Sexual kink lessons don’t belong in pubic school - especially those where half the kids can’t read at grade level. And no one can do math.

Oooooooooo, the Supreme Court. They must be so smart and so well read to rule like gods over the lowly peasants like they do. Soooooooo clever.

RE: Notice I did 9 of them?

At least 2 of them don’t deserve the emoji, and two more deserve probably just a quarter of the emoji.

Justice Elena Kagan, one of the three liberal members of the court, expressed concern about "lines" with opt-outs, believing that if the plaintiffs were successful, there would be "opt-outs for everyone" no matter how trivial the parental issue.

Justice Kagan, if you’re right (and you are), isn’t that a prima facie indictment of the current state of public schools?

The only reason they might allow parents to opt out is because the suit was brought by moslems.

I so want to believe that, I really do. I’m sentimental that way. An old softy.


Supreme Court unanimously rules against Trump, orders return of mistakenly deported man (Maryland Man Garcia)

In 2021:
In one of the final decisions of its current term, the Supreme Court unanimously ruled against the NCAA, concluding that it could not prevent certain payments to college athletes, thus putting the longstanding amateur model of college sports in jeopardy.

Trey Wingo, a former ESPN host and commentator, sent a tweet that sought to encapsulate how stunning the Supreme Court’s 9-0 decision was.

“A 9-0 Supreme Court ruling is the equivalent of finding a unicorn and a Yeti at the same time under a rainbow with a pot of gold and they’re both speaking 3 languages,” Wingo tweeted on June 21.

Child grooming material has no place in schools to begin with!

Thomas and Alito definitely don’t deserve a poop emoji.

Good gosh, a poop emoji! Thank you, Apple!

I have turned into an old curmudgeon. I am embracing it.

I cannot believe that people are so stupid they don’t think parents have this right. How far we’ve fallen.

Religion should not be a factor. Parenthood is the only factor.

The opt out issue could be resolved by a total ban on lgbt++ education in k-12.

If the SCOTUS sides with the LGBQ crowd on this one, just disband the court. This country will not survive their evil.

“[T]here’s no evidence at present that the Board’s decision not to permit opt-outs compels the Parents or their children to change their religious beliefs or conduct, either at school or elsewhere,” wrote Agee.

But is that the standard for deciding the government is prohibiting the free exercise of religion? Does the petitioner have to show they would be forced to change religious beliefs or conduct? Isn’t it enough to show that the school not only makes the material available but uses them in teaching. That the teaching is not done in a neutral but with the clear intent of having the children affirm what is taught. Contrary to what they and their parents believe. It is also very probable if the child does not affirm what these books teach they will be held up to ridicule and even risk lower grades.

I’m feeling like backing down on Thomas and Alito. May have overstepped-—and on FR it’s not good to “step” into some things as I illustrated with the emojis.

Thanks for reeling me back from the edge.

Agree. I’m hereby withdrawing Thomas and Alito. Was in a grumpy mood over judges.
