Maybe this is the difference between us, you're speaking from the perspective of a parent who is open and welcoming of their kid, and wants to do right by them. But I doubt you're the kind of parent whose kid would feel the need to conceal themselves from you.

I'm thinking about the parents I had, the kinds of people who will take a kid's door off the hinges if they suspect there's masturbation taking place, or beat them savagely for 'seeming queer.' People like that don't have a trusting bond in the first place, just authority and wants.

If I told my parents I was gay, they wouldn't customize my sex education and get me on prep, they'd kick my ass and keep me from my friends.

Depends on the private school, be very aware

Your points imply that there is some risk inherent to kids being gay and their parents not knowing yet, but I don't see the actual harm there. I am very familiar with the harm inherent in outing people, even adults- they can face ostracism, abuse, discrimination, lose their jobs, etc. But the other side of the coin is not apparent to me at all.

What is the potential harm that outing children averts? I honestly have been trying to think of anything.

The Republicans are fascists. No asterisk, it's the whole thing.

So right there is an excellent reason not to have schools police childrens' sexualities and report them to their parents. School was my refuge from the abuse of my parents.

You are gay and married to another gay person, do neither of you know any of the countless people who'd have been abused and/or disowned if their parents had known? I'm straight and I know a bunch of them.

This is weird, I don't really buy it. The hero/savior bullshit that Trump's ass-lickers do is not cool, and that's not only because he's a fascist. No man should be worshipped.

Yeah, the article. It doesn't really make a case for CT being the "most stressed" at all

I do see why a lot of people would not want their kids to learn about why their parents' beliefs are harmful and ignorant. That's why the parents must be countered. They are wrong.

If your perspective is that America doesn't have a racism problem, then yeah. Ignorance and apathy are important parts of white supremacy. You don't have to scream slurs at people to participate in racism. Looking the other way does most of the harm by itself.

Believing that our culture is not riddled with the legacy and effects of racism is a way of being incorrect. It's the truth. Racism was literally the law for most of our history. I am married to someone a different color than me, which was illegal until just a few decades ago until a Supreme Court case had to override a lot of state laws. To pretend that racism is not woven into the fabric of American history and life is to be ignorant of reality.

And nobody's education is "race first."

This is why your perspective must be opposed and counteracted. If the ignorance is allowed to continue, the damage can never be healed.

My position is anti-racism, so... no. If people have a problem with anti-racism, they're racist. That's the only place the objection could come from.

There's no reason to dance around it. Racists are idiots, and society needs them not to fuck their kids up. The rest of us will have to deal with the adults they become.

Yes.

Because parents often don't teach them, or teach the opposite on purpose. My parents raised me to be racist as shit, and the only reason I am not is that I got away and learned from other people.

If that was true, you'd have looked this thing up instead of coming here to make bitchy implications

Correct, but remember- these people aren't really upset about CRT. They're mad about the concept of respect for different cultures, empathy, and skills to negotiate differences. They don't want the white supremacy of their personal beliefs interfered with.

Whatever you're talking about is not Critical Race Theory. Relax. The memes have lied to you.

Your objections are irrelevant nonsense. A nation can have a military and internet trolls at the same time. Russia isn't one guy with a to-do list. And we've already seen extensive proof that they fuck with our elections and social media. There's no mystery.

You're objecting to reality based on nothing. That's why you take random swings at insulting me, instead of putting forth any counterpoint.

Every cult does this. When cornered on the facts, members default to treating outsiders as though they're insane. This is because you can't form a coherent counterpoint and you knew that before you started bloviating.

Why wouldn't they? If your goal is to support Republican traitors in their political efforts, and a Republican is running in CT, you're going to get involved in CT elections. This really isn't complicated.

CT elects Republican traitor governors from time to time, it's not like the goal is impossible.

This is really complicated, try to keep up:

Connecticut residents vote in elections.

The leaders are just a summary of the voters. Bob is what Republicans are and want. They're fucking terrible, stupid people

Well now I'm confused. Are you some kind of joke bot that I'm not understanding?
