Strange, ain't it, that parents will trust their kid with an assault rifle but not trust them with a school book.

They trust killer cops but not the library.

Certain parents, anyway.

University System of Georgia to keep names on buildings with ties to slavery and white supremacy - WP
The University System of Georgia’s governing board on Monday rejected the recommendation of an advisory group to rename 75 buildings and colleges on campuses across the state that honor individuals who supported slavery, racial segregation and other forms of oppression.

Among the buildings at issue are more than two dozen at the flagship University of Georgia. Aderhold Hall, according to the advisory group’s report, is named for a 20th-century president of the university, Omer Clyde “O.C.” Aderhold, who was a “committed segregationist.”

Also on the Athens campus, according to the report, are Lipscomb Hall, named for Andrew Adgate Lipscomb, a university chancellor in the 19th century who was an enslaver and author of an anti-immigrant tract, and Candler Hall, named for Allen Daniel Candler, a Confederate Army veteran who later became governor of Georgia and advocated for segregation and disenfranchisement of African Americans.

Those and other buildings were recommended to be renamed in a report from the Naming Advisory Group, which was formed in June 2020 shortly after the murder of George Floyd, a Black man, during an arrest in Minneapolis. The group was chaired by Marion Ross Fedrick, president of Albany State University. The historically Black university is one of 26 schools in the Georgia system.
White power.

Another non-answer. You demand Carmen list 3-Things that make "THE U.S.A. Great" and then you post this crap.

For the record, USA is or was a city in Japan. U.S.A. is a country.
Love of Country is not Blind Patriotism. It is not devotion to one person or one party. It is knowing fighting for your country is single most important thing you can do. Do not accept the notion violence is the answer.

The only people who even use that phrase anymore are conservatives and/or entitled snowflakes who think what they say is somehow beyond critique.

Cancel culture.

‘It Just Felt Wrong’: U. of Florida Faculty Say Political Fears Stalled an Initiative on Race - Chronicle of Higher Education (may be paywalled)
nother University of Florida professor has accused the institution of violating his academic freedom to ward off possible action by state lawmakers. In this instance, the scholar says, administrators intruded upon curricular matters, recommending, for one, that faculty members avoid the word “critical” in the title of a new doctoral concentration related to race.

The episode — as laid out in a grievance submitted on Sunday by the faculty union — paints a portrait of university administrators who are hesitant to rile a potentially hostile Republican Legislature, and who are willing to compromise faculty autonomy to avoid essentially poking the bear. The actions described are at odds with stated academic-freedom principles and could “tarnish” the university’s reputation, reads the grievance.

The complaint comes on the heels of news that UF had barred scholars from testifying in litigation against the state, which provoked outcry that the institution was buckling to partisan pressure. The university quickly reversed course and has said there was no undue external influence.

MLK, a pacifist, makes karen very nervous.

Right-wing moms group wants to use Tennessee’s “critical race theory” law to ban MLK Jr. book - Salon
Moms for Liberty claim that teaching the history of civil rights has "traumatized" white children
:roll:

They should try being the Black children they terrorized as children, themselves, for a couple seconds.
Tennessee chapter of the right-wing group Moms for Liberty has tried to use the state's new law aimed at banning "critical race theory" in school to ban a book about Martin Luther King Jr.

Tennessee Republicans earlier this year passed a law in response to the conservative panic about "critical race theory," barring the teaching of certain concepts in classrooms including "teaching that one race or sex is inherently superior to another; ascribing character traits, values, moral or ethical codes to a specific race or sex; that the United States is fundamentally racist or sexist or that a meritocracy is inherently racist or sexist," according to The Tennessean. Critics argue that Republicans in Tennessee and around the country are trying to ban the teaching of history they don't like.

The first complaint filed to the state came from Robin Steenman, chair of the Moms for Liberty chapter in Williamson County, just south of Nashville. The 11-page complaint claims that the state's widely used Wit and Wisdom literacy curriculum has a "heavily biased agenda" that makes kids "hate their country, each other and/or themselves."

The complaint took issue with several books in the curriculum, including Frances Ruffin's "Martin Luther King Jr. and the March on Washington" and the autobiographical "Ruby Bridges Goes to School: My True Story." The complaint also cites "photographs of white firemen blasting Black children to the point of 'bruising their bodies and ripping off their clothes.'"

"The classroom books and teacher manuals reveal both explicit and implicit Anti-American, Anti-White, and Anti-Mexican teaching," the complaint said. "Additionally, it implies to second grade children that people of color continue to be oppressed by an oppressive 'angry, vicious, scary, mean, loud, violent, [rude], and [hateful]' white population and teaches that the racial injustice of the 1960s exists today."
They just don't want their own violent, rude, loud, hateful pictures showing up in their kids' history books.
Steenman is also personally ineligible to file the complaint, since her child attends private school to avoid COVID mask mandates, according to Reuters.
Lol classic. That's not all she's sending her snotnose brat to private school to avoid, either.

The GOP attacks free and fair elections, attempted to overturn a free and fair election, incited an attack on The Capital, and has members in office who constantly tweet out threats to other members of congress or create videos showing them blowing away “socialists.” But it’s liberals who hate America.

There are a lot of positive things about our country. There are a lot of great Americans. There are positive aspects of American history. Yes, there was the Confederacy, but there also was the abolitionist movement. I am quite proud American military forces in WW II convinced that German punk of a leader to retreat to his bunker and commit suicide. Good work, guys. A lot of great musical genres started here.

But c'mon. This exceptionalist belief is just BS. Accepting that like any country, it's done good and bad things, and contains and has contained good and bad people, ... "greatest on Earth and in the history of man?" Oh please. This is the kind of opinion that's hard to debate empirically, but yes it just strikes me as ridiculous.

On the latter part, how much of the "history of man" do you know? :roll:

His worldview is typically provincial, ignorant, arrogant, and elitist. He's definitely not talking about Chicago™ or The Inner Cities™ when peddling this idea of how much better the US supposedly is than everywhere else. :problem:

Since when does any person of any political party have to define for YOU, their reasons why you should take a shit? Your question is subjective and open to personal interpretation. Who in the fuck are YOU to ask such a question and what makes you think that you have a right to ask such a question???????

The ridiculous complaint is another one of his diversion/trolling tactics, to avoid the fact of his ignorance about CRT.

Glenn and other Cons are ready to decide who does and/or does not love America in that only way Cons want you to. This is behavior out of 1930's Nazi Germany. "Are You a Good German or Are You A Bad German?" If you did NOT love Hitler you were a Bad German.

As long as you list things that Glenn and other Cons want you to....You're A Good American. IF you do not love America Glen and others Cons do.....You're A Bad American.

To which I say, Fuck That. I ain't gotta and I ain't gonna.

Every single last one. And most of that was overturning these white cons' sh#tty laws, public policies, and violent social norms.

How interesting, that this WS doesn't consider entire ongoing threads called Amen Corner, Hello, Bye, and Civil Rights Progress to be "something positive about our country," I guess since those are all things that make confederates cry. :problem:

Same.

I'm always going to fail conservative litmus testing and this emotionally stunted, nationalistic loyalty policing, and I am very glad for it. It's saved my life, no joke.
