  • So they're not ordering new text books (yet) they're just allowing teachers to bring it up, and answer questions.

    Sounds like it will open the door for crackpot teachers, but it's not "being taught" in the school. Definitely a slippery-slope, hopefully not many teachers indulge.

  • I honestly don't know how I feel about this. If my kid (which I do have one) was trying to pass as another gender in school, but not home, I would want to know. It's generally not good for kids to keep big secrets like this from the people looking out for them. That's how they end up getting in to trouble in life.

    At the same time, I'm not the kind of parent that wouldn't support my kid through such an issue. I understand it could be dangerous for some kids to be outted to their parents, but I don't know that we should be governing based on the worst possible outcomes, when keeping the secret could also be dangerous to some.

    It is telling to me that most of the supporters that showed up had no skin in the game. I don't think this specific issue is as cut-and-dry as it appears at first. My mind has certainly changed on it the more I think about it.

  • Do you think it's appropriate to run around with fireworks in the middle of an armed conflict?

    Especially if it's what you idealistic, online types say and it's a "genocide" and an "apartheid state", do you really see any other way this would end?

  • I've always been sympathetic toward Trans people, but cases like this really illustrate how shitty it can be to just exist while Trans in America.

    With most "minorities" there are still so many of them in any given community that it's hard or pointless to single any one out for hate. But with a Trans person you can call them out by name because they rarely have anonymity within a local collective.

    Like, this person was working a cool job, probably proud of themselves, helping kids and enjoying life. Now they're being called out by elected State officials and online random. Being called a pedo and a freak... I can't imagine what that does to a person.

    Now let's find all the quotes from these people railing about "Cancel Culture".

  • They say the opposite (about systemic injustice) when arguing against corporate DEI, affirmative action, police and voting reforms etc...

    It's crazy they try to make the point that white, middle-class America is the most persecuted segment of the poulation.

  • Out of state donations help out a lot of Democrats in red area too. The difference tends to be Republican candidates get mega-donors and corps from out of state, while Dems get lots of small donation from private citizens throughout the country.

    The 2020 Senate races in Georgia, Kentucky and Texas come to mind. They had popular Dem candidates that were getting donations from all over because of the attention their races were getting.
