Quote
In contemporary parlance, to “educate” oneself means allowing intellectually and morally stunted clowns — literally, in this case — to bully you. Because LGBT activists, like BLM activists, never need to be “educated” about anything. They have achieved enlightenment.

No, it’s the slack-jawed yokels who cling to thousands of years of intellectual and theological tradition who need lessons from the geniuses who spend Easter Sunday dressed in Virgin Mary drag, passing out condoms on a 13-stop bar crawl mocking the Stations of the Cross. The Dodgers are merely celebrating diversity by sponsoring a group that simulates sex scenes on crucifixes. Why are you fanatics starting another culture war?

The Dodgers had initially failed to educate themselves about “the lifesaving work” the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence “have done tirelessly for decades.” I mean, it’s not as if Catholics are out there spending tens of billions on charity every year, funding hospitals, adoption agencies, and a slew of other causes. They should probably hit up the drag queen nuns for some advice. What do the real ones know about charity?

Really, though, the Dodgers’ decision to include the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence in their Pride Night also makes perfect sense. Far from being transgressive or shocking, they represent the state religion far better than any other order.

I'm not a Catholic, but this is how I feel about a lot of stuff non-Christians have to say about moral, social, or especially religious issues. Joe Rogan, for example...

Obviously both students need to be suspended in the name of zero tolerance.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

Yeah, the "bully" sounds like she's in her 20's ... so more like an abusive adult than a child being a bully.
I was bullied by an 18 yr old that kept on getting left back and was still in the seventh grade, I finally had to stab him with a pen or a pencil - it was amazing to see him cry after months of bullying - but the teacher gave him some good advice "leave him alone or he will stab you again" or something to that effect  :rofl:

MIAMI - Nine people, including at least one child, were transported to area hospitals following a mass shooting at the Hollywood Broadwalk on Monday afternoon.

A City of Hollywood spokesperson confirmed 9 people had been shot.

Quote
It started with an altercation between two groups, which escalated to shots being fired, according to Hollywood officials.

One person of interest has been detained and police are currently looking for a second individual.

Is it really "Broadwalk," or is that a typo that keeps getting replicated?

Going to the Walk's website it's Boardwalk

Discussing the correct spelling of "boardwalk" may seem pointless to some, but it's actually slightly more effective than gun control.

From a Washington Post hit piece on home schooling:

Quote
At a time when home education was still a fringe phenomenon, the Bealls had grown up in the most powerful and ideologically committed faction of the modern home-schooling movement. That movement, led by deeply conservative Christians, saw home schooling as a way of life — a conscious rejection of contemporary ideas about biology, history, gender equality and the role of religion in American government.

A conscious rejection of biology and history - doesn't that sound a lot like the transgenderism and 1619 garbage they're pushing in public schools? Not to mention all the times public schools have been caught violating first-amendment religious rights (speaking of rejecting contemporary ideas about religion & government).
