Florida OKs school materials aimed at making students conservatives

Unclear on what your first question was asking.

20 states? Would heterosexuals be okay with having protection in 40% of the nation? I wouldn't.
 
I worry about people lacking common sense who would paint an entire group as guilty of "grooming" = whatever that means.
The Catholic Church has as an organization has been proven to be active in protecting 'employees'. Individual Catholics are no more likely to be a pedophile than any other religious group.
 
What the hell? So because some oppression is not as bad as others, it should be ignored? This is not getting better. Accepting of small acts of oppression leads to acceptance of bigger acts.

So you believe it's a good thing that so many gays are coming out of the closet and being harassed/bullied in high school?
It's all part of their protest movement to win acceptance in our society?
Kids in school will never change. Bullies and homophobes will always exist in our society.
You're doing the right thing to support your child.
Bigots, homophobes, and stupid/ignorant teens will always be there to taunt other kids for who they are.
That's the cross different kids will always have to bear.

You're painting Catholics with a broad and ignorant brush.

Broad yes, ignorant? Have you been paying any attention to what is going on regarding Catholic Church pedophilia?

Yes, but I don't condemn an entire organization because of a few bad apples.
That would be like a Progressive condemning an entire political party because there are crappy politicians who need to be outd and ousted.
Or like a rabid Republican who really believes Joe Biden is as corrupt as his son, Hunter. Oh wait, that still might be true.
 
When the rot has reached the very top of the organization, you condemn the organization no matter how many incidents have occurred.
 
Too bad Biden and Pelosi don't share your view of the Catholic Church.
That's like Biden and Pelosi stating they are Catholic and then supporting whatever method of abortion in order to maintain political power.
But I was a great altar boy and very leery of a Hungarian priest who was a real SOB.
Sure glad I am no longer a devout Catholic.
 
Don't use politicians religion like it's important. They believe in their faith, they took an oath to the Constitution.
 
A state Governor shaking the hand of a local police officer. And, a decorated Navy veteran, reservist wearing a military style uniform. Shocking. Not.

Of the list of whining smears the "don't say gay" charge deserves special mention. The bill doesn't use the term gay.
 
ratccon,
Your post reads like someone who is genuinely frightened by DeSantis' continued popularity with Conservatives and people sick of WOKE ideology permeating our schools, government, and private corporations. It smacks of fear of Biden not able to take on Trump next November 2024. If Trump disappears from the political scene then it's Biden versus DeSantis and that is what the vast majority of Democrats fear in 2024.
 

Misinformation? Like claiming that anyone wants to teach that "slavery was a good thing?"
 

Not acceptable.

It's time for the lawsuits to begin.

What idiot would actually say that?
Do you have an actual reference as to who could be so stupid?
Or is that just a pointed example of misinformation?

Try reading the thread.
 
You mean all eight pages to find out the idiot who said that?

Or, you know, you could read my comment, including the previous comment I quoted and was responding to.
 
The American federation of teachers is an openly progressive group that puts their curriculum in schools.

This is an issue that should be left to communities to set the standards for at the local level. Along with school choice so if you don't like your local communities standards you have the ability to transfer your child to a school where the standards are more suitable to the child's needs.

This should not be a partisan issue. Both sides should embrace choice.
 
Well since you libs started the culture war by trying to force wokeness on the kids, this is a reaction to that, so if you want someone to blame, go look in a mirror.
 
Why clutch your pearls when the pendulum swings in the other direction?
It seems to be the Right getting their panties in a bunch and book banning.

I noticed you didn't defend, does that mean you are against, or just here to make dumbass comments?
