      ​@@MichaelDamianPHD Telling the history of the Republican party doesn't mean you are a propagandist for the Democratic Party mate. You're a Doctor and the fact that the Doctor can think that way shows you you're not really a professional. Many doctors have disagreed over the history of medicine what is good and what is bad correct ? This talk about the virus and the vaccines being harmful should offend every single medical person on the planet. Because what people are saying that have no experience in the medical field is they are smarter than you. Just like you are saying you are smarter than Heather, and that's not true. If she is a specialist in her field, the same way a Doctor is. I'm sorry that when you look back at the history of your counthree and it looks down on republican values that you blame not on democrats and not see that the republican values are the real problem. Golden to William f Buckley junior a man who professed to be a religious person call somebody a queer on national television. You people have stopped worshiping God a long time ago and worship America and celebrity

      The Democrats are the fascists. That's why they want to control speech and create a Ministry of Truth. Unfortunately you're all a bit too dim-witted to grasp that fascism comes from the left and depends on big government.

      @@matthew-jy5jp Lovejoy was instrumental in putting abolition into the public consciousness with his newspaper and refusal to acquiesce to the authoritarians desire to scare the opposition into silence. And let’s be honest, should the christo-fascists take over, she’s one of the ppl they’ll look to settle a score with.

    People have built lives here in America upon a history of great suffering. (I agree. In fact, many people relish explaining how they "came from nothing." Now, that can be a great exaggeration, but that is a legitimate story. I suppose the tragedy is how some people came from nothing and are still "nothing" in the sense that they have been to prison, or don't own a home or don't have parents in their lives etc.)

      Not letting kids read Tom Sawyer because it exposes American racism is an example of restricting the access to information children have during their education.
      She is not delusional because this type of information restriction is exactly what happens in the early ages of fascist states.

      @@ruthhenry9577 You're absolutely clueless, sorry. Some materials are inappropriate for certain ages. That's what it's about. Curricula are not about including "voices and representation" of all groups. It's about instruction, not identity groups. Older children do learn about various groups. You have no idea what you're talking about. It's not even remotely about religion being imposed.
