Lessons of History and Trying To Avoid the Same Mistakes

I do hate to break this to you and all others.

Republican parents DO HAVE TRANS CHILDREN, TOO. !!!!!!

And many of those Republican parents are NOT HAPPY with the way the Republican Party has been attacking their Trans children.


Since you have no knowledge on the subject and truly could NOT CARE LESS about any of those families, it would be nice if you stayed away from what you keep hearing from the GOP, and tried to listen more to experts and the schools and the sports and what THEY are going to decide to do with Trans kids in sports.


Really !!!

Nobody is attacking trans children by saying that children must participate in the sport that matches their biological age. Seriously, this shouldn’t even have to be said, but near insanity driven by ideology has become “normal” to some people, many psychiatrists included. You should keep in mind that trans is a VERY small percentage of people, albeit growing thanks to grooming by the left. The minority is boisterous and gets all the press, but they are still the minority by far.

In the battles over gun rights, a shadowy English nobleman from the 17th century has unexpectedly taken center stage. Who was he? What did he do that has — 300 years later — endeared him to a generation of legal scholars? Revisionist History explores the cult of personality around the mysterious Sir John Knight.

The longest running television series of the 20th century was Gunsmoke, a western set in the notorious Dodge City, Kansas. Malcolm sweeps away mountains of legal scholarship to make a bold claim: The simplest explanation for the Supreme’s Court’s puzzling run of gun rights decisions may be that the justices watched too much Gunsmoke when they were growing up.

New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham issued an emergency order over the weekend suspending the right to carry firearms in public across Albuquerque and the surrounding county for at least 30 days. Grisham said she expects legal challenges but was compelled to act because of recent shootings in Albuquerque, including the death of an 11-year-old boy outside a minor league baseball stadium this week. Contrast Grisham's actions with the official policy of the GOP, which has spent decades doing everything in its power to accelerate the unfettered flow of deadly firearms into the hands of killers, and ask yourself what Republicans actually mean when they scream "FaMiLy VaLuEs!"

Students applying to Florida's state universities will now be able to submit exam scores from a conservative and Christian-backed alternative to the SAT and ACT, known as the Classic Learning Test.

The CLT is most commonly taken by students who are in private schools or home-schooled. Over 200 colleges currently accept the test, many of which are small, private or faith-based. The test was launched in 2015.

On Friday, the governing board for Florida's state university system approved the exam for undergraduate admissions — making Florida the first state in the country to accept the CLT on a wide scale.

It's the latest change pushed by Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis, who has set out to overhaul the state's schools and fight against what he calls "woke indoctrination."

Prior to the governing board's vote, the CLT scores were already allowed in applications to Florida Bright Futures, a statewide scholarship program.

Here's what to know:

What is it?​

The CLT is based on a classical education model. Like the name suggests, it focuses on classical texts like Shakespeare and Aristotle. But it was also born out of concerns that today's education relies too heavily on "current trends in American culture and legislation."

Its board of academic advisers includes conservative activists such as Christopher Rufo and Mark Bauerlein, as well as people affiliated with religious schools like Hillsdale College.

The exam is two hours, about an hour shorter than the SAT and ACT. It's taken online and divided into three sections — verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning, and grammar and writing. The essay portion of the test is optional.

In a practice test provided by the CLT, passages are used from Plato's The Republic, Cicero's On Friendship and Thomas à Kempis' Imitation of Christ.

How does it compare to the SAT and ACT?​

The CLT calls itself a more "more rigorous and comprehensive measure" than the SAT and ACT. But organizations behind both tests say otherwise.

The College Board, which oversees the SAT, said there is little evidence proving the CLT can adequately assess college preparedness. It specifically pointed out that in a CLT practice test, a quarter of math questions appeared "below high school grade level" and statistics concepts were not tested.
