    Not sure why you folks deify MLK Jr.

    Not only was he a homophobe but the fbi (and MLK’s biographer who had access to the sealed files... a Pulitzer Prize winning author for his previous work on MLK Jr might I add) both claim there is an audio recording of MLK Jr witnessing a friend of his rape a young woman in his hotel room. Even laughing at her plight and encouraging the attack to continue.

    Guess them statues and street names gotta go huh?

    As usual, Dems aren't focusing on the economy and once again the American people aren't happy with their misplaced priorities. It's 2009 all over again:

    Poll: Voters ‘Frustrated’ With Biden Ignoring Economy, Inflation, Focusing On Issues They ‘Don’t Care About’

    So, you were being dishonest, not ignorant. Congratulations.

    For the record, I wasn't asked to provide you with any policy statement or platform, and the GOP isn't hiding them from the public - all you have to do is look.

    Google is at your fingertips...

    Fake Claim #1
    Prove it or admit you are falsifying information

    Fake Claim #2
    No, it isn't plausible and you don't get to dictate what other people may or may not be thinking.
    You just made it up, got caught, and now making excuses

    Fake Claim #3
    Name one. Yet another fake claim.
    Garland received a MEMO from the NSBA claiming some school board meetings have devolved into shouting contests over issues such as how racial issues are taught, masks in schools, and COVID-19 vaccines and testing requirements.
    Garland told the FBI there had been “a disturbing spike in harassment, intimidation, and threats of violence against school administrators, board members, teachers, and staff who participate in the vital work of running our nation’s public schools. Then claimed “The obligation of the Justice Department is to protect the American people against violence and threats of violence and that particularly includes public officials,”

    You don't have a single incident reported to Garland or any kind of terrorism. And there is nothing that could legitimize labeling parents as domestic terrorist.
    But you keep claiming it. See what happens.
    You can't even learn from the last historical events that took place with Virginia, Seattle, New York, New Jersey, or Minneapolis. So there is no way you could possibly apply any knowledge going forward.
    But we all appreciate the fake outrage and fake claims the come out of the left every day.

    Why should George Wallace, Bull Conner and Jefferson Davis give Democrats any help and solutions which the Dems would dismiss out of hand as racist?

    Why should they assist the Dems plans which are wrecking the economy fueling inflation and paying people not to work?

    Oh, so death is line that has to be crossed for your concern. Never mind the long haul effects, never mind the spread, never mind.......you know what, never mind. It's clear you just don't care.
    No, the lawsuit in Virginia doesn't show that at all and the fact that anyone can sue anyone for anything doesn't give the case any merit. How many are involved with the suit.....oh yeah, 5 families. So what.
    They are defending themselves for something they are accused of teaching that they aren't and showing the merits of why it SHOULD be taught. Not surprised you can't grasp the concept.
    Virginia is pretty much 50/50. You can tell by just looking at the voting history. Get a clue.
    Sure, taken at face value but not if you look at the whole picture.

    So Build Back Better isn't about the economy? Funny how your rebuttal is a poll but not the actual actions that are going on. As far as the policy statement and platform and your "google" comment.....did your computer not work? Mine does

    Yet you want to mask up every little kid and frighten them over your own fake Covid fears.
    Like that makes sense

    The lawsuit specifically targets the exact curriculum being taught and when it was introduced.
    the Albemarle School District introduced their pilot program during this past 2020-21 school year and one of the students attached to the lawsuit took part in it. The school district has even announced that there are plans in the works to expand this teaching across all school levels in the future.
    Which shos you know nothing of the lawsuit. Just more leftist propaganda stories.

    Manhattan Institute’s Christopher Rufo reported that 30 public school districts in 15 states are teaching a book, Not My Idea, A CRT teaching
    In Cupertino, California, an elementary school required third graders to rank themselves according to the “power and privilege” associated with their ethnicities.

    Schools in Buffalo, New York, taught students that “all white people” perpetuate “systemic racism” and had kindergarteners watch a video of dead black children, warning them about “racist police and state-sanctioned violence.”

    And in Arizona, the state’s education department sent out an “equity toolkit” to schools that claimed infants as young as 3 months old can start to show signs of racism and “remain strongly biased in favor of whiteness” by age 5.

    If that’s not enough evidence, the nation’s largest teachers union outright endorsed the teaching of CRT to public school students in an agenda item it passed last week. The National Education Association vowed to “share and publicize” information “already available on Critical Race Theory — what it is and what it is not” and fight back against legislation that would ban CRT from school curricula.

    But nobodys teaching CRT. :roflol:

    Virginia is 55% Democrat and the last Republican Governor was over 20 years ago.
    Did you get a clue yet? Even after losing in Virginia, New York, New Jersey, Seattle, and Minneapolis?
    Most likely not

    That's right - it's not.

    Funny how most Americans can see through the Left's propaganda and see how Biden and the Democrats haven't done **** about the economy, which is why we're experiencing many of the problems we're experiencing.

    Beyond the obvious, all one has to do to determine the Democratic Party's priorities is look at the first bill Democrats pushed in Congress after they came to power in 2021 - ya know, the actual actions that are going on - to find that it had NOTHING to do with the economy, and all one has to do is turn on the TV or read the newspaper to see that they're still wasting time on that bill and their Quixotic jihad to kill the filibuster instead of focusing on the economy. Democrats squandered an entire year focusing on their own priorities, just as they did back in 2009.

    LMAO!!! You went to Vox to find the GOP's policies and platform? :lol:

    Does your computer not work? Will it not let you go to the websites of the state and national branches of the GOP where their platform and policies are spelled out for you in plain English?

    Lee, I don't understand. I'm not a political expert but one doesn't have to be to recognize their only agenda is hating <the new flavor target> and blaming everything on Biden, minorities and non-heterosexual people. That's who they are (while claiming and pretending they aren't).

    We did. We (white people) fought a war and died to free the slaves. Pretty sure we are the only country in the world who has done that ya?

    Guess who still has slaves?

    Ironically it's the negro.

    Six million dead worldwide, what exactly is "fake" about this whole thing?
    No, it doesn't. The lawsuit is trying to show what the parents "believe" to be CRT being taught. It's not.
    Really!! Well, we'll see what the court(s) decide.
    Mine works just fine.

    Can you show where anyone has blamed minorities, and non-heterosexual people for CRT?

    As for Biden. His DoE is promoting the 1619 Project, a project which is based on CRT, and is promoting Ibram X. Kendi, who also bases his work on CRT.

    Mcauliffe qwas wrong and elitist pig. Parents above all others should be telling schools what to teach THEIR kids.

    There were no known significant cases of such threats justifying the DOJ's involvement. The DOJ was asked to be ionvolved to silence dissent because gthe left are fascists.

    That was not disinformation about CRT the disinformation is the claim that it is NOT being taught.

    You are the one proven wrong and factually so.

    The action is in response to an urgent request last week from the National School Boards Association. The group, which represents school board members around the country, asked President Joe Biden for federal assistance to investigate and stop threats made over policies including mask mandates, likening the vitriol to a form of domestic terrorism.

    The association asked for the federal government to investigate cases where threats or violence could be handled as violations of federal laws protecting civil rights. It also asked for the Justice Department, FBI, Homeland Security and Secret Service to help monitor threat levels and assess risks to students, educators, board members and school buildings.

    The group’s letter documented more than 20 instances of threats, harassment, disruption, and acts of intimidation in California, Florida, Georgia, New Jersey, Ohio and other states. It cited the September arrest of an Illinois man for aggravated battery and disorderly conduct for allegedly striking a school official at a meeting. In Michigan, a meeting was disrupted when a man performed a Nazi salute to protest masking.

    So wait. Your assertion is that they WANT to teach it but they aren’t? Even if that’s true, you understand that’s not any better right?

    You’re not getting “reparations”. You weren’t a slave and nobody in this country owned any damn slaves. Literal hundreds of thousands of white men (that you hate) fought and died in the Civil War. Schools have been integrated, blacks are all over the working sector and in plenty of positions of power. What the hell else do you want? We gonna start cashing checks out to people because of their skin tone? You freakin kidding me? As if all the deaths from the Civil War, government-assistance up the ass, and affirmative action isn’t enough. When WILL it be enough?

    Answer: It never will. You could write every last one of them a check for 1 million US dollars and they would come back a year later with their hands out for more. THAT is the reality of the situation. I wish this forum wasn’t so strict because I’d love to tear into you 100x more than this.

    What everyone owes to everyone is to be treated equally. That still isn't happening.
