@LindaCollins11 @thepoliticalcat A cursed apple. Hrmm…so maybe the Bible was written by the same person as Snow White? So many fairy tales have common themes.
@moliver @cautionarytale@mastodon.world Regardless of color, right?! And the smell of raw bells is just sickening. They are the only thing I will NOT eat.
Take Michael Knowles' speech and replace "Transgenderism" with "Judaism" and maybe you'll see why this is a problem.
@adriennelacava @ThunderousProphet Especially!
If Florida schools choose not to teach important subjects in their curriculum, could the Department of Education and individual state Boards of Education declare diplomas issued at those schools invalid in other states?
@yoused Holy crap! That’s the most Alabama thing I’ve ever heard.
@jeffmoore @edutooters @edutooter Interesting thread, lots of reading to check on. My naive assumption was that Conservative objection was primarily to taxes that go to public schools. The donor class doesn't send their children to public schools so they see those taxes, in particular, as theft.
All the other talking points like imaginary CRT, specific books in libraries, parental oversight, are just to rile up the idiot base against their own best interests.
@Ronnie @habibcham@mastodon.social Hah!
Harvard Professor Cornell W. Brooks brilliantly dissects the GOP attacks on 'CRT' and reveals the danger of Ron DeSantis's demagoguery and its threats to the nation. A new episode of the Weekend Show airs live at 8p ET/5p PT! https://youtu.be/5VocwmyZp04

For those who don’t know: The way Masotodon federation works, your server only knows about other servers that its members follow folks on (and I think there is some further scoping-down from there). So if you see a viral post, that may have hundreds of responses from folks on small Mastodon instances that don’t peer with yours, so you can’t see them. But the author of the post can!
It’s like hosting a Q&A session in a big auditorium with 1,000 people where many people think it’s a crowd of 10.
We're heading full-speed toward full-on white Christian nationalist rule, first in the states and then nationwide, as Republicans at all levels and in all branches rush to oppress all Americans and secure their own undemocratic control before their base dwindles into a permanent minority.
WaPo: "Florida bills would ban gender studies, transgender pronouns, tenure perks
A raft of laws proposed by the GOP majority would transform how Florida educates children"
