    well they are citizens and they elect the board, so if the board doesn't comply, they won't be re-elected

    I think Dearborn is a majority Muslim city
    Christian and non religious parents supported them because the books weren’t appropriate for their children

    Which is one way of saying Muslims and Christians aren't all that different..... hell, I think some of y'all are jealous of the Muslim theocracies.

    I think the best definition of “wokeness”, free of any particular ideological slant, is keeping one’s eyes wide open to how some members of society, particularly oneself or one’s community, are oppressed or discriminated against.

    If forms of oppression and discrimination do exist, then being “woke” about it is a good thing.

    Where the Right come from is a disbelief against widespread oppression/discrimination targeting historically marginalized groups. It follows that “wokeness” is false belief system, emblamatic of all the various ways in which the Left see victims that do not actually exist.

    As has been pointed out, many on the Right also claim victimhood. But because their claims must be true, it's not "woke", which had become associated in their minds with a false belief in victimhood.

    There definitely is a growing contingent of right wing folks that are very jealous of Muslim theocracies. At this point I think it's more than some, a good chunk of them.

    blowing a whistle in in an old lady's (or anyone else's) ear is assault

    the reason nobody stops the guy is because they all know he is untouchable in DC

    Agreed. Can't we all just get along? With whistles?

    I do have to commend you on taking down the AR15 profile pic you've had. Kudos.

    I assumed they were together... apparently not. My bad, carry on to the next outrage.

    And yes, that's a jackass.

    More people should carry personal defense "zappers". It'd definitely move an a****le out of your way.
