It was the inciting incident for the "moral majority." The integration of schools really triggered the reactionaries.
Of course, having to teach science instead of their myth really upsets them too.
Also, showing kids different perspectives on history other than the manifest destiny of white men really offends them.
Oh, and treating every student with dignity really lights them up.
Turns out there's a lot of reasons why reactionaries hate education, and they mostly reduce down to the fact that education makes one far less likely to be a backwards antisocial goon.
I'd like to play around with whatever alpha build they made for the original concept of Team Fortress 2.
I love the one that came out (it's probably my most played game of all time), but those first few screenshots before retooling were captivating when we'd already been waiting so long for the release.
In February 2015, Ackerman published a series of articles in The Guardian describing the Homan Square facility as "an off-the-books interrogation compound, rendering Americans unable to be found by family or attorneys while locked inside what lawyers say is the domestic equivalent of a CIA black site." Ackerman asserted that the Homan Square facility was the "scene of secretive work by special police units," where the "basic constitutional rights" of "poor, black and brown" Chicago city residents were violated. Ackerman asserted that "Chicagoans who end up inside do not appear to have a public, searchable record entered into a database indicating where they are, as happens when someone is booked at a precinct. Lawyers and relatives insist there is no way of finding their whereabouts. Those lawyers who have attempted to gain access to Homan Square are most often turned away, even as their clients remain in custody inside."
He needs the attention you're giving him, because he never learned how to get it in a healthy way.
The argument is what he wants because it makes it look like there are two sides to the issue. There aren't two sides. Stop giving him what he wants. He doesn't care about facts or reality; he'll say whatever gets a rise out of you because he's a broken, seething husk of resentment who wants everyone to be as miserable as he is.
He loves wasting your time, because trolls are pathetic losers who have nothing better to do.
Some reactionary asshole I know was saying that there are a lot of people incorrectly repeating that the "wrong people" are getting deported.
Despite the court records being absolutely clear that this is illegal (and we shouldn't be sending people to slave torture camps regardless of what they did).
