonous crap like Sex and the City and Girls.
So , “Talmud” to you is kind of similar to “White privilege”. The less evident it is, the more pernicious & far-reaching its effects.

"Unz Review" gets the rational wiki link and no link to the page.
"Vdare" just gets the vdare website
"Amren" just gets Amren website
"Steve Sailer" gets his americanconservative website but won't link to his unz site.
--
On yandex:
"Unz Review" is the first link. Rationalwiki is in the middle of the page.
Vdare, Amren, and Steve Sailer give what you'd expect.

So maybe Unz Review has some enemies in the chinese tech ecosystem, but not enough for them to block the site? Maybe the rationalwiki link actually has some technical reason to be linked highly since it is fairly high on both Baidu and Yandex?
Any idea what content on Unz Review might have pissed off Baidu people?Replies: @botazefa
Using google logged out, “Unz Review” search returns the unz.com website as the first hit.
That’s for me, anyway.
This is a bit more to the point:

High IQ people sometimes do naive and foolish things. Sorry.
The Talmud is a traditional target of anti-Semites for a number of reasons. They can’t very well reject Jewish scriptures (the way anti-Muslims reject the Koran) because they are also part of the Christian canon. But the Talmud is not a holy book of the Christians so it is fair game. 2nd if you search this vast compendium you can cherry pick a few questionable passages where the Talmud says not nice things about Christians or Jesus, etc. Lastly, the fact that the Talmud is esoteric (it is well understood by few Jews let alone Christians) makes it a target – your imagination can write whatever it wants into it.

Nah. It’s like the Tradwife social media accounts. It’s pure larping, by gay men at best or active autogynephiles at worst.

Oh, god. You’re adorable. Especially since Alexander’s marriage is clearly a hellhole, and her husband’s only refraining from divorce because it would be too expensive.
Yes. Yes, I am.

Golly, those things must be serious. I'm totally sure you can back up your stories with facts, that you're not just making stuff up because jealousy and envy. Totally sure!
NB: Always fun to see how certain women react to men's preference for a debt-free virgin with no tattoos. It's like when a movie vampire sees a cross!

As if chronology equates with causation:

Staggering dishonesty.

Yep. But when the boss asks you for a story, you have to come up with something. The more sensational the better. If you want to get ahead in the world of reporting. Besides, what is the truth anyway. It’s whatever the press of the day says it is.
There’s a lot of advertising money to be had, and we want it. We need attention grabbing headlines. Stuff like man bites dog, or even better, the Martians have just landed on Main Street.
You know why we can’t have nice things like the Edison Institute (fully funded by Ford BTW - no tax dollars)?

Boo hoo for you and all the rest of the
Yeah. A smart woman avoids student loans and entering the so-called workforce in the first place. I got a free computer degree, because I’m… wait for it… smart! And did web design from home. Seven kids later… Definitely a woman, but I do get accused of thinking like a man at times. Facts. Logic. Quelle horreur!
I did both of those things, and it’s a good thing, because had I not, I never would have met Mr. Rosie.
Good for you both.

Smart women, like smart men, don’t worry about student loans. They’re on scholarship.
