Oh look, a public school teacher forcing.....RELIGION....upon students. Child students, at that. THIS is why some of us so vehemently defend the Wall of Separation. Georgia School Pays Up After Teacher Tells First Grader His Mom Is Bad Because She Doesn't Believe in God

This is just....beyond sick. And what is more sick is that it is simply the natural result of what the NRA, their pocketed politicians, and a brainwashed, brutal percentage of the American population have built. 11-year-old ‘bully’ murdered 8-year-old neighbor with a shotgun after dispute...

Tell me again how this ISN'T racism, and ISN'T voter fraud. Alabama to stop issuing driver’s licenses in counties with 75% black registered voters

It won't and can't fade away as long as children continue to be indoctrinated at home "to hate all the people your relatives hate," as long as we who attempt to be enlightened indoctrinate our kids to be "colorblind," and as long as white American adults continue to go through life with their...

This is a beautiful, terrifying, tearjerking exploration of the problem with how this country deals with the racism which makes up far too much of our national and cultural bedrock. I, Racist Sadly, the people who most need to receive this message will be the first to turn their noses up at...

Posting this in Politics because it deals with how political demonstrations of racism and sexism get in under the radar via a religious umbrella, among other things. When Slavery Won't Die: The Oppressive Biblical Mentality America Can't Shake
