The people who teach the guilt of original sin don’t want anyone teaching their children about their actual ancestors’ REAL sins. Because it might make them feel bad or something? I don’t get it.

As someone who aspires to teach history, I fully plan to teach the civil rights movement and if I get fired for teaching important things like Emmett Till's murder or the Genocide of Native Americans on a high school level, so be it.
Good. When I found out how badly I'd been lied to in school, I was livid. Teach children, especially teenagers, the truth. They can handle it and it will make them better citizens
As long as you dont teach that white people invented slavery and that they are born racist like some schools do then thats fine by me. One should never forget the past.....as long as its remembered and taught accurately not just someone pushing their personal opinion and agenda on the children as if its fact
@@jeffreylessard7538 Noone was born racist, it was taught by an institution that used racism purely for monetary gain. If you grow up in a society that teaches you from childhood to see someone as the "other" you will begin to view that group as the "other." I go into a little detail about the early years of American Slavery in a new video I'm working on about the Stono Rebellion. But moral of the story, racism is taught.
@@jeffreylessard7538 Btw while the Portuguese prince Henry the Navigator didn't invent slavery itself, he did invent the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade that is associated with the enslavement of Africans. Noone is saying slavery didn't exist before, and it certainly still exists today. The Trans Atlantic Slave Trade is just more relevant to US History
@@timthehistorian oh im with that its just some were taught that we here in this country started it.

Q: _"Are you sorry?"_ (6:51) Right answer: _"Yes."_ Wrong answer: _"I didn't -- I've said I was sorry many times, I've behaved _*_as if_*_ I'm sorry."_
'Are you sorry?' Stupid question! He's mildly sorry he was caught. He will continue lying because he was rewarded for it, with no consequences - actually rewarded by removal from committees. So he gets paid while doing nothing but looking for more ways to grift the system and vote whichever way the highest bidder dictates. Other liars will follow his example, further eroding the little trust we have in Republican politicians.
yeah when I heard him say that I was like 'Freudian slip?' I know he's trying to say actions speak louder than words. But that's not how you rephrase it.
That one line says a lot about his mental state. He doesn’t even comprehend how others will interpret his words. That’s not a normal response to the question of “are you sorry”. Anyone who was either actually sorry, or even just capable of adequately projecting that falsehood, would just say yes, they are sorry. He doesn’t even know how to lie, which is a mixture of sad and odd for someone who lies ALL THE TIME. I question if he is truly mentally fit for any public office, and not even for all the lies. It goes deeper than that.
Sadly, the deprivation is mostly a consequence of parental disregard. Too many parents may demand a good education for their children, and fault teachers when it is not achieved. Yet beyond that, most oppose allocating more resources. Perhaps more significant, a majority of parents show no interest in what their children are being taught and tested. Showing an interest in the specifics of what they've learned and perhaps even engaging with the homework occasionally would greatly aid motivation to learn. In actuality, the 'interest' rarely goes beyond telling their kids 'do your homework'. Some don't even both with that.
@@gregparrott true, but the lack of parent engagement is caused mostly by the fact that we are all stuck in the meat grinder aka capitalism and don’t have time or energy after working all day. We can’t just blame parents without looking at the systems that force people to behave the way they do. The homework isn’t exactly set up to be easy for parents to engage with and spark teachable lessons the parents and kids can both enjoy. The entire system is broken. Blaming individual parents for the system failing without funding the system properly is right wing brain rot and helps zero children
@@terrystevens8338 True, but to a limited degree. I've heard many stories and have even some where their family life would be generously described as subsistence, and that was despite constant work. Yet they engaged with their children enough to instill the importance of education. The children of most parents in that predicament don'r receive that extra 'something'. So, it's about MAKING the time. When in college, I also saw a seemingly cultural trend. I admired Asians, who by and large, were FAR more disciplined at study than I or most of my (white) kind. I've met the extended family of a few Asians. They seemed exemplary in supporting their children's education.
@@gregparrott yes. My parents ALWAYS went to our parent-teacher conferences. Every. Single. One. Every teacher told them that they were one of the only families who did that. Mom became a high school teacher later and realized how much worse it actually was by that time.
@@gregparrott sure some people manage to make it happen.. but we don’t plan society around what some people manage to accomplish.. we need make laws and a system that works for most people.. I’d honestly want it set up to cater to the needs of the people that need the help the most. Republicans destroyed public education a generation ago and when you have a generation of parents that were failed by the system long ago they are now unable to accomplish that goal.. many kids have parents that can barely read.. just shaming them isn’t going to fix anything . Also what you experienced as a child is no metric to use to determine anything about the current situation.. when you were a kid people could still have one parent at home and had it much easier then parents today have it.
"Show me your budget, I'll show you mine." --Joe Biden Now, I might not agree with everything Biden does, but this here is absolute gold for somebody saying something. It communicates the gravity of the situation. I just like that quote.
He's so right. The budget is the place to propose BUDGET cuts. If the repubs can come up with a budget that suits their needs, bring it. Then it will be debated and decided upon. We still have to pay our bills. Try telling your credit card people that you're gonna cut your budget. They'''d say "Great. But you still have to pay the balance on your bill."
People's household budgets are pretty stretched... will those do? Let's be clear; the politicking of the gormless, old, out of touch political establishment is getting in the way of people's health, safety, dignity, life, liberty, pursuit of happiness, etc. .
The debt is to pay for past budgets that have already been spent. Not current budgets. That the GOP want to use the debt as a hostage for budget negotiations and have yet to outline in detail what changes they would propose, makes it blatantly obvious that they have no idea what they are doing.
Yes, in my opinion, on this entertainment channel, people are not interested in politics much, so you can be charged with positivity. On CNN, a completely different contingent of Americans who are brainwashed by total propaganda. Hello from Russia...
I don't mind paying taxes now for other people's medical care in the future since I know someone else is doing the same for me. Also, me paying into Social Security today is going to people like my grandparents who need that money they earned after decades of hard work, & I hope decades down the road the system will still be there for me if I need that financial aid.
Mr. Torres- Thank You for being someone who gets it. Social Security & Medicare are NOT entitlements. Any person who works 'over the table' & gets taxes taken out of their paychecks also pays for Social Security & Medicare. The Employers also pay their share, for each employee, each paycheck. The GOP wants to do away with Social Security & Medicare because they don't want the USA Citizenry to know just how much money they've borrowed (to balance the USA's budget) & they can't pay it back to the Social Security & Medicare Trust.
Don't expect most Republicans to understand the thought process and meaning behind that one. They just use the word "socialism" and that's apparently the end of *that* discussion.
Also, the tax rates don't change based on people's healthcare. The taxes are collected regardless. They just make a budget to include healthcare... If it didn't go back to the people who were paying the taxes in services (healthcare, infrastructure, etc.), it would just go somewhere else anyways (possibly for frivolous things or to the people sitting up in Congress or their friends in corporations, through things like government bailouts or incentives). The amount they paid in taxes wouldn't change.
100% agree. There is so much about slavery that I am still learning at 40 I had no idea about. Unfortunately the people in charge are either racist or extremely embarrassed that their family held slaves. They won't let the rest of us learn about it
@PC Bassoon China also covers up its massacres of its citizens, doesn't make it right. If we want to be a free nation we need to stop acting as an autocracy with dictators
American children already learn about slavery, it's a part of American and World History. It's literally in EVERY middle and high school history textbook.
I read that once, a long long time ago, in a dark forgotten corner of the world, there was a child of many names, one of which would one day be George Santos. It is said that once, in the cool breeze of a warm afternoon, he spoke a single, solitary sentence of truth. Unfortunately, the only witness was was deaf, and so those words will never be heard by human ears.
Pretty sure Santos only decided to recuse himself so he wouldn’t have to do literally anything. He already doesn’t take phone calls from constituents/local lawmakers. Hasn’t spent any time in his head quarters, makes sense he would step down from his assignments so all he really is required to do to earn his $174,00 is raise his hand occasionally. Assuming he even shows up to do that.
He didn't recuse himself. Behind closed doors he was asked to to do so in order to make it easier for McCarthy to rip others off committees with no justification and in exchange for retaining his vote and letting him stay in Congress.
A societys degree of insecurity in its own values can be discerned by the degree of censureship that happens in its places of education. The US is an exceptionally insecure society.
Senate and Congressional income should be reduced considerably. Besides their ability to legally insider trade as it is next to impossible to hold them accountable, you get people like Santos who want such a prestigious position, not because they care about the people they serve, but because of how much money they will make.
Nah, I guess it’s not the money they directly make there, but all the money they can make after leaving and going corporate, or by just being a corrupt corporate puppet, that lets their pockets get filled by shady ‘business’ people and PACs
But then they need to change the rules so that the entry level staffers can make a decent living (currently members of Congress are the highest paid in their offices and there are several tiers of staffers each of whom get paid a lower amount than the staffers above them)
Plenty of fat that can be cut, start with alphabet agencies that have grown out of control , and threaten every citizens privacy. Out of control defense spending, that they can't even audit. Defense contractors, I could go on . But they will cut programs that help citizens,
I don't think he's done even that. Most of the time he just comes across as smug. He's "cried wolf" so much that even if he did attempt an apology, I wouldn't believe him.

Gibbons are in the family Hylobatidae, more closely related to Apes than "monkeys" This mistake is equivalent to saying rhinoceros but meaning horse. My primatology degree in action!
Stephen, I love you brother, and I know it's about the humor, but here's the thing. Calling a gibbon a monkey is like calling a human a monkey. The best way to distinguish a monkey and an ape is that apes do not have tails.
9:30 Regarding the "I-monkey-late" conception, it's a pity Steve didn't tell the full story of how the male monkey managed to impregnate the female monkey. The father monkey was at the time locked in an adjacent cage to the female monkey that was separated by a partition with 6mm diameter air holes. It was concluded that he used one of the holes in the partition as a "Glory hole" to impregnate the female monkey next door.
Why is that a shame, it leaves so many questions. Did it's dick fit, or did it throw sperm through and it just happened to impregnate the female, or can monkeys just fuck through walls?!
The GQP never cares, and yet people keep voting for them. I've always said the Democrats are not perfect either, but at least they never try to take from people, stuff that's been in place for years!!!

Well, if they want to hold the debt ceiling hostage, then let them do it. Because when everything crashes and other big countries come knocking and asking "where's our money?", we have an entire list of people to point them to for how to find all the people responsible. :)

Want to know why the kids don't learn like they should? Legislators keep trying to control what happens in the classroom. They are some of the most disconnected people about schools as there are in America. They are more concerned about the opinions of their donors and lobbyists than they are about the actual futures of the youth. No one knows what is going on any more. Let teachers teach.

You cannot cut benefits to social security as we have paid for those. You can cut contributions and then later the payouts, as less was paid in. Not the governments money.

New Zealand's racial divide, between the Maori first colonists and the European settlers from the mid-1800s, has vastly narrowed in the past 30 years precisely because white and Maori Kiwis chose to confront the sins of the past and of the present and resolve them. Still work to be done, but restricting conversations or lessons about race is the surest way to make racial scars permanent and festering. That is of course the point - keep us fighting each other so we don't join together and fight the true enemy, the moneyed elite.
New NZ HISTORY curriculum has been just introduced to Primary Schools. Always a positive thing for children to learn what life was like for their ancestors, and different ethnic groups in the past. Knowledge and and hearing different perspectives builds empathy. NZ, like many places, has a long way to go. The audacity of any country to ban black history being taught, let's just narrow those children's minds even more.
Cutting spending from social security and Medicare is rediculous because it's literally 2 specific taxes taken out of my checks every payday...like specific to those programs so im paying into my social security for my future cut it somewhere bro
Black history is AMERICAN history, which originally was never incorporated into curriculum. Thus, the reason it had to be "created" in the first place. Why is it so hard to accept every ethnic group that helped make this country what it is?!?
They begged him to be a model? I bet they walked in, big man, strong man, tears in his eyes, saying "Mr. Santos... you gotta be a model." After Thump, it's getting real easy to spot these obvious lies.

@@Virjunior01 So good of youtube to run defense for you by not allowing me to post a rebuttal to your nonsense. 🙄
Pretty sure Santos only decided to recuse himself so he wouldn’t have to do literally anything. He already doesn’t take phone calls from constituents/local lawmakers. Hasn’t spent any time in his head quarters, makes sense he would step down from his assignments so all he really is required to do to earn his $174,00 is raise his hand occasionally. Assuming he even shows up to do that.
He didn't recuse himself. Behind closed doors he was asked to to do so in order to make it easier for McCarthy to rip others off committees with no justification and in exchange for retaining his vote and letting him stay in Congress.
@@earthknight60 Omar
Yeah, $476.71 per day before taxes of course, but then I'm guessing he doesn't bother with that.
@@garfield2439
You didn't finish your thought. Take it easy on the lasagna bru
@@earthknight60 yeah it def makes it easier on McCarthy. Also he wants to sit in the background, not be front page news.
A societys degree of insecurity in its own values can be discerned by the degree of censureship that happens in its places of education. The US is an exceptionally insecure society.
MTG was asked if she was secretly dating McCarthy . She said 'yes' and reporter asked 'how is it ? ' She replied ' The same weak in , weak out'
MTG is laughably but not funny.
Senate and Congressional income should be reduced considerably. Besides their ability to legally insider trade as it is next to impossible to hold them accountable, you get people like Santos who want such a prestigious position, not because they care about the people they serve, but because of how much money they will make.
It's still illegal if they aren't held to account.
Nah, I guess it’s not the money they directly make there, but all the money they can make after leaving and going corporate, or by just being a corrupt corporate puppet, that lets their pockets get filled by shady ‘business’ people and PACs
How about cutting subsidies to oil companies, 90 billion dollars in 2020, for an industry that nets 200 billion in profits.
But then they need to change the rules so that the entry level staffers can make a decent living (currently members of Congress are the highest paid in their offices and there are several tiers of staffers each of whom get paid a lower amount than the staffers above them)
Plenty of fat that can be cut, start with alphabet agencies that have grown out of control , and threaten every citizens privacy. Out of control defense spending, that they can't even audit. Defense contractors, I could go on . But they will cut programs that help citizens,
" I behaved AS IF I'm sorry". WTG does that even mean???
Sociopaths mimic emotions and decent human behavior. He really just gave himself away here...Freudian slip.
And even that is a lie because if he behaved as if he was sorry, he'd have already resigned
Lol, I taught for 20 years and running into a student in a grocery store was definitely one of my fears! I actually hid from them.
'I've behaved AS IF I'm sorry'... George Santos/Bart Simpson
I don't think he's done even that. Most of the time he just comes across as smug. He's "cried wolf" so much that even if he did attempt an apology, I wouldn't believe him.
That's a comparison unworthy of Bart Simpson

I'm expecting we will see George Santos on Dancing With the Stars soon.
Or Dancing Behind Bars.
I thought he was long one of the professionals.
More likely The Masked Singer (see: other disgraces Sarah Palin and Rudy Guiliani)
Or Big Brother 😅
That’s a good guess. In a sane world, he would’ve been called to account long before this.
Breaking news: George Santos has admitted that he’s the real Keyser Soze.
He also stood up when someone asked for the Real Slim Shady
@@sideshowbro, ☠️ 💀 🤣 💀☠️
He also confirmed that he is Annie and he's not OK.
He also shot the sheriff (still waiting for word on the deputy)

Thank you Mr. Horstman, teaching me history the right way, he presented what my state wanted us to know then showed us where to learn the truth outside of class and made our assignments about it.
1:20 For politicians that preach about “small government” and “freedom,” Republicans are working overtime to make sure the government (*their* government) can tell teachers what to teach and what not to teach.

Gibbons are in the family Hylobatidae, more closely related to Apes than "monkeys" This mistake is equivalent to saying rhinoceros but meaning horse. My primatology degree in action!

Stephen, I love you brother, and I know it's about the humor, but here's the thing. Calling a gibbon a monkey is like calling a human a monkey. The best way to distinguish a monkey and an ape is that apes do not have tails.

Birds, feathers, flocking togethers, you know the story
9:30 Regarding the "I-monkey-late" conception, it's a pity Steve didn't tell the full story of how the male monkey managed to impregnate the female monkey. The father monkey was at the time locked in an adjacent cage to the female monkey that was separated by a partition with 6mm diameter air holes. It was concluded that he used one of the holes in the partition as a "Glory hole" to impregnate the female monkey next door.
If only Stephen had also talked about gibbons as primates not monkeys!
Why is that a shame, it leaves so many questions. Did it's dick fit, or did it throw sperm through and it just happened to impregnate the female, or can monkeys just fuck through walls?!
Happens with dogs all the time. The part of the story he told was very misleading as it makes you believe that there was no other ape anywhere
😂😂😂😂
Sounds like the lady monkey was fully cooperating with this miracle!
If they cut social security and Medicare my mom literally ends up on the street
And ppl think the streets are crowded now!
The GQP never cares, and yet people keep voting for them. I've always said the Democrats are not perfect either, but at least they never try to take from people, stuff that's been in place for years!!!
Thousands of seniors would end up on the street! My mom would probably be dead without Medicare.
@@Chattepliee Exactly!! As far as Social Security, all they need to do is raise the cap, so more people continue to pay into it. Why have a program still based on income criteria from when it was first implemented?!?...but nobody ever wants to mention that!!
Well, if they want to hold the debt ceiling hostage, then let them do it. Because when everything crashes and other big countries come knocking and asking "where's our money?", we have an entire list of people to point them to for how to find all the people responsible. :)
I should point out that some of these countries may not be friendly about this (Russia and China for example - in fact, doing this with the Russians and Chinese also sounds like the kind of mob caper that would get the organizers whacked).
My grandmother taught school for 36 years. We never went anywhere without hearing "Hi Miss Parker!" from one of her former students.
Which was strange, considering her name was George Santos.
I have been retired for three years and I still get "Teacher!" From somebody whenever I go out of my house. I taught ESOL at our college for 34 years!

"On the other side of this card is a l ie. On the other side of this card is the truth."

Want to know why the kids don't learn like they should? Legislators keep trying to control what happens in the classroom. They are some of the most disconnected people about schools as there are in America. They are more concerned about the opinions of their donors and lobbyists than they are about the actual futures of the youth. No one knows what is going on any more. Let teachers teach.
Santos, on whether he was sorry..." I behaved as if I'm sorry..." Can't stop shaking my head.

You cannot cut benefits to social security as we have paid for those. You can cut contributions and then later the payouts, as less was paid in. Not the governments money.

The proper way to refer to him is "George Santos, If That's His Real Name"
New Zealand's racial divide, between the Maori first colonists and the European settlers from the mid-1800s, has vastly narrowed in the past 30 years precisely because white and Maori Kiwis chose to confront the sins of the past and of the present and resolve them. Still work to be done, but restricting conversations or lessons about race is the surest way to make racial scars permanent and festering. That is of course the point - keep us fighting each other so we don't join together and fight the true enemy, the moneyed elite.
New NZ HISTORY curriculum has been just introduced to Primary Schools. Always a positive thing for children to learn what life was like for their ancestors, and different ethnic groups in the past. Knowledge and and hearing different perspectives builds empathy. NZ, like many places, has a long way to go. The audacity of any country to ban black history being taught, let's just narrow those children's minds even more.

Black history is AMERICAN history, which originally was never incorporated into curriculum. Thus, the reason it had to be "created" in the first place. Why is it so hard to accept every ethnic group that helped make this country what it is?!?
