All the right wingers within the first picture in the article hate your guts because you are a Jew.

IOW, anti-semitism is everywhere.

Books on Holocaust should be balanced with 'opposing' views, Southlake school leader tells teachers

Teachers in the Carroll school district say they fear being punished for stocking classrooms with books dealing with racism, slavery and now the Holocaust.

For once words fail me.Right wing lunacy has seen all sorts of nonsense dragged into the classroom. For example trying to debunk Darwin. But this seems quite dangerous to me.

I wonder if its just boneheadism or if there is a more sinister movement behind this.

Where are you going to get a book that defends the Nazi's Holocaust of Jews?

Not on Amazon, I reckon.

The Progressive Socialist Party you so love is moving more and more to be Anti Israel. I would find that more of a danger then anything. And it makes me question the real concern you have your own ethnic/cultural background. Or maybe you play all sides for maximum gains.

The left isnt anti-Israel dip shit. The left is against some of the policies of Israel.

Why is it ok for a kid to leave high school thinking the Holocaust didnt happen? Holy shit. Because it isnt the truth.

I am asking you why you are afraid of that. It's just a stupid kid. Many of them leave high school believing all sorts of bullshit.

Then, life happens and they grow up.

But you are so completely TERRIFIED that someone will believe something that is false that you want the ability to TAKE AWAY THE OPPORTUNITY TO CHOOSE WHAT TO BELIEVE. You are the ultimate tyrant.

The truth is the truth and it is always out there. One has to prove it though as truth. The one who proves the truth decides the truth.

You left something out that is very important. Who gets to decide what is the truth? See above.

Yes if one can critically think, they would know there is no election fraud, right?

Why? Because you said so? Because CNN said so before anybody even looked into anything?

Who gets to decide what is true? You will never answer that question because I don't think you know.

The Holocaust could easily be brought up in relation to Charlottesville, a current event.

How? That was a fight over a statue. It has nothing to do with the Holocaust save some media narrative (stated without evidence) that some of the protesters hate Jews

I honestly believe that the statue was a red herring for the REAL target in Charlottesville--Thomas Jefferson.

The left hate hate Jefferson because they hate freedom.

Or, hitting more close to home, the 2020 election could be brought up. The teachers would have to allow the conspiracy theorists in the class to have free reign.

This is the real issue, isn't it? You're afraid that teachers will be required to talk about perspectives you fear.

What about Russia, Russia, Russia? Will teachers be required to present alternative perspectives on that line of complete and utter bullshit? I hope so.

Who gets to decide what is truth? Who gets to decide what is conspiracy theory? Who gets to control the discussion?

You are afraid to let individuals decide for themselves. You are afraid of freedom of thought and freedom of speech. Admit it.

Your depiction of "Christians" as blaming the Jews for Christ's crucifixion when the reality is, most Christians do not hold "the Jews" responsible for it. I would say that, if asked, more Muslims blame the Jews for Christ's crucifixion than do Christians. If you believe all Christians blame the Jews, you don't know many Christians.

LOL.. Muslims don't believe Jesus was crucified.

IOW, anti-semitism is everywhere.

Yet a Jewish person in this thread just claimed most of the anti-semitism comes from the left, I guess from the 2 specific people he names. Meanwhile thousands of his right wing buddies hate him for being a Jew. Talk about living in an alternate reality.......

 

[Bootney Lee Farnsworth]

Where are you going to get a book that defends the Nazi's Holocaust of Jews?

Not on Amazon, I reckon.

There's not one, and the Holocaust is not a "current event or widely debated and currently controversial issue of public policy or social affairs."

Hello, red herring dog whistle.

The defense rests...

depends upon to which part of the "left" you refer.
Right now ----the Party of the Democrats is so
virulent against Israel ---to wit the existence
thereof----they have BECOME FLAMING ANTI-
SEMITES. Denying the fact is just---silly

Who? Name them.

I saw this article this morning and was stunned.

The county school board demands that teachers teach both sides of things, and the curriculum director used the Holocaust as an example. If they have books on the Holocaust, they have to have books on the opposing view. What opposing view??

Books written by Mel Gibson father would be the opposing views and before you even slam me just not I know Millions were killed by Nazi Germany from the Jewish Population to the Romani Population and also Homosexuals, so I am not a denier and just answering your question…

Another keyboard warrior. Calling me a prancing Nancy boy doesnt prove I'm one. I dont have to do anything about it. You have to prove I'm one.

I am the tough guy? I was being civil til you came out with your insults little man. Now reap what you sow. And yes, from here on in you will be known as the prancing Nancy boy on this site. Learn to live with it.

it's a situation which varies with time----there was
a time when "jew' meant democrat and
republican mean ---segregationist and anti-semite.
We have MOVED ----as in kinda regressed

According to Papageorgio, history will now be learned by high schoolers that come together and figure out what the truth is. Teachers no longer teach, they just babysit in the classroom, letting the students decide what history is.

Why do you claim he took a position he didn't take?

Talk about distorting my view. If this is the way you want to play, I can play the same stupid games but I prefer to let you take the low road alone.

I don't know whether he is being such a total dick because he is too stupid to understand what you are saying or if his dishonesty just comes hand in hand with his rigid politics.

Who? Name them.

Thank you. Name em. Only antisemitism I have experienced in my life came from the left. True story.

Yep. They are open about it. But these are inbred Klan morons. The left meanwhile don’t openly do it. They hide behind verbiage dissing Israel or saying I love Jews but hate Zionists. There are fewer than 8k Klan in the US. There are millions of Jew hating leftists.

I can smell your fear.

You want to dictate what you deem as truth and silence any alternative perspectives because you are a scared little shit. Freedom of thought scares the shit out of you.

Living free is not for chicken shits.

I am asking you why you are afraid of that. It's just a stupid kid. Many of them leave high school believing all sorts of bullshit.

Because they turn into people like you.

But you are so completely TERRIFIED that someone will believe something that is false that you want the ability to TAKE AWAY THE OPPORTUNITY TO CHOOSE WHAT TO BELIEVE. You are the ultimate tyrant.

Why would anyone want to purposely believe something that is false? That's illogical. I mean you have every right to do that, but you dont have the right to parade it as the truth.

ou left something out that is very important. Who gets to decide what is the truth? See above.

I told you, dipshit. The person that proves the truth decides the truth.

Why? Because you said so? Because CNN said so before anybody even looked into anything?

Why? Because you cant prove it in a court of law.

How? That was a fight over a statue. It has nothing to do with the Holocaust save some media narrative (stated without evidence) that some of the protesters hate Jews

There were people there carrying Nazi flags. But I'm sure they were just carrying that flag around so they could use it to have a picnic later.

I honestly believe that the statue was a red herring for the REAL target in Charlottesville--Thomas Jefferson.

The left hate hate Jefferson because they hate freedom.

You need mental help.

This is the real issue, isn't it? You're afraid that teachers will be required to talk about perspective you fear.

Why would I fear it? It will never be proven as the truth.

You are afraid to let individuals decide for themselves. You are afraid of freedom of thought and freedom of speech. Admit it.

I actually have taken philosophy classes and constitutional law classes. So I'm pretty sure I'm more versed in both those subjects than yourself. Even if I hadn't, you've proven in these comments what you are.

Ah....the Holocaust was bad. Pretty sure that's the the only valid point of view.

 

[Bootney Lee Farnsworth]

And there it is.

The defense rests...
