Texas School District Demands Teachers Offer Opposing Views of the Holocaust


Gina Peddy, the Carroll School District's executive director of curriculum and instruction in Southlakem, Texas, is under fire for advising teachers to present "opposing" viewpoints if they're going to provide books teaching their students about the Holocaust.  This directive came after Texas passed a law intended to counter “Critical Race Theory,” by banning the teaching of concepts that could make individuals feel guilt or anguish due to their race.

Teach the “good points about the Holocaust?”  Sure, why not?  But why stop there?  Hell, we may as well also teach students the “good points” about cancer, heart disease, the Fukushima tsunami, and the benefits of LA traffic during rush hour - while we’re at it.  Now, in that spirit, I’m certain Republicans would have no issue when students “pledge allegiance,” if they pledged allegiance to the flags of both the United States and the People's Republic of China, just so kids fully grasp the opposing points of view.


But I get it.  Hell, Texas Republicans wanna make sure no white child has to grow up feeling any shame over their parent’s latent white supremacist, neo-Nazi sympathies, so they’ve mandated that children should also be taught about “the good aspects of gassing and burning millions of Jews, Gypsies, homosexuals, intellectuals, and leftists.”  Who could find fault with that?  I mean, it wasn’t like it was unexpected.  After all, first Republicans tried to convince us slavery wasn’t really all that bad - and now they’ve just extended that analysis to the Holocaust.

The thing is - before Texas Republicans took action, who even dreamed teaching about the Holocaust could be considered controversial?  To whom?  But, then again - this is Texas.  Anyone curious what a so-called “Holocaust opposing viewpoint” might look like?  Well, “Mein Kampf” comes to mind.  In fact, I’m sure in no time, book distributors will be scratching their heads and asking “Wonder why we’re getting all these huge orders for Mein Kampf from the Texas Board of Education?”


So, it appears that in Texas, Republicans want to ensure that children will be exposed to both the truth AND revisionist lies - just so no one is offended.  Well, let’s be honest here.  The way I see it, it doesn’t take a genius, or an extensive background in World War II history, to figure out that the only folks who might possibly hold an “opposing view” to teaching that the Holocaust was one of the most horrific atrocities in human history - would be those who’d love to see it repeated.

Sen. Katie Britt Blames Biden for a Rape 20 Years Ago in Mexico

During what many are calling an absolutely insane rebuttal to President Biden’s “State of the Union” address, Sen. Katie Boyd Britt (R-Ala.), walked onto a studio sound stage (set up like an upper-middle-class kitchen) and began to link a harrowing account of a young woman’s sex trafficking and rape by a Mexican drug cartel, to Joe Biden’s immigration policies of the 2020s.  She did this even though the abuse happened nearly 20 years ago and in Mexico - and at a time when Republican George W. Bush was president, not Joe Biden.  The girl about whom Sen. Britt spoke - was thrown out of her house by her mother at age 12 and eventually “fell prey to a professional pimp.”  There is no evidence that she was ever held by a drug cartel, as Katie claimed.  In addition, the young victim testified that most of her clients for prostitution were foreigners visiting Mexico to have sex with underage girls.   Okay, so now let me get this straight.  A young Mexican fema...

GOP Lawmaker Says Trump’s Conduct Crosses Impeachment Threshold

GOP Lawmaker Says Trump’s Conduct Crosses Impeachment Threshold:   Rep. Justin Amash (R-Mich.), has become the first Republican congressman to publicly state that, based on the Mueller Report - the President “engaged in impeachable conduct.”  Rep. Amash further added that Attorney General Barr “deliberately misrepresented” the Mueller Report’s findings to congress and to the American public. Oh boy!   One can only imagine the 3 AM tweet storm that’s gonna emanate from Trump’s porcelain throne over this level of betrayal.  I’ll tell you another thing, disloyalty of this magnitude to the Cult of Trump isn’t likely to set well in America’s trailer parks either.   But then again, what else is new?  After all, Republicans have never viewed reality as being in their best interests.  Now, I have no idea how all this is gonna finally go down, but I do know one thing - Justin Amash is definitely not gonna get an invite to Donald Trump's next wedding....

Nigerian President Denies Dying and Being Replaced by a Clone

Nigerian President Denies Dying and Being Replaced by a Clone:  Speaking at a recent conference, Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari denied claims that he had died and been replaced by a Sudanese impostor or a clone, breaking his silence on a rumor that has been circulating on social media for months. Wait a minute, I think I saw that movie - “ Weekend at Muhammadu’s. ”  And, if I remember correctly - wasn’t it was a Sudanese actor who played the lead?  Who do they think they’re kidding anyway?  After all, I wasn’t born yesterday! Now, of course, I’m sitting out here in California - so I have no sure-fire way to confirm or deny all these rumors, but I do know one thing - if you can’t believe Nigerian e-mails and social media posts, what the hell can you believe? https://www.johnnyrobishcomedy.com
