Lnf has a copy. Thanks Vrede

[Vrede too]

De nada. Everyone loves happy endings.

You included his capitulation article, but omitted the total victory article. Are you saving it for when a righty appears so you can rub her/his nose in it?
What a dick

... Asshole xtian principal chased out of the school:

Principal of Walker High School requests to take leave of absence

Fwiw, Walker, Louisiana is 78.24% White (non-Hispanic). Livingston Parish votes 84.13% GQP and "is dominated by the Southern Baptist Convention".

Ftr, Footloose was set in the fictional town of Bomont, Georgia. Also,

... The narrative is loosely based on the township of Elmore City, Oklahoma, as the community had banned dancing in an attempt to curb the alcohol addiction in the city....

Q: Why do Baptists disapprove of premarital sex?
A: Because it might lead to dancing.

[Vrede too]

Surprising that someone from the right hasn't stepped in to explain ... something.

Simple to explain.

A democrat idiot high school teacher made a big mistake.

What an imbecilic xtian RepuQ dick (redundant, I know) in desperate denial!

So when did a democrat principal become a part of the religious right

[Vrede too]

The desperate denial persists:

Interesting.

This is a public school

The Louisiana dept of education - which is pretty far left - had him lost as a semi finalist for principal of the year on their Facebook page.

Glad the guy got called out. What an idiot.

There's zero evidence anywhere that the "Louisiana dept of education [sic]" is "pretty far left" and it's stupid to suggest that an anti-dancing xtian LOSER candidate for principal of the year is left in any way.

What an idiot pp is.

That be pee. He makes up pretty much everything he posts.

That's the problem with rock music. Rock music leads to sex. And sex leads to dancing.

With Kevin Bacon.

though the 65-17 romance image is a little creepy, not to mention attempting the lift being potentially fatal

That be pee. He makes up pretty much everything he posts.

OpenSecrets.org: Jason St Pierre

Money to Candidates: ST PIERRE, JASON, WALKER, LA 70785
02-24-2022 $50.00 MINCEY JR, BUDDY (R)

Granted, $50.00 is chickenfeed and BUDDY may just be a buddy, but the inescapable FACT is that the asshole xtian ex-principal has ONLY donated to a RepuQ, not to any Dems. archie and pp are morons.

Similarly, the Louisiana State Superintendent of Education:

OpenSecrets.org: Cade Brumley

Money to Candidates: BRUMLEY, CADE, STONEWALL, LA 71078
06-13-2017 $100.00 BAGLEY, LAWRENCE A (LARRY) (R)

$100.00 still ain't much, but it's $100.00 more than Superintendent Brumley has given to any Dem. petep is a moron twice over.

Weird, when I look up the Faux Noise story from your original post I get an "Allow ad on FOX News" pop-up:

About 12 miles from my Jr Hi:

Former middle school teacher accused of sex acts with student as police believe there are more victims

A former Maryland teacher allegedly engaged in sex acts with an underage middle school student, according to police, who said there could be more victims.

Melissa Marie Curtis, who's now 31, was a teacher in Montgomery Village Middle School in Montgomery County, Maryland, when the alleged abuse happened in 2015, according to police.

It allegedly continued for "several months" when Curtis was 22, police said....



... Curtis was employed by the Montgomery School District for two years, according to police....

Dammit, my education was incomplete.

Quick - call the cops, there’s a bad book at the high school.

“A woman dialed the sheriff's office to report pornography being distributed to students at Jay High School. She wanted to remain anonymous in providing her information.
That woman is Jennifer Tapley, a Republican running for the District 2 School Board seat.
The newsletter "Popular Information" shared audio and video with WEAR News identifying Tapley. The news source secured each through a freedom of information request.”


“Tapley says the book in question, "Storm and Fury," contains pornography that under law, can't be on school shelves. She wanted the sheriffs office to take action against the school libraries throughout the county.
"The governor says this is child pornography. It's a serious crime, it's just as serious if I handed her a Playboy in front of you right here, right now. It's just as serious, it's the law," Tapley said.
*****
"They call this 'book banning,' it's not 'book banning' when they were never supposed to be there in the first place," Tapley said.”
*****
“They” call her a Mom for Liberty, she’s not a mom for liberty when she’s so full of shit that her eyes are brown.

Foolish and unaccountable coward.

Opps. No cowards allowed.

Ummm, if it's precluded from being "there in the first place," it's still banned. Gotta love it when idiots opine on our kids' education.

... The district says no formal challenge has been submitted for the book in question ...

Lazy moron.

Fascist bitch.

“The Israeli consul for public diplomacy in New York, Yuval Donio-Gideon, took the highly unusual step of contacting Bard College earlier this year to object to the course, Apartheid in Israel-Palestine, on the grounds that it breached the controversial International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of antisemitism.”

“When the college defended the course, it came under pressure from pro-Israel groups and from at least one major donor. Robert Epstein, the property developer and co-owner of the Boston Celtics, resigned from Bard’s board of trustees in protest at Bard’s refusal to cancel the subject.

The course was designed and taught by Nathan Thrall, a Jewish American writer and researcher who lives in Jerusalem.
“The Israeli consulate contacted Bard and said they would like the course to be cancelled. There was mention of the IHRA definition of antisemitism which is the standard means of attempting to silence criticism of Israel,” said Thrall.”



The basis of the course was the growing evidence that Israel is in breach of international laws against apartheid, including reports by Israel’s leading human rights group, B’Tselem, and from a prominent legal organisation, Yesh Din, which concluded that “the crime against humanity of apartheid is being committed in the West Bank”.
In September, a former head of the Mossad intelligence agency, Tamir Pardo, joined a rising number of prominent Israelis in comparing the occupation of the West Bank to South Africa’s defunct system of racial oppression.”

“Among IHRA’s examples of antisemitism is “claiming that the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavour”.”

You better not call a racist a racist, or the racist will not only call you an antisemite, but they’ll gang up with friends and try to destroy you.

“The consulate’s intervention came at a time when the Israeli government was threatening to “publish a ranking of the most antisemitic campuses in the US; to shame institutions that promote anti-Israel positions, where Jewish students feel unsafe”’.

“Jewish students feel unsafe”
what, why, when

“Publish a ranking” wow - better known as Escalate at every step

“The ADL’s chief executive, Jonathan Greenblatt, also sought to pressure Bard. Botstein described their conversation as tense.
“He was not open to a free discussion. He was not civil. And he did not accept our invitation to visit the course and see for himself. He called already intent on trying to pressure us to cancel the course,” he said.”

It’s our way, or fuck you


Whiners and liars
“Drimer wrote to Botstein attempting to link Thrall to Hamas.
“This class is wrong in its inception, and we are ethically compelled to point out why: Nathan Thrall is heavily financed by the government by Qatar, a leading funder of Hamas and other officially designated terrorist groups,” he said.
Thrall previously worked for the International Crisis Group which received a donation from Qatar after he left.”

They’re bad as MAGAts and fox

“Botstein responded to the UCJF letter saying that “as a child of survivors of the Holocaust I am more sensitive than most” to antisemitism.
“There is nothing antisemitic about the course in question. It explores questions that have been the subject of debate in Israel for years. Why should the Jewish community in America be afraid of the same debates and arguments taking place in Israel?” he said.”

I agree. Why is Israel so scared of words and an effort to seek the truth?

Because they are both cowards and bullies.

Thank you for standing up for truth, human decency and academic freedom, and against the forces of censorship, fat cat threats, repression, apartheid, and dare I say, fascism. If I was in NY I would register for the course. Hold fast, the world needs you.
