Good pantheon of ruling dogs, the stupid is spreading faster than Covid. The US needs to import an education system that works from somewhere. It would be worth the money. And what gets me is she admits and knows the white Europeans that came here stole the lands and tried to wipe out the native people but thinks the natives did that for us / people like her? They were willing to sacrifice themselves and all they had so the white people could worship Jesus!
But she is not alone in the idea that the US founding fathers created the country (everyone fought for the same thing because no one had different ideas back then on what should be the way the country was to be run and what rules to have, again the refusal to learn history is stunning) to worship her god Jesus, so when the constitution says freedom of religion it really means only freedom to worship the Jesus religion so the rest of you religions just get the fuck out.
I got to stop here; I feel a rant building that is not good for my health.

But the reason for this explosion in sports bans isn’t a surge of trans student athletes
