Re: Ciel
Thank you for this nailed it comment. I was angry for a year over one particular historical lie about the Buffalo soldiers, the garrison at Ft. Huachucha following the Civil War. Got a clue about the real story from a guide on a historic train excursion who was dressed as an army scout from that era. You're right - kids (and grownups too) want and need to be given the facts. They will make good decisions if that happens.

Mostly no one seems to understand CRT, but it translates in practical terms to exposing the historic events that show so clearly that ethnic difference as seen in skin color has been the means of keeping color out of positions of power and strength. This is what terrifies the knee-jerking conservatives so much, rousing their fear of White/European Supremacy being called, finally, to account, to own the wrong and the shame of it. Then they turn it on the kids, making it about their being made to feel bad about being White/Euro Americans. Evidence shows, however, that kids want to know about these things. They want to know real history, and to be in a position not to continue the cruelty and bigotry.

It is scary knowing those people are in power, isn't it?

Re: It may be the thing you read was from the time he was
senate majority leader. I don't think he can do it now, as there's a 50-50 split in the senate now, with democrats having the tie-breaker vote with the Vice President's. I'm staying off my soapbox, but I agree with you about men in power who don't play fair where women are concerned.

I totally agree with what is posted here. I was horrified today to read in my news feed on my Phone that Moscow Mitch. says he will not have any one join this court while Biden and the Democrats have the majority. What can Americans do about this???

Good afternoon
The race game is extremely antiquated. People really need to come up with the times. Color, sex, age, etc. really needs to not be considered so long as the qualifications for the job are in place.
