I particularly like the argument that teaching children the accurate history of the United States might make poor little white children uncomfortable.

Unlike sitting through shooter exercises, I presume.

The whole premise is absurd. There is a reason we teach kids not to talk to strangers, and never get in anybody's van for free candy. Is that because they might get cavities? I'm sure they are told that evil (mostly) men want to do bad things and hurt them. So we shouldn't warn Black children about evil men who want to hurt them? Shouldn't warn White kids that evil men might hurt their Black friends? Shouldn't mention all the thousands of times such men have done exactly that?

Anti-CRT is just racists pretending racism is something of the past. While still having Klan rallies, ramming cars into peaceful protestors, shooting up churches, etc.

Will disagree. . I don’t think teaching the idea of what might happen is a good idea, as “what might happen” changes between teachers, parents, and school boards.

Teaching what actually happened is a whole different thing. It’s called history, and it should be required everywhere.

I agree with both of you.

We teach kids how to react in the event that the following might happen:

  • Earthquake
  • Fire
  • Active shooter


We need to teach kids honest history no matter how ugly it is. Isn't it said we need to learn from the past so we don't repeat the past in the future? Hmm

The best thing about that civil investigation is that she is forcing Trump and his kids to give depositions under oath. It's a civil case now, but it's perjury to lie under oath before a judge, before congress, or in a deposition. So if they lie as usual during their depositions, it can become criminal real fast. This is why Trump's lawyers always try to prevent his testimony under oath: Because they know he can't stop himself from lying.

Their testimony before the Jan. 6th committee could have the same results. When you plead the 5th to everything, that means you believe you committed a crime and don't want to incriminate yourself. But now the committee is getting all the records from the archive, so they won't need testimony. They'll have everything to send to the Justice Department, which can freely prosecute everybody who admitted guilt by taking the 5th.

Eric Trump claimed the 5th over 500 times. In other words, he believes he is guilty of lots and lots of crimes.

Apparently the prosecution has just filed a 150 page document with the court containing a myriad of financial frauds committed by the Trumps over the years. These are specific instances of the crimes Conway told the world about years ago, with references to documents that prove the allegations. I think the Trump Organization is going to go the way of Trump University and the Trump Foundation, with all of the Trumps being banned as officers of any corporation.

It would be wonderful to watch all of them under deposition deep fry in their visceral fat. Although the Trump family seems immune from any sort of retribution from anyone whatsoever.

I am not holding my breath for any truthful revelations here.


Get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please.
