None of that is true. BtW, I call it elective surgery for adults.

And why ideologies of hate never hold up. Eventually you run out of people to hate and you turn on your own. We all remember McCarthyism.

The trick is to recognize, no one person has all the answers. The trick is not to dehumanize your political opponents. The trick is to govern without losing your humanity. The trick is to accept the truth even when you don't benefit. Some wonder why Trump is hated by so many. And yet, it's clear as day.

The age old reason that the free world fights far right conservative thinking is because it's not founded in reality. Sure it takes hold from time to time but the fatal flaw of the very far right is hate. Its exhausting. Eventually good people get tired of it and just want to live their lives.

Nobody likes unreasonable PDA. I think pride parades are just a reaction to awful treatment some seem to think is their right to inflict on others. My guess. If there was less hate in the world there would be no need for a pride parade.

Fighting over pronouns. Now there is a good use of your time!

Pro-truth is often unpopular. And although Columbus was a great explorer, he didn't discover America.

My point Stan is this. Hillsdale teaches a whitewashed version of American history. From a single perspective. Ignoring other perspectives. Now if you want to pay good money to absorb that fairly tale by all means attend that school and get your degree.
However, a public school is indeed public. Non white kids have a right to learn their history. All students should be exposed to different perspectives. Saying this doesn't make me a communist, it makes my a grown up.

Congress passed the Clean Air Act. Pretty sure a republican was supportive. Tricky Dick as I recall.

Stan, the curriculum is fine if you’re a white nationalist. In a public school I would hope the parents would say no to it.

Sorry but the truth isn't the fairytale some of us, including me, we taught back in school. Students should definitely get more than one perspective.

Try as we might, We can absolve the sins of our fathers, by ignoring our own.

Not everyone who disagrees with you is a Marxist, but I get why you say that.

It’s about monuments erected during Jim Crow to celebrate a way of life that no longer exists and to terrorize certain segments of the population. Decorate your private property anyway you want, but Big Bob supports monument removal from the public square. I see it as another nail in Mr Crows coffin. A coffin that should have Ben buried long ago.

As I said JS, for the sake of argument let's assume you are 100% right about the civil war (you're not), please explain 150 years of Jim Crow. Mr. Crow rose from the ashes of that conflict and we both benefited from that system and used it to systematically disenfranchise the newly freed slaves. In some ways we still do. Mansplain it to us.
