    Yes ard remained that way for years. But younger generations who opposed segregation, who had grown up under it and the Democrats oppression were rejecting it along with their sudden epiphany as nothing more than trying to buy the black vote and turn the country into a more socialistic country. The segregationist Democrats mostly just died out or retired AS Democrats or lost reelections AS Democrats. And yes LOTS of Northern Republicans were moving here at the time but is was Southerners who brought about the change, Southerners, mostly young Southerners like my self and my fellow students and then working adults who rejected the old Democrat ways.

    The above in bold doesn't make sense to me. (But admittedly I have had a couple beers) How can liberal policies be socialist? Those words by definition are mutually exclusive.

    "Younger generations"? We are talking from 1964 to today. How many generations were their?

    Anyhow. So your saying lots of Northern Republicans moved south. Did lots of Southern Democrats also move north?

    Sorry to ask so many questions. I am just trying to figure out the logistics behind your assertion.

    Yes generations starting from birthdates back in the 1950's. Yes there was a movement of Northerners because of economic expansions and especial chemical and aero space the military oil and gas Northwest companies building woodproducts and paper plants and transferring managers and others, the shipbulding industry had expanded HUGELY during WW2 and that created jobs that needed to be filled. And yes lots of Southerners moved north and west Southerners who had been Democrats.

    This incident proves nothing in itself. Individual principles or teachers being grossly biased is neither new nor unique to the left.

    There is a leftist bias in higher education and education in general, but before that could be effectively combated, the GOP has to show that it respects science again. For as long as the GOP is the "anti-science" party, conservatives cede academia to the left. For as long as academia is conceded to the left, there will be problems in education.

    That seems counter intuitive since many in the south had or were currently working on plantations. Why would they give that work up? And why would northerners, used to working in factories, move south for agriculture work?

    Another thing. If thier was this massive movement; how come the south retained their accent? The southern accent is based on immigrants from Southern England before the civil war. If they moved north, what happened to their accent? If many northerners moved south; how did they develop this southern drawl?

    No the are not mutually exclusive and we see them in action even now. And not limited to economics but also foreign policy and defense and national security.

    The definition of liberalism...from Merriam.

    "...often capitalized : a movement in modern Protestantism emphasizing intellectual liberty and the spiritual and ethical content of Christianity
    b: a theory in economics emphasizing individual freedom from restraint and usually based on free competition, the self-regulating market, and the gold standard (see GOLD STANDARD sense 1)
    c: a political philosophy based on belief in progress, the essential goodness of the human race, and the autonomy (see AUTONOMY sense 2) of the individual and standing for the protection of political and civil libertiesspecifically : such a philosophy that considers government as a crucial instrument for amelioration of social inequities (such as those involving race, gender, or class)..."

    https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/liberalism

    It seems to me that socialism is not compatible with liberalism.

    Yes they are mutually exclusive. Liberalism advocates free competition and self-regulating markets. NEO-liberalism advocates modification and regulation of capitalism in addition to any lame occasional mouthing of sympathies with socialism. Socialism would eliminate capitalism.

    Far from it one leads to the other but first the fascist phase which modern liberals want to get us into as fast as they can.

    Fascism and liberalism are also mutually exclusive.

    From Merriam. Fascism:

    "often capitalized : a political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition
    2: a tendency toward or actual exercise of strong autocratic or dictatorial control"

    https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/fascism

    Not sure about you, but that definition seems to encapsulate the former guy pretty well. Regardless however, it certainly isn't associated with liberalism.

    Oh no, Whites will be treated much worse. As BIPOCS gain power things will start to fall apart. White people will be blamed and punished.

    We have seen this repeatedly in history.

    I don’t know what BIPOCS is...

    Whites will be treated much worse than being treated as property; taken from our homes, stripped of our heritage (for those of us that know it), murdered, tortured, raped, and dehumanized? What do you think is going to happen?

    What is going to happen? Read the Gulag archipelago. If you had told an educated Russian in 1910 what his country would become in thirty years he would hve been as incredulous as you are now.

    Do not underestimate the cruelty of those who aim to make the world a better place.

    Do you have any specific examples of what you believe is on the horizon?

    I would return to sender or make a public show of trashing it. I’m well off enough that I do not need to work, so getting me fired would not be an option.

    You shouldn't take my word for anything. Ask on a science forum, with particular reference to climate change and evolution.

    Yes, it was a terrible and racist think for this principal to do, he should be called out on it, and given an opportunity to show that he will end his promotion of racist attitudes in his professional capacity.

    And to give credit where credit is due, at least the school is open. Other schools are not only refusing to open, they are mocking demands from parents, that they open: School Board Mocks Parents Who Support Reopening: ‘They Want Their Babysitters Back.’

    "One thing we’ve learned from the pandemic: Not only are public school teachers not essential workers, they don’t even regard themselves as essential workers."

    https://pjmedia.com/instapundit/433289/

    Either the teachers return to in class instruction, or give the parents a refundable tax credit on their education taxes so they can enroll their children in an open school.
