Why are you some comfortable with anyone other than you making that judgement on your behalf? They certainly don't have your interests at heart. Wouldn't you rather be presented with all the facts so you can decide what's relevant or worth consideration?
Yes, I agree. We're getting sidelined back into debate about the actual bill. Whether you support that or not, it shouldn't be ok that the government passes legislation to punish corporations for opposing it... if you believe in liberal democracy, that is.
It's a case of wait and see, but, anything Randolph said should be easily disputed if he was incorrect or being overtly partisan. Let's see how the GOP in Florida and Orange County respond and what happens if and when RCID is dissolved
I agree with you. It seems like some others don’t agree on the punish discussion. They are perfectly fine with the government taking action to silence critics. Strange times we live in.
They’re still unequal. How do you present the other side to the governor’s claims? Randolph can’t respond to a completely unknown hypothetical, all he can do is baselessly speculate, which digs further into the hole of not being balanced.
Sloganing is one thing. Accusing people of being groomers is a whole other thing - bordering on slander.
And how many of those were presented with the quotes from the bills author stating it was being put in to stop turning kids gay/trans as if that is something you can be trained for? How many were told that many attempts to add clarifying language to limit the bill to its publicized intent were shot down?
So why should the last word be something that cannot be substantiated or refuted? Why is it not balanced to say “The governor had this passed and here is a respond from the local tax official on the implications”? Why is it more fair to go back to include one side’s hypotheticals and not the other’s?
Your original post accused all teachers of a certain political affiliation that they were going to ignore their teaching guidelines and push their agenda onto little children “inappropriate or not” and hold your children “captive”.
Been waiting 13 years for a plan that was going to be "easy"
of course it’s just as popular. But until the courts actually rule on whether this specifically is a violation of it, the back and forth is going to continue.
I don't know about that...One of my HS history teachers was also in charge of the school newspaper. The newspaper regularly won state level awards, but a number of times he had to go up against the school administration to defend - I'll call it freedom of the press. (Though technically, students do have a few limits on what they are allowed to print. (for specifics see: Tinker v. Des Moines)) He usually won, though the administration did not appreciate losing.
Disney isn't attacking anyone. They are defending (albeit after a disappointing delay) their LGBTQI Cast Members.
Sure it’s not proven in the courts yet, but can you honestly say you are comfortable with a Governor punishing a corporation for speaking out against him? Just curious what your thoughts are since we’ve had some pretty level headed back and forth on other topics. IMHO whatever side people come down on with the original bill there should be a great deal of concern over the aspect of government retaliation. Even if the courts rule it’s technically legal that doesn’t mean it’s a good direction to head.
Ok, here's a different example:
Do you notice something missing from that article?
None of what you mentioned falls into the category of what is being discussed. Challenging thinking.. heated debates on a subject dealing with current events or a issue relevant to the actual class you are in are all greats forms of learning. Kudos to the teachers and the school you attended.
I'd say that being called various "phobe"s and "ist"s without merit also borders on slander.
