Let them practice their neoconfederate attempts at nullification. I personally prefer the Andrew Jackson to SC approach where he was mounting on their boarder to invade them, but thats not really necessary. Simply strip them of every source of funding imaginable and allow them to totally burn down then we can just go in and rebuild it untethered.

I don't remember any of my classmates in the 70s and 80s that wanted to be the other gender. None. Nobody ever suggested any such thing. If it's happening now, it's the teachers doing it. 100%

I don't know how many people you know in Maine, but I know quite a few that will straight up slay.
These cuckolds are playing with fire for sure.

I was thinking about this today.
On my street only one family appears to have younger kids.
The boy came over to my house one day looking to do some yard work and I’d say he was prob 12 or 13.
But I was wondering if it would suck to live out here as a kid, you aren’t just going down the street to your friends.
Now I had brothers so I’m sure it would be fine in that situation. But was still thinking it would suck living in the boonies away from friends and other shite as a kid.
But at least my neighbors son doesnt have people trying to give him a sex change.

Stupid article leaves out the part where those school districts first convince the child that he/she is transgender.

This is a violation of FERPA.
A good usage of the Dept of Education would be to have their OIG investigate those schools.

I started to watch your Expelled video with Ben Stein. I got 7 minutes into it. It’s a propaganda film and the first guy he interviews was expelled from his post at the national history museum because he was pushing creationism and intelligent design onto what is supposed to be scientific.
He can “question” all he wants from his living room, but don’t expect to be gainfully employed in an organization that publishes and promotes real science.
The guy actually said “Darwinism” when discussing biological evolution. He gave himself away. No real scientist calls it that. That is a term only used by religious kooks promoting creationism.
ETA:
It’s similar to how a historian or scholar of religion at a university can’t say Jesus never existed. At least, he can’t say that without getting fired, even though it’s what is most likely. The university has an image to maintain and when you go against the grain, you might get fired.

Well, it’s not my film, but, I’m nonetheless grateful that you tried to watch it.

Propaganda- information, ideas, or rumors deliberately spread widely to help or harm a person, group, movement, institution, nation, etc.
Yeah. I agree with you. It is a certain type of propaganda. It doesn’t help that it’s outdated, either. But. Where are the lies?

You mean Dr. Richard Sternberg? The evolutionary biologist with a phd in molecular biology and systems science? He had his career ruined because he published one article by Dr. Stephen Meyer that merely suggested that Intelligent Design (not creationism) might be able to explain how life began. That’s it. He published an article that suggested that scientific discourse should be had on the subject. As an evolutionary biologist, he felt that the ID proponents raised some important questions that should be addressed. What happened instead? He was pressured to resign, and the matter was neatly swept under the rug. A message was sent- don’t question the science. The science is settled. Crush the opposition; not by victory on the battlefield of ideas, but through authoritarian rule of the establishment. The documentary goes on to cite several more examples of exactly that.

See how that works?
Darwin is to scientific materialism, what Abraham is to Christianity and Judaism. How do you celebrate Darwin Day?

It absolutely is. How does that sit with you? Before you say that it’s no different than how it affects me, remember that my faith is not based in any scholarly consensus. I don’t need the precepts of men to arrive at the conclusion that my foundation rests on.

I’m a promoter of free speech. I’m also a promoter of an employer doing what they want to protect their image.
Personally I wouldn’t fire the creationist at the national history museum and I wouldn’t fire a hypothetical Jesus mythicist at a university such as UNC Chapel hill. Use words, and evidence, and reason and logic to get your point across. But it’s a tough call so I can see why someone might not approach it as I would.

We agree again. The truth speaks for itself. It does not need gimmicks and/or authoritarian protection to exist. But, what’s truly at the heart of this line of reasoning; that silences dissent and crushes intellectual query? (Bearing in mind that these are the arbitrary rules of those who control and benefit directly from lucrative man-made institutions) The answer is the same for both. It’s not about finding truth. It’s about protecting an ideology that one’s way of life (and income) is derived from. I can understand that from an institutional standpoint, but not from a personal perspective. Regardless of affiliation. Sounds like you agree.
If anything, it should give everyone reason to question everything- especially the motivations of those who claim to have the answers.
If you can’t prove something beyond reasonable doubt, then you are left with belief. That belief is based solely on your interpretation of the evidence. Your interpretation of the evidence is based solely upon your desired outcome. None of these things actually affect what is or is not true.
Oh yeah, stop calling ID proponents “creationists.” It reflects poorly on the confidence of your argument when you misrepresent your opponent. You’ll find many ID proponents who are theistic evolutionists. Creationists are a different category.

The fact that this kind of thing has yet to make it to SCOTUS after so many years of it being done and presented of it, is really amazing to me.

No, that isn’t science. Evolution of species is factual based on the overwhelming preponderance of evidence from chemistry, genetics, paleontology, archaeology, biological observation, geology, and the rest of the hard sciences. Only those who ignore that evidence (ignorant) or those who have never studied the sciences or scientific method and who have presuppositions based on a desire to believe in magic and myth can reject evolution. And it isn’t based on if anyone wants it to be true or not. The truth is the truth if you can show it to be the truth.
We also know Noah’s flood not only could not have happened, but we know it did not happen using all we have learned about our planet with the scientific method. I used the 7000 year old Yazidi calendar the other day that you didn’t like. There are individual pine trees in California that are over 5000 years old (older than the alleged time of Noah) and there’s some other trees in Tasmania that are 10,000 years old. There’s a colony of ash trees in Utah sharing identical genetics (technically a single organism) through the root systems that are 16,000 years old. The Chinese and Vietnamese also had calendars dating back to before the “time of Noah” and they kept on chugging never knowing about the flood.
What I want to have happened is irrelevant. I can see and touch Neanderthal bones in a museum and check out the DNA sequencing and dating to understand it is tens of thousands of years old. Homo Erectus is hundreds of thousands of years old. Verified based on the rock layers found in but also using radiometric dating (not carbon, but potassium argon). Noah’s flood never happened, but the flood of Shuruppak probably did really happen.

My fault for getting them confused. I know the Bible so well, and those “theistic evolutionists” must not. The 6 day creation and young earth is integral to Judaism and Christianity. For Christ’s sake! The temple was separated into the 7 days of creation with the veil representing the firmament that separated the holy space from the holy of holies. On the ceiling was painted the sun, moon, and stars including the 5 planets mercury, Venus, mars, Jupiter, and Saturn (which dangled inside or below the firmament). The priests wore robes of white, crimson, blue, and green to represent the elements of God’s creation. The holy of holies acted as a plug to keep the Tehom (great deep aka underground ocean) from re-flooding the earth. The sabbath was about god resting after creation. I don’t know what these “theistic evolutionists” are thinking - they probably aren’t. The Bible absolutely states the earth is a flat disk with a firm bubble on top holding the waters of outer space with the sun and moon inside the dome. Both the firmament and the earth are supported by great pillars. It’s baffling how someone could acknowledge scientific theories such as evolution and gravity but then claim to believe in the Bible.
Jesus was allegedly coming back to renew creation - the heavens and the earth. If you take creationism out of Christianity, you don’t have the same religion anymore. It’s all or nothing.
ETA:
It’s got to be cognitive dissonance. It’s like how Jesus was the rejection of the Aaronite/Zadokite priesthood and their scriptures (remember when “Jesus” tells the Pharisees or Sadducees that they do not know the scriptures?) and Christianity was a complete rejection of the second temple and second temple theology in favor of a return to the “true” priesthood of Melchizedek? Jesus and Paul completely rejected second temple beliefs and they had their own version of scriptures (e.g. 1 Enoch, Jubilees, different version of Isaiah) and then the dumb Christians trying to counter Markion of Sinope adopted the very Jewish scriptures (Masoretic text) that the earliest Christians actually rejected. And you guys know all this and you don’t care, because you don’t care what the truth is. You’re going to believe whatever you want to believe. Amazing that you can will yourself to believe something you know is untrue.
