    Excuse me, but as a Hoosier, I expect you to always use the full title when discussing Mr. Rokita: Attorney General, Colossal Shitrag and Future Governor Todd Rokita.

    Why yes, it does suck here.

    In making the announcement on the Tony Kinnett show, livestreamed on YouTube, Rokita stated that investigators would pore over submissions and post any they believed to be credible onto a publicly viewable database.

    In other words, they’re not going to act on the ones that don’t align with their own political ideology.

            The thing about conservatives is they are babies, they can’t handle an actual policy discussion and they don’t care. They just want a story about a bad guy to hate and they don’t care about any aspect of reality that doesn’t interface with that story they like. In the conservative viewpoint of the world NOTHING matters except narratives pre-processed into those little applesauce juice packs for kids that they can slurp up without having to use a spoon.

            If you start talking about the boring reality of governments and movements (I hate that “organizing” is a perfectly accurate term for building movements lol but that’s exactly what the work is) how change happens through policy making and how those policies can have reallllly annoying details that make them backfire or have the opposite impact they are supposed to (CAFE regulations with trucks and gas mileage in the US) conservatives just shit their pants and start screaming at you.

            Conservatives would really like to be able to enjoy their baby food without someone else (them it is always them) making another steaming turd appear in their pants, ruining the whole experience yet another time, but it almost never happens which is why they are so angry all the time. They are babies.

              Conservatives like using numbers over statistics until it matters. I remember them comparing the BLM move protest to the Jan 6 insurrection by quoting property damage as a justification. I have to speak to their emotions and hopefully makes some sort of connection before I can even begin to get them to understand my side.

        After our office consistently heard from student, parents, and teachers about objectionable curricula, policies, or programs affecting children, we launched the Eyes on Education portal.

        Our kids need to focus on fundamental educational building blocks, not political ideology - either left or right.

        Eyes on Education is a platform for students, parents, and educators to submit and view real examples from classrooms across the state.

        The Office of the Attorney General will follow up on materials submitted to the portal that may violate Indiana law using our investigative tools, including public records requests, and publish findings on the portal as well.

        To view examples or submit to the portal, select the school corporation and name of the school and upload your documents.

        Upon submission, someone from our office may contact you for additional information or clarification.

        Submissions to the portal will be reviewed and published regularly.

        this is the most ridiculous rhetorical doublespeak I’ve seen in a while. kids need to focus on education, not political ideology, so let’s shove some political ideology down their throats? And, of course, the ass-covering BS logical absurdity that anything “objectionable” must, certainly, be unsafe for children.

          I just watched a youtube video discussing how much fundies have had shel silverstein books banned over the years. I guess they found them “objectionable”. You know, where the sidewalk ends. Fucking psychopaths.

            Shel was a known cannabis user and a bit of a hippie. That’s probably why.

            Fun fact, he also wrote the Johnny Cash song, “a Boy Named Sue”

            They want objectionable Shel Silverstein? Because that can be arranged.

            (I don’t want them banning Shel Silverstein or anyone else, I just think it’s funny that they want to ban the only non-dirty stuff he ever did.)

            by the time I was in school - the age we were reading Silverstein - was the mid-late 80s. he’d a had couple banned by then, but my teachers were in love with him, so I got to read most of his books as a kid. what books of his weren’t assigned were to be found in our school’s library and were often fought over. we had a school that really pushed a curriculum that relied heavily on using both the school and local public library for research, even in elementary school. I remember my parts being annoyed at how often they had to take me to the library for even basic schoolwork.

            I loved it.

            I really lament that, today, with the internet, there isn’t a central public repository of trustworthy information for research. the closest is Wikipedia, and, for what it is, it’s pretty fucking great. It’s a great jumping-off point for anyone to start learning on any subject, and I’m super-glad it’s there.

            bringing it back around, Shel Silverstein was a wry observer of humanity but poked his finger in the eyes of too many powerful critics. He had a way of opening the minds of people - especially children - that made people who would like to manipulate the weak scared that Silverstein’s message would make their efforts more difficult. It’s no wonder the would wish to silence him.

            The theater adaptation of Where the Sidewalk Ends was one of our middle school plays at our decidedly “rural” school.

            One mom had a problem with it, and it was only with the “rebellious” bits. She shut up when every other parent rolled their eyes at her. It’s crazy how attitudes shift.

        Use tor before they start filtering it. That’s usually what they block first. Submit from multiple IPs to make it harder to filter. Be realistic - there are websites that’ll help you generate fake names, addresses. You can even use ChatGPT to write time wasting comments. Try to avoid using real people’s names so you don’t get innocents harassed.

    I’m not gay right now but possibly when I retire I’m gonna retire as gay. This ruins all my gay plans! What’s wrong with these guys? There’s nothing wrong with two perfectly sound of mind adults loving each other mentally and physically. I think we just need a federal law to protect us all from religious nuts. The LGBTQ+A acknowledgement act of 2024? How about that? Need some bacon on it? Okay, in small writing it allows the invasion of Iran, and 3 trillion aid to Ukraine. Oh, and Republicans can own slaves now, but here’s the catch, the slaves must be Republican originally and white and can only perform sex acts as slaves. If you own a slave you must carry said slave around with you at all times. Can that work? No? Ok if you’re republican you can have sex with your own relatives given that your relatives are already Republican on their own and have down syndrome insurance paid for before the acts. Abortion will be fully illegal for any Republican male, punishable with removal of the balls or entire penile removal if it was outside of the Republican party. Also Republicans reserve the right to bare arms and run diesel engines within the confines of their garages… Preferably at the same time. Garages must be made bulletproof.
