Colton Gilbert, the debate coach at Central High, said [...] “Every day I walk into class and think to myself: is today’s conversation the one that will get me fired?”
Free speech being chilled in real time. JFC.
Have you ever seen Sanders, Chaya Raichak, and Sidney Powell in the same room? They’re like different age levels of the same chinless, bigot.
Hatred sucks!
- Hatred is stored in the jowls
- There's a Huckabee family photo from years ago - probably around the time Mike Huckabee was helping campaign for one of her early elections, but I'm not 100% about that.
  In the photo most of Huckabees were wearing some variant of a striped shirt, and I remember thinking it looked like a cluster of circus tents.
  I have to go find that pic to make sure it wasn't a fever dream.
This is pretty foul, but in line with conservatives wanting to control education and retcon history. Who controls the past, controls the present. And who controls the present, controls the future...
- Are you quoting Red Alert?
  
  We need more Command & Conquer (up to Tiberian Twilight) taught in the Classrooms!
  
  It’s also in a rage against the machine song, renegades of funk
  
  I just got hit with nostalgia so hard.
  
  I'm pretty sure I saw that quote in 1984. Which is becoming less of a dystopian novel and more of a description of present times.
  
  This guy, proving that the "oh, you mean from Fortnite" thing isn't new.
Here in Arkansas she's been pushing some propaganda around the LEARNS Act where she's almost literally thanking herself for making kids learn better. Fuck her.
Yet they'll argue they aren't racists while attacking everything not white.
- Black person in a movie: "Why is Hollywood so woke?"
  Muslim in an advertisement: "These brands have just gone woke."
  Trans person in sports: "The woke are ruining sports."
  School subject focused on Black Studies: "Woke schools are ruining education."
  The rest of us: "Have you considered that you're just a bigot?"
  
  One of the best parts of leaving reddit is how much less I see frightened bigots screeching about "white genocide" over a black person appearing in an advertisement.
Conservatives: "bUt We AiNt RaCiSt YaLL!"
We wouldn't want kids in Arkansas learning about the Little Rock Nine...
