People with a mindset like yours are the last thing sane parents want their kids exposed to. I believe the education board rebellion in this country is because people are tired of people like you. So congratulations on making people want to distance themselves from people like you.

kids are going to experience things that their parents don't want them to every day, every generation, for the rest of humanity. you learned and did things your parents didn't want you to, your children have learned and done things you didn't want them to, and so on and so forth. it's just part of being human.

the concept of having rights over another person is absurd on its face. the only other time it's been argued is in defense of slavery. children are people, man. their parents have responsibilities for them and some decision-making capabilities (and i'd say that making those decisions unilaterally rather than with the child's wants in mind is bad parenting, but that's not a legal issue), but that doesn't follow into being given extra rights. argued another way, parents are not the only people invested in their children's education: your kids are going to be my neighbors, colleagues, and generally part of my community. it takes a village and all that.

lol at your grammar policing in 2025 with people using portable devices. AP chemistry teacher, 25, in her second year of teaching AP chemistry. First day of class during introductions and syllabus review the teacher brags about how hard the class is and in fact is so hard, not a single student the previous year earned any college credit for her course. By the end of the first semester, 6 of the 9 kids in the class drop it due to her incompetence. Now the remaining 3 have no option but to take another class for the 2nd semester. The idiot teacher was to dumb to know that she should have been evaluated based on how many earned credit, not bragging that none did. She was eventually suspended for inappropriate comments to students, including the use of excessive profanity. She had no business being in the teaching profession. Funny, never had a problem with anything remotely close to that at my youngest's private school.

Well, if pubs would start putting money into public education, instead of taking from it, perhaps that teacher could've received the support she needed to improve as an educator.

I remember a good friend who taught in a high school in Maine…..a school in a Trumplican part of Maine……she called the mother of a student…….the student was struggling……not because the material was too difficult……the student had mental health issues.

The mother’s response? “Do not call me. She’s at school. She’s YOUR responsibility.” Click.

I recall reading stories about Confederate soldiers on the way home would pick the undigested kernels of corn out of the manure of Union cavalry's horses and washing it and grinding it to make corn meal mush. Can you imagine how desperate someone would have to be to wade through that much horseshit for something worthwhile?

There’s actually something like that today—it’s called civet coffee, or “cat poop coffee.” It’s considered some of the best in the world, supposedly. These animals—civets, which don’t really look like cats—eat the coffee cherries and then pass the beans through their digestive systems undigested. The beans are then collected, cleaned, processed, and brewed.


I actually had a cup of it once in Bali. Honestly? It was a really good cup of coffee.

Remember, Maine is home to “pearl clutching” Susan Collins.

Newport, ME is INLAND MAINE. That’s Trumplican Country. No clue if the Flaggs are Trumplicans…….they are from Inland Maine.

Damn. I was holding that in reserve for when someone told me what an unlikely story the one I told was. Yeah, I heard about that that a while back.
 
At the risk of dragging the thread back on topic, is this type of scathing rebuttal typical In SCOTUS opinions?

At risk of asking a question i dont want the answer to...do you follow someone who apparently is still fascinated with voter turnout 5 years ago and uses a naked male torso as their profile pic?

Biden had tough questions? I mean he had cards with the questions and answers printed with reporter’s photo next to it.
 
I was born here but I’ve said ugly things about our micropenis president (no offense intended for anyone else with a micropenis,) how long before I am deported. El Salvadoran prison? Russia? China? Ooh ooh North Korea?

Agree. And as for the idiotic zerohedge commentary, I get the concern about the power of district judges when they issue universal injunctions. But the only way Barrett’s comment about the imperial judiciary makes any sense is if you ignore the existence of the court on which she herself sits. That’s the difference between her concerns and Jackson’s. Her opinion is not just enabling an imperial presidency, but is also neutering the ability of the Supreme Court to exercise its own constitutional power in response to executive illegality. It’s an expansion of the power of the president from both ends.

There's a specific subtext to this particular dispute not entirely apparent in the opinions, which I will describe later when I have a chance.

No, it’s the 6 Justices (including Roberts) telling Brown to take her Critical Legal Studies reasoning and put it where the sun don’t shine.

Nothing Jackson wrote has anything to do with CLS, as anyone who knows anything about CLS or frankly the law would know. You assume she's doing CLS because she's black. What she wrote, actually, is sort of the opposite of CLS.

This is also why the avowed white supremacists at zerohedge liked that "nuke from orbit." It was no nuke at all; it was a tepid response that didn't really answer any of her arguments and is frankly embarrassing coming from Amy Coney Barrett. But "Ketanji" is black so they revel in it, having no understanding of what is at stake.
 
Serious question for you, Ram, while you’re here. Are you comfortable with the massive expansions of executive power the Supreme Court has established over the last few terms? When a Democrat is back in the White House, will you be comfortable with him or her being only minimally constrained by the judicial process and being totally immune from any liability for his her acts while in office, no matter how lawless? I know this probably feels good to you guys right now while your own autocrat is in the White House, but do you think you’ll still like what this conservative court has done when it’s ours?
