You would be surprised what 10% buys. 10% is about he amount of funding Title I gives to school districts from the feds, and districts bend over backwards to fulfill federal mandates to get those funds.

I went to college in Virginia and was a history major. We had a “northern” professor for US History seminar part 2, which covered the Civil War. The professor started a topic knowing that he would be making an unpopular historical argument. He then went on to explain why Robert E. Lee, although a capable tactician,…

Where was this judge when all those indefinite deals native Americans (although I prefer the Canadian term First Peoples because they predate the concept of America) were on the books?

I find it interesting that Republicans often decry “poor people having too many kids” out of one side of their mouth, and then do everything possible to put up road blocks to abortion with the other side of their mouth.

I think it has been said, and I generally remember this to be true...just because the 99 are a small team of “mostly” good cops, like almost EVERY cop they interact with outside of their unit is corrupt in some way and must be stopped.

I mean based on the headline, it is essentially true. Trump “Colombused” Juneteenth for White People. Colombusing is the process by which a white person first learns about things that POCs know about and widely disseminates this information to other White People. The wide dissemination is key; we don’t call it “Erikson…

The ruling goes out of its way to say the White House can do what they want, all they need to do is give a real reason. Just one.

They might be a tad more shaky now that one of Trump’s appointees stuck to his actual principles when ruling on LGBTQ rights. I might not agree with a strict constructionalist view of the Constitution, but I have more respect for judges who say they do and don’t twist themselves into knots to avoid being a strict…

It does not replace the jobs for the people who lose them during while the Wendy’s is shut down.

Frozen and Book of Mormon are probably the two big “this guy is a draw” thing that continually helps him getting hire.

In Advent we find that Barret is drilling for oil. If we consider him to the a “good guy” that means Shinra is so evil in this world that Exxon would be a “good” corporation.

I have family in western Pennsylvania. They are super Republican. I am a registered independent and to them I am a died in the wool Democrat. I believe this hot take.

Wow. The union is throwing her to the wolves. She must be really really really obvious and bad. I am a representative in a teacher’s union and I regularly advocate for teachers, some who I think are in the right and the district is insane for how they are treating them, and some I think probably would be better off…

I totally agree with you on the native American thing. The whole 40 acres thing, here is a good break down of the real history of it, the black voices that lead to it, and the racist president who entirely shut it down.

Well climate change also contributes to ocean acidification by increasing the amount of carbon dioxide in the water. That may end up being the greater threat unless we get atmospheric carbon under control.

This will probably be an unpopular opinion here. If you don’t put out the opinions and beliefs of “the other side” on platforms with broad access, people of the left and the right will not be able to see where the other side is coming from and this dilutes empathy and understanding. If we simply go “well the other…

I showed the scene from Watchmen in my AP US history class. I explained to the students that the children were watching film was fictional and the specific characters were fictional but that Bass Reeves really was the greatest US Marshall in history and that the events that were shown in Tulsa were a pretty good…

It helps if there is a felony murder charge. As long as a felony was being committed, such as assault and battery, and a person dies, you can be charged with murder, even if that was in no way your intent.

It is so underrated how positive media portrayals of POC can inspire so much youth.

I think you are correct, as passive observers. However, I can roll into video games and just not STOP.
