If you weren’t such an idiot and could actually read you would see that the ratings listed there do not confirm anything that I’m saying but give a very balanced point of view.

But what the books and readings do confirm is how obviously incorrect you are when you claim to know what is not being taught when in fact it actually is.

so many things and so many bogeyman living rent free in that empty head of yours. Please stop discussing things of which you clearly know absolutely nothing about and please please stop using the fact that you’re a teacher as an excuse for your stupidity when you’re trying to pretend you are knowledgeable
You are wasting your time on him

There was, perhaps, a time when someone might hang the Confederate Battle Flag as a sign of regional pride, or something.  Today, I think anyone who does that outside a museum is trying to send a message, a clear one.  I cannot think of another reason to display it today.  imagery counts.  If I see one, I am justified in making an assessment about the individual displaying it.

There used to be a barn just off I-71 north of Cincy that had it on its roof.

I don't see them around here for some reason.  I see a LOT of "gay flags" though.


Last time I was in Myrtle Beach there was a coffee shop that displayed a rainbow Confederate flag.

Why do you only concern yourself with the most radical, tiny tip of far-leftist garbage you can find news about? 
Me being a teacher is sort of pertinent, don't you think - as I look through the actual standards we're tasked with teaching on an annual basis. 
You have no firsthand knowledge of this, just responding with outrage at things you read about and are told to be outraged about.
.
You're obsessed with fringe bullshit. 
When it is being taught at certain school districts, a growing list of universities and corporate training, and especially being debated by those who are supposed to represent all of us-it is not fringe. 

Have you read the curriculum being trained at Coca-cola?
Get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please.

I mean, isn't that sort of the point here?

Like, we don't bring up a hot button topic such as this unless we want to get into a spicy argument with someone we think is irrational. Whether it's you or him bringing up something like this, the final point is to waste time getting heated about it.

If everyone just didn't waste time replying to the most fiery of political/culture war takes from people whose opinions they loathe, we'd just be talking either football or the topics that we can have more nuanced and productive back and forths about.

Oh that's weird. 

Also, the Ohio-Myrtle Beach connection is for some reason always funny to me.

The Nazis, and Hitler, started WW Two, most of it anyway, leading to the deaths of how many, 40 million? 80?  We don't even know.  And how much massive destruction?

The 6 million is horrific of course and hard to imagine, civilians and defenseless (for the most part). 


  • World War II was the deadliest military conflict in history in terms of total dead, with some 75 million people casualties including military and civilians, or around 3% of the world’s population at the time.
  • Many civilians died because of deliberate genocide, massacres, mass-bombings, disease, and starvation.
  • The Soviet Union lost around 27 million people during the war, including 8.7 million military and 19 million civilians. This represents the most military deaths of any nation by a large margin.
  • Germany sustained 5.3 million military losses, mostly on the Eastern Front and during the final battles in Germany.
  • Of the total number of deaths in World War II, approximately 85 percent were on the Allied side and 15 percent were on the Axis side, with many of these deaths caused by war crimes committed by German and Japanese forces in occupied territories.
  • Nazi Germany, as part of a deliberate program of extermination, systematically killed over 11 million people including 6 million Jews.
  • In addition to Nazi concentration camps, the Soviet gulags (labor camps) led to the deaths of 3.6 million civilians.



We spent a night in Orlean, pretty nice city, interesting, most of it was bombed out, and they tried to rebuilt is something like how it was.  We did the bombing of course.  Probably the best B&B I've ever stayed at there.




Funny how no one ever mentions the six million Chinese that were killed by Japan during WWII.

Also worth remembering, the Holocaust was not purely aimed at Jews. It was also aimed at gypsies, socialists, unionists, homosexuals, the disabled, plus Soviets, Poles and probably another group. 

I think the total was like 17 million.
