Same here.
That makes too much sense!!!
Adults haven’t been in charge of the education system in this country for almost 5 decades.
A classic like Huck Finn will be read by all of my kids.
Savage called it a mental disease, but I say it’s just as much a divorce from reality.
Facts and Truth are words that inflict pain on libs. Like garlic on a vampire.
KJB.....Isaiah 3:12
As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.
There. I said it.
I buy old text books .. math...literature..etc. for that reason..
My safe space was apparently 1950s America. Which is 20 years before I was born.
I read Fin in High School as well as Tom Sawyer. I don’t call people Ni@@ers even though I had read the word. It is rude.
I do however realize that customs were certainly different 175 years ago. Hell at the time Poor Jim was Ms Watson’s House Slaves.
Don’t you see? Progressives want to help the negro by erasing the history of what happened to them. Now you understand, right? Because it helps them, doesn’t it?
Wait, wut?
the great American novel ever written, my favorite the ultimate struggle of good and evil; East of Eden; Didn't read it.
Catcher in the Rye, Don't care to read it.
Huckleberry Finn; Read it.
Scarlet Letter; Great Gatsby; Grapes of Wrath, Old Man and the Sea, Catch-22, To Kill a Mockingbird.Read it. Read it. Read it. Read it. Read it. Read it.
Some others are Gone with the Wind No, On the Road Read it. (Glad I did!), Uncle Tom's Cabin No, All the Kings Men No, Red Badge of Courage. Read it.
Read and learn what was happening in America and how we were formed. The good, the bad and the ugly. Saw it! First run! At The Strand in Summit, NJ.
Funny you should say safe “space” instead of safe “place”. I conclude you must be a space alien of some kind. But, you know, I guess the 1950’s are my safe space, or place, since that decade comprises my earliest memories, me having been born in 1949, and many they are. These memories are definitely a “home base” to which one reflexively returns.
I’m curious too. Astronomical I would think.
Islam has has played a role in this country from the beginning.
Dumbasses. It’s not that you learn from them, but you learn so much more when you go to teach a subject.
Excellent reading list. I believe we read all those books in the 1960’s education.
Padlock the government education asylums, take a few of the trillions of dollars saved. and buy every kid a copy of Huck Finn.
Overall, they’d end up more edumacated.
Anyone sending their kid(s) to the government to be “educated” is an unfit parent.. Period!!
Killing cops is in every song? Which ones? I am no expert on current hits, but I haven’t heard about a song about killing cops in over 20 years.
