I believe in educating on principle not data

But don’t you also believe in using data to make education decisions or to measure impact?

No

You won’t get grants if you don’t have evidence that your initiative does what it purports (data). Grants enable entities like @codeorg to offer free curriculum and PD.

#csforallnyc has multiple grants. We don't pretend to use data to tell a complex story, instead we use it to paint a fuller picture. You may want to read Code's annual report... Tech companies not grants. Furthermore money should not drive our decision making

Just pointing out data is important for accountability since you monosyllabically asserted it wasn’t.

Because the point I was making, that data is obfuscating that equity in CS depends on preparing kids of color and girls to overcome and change the realities of racism and sexism, was being obfuscated by....data. it's frustrating

I agree money should not drive curriculum decisions. But when you don’t believe in using data to make decisions or to measure impact, and you worry that data obfuscates reality, who is the arbiter of reality?
