Also, Freddy-dear left out this fact.

Octopi are really intelligent animals.

Why stop there!

“You are there...you are a rapist. Why do you think the woman you raped deserved it?”

“You are there...you are a gay-basher. Why do you think your breaking the ribs of that gay man was justified?”

Black and brown children- and their parents- are not required to understand and therefore excuse White racism and supremacy. We have done this for far too long. Enough.

Telling children to even hypothetically rationalize “Why are blacks inferior to whites?” is not critical thinking.

I’m not surprised at all. I got my undergrad degree in history at a university in the south. I had lots of classes with people getting their certificates to teach high schoolers. Most were white dudes who wanted to be football coaches but had to teach one academic class. I do remember one girl in particular, though.…

Just stating facts.

Hey, Teach:

As a former teenage boy, let me be as direct as possible without unnecessary detail: You want young men masturbating. At home, in privacy, of course. On the macro level, when they are not, you get very bad results.

I think you do this much more effectively (and more in line with modern norms for teaching and learning about history) simply by presenting a primary source extract that tries to justify the KKK in high-minded terms and then ask the kids if they think the author is lying or not. We did something in I think 6th grade…

Kid should have just answered:

That context is the patriarchy, not porn.

Lol.

*sigh*

It wouldn’t, just like it’s not responsible for all of the ills the state legislators are blaming it for. That’s the point.

I can see it now, classroom full of awkward kids, the teacher puts up some porn on the screen... “Now tell me, class, what can you identify that the people in this video are doing wrong?”

When the cause of happiness, stability, and legitimate growth as a people isn’t directly attributable to jeezus, it’s a crisis.

Really filthy stuff in Utah = “Ebony cursed daughter of Ham gets into Heaven as not a servant”

It’s interesting because by a lot of indicators, society is as healthy as it’s ever been. Historically low rates of violence, low rates of unwanted pregnancy and teen pregnancy. If porn is responsible for all of this, maybe we should be mandating its consumption.
