@LarsPorsena1@clayvc@jimstewartson Also the book of Job is absolutely going to help turn some of those kids into Atheists (if the other bullshit in the other grades don't do that first)
Teachers should not be forced to teach scripture on top of all of the other bullshit they already have to do.
@LarsPorsena1@clayvc@jimstewartson Okay cool a 1 sentence explanation is sufficient. We didn't read any bible scripture when I was in school.
If they want to learn more they can go to Sunday school.
The bible verses being mandated for the Texas curriculum are extremely unnecessary and inappropriate.
@D_Aedigius@ChurchofSatan This is basically the list of what would be required per grade level. To me this goes far beyond just teaching that the bible is an influential text.
This is stuff for sunday school, not a educational classroom. Especially not a core curriculum classroom.
@LarsPorsena1@clayvc@jimstewartson Bible thumpers are consistently some of the most illiterate people I have ever met. Just look at the education scores and literacy rates of the Bible Belt compared to the rest of the country.
@AffluentMist how to disarm them to prevent further harm and danger to yourself.
We should all learn that kind of self defense. The kind of self defense that is appropriate force, that keeps you and others safe. And doesn't risk you getting unfairly in legal or civil trouble.
@AffluentMist We as a society really need to learn proper self defense in general
The problem is that when one kid hits another, and they basically respond in such a way that just makes it look like a mutual fist fight.
You dont have to beat someone up for punching you, you can learn
@KennySloth253@sephius1999 Unfortunately it seems I do not have a chapter near me. The site is offering me to apply to start one but I don't know maybe I will have to consider doing that!
@groove_sdc Please educate and explain to me why any of that is anti-blackness. I am open and willing to change my mind and my ways if you will candidly explain fully why those statements are anti-black.
I say this with no ill will and *some* animosity. I am a Democrat. I earned the nomination to be the person facing the Republican incumbent in Texas House District 132.
Over the last 18 months, I’ve built my own team using my OWN resources and collectively we have knocked on over 40,000 doors in that time.
Unless something crazy happens in the next 6 days, I will file a TEC report that shows that my campaign has ~$2,500 COH.
So when you say “Don't use our resources.” Literally what resources?
“Don't rely on our volunteers.” I’m sorry, WHOSE volunteers? Because you do not own volunteers.
“Don't use our infrastructure.” WHAT INFRASTRUCTURE? Because I am out here on an island in west Harris County and I may not even be able to afford yard signs ffs.
And last but not least: “Don't ask Democrats to invest their time, money, and energy in your campaign.”
Heard.
Loud and clear.
I won’t ask for anything.
I started this campaign knowing that this was a long shot. I had no money, no political experience or connections, and just a burning desire to just give something BETTER to my hometown than what they have now. And every part of my being is committed to achieving that goal.
And Jamie, I promise that I won’t use “your” resources to win.
God I hate politics.
@groove_sdc I will happily boo any politician who votes for or represents the forces, entities, and policies that actively harm and affect my life.
Corporate owned politicians should be booed all of the time, any where.
@ethanmwolf Moderates and centrists actively cheer for and push for diminishing the voices of progressive and left leaning voices in that tent you say you care so much about.
The dem party needs to stop punching left in the hopes of winning the racist, pedophile, voting pieces of shit over
Why do centrist dems simp so hard for a right wing extremist that actively enables and helps Trump? It's beyond sad to see them defend him and any criticisms of him. Conflating criticism of the Netanyahu government with antisemitism, should itself be considered antisemitic
@BookerGWash Acting like y'all don't have pictures hugging Bush and made tweets celebrating Cheney when he finally croaked and went to the deepest circle of hell just because they lightly criticized trump lmfao
