@dood111 saidYour problem with it is that they want to make the language more inclusive and they’ve concluded (correct or not) that acronyms exclude non-English speaking students. THAT’S your problem with it.
This is some seriously stoopit chit here:

Not that they’ve changed the school name from VAPA to SFUSD Arta Department?
Which has, of course, a bloody acronym in it...

@gratis-pawn saidAn initialism? Really? Never heard of it.
I'm confused 🤔
This guy says acronyms are racist and then he says this...
"It is a very simple step we can take to just be referred to as the SFUSD Arts Department for families to better understand who we are," explained Sam Bass, Director of the SFUSD Arts Department.
So how long before an "initialism" is considered racist 😆
(SFUSD is an initialism for those that don't know.)
I seriously thought it was an acroynm.

@dood111 saidThis is the fault of private charter schools replacing the public school system.
Nonsense.
In 1997 when I took the California Educational Skills test to become a teacher, almost half the people I spoke with were retaking it because they didn't pass the math or writing skills portion. Since they were recent college grads, i was concerned because I was 25 years older than them.
When I got to the test I was offended at how simple it was.
If college grads ...[text shortened]... down our education system so that ...certain groups can graduate.
Sue me if the truth offends you.

@shavixmir saidAcronyms are when they take letters from the words to make a new word.

Like NASA and NATO
Initialism is like FBI and DEA and crap like that.

The guy who thinks acronyms are racist and white privilege doesn't think initialism is?
I disagree with him but he used an initialism and thinks that is ok but that is more confusing than acronyms.
He probably regrets his comments or regrets not including initialisms in his liberal "I hate myself because I am white" rant.

@gratis-pawn saidYes. I know.

Like I said... I was having a brain fart.
I’ve listened to so much conspiracy crap my brain’s melted and shoe laces have become a major challenge.

@dood111 saidI understand they are eliminating the multiplication table in school teaching.

do they utilize acronyms in Mexico, Latin America, and South America?
