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.

"Those aren't facts.

This is a fact: 85,000 migrants have been "repatriated" since Title 42 was lifted. That's up 65% since the same period last year, which saw 51,246. During the same period the previous year, there were 33,087 repatriations."

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. You, however, are unable to back up your claim by saying how this administration's policy is doing its job of providing an orderly controlled process which is in fact properly vetting these millions of immigrants entering our country. Fact. Facts can become talking points when they are true.

"Your claim that "parental rights are being usurped by the schools and the state which is not encouraging the sexualization of children" doesn't actually make sense, does it? I assume you meant "schools and the state are encouraging the sexualization of children".

That sort of groomer rhetoric is part of a conservative effort to foster a moral panic that will help limit how and what educators teach by restricting history lessons, banning books, and curbing discussions of systemic racism and LGBTQ issues.

Your assumption is correct. 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. There are numerous youtube videos of these school boards simply shutting down the speakers or the meetings themselves because of the sexually explicit nature of the text.

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.
