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.

Marjorie Taylor Greene Claims Pete Buttigieg Emasculating Driving With Electric Cars

During a segment on Neil Cavuto’s Fox News program, US Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg was told by the host that Marjorie Taylor Greene is claiming "Mr. Buttigieg is trying to emasculate the way we drive" by supporting electric vehicles.  In response, Buttigieg told Cavuto that “my sense of manhood is not connected to whether my vehicle is fueled by gasoline, or whether it's fueled by electricity.”  When asked by Cavuto if he was offended by what Greene said, Buttigieg remarked "To be honest, there are other members of Congress that I pay more attention to when I'm thinking about opinions that really matter.” Oh, come on now!  Let’s get real.  It would take a helluva lot more than an electric car to “emasculate” Marjorie Taylor Greene.  Besides, I’m pretty sure “real men” actually ride horses, anyway.  Of course, I’m certainly no psychiatrist, but it sounds like Greene’s anger could be a combination of both “road rage” and “roid rage,” leaving her...

Mike Huckabee Claims COVID-19 Death Risk Small and Sin Risk Lethal

Mike Huckabee Claims COVID-19 Death Risk Small and Sin Risk Lethal:   Former Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee has stirred some controversy with medical professionals by claiming that the risk of death from coronavirus is very “minimal,” but “sin is 100% lethal. Oh, really Mike?  Then how about showing me a death certificate which lists “sin” as the primary cause of death.  Of course, the fact is, sin couldn’t be 100% lethal, or a guy like me wouldn’t even be alive to write this.   On the other hand, maybe you’re on to something Mike - and sin really is lethal, and I secretly used a “ghostwriter” to write this joke. https://www.johnnyrobishcomedy.com

Trump Takes to Truth Social to Spread ‘Roomer’ About Ron DeSantis

Former president Donald Trump just shared some juicy gossip about Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on his Truth Social platform.   Trump posted, “Roomer (sic) are (sic) strong in political circles that Ron DeSanctimonious, whose Presidential run is a shambles, and whose poll numbers have absolutely crashed, putting him 3rd and 4th in some states, will be dropping out of the Presidential race in order to run, in Florida, against Rick Scott for Senate.   Now that’s an interesting one, isn’t it?” Gee, Donald Trump spreading “roomers?”  Say it ain’t so!   Now, me thinks perhaps that prestigious Wharton School of Business Trump attended might want to consider adding some basic 3rd-grade spelling classes to its curriculum.   Apparently, Trump is stalled at that level of language development where he is still spelling words phonetically.   Why his poor spelling makes him look like a real “looser.”   Frankly, I’m not sure its a wise choice for Republicans to choose ...
