i wonder if conservatives know that they're lying when they make claims about DEI like this.

TRVTH NVKE thank you joey
Garcia, one of only two Democrats in the Senate, warned his colleagues about the potential consequences of ending diversity, equity and inclusion policies and initiatives, which he said are actually positive and known to help ensure everyone — no matter their background — is offered services and support to help them succeed. “I do not think that racism is over. I do not think that sexism is a thing of the past,” Garcia said. “I think these are things that we constantly need to remind ourselves, and there is still work to do. I think this puts us a step back.”

Del. Tom Willis, R-Berkeley, said the bill being passed signifies “freedom from tyranny in the classroom.” The lawyer alleged that “woke teachers” are responsible for that “tyranny” and urged people to report such teachers and anyone else who doesn’t follow the bill — which still has a way to go before becoming state law — to a website he created Wednesday, http://reportwoketeachers.com.

i guess there's something fundamental that separates our psyches, because i can not even imagine how someone could think racism isnt a problem
Sen. Scott Fuller, R-Wayne, said he was “thankful to God” that diversity, equity and inclusion policies are on the path of ending in West Virginia. He said such policies were not needed anymore. “I don’t know where this came from, this idea that we are a racist country, that we don’t give equality to women or to different religions or whatever the case may be,” Fuller said. “Does [racism] exist? I’m sure it does. This is not a perfect world, we don’t live in a perfect society, but to the point that it’s a problem? I really don’t believe it.” In West Virginia and across the United States, wide disparities continue to exist that mean some people — due to their race, gender and identity, among other traits — are more statistically likely to succeed than others.

Senate wields power over WV cities with bill overturning local anti-discrimination ordinances The measure would overturn dozens of local ordinances offering protections to LGBTQ+ individuals and veterans By: Amelia Ferrell Knisely - March 24, 2025 7:51 pm Sen. Tom Takubo, R-Kanawha, represents Charleston and South Charleston, both of which have passed anti-discrimination ordinances. He voted against the measure. “The easiest vote I will ever make in the Senate is to allow the voters to decide,” he said. The local voters have voted for their local city councils to make those decisions for themselves.”

Del. Chris Phillips, R-Babour, told lawmakers during bill debate, “I’ve been told the university supports this.” WVU Communications Director April Kaull told West Virginia Watch that the university does not have an official position on the legislation.

this is really funny
Missed Votes From Jan 2025 to Mar 2025, Justice missed 10 of 133 roll call votes, which is 7.5%. This is much worse than the median of 2.6% among the lifetime records of senators currently serving. The chart below reports missed votes over time. We don’t track why legislators miss votes, but it’s often due to medical absences, major life events, and running for higher office. Time Period Votes Eligible Missed Votes Percent Percentile 2025 Jan-Mar 133 10 7.5% 94

I didn't watch Morrisey's inaugural address out of anger, so this is actually the first time I'm hearing about this.
He added that West Virginia will have its own “version of DOGE,” the federal Department of Government Efficiency headed up by Trump’s allies, Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy. Morrisey has said he plans to audit state agencies to cut government waste.
