@Eric2, Blown because it's crazy, or just because it's new?

It was a tech school

Both

Fair

Democrats would suddenly care about the black vote.

I can't believe the anti free speech movement

I can.

@Jerm70, that's kind of happening now, so we'll see.

Free speech for me, not for thee.

All through middle and high school I was taught the goodness and importance of free speech

Its timeless.

"Hate speech is not free speech"

@Eric2, it was pretty much what was in the pipeline when my ex was doing his paper. Things that were "too important" or "too sensitive" to discuss fairly. In Academia. Where we were (at the time) supposed to be researching and working out the truth of things.

People aren't taught history very well.

people are not taught well period

Throughout history, 1000s of pounds of blood has been spilled in the name of freedom.

History had already gone to hell. One of my friends, a Japanese exchange student, had another guy that she knew but I did not, come up and apologize to her for the "hoax" of Pearl Harbor. Apparently, his American History teacher had taught him it was a complete hoax used to justify bombing the crap out of the Japanese.

all school teaches you is how to regurgitate facts and figures

She lit into him like mad. Apparently, managing that attack is something of a point of pride for some Japanese people.

My drawing teacher thought the "liberal" in a LIberal Arts degree was the political kind...

Imagine having pride in a terrorist attack.

japs deserved to get bombed

hoes mad

it doesn't teach you how to think

he shouldve showed captain doolittle memes and mad her cry

To be fair.

The Self Esteem class was part of the Women's Studies department, our textbook was a book from the 80s that basically blamed patriarchy for all female self esteem issues, and our professor was a self-proclaimed 50-year-old bull dyke.

My school taught me well that's what's weird

also to be fair on the japs they did pull pearl harbour off flawlessly

Had some fun messing with that narrative, but bleagh..

I'm glad I dodged this crazy stuff

The bombing of Pearl Harbor and the two nukes are equal in terms of barbaric nature.

@Jerm70, I don't see the logic there.

nah

barbarism is subjective

the nukes were in honorable warfare

Especially as the motivation was very different.

pearl harbour was an unprovked sneak attack

and surprise declaration of war

the very heart of dishonour

Well the nukes were done during a time of war when everyone was afraid of the ramifications of using them.
