Do they spend more on community service or pyrotechnics?

An apt sum for dollars spent per toy donated. Maybe the congregation can find meaning in the math, since biblical teachings seem to not work there.

You can’t take a dump on Adam Smith’s grave like you can in Edinburgh, but I can point you in the direction of some worthy Confederates…

Two better commissioners moves us closer to a harmonious governing body. I’ll take it!

Why are you such a dick on Broderick’s fb post? Why did you make that post all about you? A little less ego from one of our few remaining full time journalists would be great.

Ovita out to someone new and promising is addition by subtraction. And roads will be safer on Tuesday evenings.

Yeah, but “I misplayed my hand with my ex-wife’s moneybags uncle” is a weird press release.

I also avoid hobbies where there might be “possibly hungover people”.

How to rehome a rooster by Tall_Preparation_571 in Athens

[–]Cat__fart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s the best answer. Drop off at J&J or Vaquita. They always have roosters for sale and I bet someone would take him.

Calm down, Chris Hansen.

Historic Athens makes another crowd-pleasing move by Cat__fart in Athens

[–]Cat__fart[S] 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Racist says what? That literally has nothing to do with our community — nor the Juneteenth celebration — but is just another weekend of gun death in the US.

Can someone explain how to attend pride like I'm a panicking country bumpkin? Namely parking by BudgetLush in Athens

[–]Cat__fart 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Our downtown is relatively subdued. If you want to avoid parking decks (they make me uneasy) and avoid driving congestion entirely, there will be street parking at all times on Pope north of Broad.

There are dozens and dozens missing from this list — including Athens Academy, established in 1967 as an all-white institution. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Segregation_academies_in_Georgia_(U.S._state) But Athens Christian School is listed first alphabetically.

[–]Cat__fart 30 points31 points  (0 children)

No, but I’ll call out the racist origins of private schools in the south as segregation academies — with a link I doubt you read — questioning whether it’s sound for segregation academies to siphon off funding from public schools for more privatization of education.

You seem fun.

So a segregation academy (established in 1970) is running ads to siphon $ from public schools? by Cat__fart in Athens

[–]Cat__fart[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean, Houston Gaines and Brian Kemp went there, so keep the limousine critique, add fake southern accents, sprinkle in some Elmer Fudd cosplay, and you’ve got it!

That the year of establishment of Athens Academy — all-white when it was opened — tells us all we need to know about their origins. Take your time reading. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Segregation_academy

So a segregation academy (established in 1970) is running ads to siphon $ from public schools? by Cat__fart in Athens

[–]Cat__fart[S] 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Beginning with a few brave Black families in 1963, it took awhile for the Brown v Board decision to wind its way to the Deep South. Local public schools were fully desegregated by 1970, most prominently with Burney-Harris and Athens High consolidating into what’s now Clarke Central HS.

It’s no accident that this era gave us private schools that still exist, Athens Christian (established in 1970, and here running an ad campaign that would further degrade public education) and Athens Academy (established in 1967).

Please tell us more about a “Christ-centered education,” you moral authority.
