I get the point. For argument sake and providing context it should be important to show the opposing views whether wrong or right.

You can't just show one side and then that be all. Have the kids write a comparative report and flesh out the reasoning. By only concern is the age, I feel maybe this should be left up to seniors and college .
This is Devil’s Advocating though. Context is fine and appropriate but “opposing viewpoints”- “what if it didn’t happen?” Or “it’s exaggerated” is absurd, etc etc

Instilling that in children/hs minds is dangerous.

No, you can't teach things that are just factually wrong. You might as well teach flat earth theory in school if you go down that road. :rudy:

Can’t tell if they’re :mjpls: trolls or legitimately fukking stupid

It's both. I'm not :cape:for Jews, but history is history, and people like this Texas school official wants to change that. Which wasn't so much the case when everything in this country was solidly lily white. If people can't see what exactly is being done then I don't know what to say. Some of it is trolls who know just how fukking stupid people are, and know their disinformation will sway them to willful inaction. But like I said in another thread, I'm about done caring. I'm at about 65% and I'm researching exit plans.

That's a good question is yhe state of Israel or AIPAC gonna make an official statement condemning the state of Texas or is it just crickets...:mjpls: they been came for us but when they come for others the main ones that should be fighting this quiet as a fukking mouse...

AIPAC will be likely be silent. Sure, Holocaust denial will be taught, but Texas also has those anti-BDS laws in place. Unwavering support for the Israeli government is what AIPAC truly cares about.

This. I can see anti-semitism as a disgusting arm of white supremacy…AND still try to get to the bottom of why we pay Israel so much money as a country.:pachaha:I’m find an answer one day.

It would be a different story if the people surrounding and beefing with Israel were Nordic looking Christians. Israelis are mostly shrimpy European cacs with some olive skinned Arabs thrown in. Run of the mill “blue lives matter” and “I have a black friends but....” WS GOP sycophants just view them as regular cacs. The Jews they don’t like are just called “globalists” and “elites.”

only old school racists that casually drop hard -er’s and un-ironically say Jew York City have kept that death to Israel energy. They’d also say “fukk the feds” before “back the blue.” They may be human garbage but at least they’re more internally consistent :mjlol:.
