None of this is true.

JS,Cutting and pasting attacks on the other side is not journalism.
Stan, the only thing true in your post is that “you never heard of her”.

Journalism is about sides. It's about getting at the truth. NPR does it about as good as anyone.

In my experience government, local all the way to federal level, is guided by laws. Appointments to various positions must be done lawfully. Its not some big conspiracy.

That’s says way more about you than NPR.

Like Eric Trump is some big prize.

HR, NPR stands for journalistic integrity. By any measure.

What you have is the repayment of a loan. Yawn.
Stan, just pointing out, when you say it 7 times in one post, it makes you sound weird. A good insult is clever, pithy, and to the point.
BTW - if you want it to be actually true, you need to say it 3 times and click your heels.

Stan, you can say 'Non Patriot' as many times as the laws of physics will allow, it wont make you right.

Whatever, the collapse of the American government is the last thing the public wants. The crazies love it, normal people, not so much

They have been building it for 3 years, knowing full well it wont go anywhere. Why?
No direct evidence produced yet. - Fox News
Republicans don't have the votes in the Senet and likely the house. -Reality
MGT and the MAGAs just want to keep the campaign cash flowing.

Even you can figure it out.

My comment is: If you're running for election, and you lose. For the love of God, stfu.

Hard core MAGA candidates = increase in Democrat wins. Line em up!

yes Gary, if multiple prospectives are presented and taught, you are still allowed to form your own opinions and come to your own conclusions. No question. I support that. Your last post suggests you do not. Please clarify

I chose that example because it illistrates my point. History is complex, how we teach it is important and there is always more than one perspective. Traditionally, in our schools, the white perspective take center stage. in the last 20 years a shift has taken place to include more perspectives in the lessons we teach our kids.

I think its a good thing. Some would disagree.

CV calls me a troll. while it's true I can be snarky from time to time, on this I offer my honest opinion. History matters. How we tell history matters. Our kids are better people if they learn the earth does not revolve around them and people who look like them. Use more than one perspective, even if it makes you uncomfortable. It's how we grow and become better.

Refocus. As I said we, meaning you and me, learned this bit of history in our schools, from our perspective. Can we agree, that the battle and the larger war between the two cultures, would be viewed and taught differently from a native perspective? I think it's fair to say, the Lakota would tell this story or history in a different way than the white man tells it. Agree?
My point is; that perspective, the native perspective, is Important. There is a lot to learn from that perspective. That perspective should be taught inn US history classes along with our perspective. Agree?

Good, so we agree. Only stuff that actually happened. Second fork in the road. Example. General Custer and the Battle at the Little big Horn. We know it well. Or do we? We know that in the battle, the US Army fought Native Americans. We know the outcome, General Custer got his a$$ kicked. It was one of the few battles that Native people won.
As white people living today, we learned this bit of history from our perspective. Even though we lost that one, students learn about it in the context of the US Army, or the white man. There is another side to the story. the native people's perspective. If you want to learn about what really happened on that battle field, you need both perspectives. The Native perspective may make you uncomfortable, but it is, as Stan likes to say, real. Unless you include it, you dont really know what happened. Agree?

I’m going to regret this but here goes. High school US history. Can we agree that the the curriculum can include things that actually happened? That’s the first fork in the road. If we can’t agree on that there is no point is discussing further. Just stuff that happened. Agree?

What lame response.
Of course they should. Everyone one should, but we know that wasn’t the case and in many ways still isn’t. Sure times have changed for the better. How do you suppose that happened? Personally, I feel nonwhites have done very well considering the cards they were dealt. Equality is not pie. We can all have a slice

If nonwhites can live it, you and yours can learn about it.

Actually in many schools, students are taught history. If you are ashamed of your history, like Buzz here, you need to learn about it and regain your dignity. The abortion comment is absolutely not true. God is everywhere including the schools. The rest of this post is nonsense. Buzz seems to angry that others (ie nonwhites) get to tell their story and live their life.

Sadler Mafia. Wow. And it only took a few days.

People who can't face up to American history really have no right to call anyone a snowflake.

Oh I agree, It's amazing how NC government gets away with it. On all levels

Sorry, negligent. And ordered to pay. Just a fact.

Trump was found guilty of it in Civil, not criminal court. If anyone has proof, or can make their case then I care. So far, it's just stuff.
