It is what they represent. The acts of the humans behind those efforts is what is important.
No the swastika isn’t evil in and of itself. It’s the people they represent. It’s the arm lockers in this case.
Evil or misguided people, are the problem.
Man, if you hate our people and nation so much, leave.
Well, schools can’t actually compell students to attend (see the growth of Homeschooling) however I believe that education itself is compulsory, and I don’t think it’s a free speech issue.
Also, grades aren’t a free speech issue either. This is something I’m pretty familiar with, I teach US History to grade 7’s.
Thank you for your input.
As long as kids are in a school program, I believe you are right about compelling them to attend public schools.
If they aren’t in a program, I believe they are required by law to attend to a certain age.
Perhaps that is no longer the law of the land. I’d like to think kids would have to be involved by law, in an education program until 16.
Doing a little digging around and it appears to be State laws and not Federal which govern compulsory education.

Every State makes it compulsory, though the ages at which it is compulsory vary from a high of ages 5 to 18 (Arkansas, Connecticut, DC, Hawaii, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Virginia) to a low of ages 7 to 16 (Alaska, Idaho, Montana, N. Carolina, N. Dakota, Wyoming). Pennsylvania requires it from 8 to 17 years which is the same spread as 7-16.
Did you cure some of them of their boredom ? ;-)
Eventually I found one who was tolerant of a Mississippi ruffian from lower station
Thes were the kind of kids left with a governess type person all summer while mom and dad took extended European vacations separately
It was weird...I went to Jackson mississippi most of second most prestigious private school but these kids were on another stratosphere economically
Jackson had maybe 20 homes as big as these which numbered in the 1000s
North Dallas.....the old Carruth farm.....was oil money mostly then
One of the girls was a Moncreif.....wildcatting fortune
My buddy was a son of a man who owned a chunk of Kemmons Wilson Holiday Inn chain and a ton of auto dealerships from Mississippi
He died young sadly from a wasp bite
They knew a major Dallas architect.....Tom Smith I think....and his son was a segue to that rich kid crowd
I was used to rich kids but nothing like that....it was like Beverly Hills I guess
The Smith family was wonderful and non pretentious and lived in a mount Vernon like home right off Inwood near where Bush lives
Dallas was always my fav big city growing up though I went to New Orleans a bit more....closer
My daddy said “ son that is some fancy company you’re keeping over there in Dallas”
Sounds like you ought to write a book. My aunt and uncle lived for a brief time in Houston in the ‘70s (well, in the more upscale area of Kingwood, recently badly flooded by Harvey). They wanted me to come live with them (and then would’ve moved on to Switzerland), but my mother wouldn’t stand it. Would’ve been better for me in the long run, alas. Anywhere other than Antioch.
Oh, by all means! Explain to us what we don't understand about the plight of the common black American "on the Jesus level!"
Presumably, you are neither black, nor Jesus, so perhaps you could then share with us where you got such insight.....
BTW, do be good enough to explain how such “understanding” will improve the lot of “common black people’s situation,” too. If you would be so kind.
