Political fragmentation covers the foundation of the nation. How would you reach civics or a topics class wo political identity being discussed.

How do you teach the Bill of Rights wo a discussion on the 14th civisAmendment and its application against the states?

How can you teach literature, with your limitations?

Other than JTEX who adds nothing to the conversation everyone keep rocking on.

If a parent wants to object to a particular reading that is fine.

One cannot read To Kill a Mocking Bird without a discussion on the systematic racism of the time. That is a great theme of the work.

A valid discussion and exercise is to compare and contrast that racism, and how have we advanced. That would include touching into the courts. There is nothing wrong with that.

The Iliad & The Odyssey has incest angle. Should it not be taught?

Gay stories of life are just as important as stories of straight people.

Gay stories are important to who? My six year old needs to know, " gay stories" Your emphasis why?
Are we grooming ?

Are stories ok, or do they have to be your, " gay stories" ?

Jtex comes and goes here as he pleases and I like him quite a bit. Saeed participates here exclusively to stir the pot and as a funny aside, my Bud Jtex frequently takes the bait. . Seems you take Jtex bait.

Get back to us when you have kids, ( say three maybe,) and you're dealing with bullying, abuse, violence and assault in the Public Education of your children. If you're any kind of parent, Critical Race Theory, Black History Month, Gay Pride and the, " gay stories" ain't gonna be on your menu. Jtex sent his kids and wife off to school everyday to risk being a victim of a mass school shooting. Doc Lane and I let our kids go alone to be run over in the school parking lot, be assaulted by the lunatic classmate, poisoned with tainted food at lunch. ( Yes, we send our kids with a home packed lunch everyday, but who knows what those little hands and mouth get hold of.

To a good parent, "gay stories" don't count.

There are a lot of good gay parents out there.

There are just as important and deserving as you. The attitude you just demonstrated with those words maybe more.

Get back to me when you know a family with gay parents.

You are not superior.

You can get back to me about children when you change your wife’s a 40 year brother’s colostomy bag.

When you hold him so he does not bite his tongue off or injure himself in a seizure.

When his mother had 3 miscarriages before him.

When you watch him drag himself by his arms because he cannot walk.

When you get a court order to keep a nurse from using unnecessary restraints bc people are scared.

When you never hear him speak.

Then you tell me a thing.

Get back to me when you watch your 16 year old brother burn to where they can’t identity him and his mother die of grief.

Then you can tell me a thing or two.

You
Have
No
Kids,
Fuck
Off.

Do you find it odd that a whole,lot of people that don't have kids ALWAYS know the best way to raise them?

I really do.

I don’t look down at people that work in the trades the least. Matter of fact, I greatly admire and respect people like who can perform such incredible acts of construction. I think having a trade and being good at it is the equal to being a doctor, professor or an accountant. Equal to an attorney? Not so much. Haha.

Lane, I disagree that all students should be taught the likes of chemistry. I was pretty good at math, but have I ever used calculus? No. Engineers need certain math programs, but the rest of us, it’s a waste of time. All most of us need in life in the way of mathematics is basic arithmetic and basic algebra. What’s the use of Shakespeare or Dickens when they should spend their time learning how to weld for example.

I like Biden’s statements about a job is more than about a paycheck. It’s about dignity.

I respect farmers, tradesmen if they are good as much as any other career.

Not nearly as odd as "Christians" who claim to leave the judgement to Jesus, then proceed to continually judge their fellow man.

One thing I find odd is that several Christians here enjoy highlighting that Lheym does not have children, yet fail to acknowledge the huge sacrifice that he has made to care for his BIL. That could very well be one of the reasons he is not a father, I do not know.

On the other hand, I felt uncomfortable in watching certain movies where the fuck scene thrown in. It’s natural for kids to ask what the actors are doing when they are doing the old bump and grab. Something’s are just not age appropriate. They have plenty of time to learn about that.

Look at your example, Easter--a PAGAN holiday. You don't read about Easter bunnies and eggs in the Bible, do you? They're fertility symbols.

You do know that the first white settlers in North America were fleeing England because they wanted to make their own religious choices?

Christmas is a Christian holiday celebrating the birth of Christ. We all know this. It’s also a national holiday. The USA is a culturally Christian nation and has been since its inception. It’s irrefutable

Total B.S., thank God the Feds are there to stop "like minded people" from trampling on the rights of the minority.

We do not live in a Democracy but rather a Representative Republic, the founders were well aware of the terrany of the majority and designed our system to protect against it.

Your ideas about religion and Government are downright scary.

Uh oh. Thank you for making my point. Even Americans who aren’t Christian…are celebrating Christian holidays. Why? The USA is culturally Christian. If it makes you feel better, I wish I had made your point.
