Pretty much all bill names are a joke. More specifically, they are designed so their political opponents can later say, “Senator so-and-so voted AGAINST the God save America and Protect Puppies from being Kicked Bill! Who could do such a thing!?”

I have to hand it to these goons: by attempting to criminalize the teaching of American history, I think they are making studying history seem cool & dangerous & relevant to young people, which it is extremely difficult to do

How on earth can these laws be constitutional? Banning “divisive” concepts is laughably subjective. I guess it’s the same as obscenity, you know it when you see it?

I see no reason we can’t use these laws against them. I think that teaching that Columbus discovered America to be divisive. Any discussion of the Civil War that claims the Confederacy had decent people? Divisive. The Twilight Series? Divisive. Ban it. The Left Behind series? Divisive. Ban it.

This decision is coming from the ‘fuck your feelings’ crowd. A bunch of paper-skinned crybabies.

Gotta love the blatant hypocrisy of claiming to defend free speech while banning vaguely defined topics.

I had that feeling the other day when Sen. Marsha Blackburn (Q-TN) tweeted this after the hearings for Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson:

In a statement, Gov. Noem said, “No student or teacher should have to endorse Critical Race Theory in order to attend, graduate from, or teach at our public universities. College should remain a place where freedom of thought and expression are encouraged, not stifled by political agendas.”

It’s called projection, they want to hide the rape and incest because they are doing the rape and incest.

I once read a book about bankruptcy and have been broke ever since... the threat is ReAl!

This feels like projection...  since when do Republicans respect learning?

He says that in no way he meant to imply Black children lack a ”respect for learning.”

Because banning books that deal with incest and rape is exactly the same thing as protecting kids from incest and rape.

Someone on that schoolboard has no idea how anything works.

our public safety and law enforcement system is designed to select and brutalize “bad people” (and tends to know ‘em when they see ‘em

I live at the border. What I find so amazing is the number of 1st and 2nd generation of latinos in the RGV are against these people coming to the US. I laugh in their faces as a reminder that your parents and grandparents crossed the same fucking border for you to be born here.

I feel like the biggest news story here is being ignored...

There’s still a functioning mall somewhere? And kids go there?!

She took a real bite outta crime! Old bitch foiled the caper of the century, the Case of the $2 bag of gummies. 

Bitch pulled a literal race card.

Bitch pulled a literal race card.

I see wypipo having entire meals, feeding kids right off the shelves in the store all the damn time.
