What a fuckhead.
Ah, what a lovely thoughtful fellow.
Where are ANY of the teachers teaching kids to “hate America”???
My exposure to teachers is fairly limited, but even the couple of them who teach speech and history, are advocates for BLM, and sponsor Gay-Straight alliance groups don’t seem likely to go anywhere close to “hate America.”
We had a family gathering this weekend and spent most of a long weekend with the parental unit so I’ve had a full-serving of Newsmax. If their narrative wasn’t borderline treasonous it would be straight-up, stand-up comedy. This morning they were breathless over the black female athlete who turned her back on the American flag. “How can her assertion of systemic racism be true if a black woman got third place!!” (an actual quote). Right now Roodie Paloonie is being interviewed, saying “there’s no going back on Arizona!!“ “Atlanta looks good!!” “Pennsylvania is problematic because it’s run by Democrats!!”
Treason is front and center – just not in a Denver classroom.
My exposure to teachers is extensive, (30+ years) and I also have never heard of a teacher telling students to “hate America”. Criticize American policies and deeds, yes. Question history and read and write from multiple perspectives on major events, yes.
But those curricular choices are enough grounds for rabid nostalgic folks to rant about “cancel culture” and try to censor any diversion from the old school American history that Europeans had a Manifest Destiny to colonize the American continent, and that excesses of genocide and slavery were regrettable, but served a Noble Purpose.
In Flicker's comment, does not saying "teaching radical ideas that lead to revolts and mass violence always lead to death" more or less unofficially confirm that Trump was guilty of treason on 1/6?
What I was thinking about too.
Wait a minute.
I thought that we supposed to execute teachers because they are
unionCommunist members.More on the path to fascism.
This is further evidence the Republican Party has entered the final stage of its demise. This began 40 years ago when Ronald Reagan brought the evangelical right into the party. Since then, first strict ironclad ideology gripped the party. If you deviated in even a minor way, the party showed you the door. When ideology did not win the day and society continued to move away from their worldview, the party stalwarts moved to a factless world where intentional misrepresentations, lies, and false attacks are acceptable behavior. In fact, it is encouraged. In the end, such an organization cannot govern because it does not have a viable point of reference.
Every country, society, including political parties usually has ethos or myths that motivate citizens and followers that are, in part, based in fact and in part based on high aspirations. We have "American exceptionalism," the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation and others. These inspire us to live up to the principles found within them but they also remind us to be humble because our history contains examples of our failure to do that. That inspiration and humility, in tandem, necessarily precludes false pride and false patriotism and allows us to address our shortcomings in ways that forms "a more perfect Union."
He's only "following orders." It is clear that the threat of our schools is national
prioritydistraction No. 1 for the GOP this cycle as they have realized they need to rebuild their bench, beginning with school boards.That's the blueprint that gave us Musty.
Article III, Section 3, of the US Constitution defines "treason."
This doofus ought to read the Constitution before mouthing off. Of course, Trump and his acolytes have shown that they care little for the Constitution.
