Communist regimes killed more people in the 20th century than both World Wars combined. Over 100 million.

And yet 34% of young Americans have a favorable view of communism.

This is an education problem – and Kansas can now do something about it.

Unveiled with Yasmine Mohammed https://t.co/uJbmP1TeXD

Wink likens @yasmohammedxx to a modern Joan of Arc, saying... I think we do a good thing when we read this book because it reminds of the strength the power the resilience of the human spirit. It also reminds us that though we may be different on the surface...we may be Black and female or we may be Jewish from the Soviet Union or whatever the surface difference may be... the tie that binds all of us together is the tie that binds us as well to the writer of this book. And that is a love for cherished freedom.

In our 2nd discussion on @YasMohammedxx's book Unveiled, Zander explains Yasmine's statement that "if you're caged long enough, freedom feels weird" as learned helplessness & @76brandy76 further clarifies that victims of abuse are conditioned not to trust themselves.

In our 2nd discussion on @YasMohammedxx's book Unveiled, @JenRichmond struggles with how we define evil and if one is born evil or becomes evil does it matter?

@JenRichmond expresses concern over the isolation tactics of radical Islam underlined in @YasMohammedxx's book Unveiled. Tactics that persist even in western liberal democracies:

You've got Yasmine's mother who everything is haram - it's bad it's evil, and you're scared. This is what you learn since you're a child and you're scared of the outside world and it's meant to do that. It's meant to isolate you.

@SecularRonin is concerned with the hypocrisy in western liberalism that is showcased in @YasMohammedxx's book Unveiled: I was so disgusted with the with how with how a mother can treat her child in that kind of fashion and the the kind of excuses you have to conjure up in your own mind to follow the dictates of your own religion to justify child abuse, to justify misogyny and the whole host of other fundamentalist practices that go against anything we would consider progressivism and and even liberalism. It just really drove home to me the idea that something hypocritical is going on our dialogue.

@YasMohammedxx's book Unveiled, brought up the question of cultural relativism and moral clarity for Diana: I'm a neurologist so science... and so then I'm sitting in this cultural anthropology class when they're discussing this term [cultural relativism] that to me was basically some kind of inversion of moral clarity..

Wink says on his reading @YasMohammedxx's Unveiled: when I read this book I felt it was one of the most difficult books I had read. I ranked it up there with American Slavery As It Is by Theodore Wells... but unfortunately we're living in the year today 2026 and it's not the 1600s or 1700s when we had legalized slavery, yet I kept feeling that there was a slavery of the spirit a slavery of the mind that Yasmine was subjected to...

Latest piece in the @FreeBeacon. Is @POTUS’s push to over double the amount of Chinese students in American universities a good idea? When does national securty outweigh “business”?
