    If you have any working brain cells and you still live in Florida get the fuck out while you can. If this doesn’t kill you the hurricanes will.

    You were always free not to vaccinate your kids if you kept them out of the school system. But you’re also gonna say using a child’s non-prefered pronouns or non-prefered name isn’t anything like slavery at all, when slave owners would never do anything like rename people against their will.

      The Florida education system says slavery was good for them.

      The Florida State Board of Education’s new standards includes controversial language about how “slaves developed skills which, in some instances, could be applied for their personal benefit”

    WASHINGTON − President Donald Trump said the Smithsonian museums in Washington are too fixated on “how bad slavery was” and other negative aspects of United States history as he promised to take aim at the “WOKE” elements inside them.

    So, is slavery back to being bad?

        Thanks to our steady transition from America to Dumb-fuck-istan, the only purpose in life a lot of children will have is to serve as sad, painful lessons for their parents. I just hope they don’t have to suffer any more than necessary while teaching them those lessons.

    Their idea of freedom is to return to a preindustrial state.
