@DofD_OKLAHOMA A further wrinkle, the folks passing these laws are folks who tend to also believe that Christians who belong to mainline denominations aren't actually Christian.

It's often said: White kids, upon being taught the history of racism, will feel guilty or bad about being White. In fact, White kids who receive antiracist history lessons exhibit fewer racist ideas about Black people while their attitudes about White people are unaffected.

Stating support for quoting Hitler is Anti-Semetic. Doing it with a verse of the Hebrew Scriptures (Old Testament) as your backdrop is an entirely different level of gross and dangerous rhetoric.

Moms for Liberty is a hate group.

[Andrew—#IAmTheResistance @AmoneyResists]

Here’s Tiffany Justice, co-founder of ‘Mom’s for Liberty,’ saying “One of our mom’s quoted Hitler in their newsletter. I stand with that mom!” to raucous applause from the crowd. @Moms4Liberty is not ashamed to be a hate group, just as long as they aren’t in mixed company.

I, too, sing America...

Tomorrow,
I'll be at the table
When company comes.
Nobody'll dare
Say to me,
"Eat in the kitchen,"
Then.

Besides,
They'll see how beautiful I am
And be ashamed—

I, too, am America.

~Langston Hughes

Divine one,
The founders of this nation left us a difficult and complicated legacy. Give us the courage to wrestle with the truth of our nation's history so that, together, we may strive for liberty and justice for all peoples. Amen.
