No more Civil Rights education, no more Fredrick Douglass, Sally Hemmings, no more Women’s Suffrage, no more Native Americans, and no more Labor movement. Among many other topics.

This, by the way, is what’s in the Texas anti-CRT bill that Texan Democrats are fighting against.  The thread is long, but VERY informative.  Texan kids are going to be noticeably ignorant on American history if this goes through.

According to the complaint, the 13-year-old girl, who is Black, was placed on an in-school suspension at Cleveland Middle School in December 2019 for having the purple highlights in her hair, on the grounds that the hair coloring violated school policy. However, the suit says, other students with similar hair…

Ha! “Taxation without Representation” is the slogan on the license plates of Washington DC, where residents are taxed just as much as people in states, where residents can affect how they’re taxed via their senators and representatives but have no voting representation in either the Senate or the House of…

That’s the real danger with Texas removing these lessons - because everyone else in the US sources their curricula from Texas’, the Texas GOP isn’t just whitewashing the horrors of the past in Texas, but nationwide.

I do think he feels entitled and some of us see being individually successful as a banner of progress for us all. That was the old paradigm till we learned that’s not it at all. A few of us in symbolic positions is NOT a victory for the masses. And I join you in celebrating this generation. We each come with our…

This is the literal definition of “pandering”. 

February = Focus on Washington (not so much on Lincoln)

Hahahahahahaha. Yeah, no. Right wingers hate stem

You’re right. He thought it would “unite Americans”. I have respect for what those before us endured  that we couldn’t fathom. However, Rep. Clyburn was born in 1940 and has had to navigate S. Carolinian mess for decades, which may have affected how he views what looks like progress. He’s also enjoyed some of the…

So going to a Texas school will essentially be like having a learning disability. Imagine these kids trying to go to an out-of-state college, just to be rejected or forced to take remedial classes because their education lacked such basic topics as the Civil Rights Movement, women’s suffrage, and the entirety of Native…

“Parents want their kids to learn to think critically, by unquestioningly accepting whatever fairy story best fits the prevailing white supremacist, state capitalist, exceptionalist narrative.”

“America was founded when Jesus blessed the new land and all the people came together in a spirit of peace and equality. Everyone could vote, and newcomers were welcomed with open arms. Everything was great and Jesus smiled. Anyone who says differently is a whiner, a communist, or a terrorist who hates America and…

All of what you said.

What they are doing is insulting.

I too, find this to be some insulting, symbolism bullshit. They don’t give a fuck if Black people die by the hands of police, was is even more insane is that they think Black people are stupid enough to buy into their fake shit, The vast majority of people of all races except for maybe white people can see through…

I don’t think this is a white family.
