It reads like an accusation. “This piece of shit from illiterate drug addict parents became a symbol.” It’s really weird, even for CNN.

Tire Tracks in the Road

Can you prove that it wasn’t Jeesus who lifted your foot from the gas to the brake pedal? Can you? I thought not.

Amazing. If a non-religious person told you they heard voices or thought someone was following them around making sure everything in their life worked out perfectly so they could be the leader of the free world, you would lock them up for a 72-hour psych evaluation. But not if ur Kristian! Praise god!

Yeah, I don’t know if he’s gay. I hadn’t heard that myself until you mentioned it. I’ve seen deeply religious parents create in their kids some really messed up phobias about sex. Or he could have been sexually abused. Something’s up with him.

Yup. You’re that guy. That’s what this entire post is about.

Totes. And remember to add the missing drinks back in when calculating the tip, plus extra because you didn’t pay for those drinks.

Um, he’s clearly the victim here. The car accident, memory loss, “social” drinking. The punched lady should be apologizing to him for his terrible life circumstances that lead him to make a fist and punch her in the face. Have you no compassion?

Now that’s a religion I can get, um, behind!

Willpower or something else. The guy is rich, good looking, and still a virgin at age 28? Something going on there. Sorry, the no sex till marriage thing is cute when you’re 18, but if you’re not engaged by 24 or so and still not fucking, you got issues.

Agreed. But commas work too and sound a little more conversational:

Still crazy after all these years. smh

London-based fashion label KTZ has apologized to an Inuit woman after replicating a shaman robe worn by the woman’s great-grandfather without permission.

These are 3-5 year-olds, according to the letter. This was not a group of middle school aged youngsters, where that type of discussion is likely more relevant and bullying more likely to occur. Children don’t have the biases that adults have—it’s likely a non-issue for any of them. “That person’s different from me?…

That’s not enough time to have dialog about the presentation to children and have parents take part in the decision on whether a non-academic discussion should take place or not. That was the point made in the letter.

Yup, total identity politics going on here on both sides. That’s why I have to put that aside and look at the request to not have this talk without further discussion with parents. It’s an issue way too politicized for them to have thought they could pull this off without the parents’ consent.

I thought gender and sexuality were two different issues? Anyhow, it was the letter that stated there is no science to back these ideas, not me. I just know that it gives me the hebes a little that school admins thought it was something they could do without parents being involved. It’s their job to create a safe…

Maybe you should read the letter before continuing to comment.

It’s a legal argument. You’re having an emotional reaction to it and reading into the intent of the writer. You may be right, I don’t know what’s in their heads, but the question of whether this is something a school should be doing is a fair one.

The letter says the one day notice was a de-facto way of eliminating the choice for parents.
