The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Boater: The point in discussion is my statement that this administration is conducting an immigration policy of allowing millions of unvetted migrants into this country in an uncontrolled manner which you claim to be only a talking point.

No, the point is that you have not yet introduced one single statistic or link to support your claim.

Boater: As to the nonsense about book burning etc you obviously have not seen the reaction of school boards around the nation as parents begin reading sexually explicit passages to the school board members who themselves are appalled by the content and instructive nature of these books being placed in their junior/senior high school libraries.

So you think that 16-, 17-, and 18-year-olds are being "groomed"? Seriously?

Boater: In the area of schools keeping life altering secrets from parents about their children under the color of law is an explicit usurpation of parental rights to guide the upbring of their children. These children are not ...children of the state. That is for other countries like Russia, China, and Cuba for example.

Think about that for a moment. So every parent (who, incidentally is not an educator) should have his/her child taught in a manner they approve of and adheres to their belief system. So the parent who wants LGBTQ+ issues taught should be accommodated as should the parent who does not want LGBTQ+ issues taught. So the parent who wants the history of slavery taught should be accommodated as should the parent who does not want the history of slavery taught. And on and on and on.

Is that your solution? Or do you only seek accommodations for parents whose belief systems are the same as your belief system?
