Where do these stats come from if they're "undocumented"? Seriously.I also think it’s fair to lump Mexicans in with all central and South American invaders to get a true assessment of our invasion by our neighbors.
This is exactly what we need to do. And it will never happen. This country is too pussified to actually enforce immigration law.Claymores and tripwires would be my preference.
Did the people who were in the Americas when the Europeans arrived themselves encounter people who proceeded them when they arrived? If it was unpopulated virgin land then it doesn't matter whence they came. Unless they displaced Lizard people or something, in which case I expect descendants of Lizard People will soon come forth and demand reparations of American Indians.Grab a history book. “Native” tribes moved among all of the Americas, conquering what ever other “native” tribes were on the land that they wanted. Conquering was usually violent and permanent, as has been forever in time.
Both Academic misconduct (like faking research data), sexual misconduct, or some felonies like misappropriating funds can get you removed. Even if you suck at teaching they most they can do is give you an office in the basement and (ironically) overload you with teaching (which you suck at) until you leave.Tenure is an artificial construct, and shouldn’t be bulletproof. If you cause discredit to your institution, create or embrace a physically dangerous culture, or damage fundraising or recruiting because you have diarrhea of the mouth, they should be free to can your ass.
Tenure should allow faculty to say and do research on things that are currently unpopular. That's "academic freedom". Yeah, she should not be in a position that represents her university and say something as stupid and wrong as she did. She was rightly removed from that position. However, as tenured faculty she should have the freedom to say it. Stupid and wrong as it is.
It depends on who demands and enforces it?If Congress uses this argument to shape public opinion out of fear of US soldiers being involved, that is absolutely extortion. Public opinion drive reelection, and they all want to be re-elected. Ergo, creating fear and giving taxpayers an either / or option to support the MIC policy that they want, they are extorting the public.
If Zelensky demands more money or requires (rather than asks or pleads) for us to send troops? That would be extortion.
But if our Congress decides to send troops instead of money (or send both), that might be stupid, but not extortion.
I wouldn't support banning home-schooling. But I have seen some tragic results from idiots trying to home-school their kids. Namely my ex-SIL and my four nephews, along with a few others. My nephews spent more time going shopping with their mother and playing video games than studying.They do have such testing, and I know for my two nephews it was voluntary. Maybe it depends on the state. My brother and his wife home schooled their boys until high school. They blew the doors off the SAT and got into some good universities.
On the other hand, I have seen some terrific results too. Personally I would like to see the home-schoolers take on that job part-time when the kids come home from the other school. Socialization and structure are important parts of education.
I'm not sure how I would feel about giving home schooled kids some sort of progress testing, even if it is voluntary.
Yep. They want to plant the idea in the public’s mind that “Catholic” equals “terrorist”. It is a classic propaganda technique.Substitute the word “Jew” and the decade of the 1930s and you’re getting the same effect.
That is pretty darn informative and clear. Sadly, I’m trying to think of 34 states that would have the consensus and chutzpah to do that. If it would require ballots, I’m not hopeful.This is the only way to fix this country try. The problem is getting to the convention to begin with.
Smears. Repeat a lie often enough and it becomes the truth. This is the media complex and their attempt to paint anything conservative as evil.
The FJB regime is doing this with "MAGA".
Ouch!It was a war wound. It was cool.
