Not crop harvest in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois?

You sure about New York?



Looks like they harvest crops there too.

I said NYC or where the 17 million people are, and Dems want to keep them in place by throwing them some crumbs and cultivate the lifestyle

Learn some Geography geez

Well how are they going to accomplish large scale farming with all those buildings and asphalt?

And what about all of the progressives being grown in the Midwest?

Trump enabled bad behavior through victimhood.

“Among the things that Trump and Ramaswamy have in common is their encouragement to people to be their worst selves. Angry, upset, and lonely? Don’t turn to your family and your community, blame it on anyone (and everyone) else. But it’s easy and too many Americans are addicted.”

Ramaswamy, noun, From the Hindi word for (my) "pillow".

True, if you’re looking in a mirror.

I’m just “getting better at fighting back against the party that wants to control my life, and becoming more vocal about it. You are not used to it” so you call it lashing out.

You are correct, the people banning books & drag shows and boycotting Bud Light and Disney do have the erroneous perception that they have the moral high ground. They have thin skins and get very upset when their own words and tactics are used against them.

Nope. The I'm rubber, you're glue routine doesn't hold water here.

I could post numerous examples of all the spiteful, juvenile, mean spirited things trump has said about others and you would defend them as “fighting back against the party that wants to control your life” but me saying “maybe you’re too wrapped up in the perceived self righteousness of your cause/cult to see the similarities between the extreme right and extreme left” is lashing out? Put down the crack pipe.

Denial is the first step. You just can't handle when conservatives defend themselves.

I am a conservative and here you are getting upset with me defending myself and my opinions.

You can’t handle it when people point out the hypocrisy of trump and the MAGAt yahoos.

This country was colonized by self-perceived moral high-grounders that were so insufferable even the English couldn't stand their presence. Their legacy lives on with your crowd.

Illiberals exhibit it too but you would have to be lying or delusional to say the extreme right doesn’t as well.

Great research project on the institutionalization of slavery…especially regarding the Catholic Church and Georgetown University.

This stuff still needs to be taught.

“I am just not sure about what the reception would be,” she says, candidly, recalling a story from years ago when she offered to share some of her findings with a church during Black History Month but was overlooked. “I think it left me with a feeling that this isn’t necessarily welcome, even now, in some places in the Catholic church.”

The book, too, is published at a significant juncture in American politics, when the historiography of race and racism in the country has been censored in many states, and weaponized in the Republican presidential primary. It was not something the author had envisaged at the beginning of the reporting, which started about three years before the New York Times published the 1619 Project, a landmark study that has subsequently ignited a far-right backlash.

In late June of this year, the conservative supermajority on the supreme court effectively struck down race-conscious college admissions, a seismic blow for racial equity across the US. The decision was particularly pertinent at Georgetown, which has, since 2017, offered preferential admissions to descendants of those enslaved by Maryland’s Jesuits as part of a program of reparatory justice. The institution, like many others, is still grappling with how the ruling will affect broader admissions policy going forward. (Dozens of other US universities have also identified links to slavery as movements for reparatory justice sweep across campuses.)

It should be taught for free to the descendants of those affected. Its the least they could do and probably deductible.

Woke ass conks.

Explaining what I do as a chaplain is hard, and I often feel like the work is misunderstood. In light of what is coming out of the Texas Legislature, though, I must try. It’s because of my experience as a chaplain that I must voice my opposition to the half-baked idea to place unregulated chaplains in our public schools. Chaplains are not qualified to perform the work of school counselors, and putting us in this position would violate religious freedom protections for students and families. I’ve joined more than 100 Texas chaplains in signing an open letter to our state’s many school boards asking them to reject the opportunity to start a school chaplain program under a new law that takes effect Sept. 1.

For the most part, anyone can call himself or herself a “chaplain.” But institutions such as hospitals and the military require specific education and training for individuals to be employed as a chaplain. My colleagues and I, for example, all have a master of divinity or similar master’s degree from an accredited school. The chaplain’s focus is not the same as the pastor’s. We take a vow not to proselytize, and we are required to support people on their religious and spiritual journeys even if they look very different from our own. The new law allows Texas schools to hire chaplains to perform the work of school counselors, but these employees or volunteers would not be required to have specific certification, training or experience. It is my extensive training and experience that makes me a good chaplain; I am able to walk into a room and meet a person exactly where he or she is in the moment, regardless of faith.

Our Texas school children are a vulnerable population, and they deserve well-trained school counselors and staff to meet their needs. The law allocates funding for “providing mental health personnel and support, including chaplains,” but chaplains are not trained mental health providers. While we provide spiritual support and a listening ear, we are also trained to refer folks to mental health professionals as needed. Chaplains in public schools also raise significant concerns about the separation of church and state. I consider myself a deeply religious person, and this separation matters to me. It is a tangible expression of our First Amendment right to freedom for and from religion. This constitutional guarantee is especially important to safeguard in our public schools, where children of all religious backgrounds expect their religious freedom to be respected. Religious instruction is best left to houses of worship, other religious institutions and families.

A big chunk of the 1619 Project is historically accurate and should be taught. They went off the rails when they pushed teaching theory as fact.

I’ve been clear where I stand on teaching CRT to students as fact but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be teaching historical facts because some thin skinned pansies can’t face the fact that their ancestors were racists.
