I thought the whole point of schools was that parents simply are not able to teach their kids everything they need to know.
Specially in a world and age where knowledge grows at an exponential rate.

Don't get me started.

There is a hell of a lot to unpack in that statement. I'll start with children of color can't be Christian?

From the article:
When questioned about her comment, Beeman said, "The statement I made was poorly worded and shown out of context. Guilford students who may have staunch Judeo-Christian values, or simply are conservative thinkers, have been bullied into submission by their teachers and fellow students with left-leaning ideologies."

Former Guilford Chairman Bill Bloss said, "exactly what context would that comment be positive in."

Plus: is it a ZERO SUM game? "Sorry, you can't have feelings of belonging because, other people have them"-

Translation, children came home with new knowledge and their backwards conservative, potentially racist, pseudo-Christian parents didn't like it and complained.

Is this an additional "secret gift" from Deutsche? I'm a bit too lazy to read the thing. I thought one of their gifts is that they forgave his giant debt, which included not only the loan on this hotel but a lot of other money he's been owing them for decades?

I know Deutsche Bank will be devastated to hear this but: I would never have my money in that bank.
And it is not because of their ties to Tiny. They really seem to be as dishonest as an European bank can be.

It's tricky because a good friend of mine works at Deutsche Bank. He likes to point out it's a "different" part of DB than all the scandalous parts and I hate to tell him it's still the same company.

I am not sure what the recipe for a civil war is, but I am sure that one the main ingredients is: "Total wacko-nut jobs, able to buy and own large numbers of high powered weapons with unlimited supplies of ammunition. Be sure to mix with religious/fanatical leaders for extra volatility".

I worry about those who live in states like Tennessee who are not in on the MAGA grift.

It's also interesting to think about what would happen if these lunatics get their wish and recreate the Confederacy, something that would cut them off from all of the assistance they get from blue states. I have to find an article I read from the Guardian about what is happening post Brexit and Boris Johnson's game playing with people's lives. I think something similar would happen if these people got their wish.
