What's always fucked my brain is that John Adams and John Quincy Adams (#2 and #6) didn't own slaves.
It's so easy to think of all these dudes as just a product of their times. Buuutttttt there are two presidents right off the bat that refused to own slaves, were against slavery, and plainly stated we wouldn't be free until all the slaves were free. Sooooo wtf the rest of y'all?
I wonder what people thought of those two day to day. Was being slave owning or against it just as casual as having an opinion on tax policy? Or was it more visceral like political party, but still accepted that people are on both sides? Or was it like abortion where people secretly/publicly hated the opposite opinion but both might get elected?

I think it was casual. I don’t know politically as I tried to, after reading a specific book and not get caught up in the author’s opinions but stick to the facts, as he was very “socialist minded”.
Personally, I believe in white supremacy until the blacks are educated to the point of responsibility.

Yeh I try to avoid these conversations on line since I suspect most people have already chosen their team on the topic as a whole
But there are some major issues with the broad nature of something like the dont say gay bill
lets say a gay kid is bullied and sent to the principle* for an argument with another kid.
Neither the principal, teacher, nor guidance counselor is even allowed to discuss the issue at hand. Not even to assure that the child is okay mentally
Unfortunately, some homophobic citizens and politicians hear the word "gay" and they automatically relate it to sexual perversion
Another more basic example would be a teacher returning from a vacation. The kids may say "where were you?" And a male teacher wouldn't be allowed to say he went on vacation with his husband. The same for a female teacher and her wife
Basically, these broad laws explicitly and implicitly cause gay people to feel as if they are not equals. It's a shame
* that spelling was for CMNH
It was something John Wayne infamously said.
Shows how recently things are fucked up re race relations, that kind of attitude being casually given in an interview for a major publication.
Some people are calling for cameras in classroom to monitor teachers
I dont have kids. But if I did, I wouldn't want random parents to have be able to watch my kids at school. That's crazy

@kneeblock is this true?
It wasn’t a coincidence I referenced Hondo
The interview was in 1971
Not exactly yesterday

well I'll be damned
“I believe in white supremacy until the blacks are educated to a point of responsibility,” Wayne had said. “I don’t believe in giving authority and positions of leadership and judgment to irresponsible people.”

Sorry, I didn't realize the thread was CRT when I wrote that
Here's better wording on that tho. Hb 1557 has broad terms such as "instruction" that effectively intimidate school systems and teachers about being sued for mentioning anything related to sexual orientation
As a result, gay staff now feel threatened to hide who they are as if being gay is something wrong
Can straight teachers talk about their relationships?
The problem is the implicit threat of law suits
Straight people aren't a marginalized community. So Straight teachers don't show up to work afraid of mentioning their partner
Here's a better example. Let's say a gay kid is bullied and wants to speak to the teacher. The teacher is unable to have an honest conversation about how the kid is not weird or bad for being gay
Supporters of the bill would say that a teacher should not be allowed to have that conversation. They say the parents should be notified
But some kids parents are homophobes. Those kids don't want their parents to know. But this bill initimates schools from offering the proper mental health counseling out due to the threat of lawsuits
So basically, the law will negatively effect LGBTQ students in various ways. It may even lead to otherwise avoidable suicides by LGBTQ kids
