Automobile deaths shot up with the George Floyd nonesense, especially among black people driving without a liscense.  Speculation is that police stopped pulling over black people for traffic infractions.
In Austin, TX, they call it "De-Policing" and they began doing it well before the "defund the police" nonsense because someone noticed that certain groups were being ticketed disproportionately to their population numbers. (Pointing out that they were offending at a higher rate than other groups was considered irrelevant, distracting, and, of course, racist.)

I may be mis-remembering, but I thought automobile-related deaths were on the decline.

My new 4Runner has that auto braking system - so far it's activated ONCE and that was only AFTER I was already braking for the traffic in front of me. I'm not sure if it added brake force or if the warning just popped up on the dash.

I think the systems are radar based, so I wonder if putting foil over the antenna would disable it if you couldn't do it from the setup menus inside?

I think they are more like modern traction control.  You can adjust the sensitivity, but you can't really turn them off.

Is that a change that I missed too? Maybe what is "off" isn't really off, but I'm pretty sure that I can completely deactivate the traction control on my 2014 4Runner. There's tons of videos about "getting unstuck" procedures where that's the first thing you do. Maybe that has changed in newer models?

Common(?) misconception?  No.  Unless they are Bene Gesserit no one thinks that.

Would the school have had the same reaction if it was a christian girl? I would hope so but I wonder.

Definitely not.  Which is why I said I wasn't sure it was a win.  Mark against the trannys, mark for kowtowing to Islamic social strictures.

Oh, and OAC is screeching about how Columbia and the NYPD will be held responsible if any of the poor lil 'chillruns are harmed during the illegal, vicious, anti-First Amendment Trump-led fascist Nazi assault.

OK, maybe she didn't actually say all of that, but we know that's what she's thinking.

The fact that she keeps calling them "kids" tells us a good deal about what she's thinking.
