The diary of Anne Frank?
The causes of the Civil War?
Family pictures?
Sex Ed?
CRT?
Anti-bullying programs?

oh wait, these are thing the right has pushed to get out of the classroom

LOL. Yeah, us righties are all about dictionary removal. Why just the other day we gathered at the school board meeting and demanded Webster be removed from the school. Oh yeah and we started a coalition to have all the handicapped kids removed as well. Can't have any of those darn wheelchairs bumping into my kid now. Why, I was just at a protest the other day demanding all black kids be removed from the school. Can't have any coloreds around. No sir. LOL. The vast majority of us righties are dead set against Anne Frank. After all we all know them Jews got what they deserved. Yessiree.
Lol and double lol.

I posted the stats about the numbers of LGBT youth that experience hostility, bullying, and violence in high school and you ignored it.

90% of all kids grades 4-8 claim to have experienced bullying.

Basically every kid experiences bullying at some point.

Yup, I was bullied. So was my friend. I actually know quite a few kids that were.

Now if the schools would actually do something about it, that would be great. But they are pretty much all talk and no action.

so these kids suddenly exist again?


you mean your imaginary kids?

Here you go....

The problem therein is where students don't feel protected, accepted, or safe and the school is supposed to be concerned about their welfare.

Ask @muichimotsu if he was talking about real kids or hypothetical ones. That's the post I was replying to.

I haven't read all 19 pages, but what I would want to know why ANY political or religious flag or any other flag (besides the U.S. and state flag) are on display in a public school classroom?
It’s easier to teach “freedom of speech” if you allow some to be seen “in action”, as it were.

I can only imagine the wailing and gnashing of teeth that resulted from you not having a special flag to keep you safe lol.

You seem to be saying that oppression resisted is oppression that doesn't exist.

No...not exactly.

Fighting back does not make a person not a victim. If a woman successfully fights off a would-be rapist, she is still a victim. It certainly does not mean no crime was committed.

Right...attempted rape. Correct me if I'm wrong, but there is no "attempted discrimination".

In that town of my early youth, there were two black schools: An elementary school and a high school. Those were the only schools that could employ black teachers or principals. There may have been many more black teachers who were capable of being principals...but the town only had two black schools, so could have only two black principals. So, yeah, those were still victims of racism.

Ok...because they were discriminated against at other schools.

A successful black barbershop owner who couldn't get a business loan to open multiple locations because he was black was still a victim of racism. The successful black mortician who had been shut out of his early dream of being a doctor because he was black was still a victim of racism.

If they're denied the loan because they're black....yeah.

I thought my example of a black kid born in 1960 was pretty clear.

Do you consider them a victim of redlining?

She's going to be identified as the "victim" in the police report. The rape attempt still gets listed in the crime statistics.

Yes I would say those people were victims of discrimination and racism. I don't think anyone is saying there hasn't been any it that no one is ever a victim.

What we are saying is just cause there have been victims in the past of racism, doesn't mean the entire race of today are victims of racism. The Jews during Hitler's reign of terror were victims. Today, the Jews are no longer victims of Nazi extermination. They are no longer being exterminated by Germany.

Gay people are not automatically victims of bullying for being gay just cause they are gay. They actually have to face the bullying for being gay before they can claim victimhood.

You think he was accusing you of being a bully? Is that remotely justified by looking at the conversation or are you just scrapping for a forum fight out of insecurities? And that's not a personal attack, that's observing you may have an issue you don't seem to recognize that is hurting the conversation at large

When I said earlier that it is characteristic of a bully to be a coward at heart, I forgot to mention that as a part of this, when confronted on this (which strips of them their power and brings their cowardice to the forefront), they almost hide behind victimhood as their excuse...

...of course, I'm talking about hypothetical bullies; I'm not referring to anyone specific.

Confront a lot of bullies, do you?

Directly? It's been a while. Fifth Grade, to be precise.

Freddie Dodds used to love sneaking up behind students and giving them wedgies... but you better believe he cried like a kicked dog all the way to the principal's office when someone who bore a striking resemblance to a young TLK Valentine (if you can imagine someone that handsome), turned around and popped him right in the nose.

1 week of detention, and worth every minute... or so I've heard.

of course, one can look at various religious or political groups who try to use their influence to bend others to their will... and then howl "persecution!" when the courts rule against them...

Nah, it's characteristic of the pattern of you'r posts...

But hey, you said I was wrong, so perhaps I was jumping to conclusions.

Wouldn't be the first time...

That post just goes to show you how much actual truth can be expected from some of the leftists. Absolutely incredible, and by incredible I mean not credible at all.

Conservatives have worked to ban the dictionary in dozens of school libraries. Menifee Union School District in S. Carolina, the Augres high school in Michigan come to mind. I remember the Augres incident. A local Baptist preacher got his congregation worked up because the dictionary in the high school library had entries for *gasp* body parts

The American Library Association lists the dictionary as the 105th most banned and challenged book of the last decade

Oh yeah and we started a coalition to have all the handicapped kids removed as well. Can't have any of those darn wheelchairs bumping into my kid now.
in 2015 religious schools in 27 states sued the federal government so they could be exempt from having to admit students under Title VI of the civil rights act

Why, I was just at a protest the other day demanding all black kids be removed from the school. Can't have any coloreds around. No sir. LOL.
Segregation is still Alive at These Christian Schools

Over
The vast majority of us righties are dead set against Anne Frank. After all we all know them Jews got what they deserved. Yessiree.
Lol and double lol.
over 1000 schools districts have banned the Diary of Anne Frank from school the primary complaint was that the book is "inappropriate contentographic" but is suspect the real complaint is that it flies in the face of Holocaust deniers.

the National Bullying Prevention Center, Stopbullying.gov and the American SPCC all agree that it is about 20% of children at some point in their schooling will be the target of bullying. In High School that number falls to between 10 and 14%....unless you are LGBT then it's 85%....but you don't think its such a bad thing for them to be bullied.
