My recent posts here have mostly been for shit and giggles, I do admit...

Re: Meanwhile, Texas
Fairy nuff, I guess "frothing at the mouth" to me makes it sound like I go too far. Frankly, I'm baffled that there are people who DON'T froth at the mouth at the mention of Republicans.

Re: Meanwhile, Texas
I don't think you go too far Seabass. I appreciate that you were aware of the threat before me, and have consistently sounded the alarm.

Re: Meanwhile, Texas
There are no required courses from a Federal level, it's set on a state or even local level. The bill has not passed the House yet. From what I can gather, it changes nothing - there was a bill, H.B> 3979, passed this session, requiring those civil rights courses, but it has never been in effect. This new bill removes those requirements. So they were never taught in schools to begin with. The headline is misleading, as is the article, which is hardly surprising given it's source.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.
