@mmattheww1127 @_Dean_H_@corn806@itsJeffTiedrich I can only speak from my own education back in grammar school in the 1960s. I learned all about slavery, the holocaust, Trail of Tears and so much more. What happened?
@oMumbleSo@MeehanCampaign@itsJeffTiedrich No. Children are being sexualized. Ask me about my own experiences and why I claim that. It’s worth listening to if you have the heart to listen to an adult sexually abused as a kid by multiple men.
@theh1vem1nd @NPC_bait @MeehanCampaign@itsJeffTiedrich IDK, but my Irish ancestors came here because they were starving. They came penniless and the last thing they worried about was being “racist”. They just didn’t want to die. Not everyone in the US was a slaveholder.
@heightewe @Rick_Bullard@itsJeffTiedrich White person lecturing white people about black people and telling white people they are racist. Are you? You must be if you’re white. Only a black person can call me a racist.
@Rick_Bullard@itsJeffTiedrich Excuse me, but even as a kid I knew it was shameful. Maybe talk to more people. However, I cannot in any way change the past and refuse to live a lifetime of guilt over things I didn’t do.
@owfler0730@corn806 History is a gigantic subject and the purpose of education is to make you a life long learner. People make lifetime commitments to studying small parts of history. It’s impossible to include everything.
@itsJeffTiedrich What makes you think people aren’t taught? I sure was and I’m 64. I knew all about slavery by 2nd grade. Who has said to cease mentioning slavery - other than no one?
@PetMomNW @Milkvamp There are racist people in this country and there are people who are not. It doesn’t boil down as simply as your statement. How do you propose to eliminate racism?
@Proudliberal552@FromHellPichel@joncoopertweets I am not a “you people”. I am neither a republican nor a democrat. Believe it or not, we exist. Take your bully pulpit elsewhere. This isn’t a bloody soccer game where you chose your “side” or else.
@manofbert@feisty_tamale @xr3c0nxusax @BreeNewsome I live in a very rural area and animal control was not on duty. A deputy came. He and I got the snake - he showed me how to do it myself. Why be so damn critical? It is what happened. Are you in a city?
@pdx_erik@ToriaCuttone @MartyTa94849826 I’ll abide by the jury’s decision. You and I were not on the jury. They marked themselves for life by their verdict. I respect them and do not think they were stupid. Glad I wasn’t one of them.
