3. Freedom of religion is protected by the Bill of Rights. That means someone can build a 300 foot statue of Moloch on their land in rural Kansas and there's nothing you can do about it on religious grounds.

I'm honestly really disturbed by how a lot of people on this hellsite are acting towards Tim Walz's kid. He's 17, loves his dad, and has multiple disabilities. Leave the kid alone.
And for the record, I said the same thing about Barron Trump.

CRT should *not* be banned in universities. Universities should be a place to freely explore, discuss, and debate any ideas — including bad ones. Other reforms, sure. Removing ideological signaling from hiring, I'm all for it. But banning ideas from universities is a big mistake.

Classrooms can't be value-neutral, but they can and should be non-partisan. We have thirty years' worth of data to illustrate that students don't learn anything when they're viewed as vessels to spur the revolution. Maybe treating kids as a means to an end is a bad idea.

One in seven people to HAVE EVER LIVED is estimated to have died of tuberculosis. One in seven.
Tuberculosis is something people in developed countries don't even think about. Be grateful for what you have.
Folks who have this image of the middle ages as some mostly peaceful long durée in which peasants lived a steady life really need to read the histories. Famine, wars of all kinds, diseases, &c. Some relatively isolated places maybe enjoyed tranquillity but they were exceptional.

Buck is right. You can have all the school choice programs in the world but there will always be tens of millions of kids in public schools. Conservatives need a better answer than rent seeking for public education.

If a principal can't handle a few memes about them, they shouldn't be a principal. It was during summer vacation, people. The principal's feelings and an amorphous notion of "dignity" are not more important than the 1st Amendment.
