Hardcore troubadour 15,510 Posted November 12, 2021 Just now, Sean Mooney said: It has nothing to do with my reading comprehension. It has everything to do with you continually misrepresenting what CRT is. Body blows to children to soften them up for something that once again- CRT IS NOT! Not my fault if you'd rather listen to whatever pundit tells you it exists and bury your head in the sand. Honestly, I expect it because this is why these issues linger over and over. So a union president allegedly did something stupid about parents he felt were threatening him and that means he supports CRT? Supports all teachers? Like what are you even arguing at this point. He has the same views as the teachers union. Pro CRT or whatever you want to call it, pro mask. I’d say he’s in lockstep. And he’s not the union president, he’s the childless school board president.

Apparently my Spinal Tap reference went over your head, perhaps this will help: Now tell me again how I’m misrepresenting CRT? It’s funny, I’ve observed this liberal phenomenon which is somewhere on the autism scale: the belief that the problem is that you just need to educate people more and they’ll “get it.” Vaccines are a great example. The problem isn’t education, the problem is that you (Biden, Fauci, etc., not you Sean) have zero credibility and people don’t trust you as far as they can throw you. The response? More education! Also funny is that I started this discussion stating that I could hopefully cut off the 50 page semantic debacle at FBG, yet here you are, firing away with your 50 cal semantic rifle about the clinical definition of CRT, after I’ve told you what people are objecting to. But please, educate me more on how it isn’t technically CRT. Also I noticed you didn’t respond to the Biden/OMB “birthing person” link, I’ll take that as a concession on your part.

Hardcore troubadour 15,510 Posted November 12, 2021 Numerous school boards throughout the country have stifled parents speaking out about CRT, whatever, have gone as far as to request the DOJ to get involved. If they weren’t teaching it, they wouldn’t do that. School boards and the teachers are ideologically aligned, and the politicians they donate to back them on demand. How quick did Garland send out that letter after the national school board requested the parents be branded domestic terrorists, for raising their voice? Go ahead and call your elected official about a pothole and see how long you wait. But if you pay a lobbyist, like the teachers union does, your pothole gets filled that day.

Yeah- I work with a real liberal school board. Definitely the thought that crossed my mind when in a contract negotiation they refused to let the few Jewish teachers here have high holidays off without using personal days and said "We can't just let every fringe religion have days off."

That warrants the federal department of justice/ fbi getting involved? Since when? How come when cops are credibly threatened , and they are, the DOJ doesn’t step in? Are teachers and school board members being threatened a new thing? I bet/know it’s not. Why all of a sudden the DOJ steps in? You can fool yourself if you like, but you can’t fool everyone.

Exactly. Why is the teachers union being consulted? Because they donate and vote the right way, that’s why. And it goes their way every time. Not once during this have they been denied what they want. They kept our kids out of school because they wanted to. They say kids come first. I’m waiting to see evidence of that.

Feds have absolutely no reason to get involved in local, isolated issues. This is solely a local issue if in fact laws were broken. The DOJ was allowed to be weaponized by the White House to scare parents into silence. End of story. You thing the term "domestic terrorism" was used on a whim? And all of this was orchestrated because of the millions of dollars that Weingarten makes sure hits the pockets of Democrats.

Even IF it was warranted, the fukin head of all Federal law enforcement doest pen a crackdown letter in response to a private group who writes an embellished letter.
