Black Lives Matter Protest Held on Saturday in Fort Bragg to Honor the Two Months Since George Floyd’s Murder
Press release:
Saturday marks the 2-month anniversary of the murder of George Floyd and not enough has changed to improve the situation for Black people in the USA. Please come join in a community protest at Fort Bragg Town Hall on Saturday July 25, from 3-5pm. Bring a sign if you want, there will be some speakers, a march, and updates on what is happening in the County and town regarding racial justice issues, and see how you can get involved to push for change locally and nationally.We have been promoting social distancing and I believe everyone has been wearing masks at the protests these past 2 months. Let’s keep that up while staying connected to each other, and connected to the work that needs to be done.In sadness and rage,Andy Wellspring

There is no conspiracy against black people!!!! Christ. No. Black people are NOT more often targeted by the police and they are not being ‘brutalized’ en masse and they are brutalizing their own communities and killing their own children because of the culture of gun violence which is their own doing. Unarmed whites are two-times more often shot by the police but the racism obsessed media keeps lying and pushing that lie because you’re biting the ridiculous fairy tale of ‘white privilege’ and other made up crutches people use to explain things away rather than take responsibility for their own failures. This is the LEAST racist society in the world except for the fact that you all keep drumming it to life with your psychologically messed up incantations and accusations of racism everywhere like some ‘white’ boogeyman in the closet. What is it with you people anyway? YOU ARE BEING PLAYED BY OPPORTUNISTS— can’t you see that????????Why are you so goddamned scared to admit the truth to yourselves? Stop acting like cowards. What they’re really telling you is proportionately to population size (20%)blacks are more often killed but for the smaller population they also are committing more crime and resist. It’s NOT ‘systemic racism’ like they spin it and you sheep all are willing to tear apart people’s lives out of sheer ignorance and fear and are too lazy to accept the truth and would rather live in a pitiful display of syrupy phony virtue signaling emotions for the purpose of no one being able to accuse YOU of being ‘racist’ because you think it will keep you safe FFS. Read Thomas Sowell on the history of slavery and oppression, and the welfare state and then read Heather Macdonalds FACT based research on police ‘racism’ and LEARN something before you destroy ALL of us.
I’m in agreement with your comment Moore. //There is no conspiracy against black people!!!! //
You go on to solidify your thought in easy to understand logic.
The largest source of death in young black males in America, is homicide. I’ll venture a theory that … African Tribal disputes are the same statistic. Why do Americans tolerate this?
BLM when used for statistical data is true.
It’s pretty obvious for those who have a bigger perspective on the history and means by which …
THE FEW HAVE CONTROLLED THE MANY.
Everything else is just knee jerking, pounding sand, and pushing a boulder up a hill.
Here’s a link to a talk by Thomas Sowell on the history of slavery.

Does Qanon have any black members?
I am wondering when people are going to protest racism at the Chinese embassy? Or at Muslim mosques? The Muslims, starting in the 800s, slaved millions. The Chinese are rounding up Muslims, forcing them into concentration camps, sterilizing them, men and women, forcing them to eat pork, and using them as organ donors for the Chinese Communists. They round up the Uyigars, and they have them in forced labor camp. This is happening today, now. The Chinese are trying to steal, and in many cases have been, our virus work to find a vaccine. The Muslims in the middle east had slaved millions, and there are millions of slaves in the middle east and Asia, millions of slaves in China, today, now. No slaves in USA, black and Hispanics billionaires in the US, thousands of black and Hispanic multi millionaires, own businesses, employ thousands. In China, right now, blacks are being taken from their apartments and put on the street, then deporting them, because they, the Commie Chinese govt, say they are not the kind of people they want in their society. Where is your sadness and rage about this? Where is your sadness and rage to what the Chinese Communists are doing right now today, hurting blacks and others in their society. And look at what the commie Chinese are doing in Hong Kong, beating and shooting freedom and democracy protesters. No sadness and rage for them? Two months of violence and destruction of many innocent business’s, many owned by blacks and Hispanics, but no sadness and rage for them? We teach our freedom school students these things everyday, if public schools do not want to teach history, we do.
Free Hong Kong.

Versus:
I would support the protests in the US if the thrust was to establish a “more perfect union” rather than fracture the foundational ideas which recognizes our inherent freedoms.
Inherent freedoms… for snow white males. That’s nice for you. You haven’t been coddled enough.
No one needs your support anyway.
It must be very discouraging for people of color reading the comments here. Seeing the dismissal of their very real experience is disheartening for this white elder. To the people of color in Ft. Bragg I say, be strong and please know that you have allies here.
It’s very discouraging for everyone to read the attempts to silence anything but a single chant from a limited but very vocal agenda. But there we are. If you really seek consensus, try opening hour ears to many, many different voices,
Cheers, Electric eel.
And divisiveness rears its ugly head.
Too much for ya, snowflake?
Too much? No. Disappointing. We live in a time of such opportunity, but our narrative is driven by people who think they are nothing but oppressed.
You haven’t got a clue [edit]
Enough clues to string together more than a pointless sentence punctuated with an insult.
Maybe take some time to lay out cogent argument rather than knee-jerk responses with no substance. I have no issues discussing ideas that differ from mine.
You got a big pile of nothing… lol.
You’ll need to up your “game,” [edit]
Nice one. Such intelligence displayed in your retort I don’t even know where to begin.
Always find it interesting that it’s mostly the woke race Freedom Fighters that have to throw in racial slurs every time they get in a debate with someone that disagrees with them… I Wonder what the moderation would look like if I replied to someone I thought was probably a black American as blacky, midnight or some other slightly concealed racially-based descriptive words… (EDITED)
racial slur…?

Wah! People in Fort Bragg went to a protest!
Wah! People think Black Lives Matter!
Wah! Lol.
Actually I was referring to Snow White.
Though it looks like that post did get EDITED after all. guess I jumped the gun, I apologize Kym.
This isn’t directed at BLM more at people here wanting socialism, but can we trade the protesters in Hong Kong that want freedom for the protestors here that want socialism? Sounds like a Win, win to me. Every one gets what they want.
That works for me!
People “wanting socialism “. You’ve got to be kidding me. You need to get a job writing spots for FOX News.
Every time you call me a conservative I just laugh. It really just shows how narrow minded you are. Why is “wanting socialism” funny? You don’t like me using peoples own words against them?
In lieu of a statement of principle, beliitlement and abuse is always the first choice of too many. (Now come the sputtering anger what is a variation of objecting to a personal insult from those who do nothing But make personal insults.)
Yeah, you’re pretty good at while pretending to stay above the fray…
The tragedy of that picture is that the US did nothing to help them. The Hong Kong protesters were asking for us to stand with them in fighting for their freedom and we basically turned our backs on them.
So maybe it isn’t the best example, you think?
Or maybe we didn’t and it’s not over yet….hmm
Of course it would help if Nike and Tech companies would stop supporting China and their slave labor. You know those supposedly BLM leftist supporting companies.
Tell that to Ivanka and Donald.
Yawn………..So good at diverting the subject to nothing applicable.
Ivanka has her products made in China and was awarded 10 patents there last year. Don has his products, even the MAGA hats made there.
Try and keep up..
Ivanka Trump officially shuts down clothing line – The Washington Post…
Chinese fashion factories cut ties with Ivanka Trump brand
Jul 26, 2018
maybe you should keep up.
That is true, but that is because stores were backing away from her brand. She had moved her shoe line from China to Ethiopia.
However, the patents awarded by China are very real. And granted after she shut down her clothing lines. Also at a time when she was already working in the White House.
https://apnews.com/0a3283036d2f4e699da4aa3c6dd01727
That was in November of 2018. She was granted 5 more a few months later.
Angela did you miss this part of the article you reference?
https://apnews.com/0a3283036d2f4e699da4aa3c6dd01727
All the trademarks were applied for in 2016.
“These trademarks were sought to broadly protect Ms. Trump’s name, and to prevent others from stealing her name and using it to sell their products,” Peter Mirijanian, a spokesman for Ivanka Trump’s ethics attorney, said in an email. “This is a common trademark practice, which is why the trademark applications were granted.”

“President Donald Trump on Tuesday signed into law a bill to impose sanctions on Chinese officials, businesses and banks that help China restrict Hong Kong’s autonomy, a move that is likely to worsen already-strained diplomatic ties and prompt retaliation from Beijing.”

Cdc says masks are not effective in protecting against virus transmission.
Their own report, nonetheless.
This is old information. https://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2020/p0714-americans-to-wear-masks.html
So magically 70 years of research is old information.
Like the constitution, I’m struggling to see why it’s so hard to see bigger picture here.
I’m struggling to understand why you don’t believe that as understanding of science changes as studies reveal new information, science policy will change also.
I was thinking about you this evening, along with all the good hard working parents who raise their children to be good , caring and hard working people. We all have our vision of the world and our interpretations of the data we collect over the years.
I’ve been on the wrong end of labor disputes, and watched families struggle because of the corporate drive to increase profits for shareholders. Sitting on a strike line, trying to hold the line, for the next generation, only to see the next generation oblivious to the history and the struggle of the working class , who simply want to live in peace and quiet with their family and friends.
There are those who are tasked with the job of increasing profits at the expense of people, and whether or not you can see what is transpiring in front of you, is simply the idea of robber baron mentality that keeps pushing the bar, at the expense of the general population.
Is this our world, or are we merely guests who have been manipulated by power driven people to consolidate the competition.
Left brain , right brain, we raise our children to be respect tradition, and their elders, and themselves.
We must not fail to recognize the difference between the 1%, who meet at private getaways for executive round table discussions on how to steer the public into the proverbial cage.
I don’t accept much at face value.
There are the protagonists and the antagonists, and then there are the people who pay to watch fantasy and fiction, while the wicked never rest on their achievements.
The billionaire boys club is being used to change mental and emotional and physical reality, and from what I can see, the Trojan Horse has successfully inculcated the naive and well intentioned.
This script was written long ago, and I’m just sad to see so many people unable to realize the slow incremental change that has been pushed upon the good people who are just trying to survive.
My heart is heavy seeing the problem, reaction and solution that is being played out In front of our eyes.
I don’t know why I see it differently, but I’ve been simply trying to help other free themselves from the mental slavery that Bob Marley so beautifully sang about.
(They tried to kill him)
Peter Tosh, was a true philosopher king.
The struggle for our minds is real.
Think about the fact that many other countries intelligence agencies have access to every single piece of information that’s ever been uploaded or shared. Think about what kind of mindset demands access to every metric that can be used for profit or something more sinister.
Have we really failed to recognize the cage that’s been built for free thinking, independent minded people.
“Freedom is just another word, for nothing left to lose. “
70 years of research and they amend the diagnosis after 2 studies, one being a hair salon.
This doesn’t sound like rigorous science, it sounds like the study was geared with a very certain result In mind.
Adherence to wearing a product that has absolutely NO GUARANTEES FOR ITS PERFORMANCE.
Propaganda was legalized with Obama, and his NDAA. Quietly signed over the Christmas holidays behind he left office.
So as far as I’m concerned, that study wouldn’t pass the rest of National Inquirer science research.
Not many people give a shit about anything beyond their comfort zone.
3 to 6 percent were actually responsible for the pushing back against the English in the 1700s.
People want to be on the winning team, most will wait till the grunt work is done, so flag waiving and 18th century virtue signaling came at little to no cost.
And no, the native American people were not born from the soil in North America…
?
wear mask’s and social distance.
“In sadness and rage”? Really? As if things that are out of control are not bad enough. Irrational.
I guess, just like Josiah Lawson, George Floyd is someone we will hear about far too often. Where are the vigils for all the other people killed who were actually innocent, those of all nationalities. Neither of these individuals was a saint, yet those who choose to unnecessarily fan the flames of racism will not be stopped. They will continue trying to force their ideas and beliefs on others no matter what it takes. They will not stop at peaceful, but will cross over to violence, riots and vigilantism if opposed. Like COVID, with masks, social distancing, no group gatherings and huge unemployment numbers have become the new “normal” for our Country, PROTESTS and VIGILS have become the new way for activists to make bad behavior their new “normal.” And… …they even have the support of the very ones who set up the COVID rules. Apparently these rules, especially no gatherings of over 10 don’t apply to these not so “special” people.
Just to avoid the misinterpretation some will surely read in to this, I believe any death is terrible. When murder is the cause of death, it is even more tragic. In both of these murders, the victim was indeed involved in questionable behavior immediately prior to being murdered. I guess I am unwilling to celebrate their bad behavior when kids in strollers killed by gang members in drive by shootings are barely reported. I guess their lives don’t matter enough to celebrate or protest for gangs to be abolished like they want police abolished, and don’t fit as a poster child for their cause, even when the child killed was black and their life matters to me, even though I don’t know them personally.
?
The whataboutism above me is strong.
Same people every time…
But what about the random noncreditial YouTube conspiracy I just read……. wonk wonk.
But that is even more true for the racism-hiding-in-every-corner, never-questioning- because-everyone-knows group. Now that is one massive progressive conspiracy theory wanking.
Imaging your child dying and you are giving a eulogy explaining what your own child meant to you and how special your child was, and then someone grabbed the mic and says “actually all children are special…”
That’s what “all lives matter” sounds like.
Not if my eulogy was to march into my own community, burning and looting as I went along. And not if my child was a violent, convicted felon. And not if the eulogy was actually being voiced by a whole lot of unrelated surrogates with a hundred other agendas.
Thanks for proving my point.
You never rail against violent White Supremacists, why is that?
So that’s some nonsense circular logic. Saying all lives matter is a distraction from black lives matter, but if you critize the actions of anyone in that situation then your response is you never rail against white supremacists! That’s a do as I say not as I do case right there
When White Nationalists stage demonstrations where they break windows, start fires, and assault people for being the wrong race I will denounce them just like I denounce people who do those things at BLM demonstrations.
Most of the crime being committed in Portland right now is done by law enforcement personel. You know that, right?
Yeah, they’re the ones throwing rocks and setting fires every night. /s
Imaging your child dying and you are giving a eulogy explaining what your own child meant to you and 15 people are slaughtered outside while you’re speaking.
And the Mayor says so what, just don’t bring any cops here!
Yeah, not a good analogy.. back to the drawing board.
That’s based on what actually happened at a memorial in Chicago this week. But the shooters didn’t succeed in killing any of their 15+ victims, in case you think that’s significant.
Although at the last report I heard some were critical.
Could the money spent on Hospitals and Health Care and endless disability payments for victims be spent improving lives?
Maybe then you wouldn’t want to defund the police because they wouldn’t be needed for stop and frisk and could do things more useful.
Like maybe some baseball games with the kids?
Fifteen victims, six serious or critical.
Stop-and-frisk was not an effective policy.
We all know “save the sea turtles” doesn’t mean ” fuck other aquatic animals” so why the hell is “black lives matter” so controversial to you . Some of you go into elaborate reasons here to dismiss and minimize the Black Lives Matter movement. You cite other oppressed humans in an effort to steer the conversation away from black oppression and police brutality in this country…I’m sorry, it’s pathetic as hell and we see what is behind those comments. You say more about yourself than any whataboutism you’re trying to push here.
It’s not their name, it’s their political statement I’m against. It’s their terrorist donor list. It’s the fact they only care about black people killed by cops, not the infinitely greater number of blacks killed by other blacks, gangs, and drugs. It’s the incredibly destructive mindset exhibited at their “protests.” It’s using thugs as roll models. I truly believe all black lives matter, which is much more than this group believes.
Where do you get your info??? Faux Spews???
Faux News, the President*, Rush Limbaugh, InfoWars, QAnon, Neo Facists, White Nationalists and anyone else that bolsters their inner fears.
And the fact that when you donate to BLM the money gets funneled to the DCCC. Without your knowledge of course.
hay I love BLM the Bureau of Land Management does a lot of good
Prove it.
I second that!
On Monday, New York State Attorney General Letitia James ordered the Black Lives Matter Foundation, a California-based organization unaffiliated with the global movement to end police brutality against Black people, to stop collecting donations in the state due to its failure to file financial disclosures.
The move comes after BuzzFeed News reported that the nonprofit, which has only one paid employee and seeks to build relationships with police, was in line to accept millions of dollars from major corporations like Apple and Microsoft following the police killing of George Floyd in May. If the foundation did not submit the necessary financial documents, the state’s top prosecutor would launch an investigation into the organization, the attorney general’s office confirmed.
“Charitable organizations have the responsibility to ensure transparency in their operations,” James said in a statement. “Soliciting donations in New York without registering or filing financial reports to the state could mislead New Yorkers who generously donate their money.”
“I won’t allow the people of New York to be deceived by any organization, especially one that degrades the Black Lives Matter movement in the process,” she added.
“I won’t allow the people of New York to be deceived by any organization, especially one that degrades the Black Lives Matter movement in the process.”
Following the recent spike in donations to racial justice causes, New York officials have heightened their monitoring of potentially fraudulent groups and misleading causes, a spokesperson said. The state requires any nonprofit that receives substantial donations from New York residents to register with the Attorney General’s Charities Bureau to ensure that the funds are being used the way that donors intended. If nonprofits like Barnes’ are found to have solicited donations while unregistered, they could be fined or banned from operating in the state.
Robert Ray Barnes, a 67-year-old music producer in LA, created the nonprofit in 2015, two years after the acquittal of Trayvon Martin’s killer sparked the Black Lives Matter movement.
In interviews last month, Barnes told BuzzFeed News that he has nothing to do with the Black Lives Matter movement and accused its leaders of stealing his name. He also said he maintained a stream of donors, including corporations and individuals who send small checks to his foundation’s mailing address — a UPS store in Santa Clarita, California.

But that is exactly what the comments here are- fuck everyone not agreeing to beat themselves up morning, noon and night.
You poor thing….so put-upon. It’s tragic.
Because it’s dishonest. BLM only cares about black lives that can be exploited for a questionable agenda and ignores the much greater causes of violent death among blacks. All black lives matter.
No one “protesting” i.e. rioting, gives a fuck about the felon who was completely spun on meth and fentanyl who previously stuck a pistol in the belly of a lady while home invasion robbing her. It is what I call “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it ’till it is. Racism? Fucking bullshit I call, we just had 8 years of a “black” presidency, a stupid ball sport that pays millions, if not billions to persons of color for a 2-3 year contract. If a cop murders ANYONE, he or she should be held to account for that, O.J. cut his wifes fucking head off and walked, but Beverly Hills didn’t burn, now did it?
Racism was just about dead, but the assholes had to dig it up and light back on fire. Just let it die…
Would be easier to believe the rhetoric if it was not so specifically identified with criminals.
Wow…that is such a load of…something.
Though, it does reveal a lot more than you realize.
Exactly, kick back and watch the show. Same bullshit every time. Same people claim they’re not at all racist then go into a tirade proving just that.
They’re like baby manifestos that say nothing, except “hey, look at me, I’m a racist!” Privileged, and ignorant as the day is long…
Someone get these geezers their prune-juice bottles… maybe they’ll quit crying.
Yep.
Black Lives Matter
So many user names….
T-Dome Refugees they are used to posting under a Plethora of different “Names” but the Rhetoric is ALL the Same!!!
Yep.
They think no one notices. They love love love seeing their rants in print, but how often can you repeat the same dogma thinking it’s just as potent? It’s not, it’s old, dusty and worn out.
transient ne’er do wells come to disrupt the web site with a false sense of altruistic sabotage .
I see the multi-username accusation from you (and a couple of others) pretty often. How many people do you think are using multiple handles? Which ones go together?
We all know a certain ex hospital employee uses a bunch, but who else?
If I say Kym will just delete it. It’s been going on for years. One person in particular has been doing it for years, honed his skills on Loco years back during the election. These people also like to agree with themselves under different names. It’s really obvious, they’ve been called on it and yet they persist as if no one has caught on yet.
Now watch who comes out of the woodwork and calls me paranoid to reveal themselves.
Sometimes I think i might be multiple people but then i realize I’m wearing my underwear so that’s not likely. Unless everyone is wearing my underwear, I don’t know it gets confusing if you think about it too hard.
Well Real Brian accused me a while back… but Kym knew different.
It seems to be another tactic the RB and YS use to play the under dog.
Obviously you haven’t followed either site for long or you’d know. And if you do know you’re covering for them.
Thank you Moore, Stuber, Ullr, Alf and others. Liberals have ZERO rebuttal to any of these FACTS you’ve articulated other than the predictable “you’re a racist” by yeah sure, who has never made a even a single cogent argument.
Two months after George Floyd and we now have record murders, largely of blacks, in NY, Chicago, Seattle and Minneapolis, all Democrat run cities. Not a peep from the lying liberals who profess to care so much about black lives. Non stop rioting in Portland and Democrats stand by and say/do NOTHING. Point out left wing unhinged violence and the best you’ll get is a meme about Charlottesville from 3 years ago. When they get really desperate they’ll bring up the wildlife refuge takeover in OR. 4 years ago. They’ll ignore that those protesters were actually peaceful and didn’t destroy everything in sight, while America burns at the hands of communist douchebags masquerading as social justice warriors. Liberalism is a mental disorder.
??????
Thanks for the laff.
Gee, you guys all sound the same.
I couldn’t agree more rollin. I thank you as well, Moore, Stuber, Ullr, Alf and others.
Aaaaaand, you have no idea what color I am, what color my partner is, who I voted for (twice!), what I do for a living,etc. But, you will A.S.S.U.M.E. that I judge,jury, and execute based on my inability to differentiate between content of character, vs content of melanin… Who’s the fucking racist now? B.urning, L.ooting M.urdering will do dogsquat to quell your idea of systemic inequalities. By the way, this will go down in history as the best R.H.B.B comment section ever…
You prove my point, thank you.
Why would it be the best thread ever? It’s just like every thread when the articles subject is BLM. Same people claim they’re not racist then spew long tirades proving that they are. Same same same.same same till next time, then repeat it all over again like clockwork. Where have you been?
You describe yourself quite well yeah sure.
All you say …
It’s just like every thread when the articles subject is BLM. Same people ( person) claims they’re not racist then spew long tirades proving that they are. Same same same.same same till next time, then repeat it all over again like clockwork…
is exactly what you do.
No, it’s what you guys do, “look everyone, I’m a racist!” And then you congratulate each other, lol.
Exactly. I love when they actually call you racist for calling out their bullshit. Where did they learn that weak bullshit, FOX News?
Did anyone notice how peoples perception of BLM has changed. Rather than unite people, most peoples are seeing images of rioting social justice warriors, yelling and burning, while spouting their pathetic threats. I for one see no unity in this, because most people don’t want to destroy their towns, rather instigators promoting violence, which the black community already has too much of.
Yawn…
Yawning’s contagious. Yawn…
Funny, when you lose, you scream “RACIST!” And when you win, you scream “RACIST!”… Pick a side, and stick with it, or pick a stick, and side with it.
Spew away, warrior… (not meant for anybody that agrees with my previous “rants”).
When cars full of bats, bottles of frozen water, and fire bombs show up at Peaceful protests, the protests are hardly peaceful.
Floyd is now barely an after thought and the purpose has become ” cancel culture.”
I haven’t seen one Democratic Mayor believably mourn the death of their citizens, instead their mission is to prevent law and order and damage Trumps campaign at all costs even human life. The numbers of deaths just since Fathers Day is staggering.
It’s just mind blowing that people would support this while claiming BLM.
Ft Bragg?! I thought we were changing the name from that confederate racist! Why not start doing so in your press releases (BLM’s not Kym’s). Call it Noyo (formerly Ft. Bragg) if that’s going to be the new name. Sometimes you just need to get ahead of the official committees and see if you can make it stick, force their hand and make them react to your advancing of the issue. Secondly- are they going to truck in some black folk or just go with the 3 that live in Noyo(formerly Ft. Bragg)…Nothing to slight black people or their struggles but I think locally we should be bringing up our history of Native American genocide and Chinese expulsions as that’s the racist crap that our local towns were built on. A bunch of white people protesting in an area where blacks weren’t the color of the people murdered and abused is kinda weird.
So while your changing names what problems are you creating?
Should we have Latinos and Native Americans fighting over who was there first?
How are delivery people that use GPS for deliveries supposed to know where they are going?
Tourist all over the world know these names as they are. How would map makers know when to make new maps or when you would be finished changing the names?
People and businesses changing all the info and advertising… people trying to contact everyone they know to change their info.
Just a few minor details but the implications are endless. And how many people even thought of the origin of these names until cancel culture made a big deal out of it?
Meanwhile lives and cities are being destroyed…..for what?
Keep the name Fort Bragg and dedicate the town’s name to Billy Bragg.

All Lives Matter
They do not all matter to those in the billionaire boys club…
There is a hierarchy of needs for the ultrarich and y/our$ are no longer relevant
Yes, infection is possible. Yes, a school might act as a vector. Yes, although certain age children are only rarely severely effected by covid-19, there will be children who are severely ill and maybe fatally so.
But that is true whether they go to school or not because their parents mostly can not avoid exposure indefinitely no matter how teachers leverage their power. Too many must risk exposure to go out taking care of society’s necessary business. And they are owed some support too. They need as much safe places for children to stay while they work as people privileged to be able to work from home. So the professionals best expend their more of their energy figuring out ways to support those families with making school as safe for their kids as possible rather than spending it making sure They are safe themselves. Figure it out…
Let the parents who want to send their kids to school meet up with the teachers that want to teach them.
Let the parents who don’t do distance learning.
Let the money follow the kids.
Parents have the right to decide whats right for their kids.
Kids are not governments possessions that parents just get to pay for.
Actually, once your kid or anyone else who might get a social security number then belongs to the union. Everyone with a social security number is a slave.
Once upon a time that happened when you starting working at a job.
But I guess they pass them out at birth now.
Maybe not a slave in terms of building rail roads or picking cotton, but definitely an employee of the union. Hence: social security taxes. Your private social security number is your employee number, thus your employer has all the power to dictate your worth and actions. Check out the freeman clause. Just because you’re born into a world of shit doesn’t mean you agree with it. Amen ramen noodle
