MODERATORS
Anyone who self-identifies as a Republican at this point in time is either delusional or psychotic. Full stop.
Thanks for making an off topic comment. Anyone who voted democrat us delusional or psychotic as well
To a lesser extent? Quite possibly. Ignorance though is heavily prevelent in both groups. All groups really. We're all ignorant about some things. It's impossible not to be. However Republicans do stand out however. Purposefully embracing and championing ignorance.
Attacking trans people and burning books like the Nazis did is a bold move. We'll see eventually if it works out differently this time.
You do realize both sides ban books?
No. Which ones have Democrats banned? Also, it's wrong whoever does it.
They're probably talking about the racist books being pulled out of grade school because at that level of education they have no value. But of course Republicans see that as equal to banning LGBT literature because they're chodes.
You were spot on. I pressed him on it elsewhere. And that was literally it. Which was hardly surprising.
Can you give some links/references? Haven't heard of this before
Look into Huckleberry Finn removal from schools.
To be clear, I think there's value in teaching that book with context, but not teaching that context does make the book problematic.
