Politics in US

No, things will get much worse. Kiss your religious freedom goodbye

Aloe let me tell to you the way it has to go. We gunnu have to make a satmer organization to sponsor the campaign for Trump and he will get kushner to become satmer and then we have free satmer fleish

CA: CRT is a great social wedge issue invoked by a lot of really mindless Trump waanabees who have no clue what it means and even less awareness that it is virtually nonexistent in curricula of most public schools at the elementary and high school level (even in Blue States). However, as we have seen in recent elections in Virginia and elsewhere, it WORKS to generate both campaign contributions and votes.

People yelling at each about how to run the government is actually a good thing. If you want a place where everyone acts respectful to the government, try North Korea. If you think its bad now, look at the past (a hundred years ago, most good Jews were open to Jews, as long as they worked Shabbos, changed their names and were baptized – when a frei Jews was appointed to a major office, it was considered very radical – serious Torah education for an American usually involved a trip, often taking weeks, to a yeshiva in Europe – openly anti-Semitic groups were considered to be politically respectable in the US), and stop whining.

AAQ: some good points but you also miss the growing trend in some deep Red jurisdictions (state and local) to actually engage in their own perverse cancel culture by enacting legislation that would literally “neutralize” discussion of slavery in the same way that stupid Texas school administrator insisted her teachers had to present “both sides” of the holocaust. Its one thing to avoid indoctrinating younger student with “guilt” for the embedded racism in America’s founding and lasting to some extent through today but to restrict teaching of the basic facts of slavery and post-civil war racism in U.S. history is the functional equivalent of Holocaust Denial to Black Americans (and I’m usually the one complaining about using the Shoah as a analogy to anything).

The only reason to not teach CRT is if it teaches false history.

Why would a white student in 2022 feel bad because of what happened in the 1700 – 1800’s?

Strangely, there are people who are still racists in 2022 and very proud of it.

GH. The Virginia DOE website clearly stated that CRT was being taught in public schools. The left misrepresents the opposition to CRT, as you did. Slavery is part of our past and should be part of the history taught in school. Martin Luther King believed people should be judged on their character, not skin color. CRT often seeks to divide , by race, and by defining whites as inherently racist.

CTlawyer, do you actually think that the party that allows anti Semitic pronouncements by the Squad to go unpunished , and banned outdoor church and synogogue services because of covid while allowing BLM protests is the party of religious rights?

@anon

” banned outdoor church and synogogue services because of covid ”
I call out your lie,
The PARTY has/had no power to ban anything. Bans were put in place by elected state and municipal officials according to emergency powers granted by state legislatures.
Last April, those gathering bans were ordered by CT Governor Lamont (D) and our next door neighbor, MA Governor Baker (R).

Get it out of your head that every action by a member of a party means it is the official stance of the party, or even that the party takes such a stance.

Right now in CT, Mandatory mask wearing inside buildings besides schools and Government offices is a decision made by the municipal chief executive. My Town, led by a D does not have a mask mandate, the 4 contiguous towns led by Rs do have mask mandates.
