    When mine go off about Liberals it’s usually incoherent and revolves around Communism, Socialism and allowing the Chinese to take over.

    My wife is a teacher, one lady came up to her at the beginning of the year and asked "Do you guys teach Critical Race theory here?" and my wife said...."I dunno, can you describe what that is, and I will tell you if we teach it.".......the lady walked away.

    So is mine. She got called into the office because a parent complained that they had heard she had "BANNED" books and they found that she had Of Mice and Men which is on the banned books list at her school district now.... They didn't fire her but basically the principle had to cover for her that there's no evidence that she has banned books anymore, and I guess it got dropped from there.

    Yeah... OF MICE AND MEN....

    The 2022 Republican Party folks.

    What grade is she teaching?

    That sounds like a busy body student or another teacher who is MAGA.

    There is no. way principals are firing actual teachers over **** like that.

    Always interesting to see how corporations and jerb creators get a pass for the 30 year period of offshoring jobs to Jina.

    Must be a Grand Commie Conspiracy Libs pulled on Murca for these CEOs to pocket the difference and evade reshoring taxes back to the American public.

    We are so brainwashed to be fed the Invisible Hand after it's being used to wipe the asses of the 1%.

    It’s the liberals fault because we tax them too much and force the EPA, OSHA, etc on them.

    So they had to go to China and exploit their workers for slave wages and Upton Sinclair “The Jungle” style work conditions.

    But Apple only made $123B in EBITDA last year. If they didn’t manufacture in China how could they possibly survive?

    No way. The principals hate this crap more than anyone. They have a target on their back bigger than any teacher, are dealing with shortages, have no subs, and they are just trying to survive until they can get to another school district. Given what my wife teaches, she has content regularly going through a review process and that goes out to parents. Some of which are best buds with the new MAGA school board members who are gunning for scalps.

    I don't want to dox my wife on here by giving too much information but if I told you the school, and what she teaches you'd probably recall seeing stuff in the news, and it would make a bit more sense. It's definitely not that intense in most school districts I'm sure. She teaches at the DFW version of Houston area super conservative cities like Friendswood or the Woodlands.

    Really hard for some to throw that ladder back down now that they got theirs.

    Apple is playing 4D chess and is beloved by all. If only governments could be more like a efficiently run 2 Trillion dollar corporation like Apple.

    It's kind of low key the American Way. Granted, we try more than others but we aren't leading the pack in idealism either.

    Cons are more upfront about it, but the homelessness problem in our cities tell us it's not a partisan mindset.

    Seems like a recipe for trouble, but maybe the nation will stand together and pass real reform? :oops::(

    I'm glad to b livin in solid blue California. My parents, aunt and uncles could b anti liberals or down the rabbit hole of republican all they want. I just have to remind them that their votes or mine ain't changing the color so it's pointless for them to rant to me about it or make me listen to the nonsense. That pretty much ends any political talk.

    I Feels sorry for folks in battleground states or families so heavily invested in politics that it breaks family apart.
