Alabama Governor Kay Ivey signed into law on Wednesday a ban on diversity, equity and inclusion programs in public schools, making the state one of a few to enact broad measures against what she and other Republicans call a leftward tilt in U.S. education.
The bill, which passed Alabama’s Republican-led legislature on Tuesday, bans public schools from maintaining diversity, equity and inclusion offices or teaching what the bill calls “divisive concepts” about race and identity, such as that of holding people of one race responsible for actions committed by the same racial group in the past.
It also requires public institutions of higher education to designate bathrooms as only for males or females, a move that counters transgender rights advocates’ push for gender-neutral bathrooms.
Not the same, just bad in different ways
Republicans want to force everyone to live by christian rules and want to let capitalism run rampant. Democrats want to force everyone to give up individual freedoms and involve the government more in peoples’ lives.
Both parties claim it’s for the greater good.
Both parties suck. The lesser of two evils is still evil and if you vote you’re agreeing to the social contract and you legitimised the system.
Do you have an actual argument or just a set of claims? Because I can pull up every legislative proposal brought forward by Dems and compare because they are vastly different. One is taking away school lunches from kids while the other is fighting for people’s rights to live. To sit here and claim that they are
Just tells me you know nothing about policies or legislation that is being passed. It is the most naive statement passed around or an actual attempt at sowing voter disenfranchisement. Based on your rhetoric I have to assume the latter.
I see little problem with not funding school lunches because we shouldn’t have public schools at all. Parents should have to pay for their kids education and food and they should owe more in taxes because they chose to have a kid. That, any gun control, emissions on vehicles, helmet or seatbelt laws, property taxes, sending aid to Ukraine, laws that criminalise victimless crimes are a few of the reasons I won’t vote for a democrat. And I won’t vote for a republican anyway.
Oh no. You’re a libertarian emo kid. Go to somalia and enjoy your libertarian paradise then. And don’t you fucking dare use any of the million services made available to you through public funding on a daily basis. Like the internet.
