Then democrats added an amendement that applied gun control across the state to the bill

And you'd be skewered alive by the existing institutions.

lol i mean i have unironically been writing up a platform sooooooo

What, I want history and nothing but history. I don't want any political bias in history class.

So for me trying to make things better for my citizens would get me skewered alive?

Following this they had a sit in at the NC capitol with juice boxes

you will never satisfy everyone

just know that going in

It's impossible to satisfy everyone

The goal is to find a solid base and stick to them while appealing to moderates

I want to give them choices, the tools, and the ability to better thanselves aka equal opportunity.

Dont disallow the press and act like everything you say will end up on the nightly news

END THE TEXTBOOK MONOPLY

sorry

had to

Dont say equal opportunity

Youll go down a bad road very quickly

How?

It's better to appeal to the political center for 2 reasons, as I see things:

1. You get more support if you appeal to the political center
2. Your policies are more balanced if you appeal to the political center

There may be other positives, but I haven't thought of them

*Sighs.* Equal opportunity allows for people the chance to pull themselves out of poverty and earn the life they want to live.

Why is that a bad thing?

Because it will be twisted into something its not

It's also the law as written for now under the 14th amendment.

because of the current dialogue around it i assume

Equality on the other hand is forcing people to be equal.

Dont use taglines, say what you will do

you could argue instead to enforce the 14th

Equal opportunity starts at the family level, before you ever enter school

@Dusty Morgan They now use the word "equity" for that.

Some people have families that can afford books and encourage them to read. Other families dont care/cant afford those books.

Obviously those kids who are encouraged to read will have an unfair advantage over other students

There in, that is why there is the "CHANCE."

Hence there is no equality of opportunity in that situation

They get a chance... when other countries they don't get a chance.

@Dusty Morgan I think a better way to start into the textbooks would be to run on a policy of reducing textbook costs.

"provide better access to educational material" - maybe?

@Blackhawk342 I'd actually emphasize the Equal opportunity angle. It drives a nice wedge and most people (minorities included) really want "equal opportunity" It's only really academics and activists at this point who favor "equity"

Almost everybody agrees that textbooks are way too expensive because the publishers have monopolies on them

But there is a lot of bias being introduced in school books now.

It's a bunch of philosophizing. But it plays well and establishes a point.

its all about playing the game
