>Courtney Politis said the teacher apologized to her for the blackface incident. The educator, who is Argentinian, told her it was a cultural tradition in her country.

>The couple said it's no excuse.

>"It's not an accident. You know better," Courtney Politis said.

Does she? If she's a recent immigrant it's entirely possible that she's ignorant of the cultural context of blackface in America. See also: the Zwarte Piet character in Dutch Christmas celebrations.

That would make this an extremely unfortunate, but ultimately innocent, mistake. A little basic investigation will tell whether this was done with malice or simply ignorance. Teach her the history, accept her apology, and it won't happen again.

It doesn't give details--was this a case of the train "fits" but doesn't have the required clearance for turns and the like?

Nah, it's the TV cameras that are the issue. Head on they can bear an appreciable resemblance to an RPG.

Oh please that’s all policy is created on anymore is people’s feelings so what are you on about?

Edit: also your other two points are snarky and useless

Why am I not surprised?

Currently child marriage is legal in 44 states….

As of January 2022, in nine states there is no statutory minimum age when all exemptions were taken into account.

Between 2000 and 2018, nearly 300,000 minors were legally married in the United States

In most states marriage legally emancipates an individual…making them an adult…

As of July 2021, six states have banned underage marriages, with no exception.

What is America turning into when a man can’t even marry a 16 year old gi- I mean woman

Ricky?

>Say what you want.

That is generally how that works on public forums but I am glad I have your permission I suppose.

>I have a lot of different opinions on different topics

Yes, that is how humans tend to operate.

>but this is just bad. People getting played by social pressure just so pharmaceutical companies can reap profits off of something else all while laughing in our faces lying about everything

Your comment fails to prove any of the things you are saying. Yes, pharmaceutical companies can be exceptionally shitty but that doesn't mean every use of drugs as treatments is an example of that. If you want to prove that transgender treatments are a scheme by pharmaceuticals the bar for evidence should be a bit higher then your feelings.

America is disintegrating.

Dude you literally could have done the exact same thing with an air-soft rifle

if you ban alcohol and guns for toddlers the only drunk toddlers with guns are criminal drunk toddlers with guns

the only thing that's going to stop a bad drunk toddler with a gun is a good drunk toddler with a gun

that was your guys, lmao

Taliban hang pedos on tank barrels

I've met plenty of redditors who would say this in complete seriousness

Almost everywhere allows children to use firearms in appropriate environments with parental supervision. Many states also authorize children over X age (usually 12 or 14) to carry a gun while on their parent’s property (arguably for guarding cattle or whatnot— not really relevant to most kids today) with authorization from a parent.

The current status of the law in Missouri is insane— pretty sure even the Founding Fathers didn’t let children under drafting age just run around with guns.

Mississippi: I'm right here! I can hear you!

Honestly, how are Republicans supposed to make the world a better place without forced child marriage?

So sad it had to come to this

What if we only repealed the 26th? Would that kick the voting age back to the states? Was that how it was before? I was all of 2-months old, don't remember.

OMG guys, have you noticed how Republicans are clearly intimidated by the NRA's influence? It's a major concern, the NRA can manipulate the media and ruin politicians' careers.
