I mean, you did just say above that a year ago you would have thought yourself crazy for saying this. So maybe don’t condescend to the people who think like “just one year ago you.” It won’t help. How DID you come to see things differently?
But this quote? ? It makes me think his education failed him.
"What [the bill is] saying is that we want to indoctrinate college students on their dime to what we think is important," State Rep. Michael Rivers (D) said in objection to the bill. "If you in college and you ain't learning this stuff yet, it's kind of late. ... This [bill] is just blowing smoke."
I actually have mixed feelings on this. My initial thought is that this is great! Everyone should know the founding docs!
But how do we make sure the people teaching it are conveying them properly, and not with the “woke” lens? And having the government mandate anything...even something good...into our education can be an unnerving idea. Free market indicates that schools should offer what the students demand. But then, they do receive state funding, so I can be persuaded. I just don’t think it is simple.
I haven't watched it yet. But if this plan was put into place well before Trump, and in fact recruited Trump, then I've been thinking it doesn't actually require Trump to continue. Not as an insult to him, but...he had a part, and it may be done.
I’ve been trying to figure out who il Donaldo is, and this one finally convinced me that I think it IS Scavino. Scavino was starting to get punchy, and then he got quieter around when these started coming out (if I remember right). And I have the impression Jenna Ellis knows who it is - they’re very familiar. ?
Wait, is the concern that the man was trying to take the children unauthorized? Because it seems like not - that the concern is seatbelts. And I’m going to be honest (and show my age a bit, because I grew up without seatbelts). If you have children that just migrated across several countries and crossed the Rio Grande in a raft, probably seatbelts in Texas aren’t the biggest risk they’ve faced. The outrage seems a bit overblown.
I have family members who own a business in Cali, and this is exactly the reason they wouldn't sign. They wanted to, and hate what's happening out there, but they imagined a day when their name (and their business) would appear on a "list."
