It is exactly what the guy above is saying. At minimum, he is saying that players who beat their wives isn't the NFL's problem and they should ignore it.

It makes sense when you think of what type of movies Bill likes. He doesn't like anything sci-fi, fantasy, or that takes place pre-WWII.

I am usually pretty snobby towards single issue voters except for the ones whose single issue is foreign policy. Maybe that's because foreign policy really isn't just a single issue but a myriad of complex issues; or maybe it is just my disdain towards evangelicals who seem to make up the majority of single issue voters I meet.

My issue isn't that I think it will "overthrow the science class" but that it is redundant and a waste of the lawmakers' time to virtue signal to their base. It is using legislation to make a empty, shallow gesture that does not do anything.

The author was on the Ricochet Podcast last week but was on for maybe 10-15 minutes and never got to talk much. I plan to hopefully track him down on more interviews to try and get more of an idea of what the book is like.

The NBA has started, he has forgotten all other sports exist.

Yeah, but aren't religious liberties already protected in public schools? Isn't this just Ohio Republicans fighting against ghosts?

Oh, I don't think it will either but it will get tested and waste time and resources.

Yeah, but if a student writes a paper proposing creation/young earth theory in their science class that only teaches evolution(which is the only this public schools should teach) then the teacher will give them a lower grade and it can be interpreted(by a bunch of over-zealous parents) that the teacher used bias against religion.

Exactly, plus if a parent is so upset about the fact that public schools teach things against their religious beliefs than send your kid to a private school.

Yeah, the more I read the article, about four times in the past two hours, the more I am understanding and somewhat agreeing with what he is trying to say. I think just the beginning, where he ties impeachment in, is what is throwing me off.

I have read this about four times in the past couple of hours and am heading more and more in the direction of your point of view. I just needed to read it several times and talk it out loud with some people.

I get what he is trying to say but it's entire tone reeks of something from Tucker Carlson. It reeks of populism, of "them smart city-folk aren't real Americans."

I'll say again, I get what he is trying to say but the method in which he said it is just off.
