“Buuuut....this isn’t about her.”

People have made it about her. She wouldn’t have given a statement if she wasn’t being harassed for being part of a “racist ad.” She has a right to defend her decision to participate.

“There’s a special place in hell for women who don’t help each other.”

Fun fact, I’m home this morning because of the ‘holiday’ and decided to rewatch The Birdcage.

This is one depressing-ass Dirt Bag, Jesus Christ.

Darling, Mitch McConnell brewed the tea. Texas tea to be precise.

I am always rather pleasantly astonished at the appearance of Republicans with morals, ethics, and some backbone. I tend to forget that they exist.

The only explanation I can come up with for them protecting him is that they are all corrupt as fuck and somebody has them by the shorthairs. Or the simpler explanation, they’re just greedy dumbasses.

Its amazing what ppl will say when they arent fighting for votes anymore. McCain is the same way. The worst part about Corker is at this point is he vacated a seat only to leave Blackburn and Clay Travis for us to vote for. You think Travis is a no brainer here against Blackburn until you realize the last few months…

I think it’s interesting that Corker’s background was running big real estate companies. We all know that Trump’s previous job was bullshit, but I imagine as someone who knows the industry ins and outs he knows exactly how bullshit it was.

Look at General Kelly’s face every damn time this drumpf opens his mouth in a speaking engagement. He’s cringing. We are all cringing. Day care indeed. No one can corral this bastard and all his bastards.

I don’t understand why you and everyone commenting under you think this was some kind of blunder or oversight by their team. It’s seems to me this was intentional. It was intended to get their brand buzzing and it did. They know that a product boycott by black women is unlikely and even if we did, we are not a…

It’s illegal to punish a student for sitting during the Pledge.

Yep. Windhern is a public high school, thus full protections of the 1st amendment apply as to peaceful protest.

Finally, there’s an ideal I can get behind. That this super-patriotism is comparable to idolatry is something I’ve thought of before myself. Glad to see there’s at least a little self-awareness in the religious community. I will differ to her belief in that lying wizard though.

I was hoping someone would point out that this is established law and clearly outside of any legal justification. Thank you. This is a slam dunk and that school district just opened themselves to a HUGE lawsuit they cannot possibly win.

Teachers have “allowed” students to sit and not participate in the Pledge for the simple reason that by law they are not allowed to NOT permit this.

My mother is super Christian, and none of her kids recited or stood for the pledge since she saw it as idolatry.

India is fucking awesome and braver than I would’ve been at her age. The fact that they tried to expel herfor sitting is the whole reason she’s sitting.

We settled this freaking 70+ years ago - you can’t expel students for not saying the pledge or otherwise acknowledging the flag(West Virginia v. Barnette) . You can’t expel or threaten students for taking peaceful, non-disruptive of class purpose/learning protests like silent actions/arm bands (Tinker v. Des Moines).…
