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.

Trump Demands Constitution Be Set Aside and He Be Reinstated as President

Reacting to a Twitter post from Elon Musk who claimed Democrats violated the 1st Amendment by collaborating with big tech (Twitter), to remove tweets that featured pornographic photos of Hunter Biden during the 2020 election,” former President Donald Trump took to his Truth Social platform to demand that the United States Constitution be set aside and that he be reinstated as president.   Trump further claimed that "A Massive Fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution.   Our great 'Founders' did not want, and would not condone False & Fraudulent Elections!” Now, let me get this straight, Trump wants the US Constitution to be suspended - because Twitter refused to publish photos of “Hunter Biden's junk” during that last presidential election?  The thing is Elon, Democrats weren’t even in power in 2020 - Trump was, which would make it a bit difficult for them to violate the...

Anti-Vax Newsmax Host Says Diseases are Supposed to Kill People

Conservative network Newsmax has been forced to “distance itself” from remarks uttered by host Rob Schmitt this week, who claimed that vaccines go "against nature" because diseases are "supposed to wipe out a certain amount of people,” and that vaccinations “unnaturally interfere with viruses' designs on killing people.” Wow, kinda looks like the “Schmitt” has really hit the fan over at Newsmax.  So, they want to “distance” themselves from Schmitt’s remarks, do they?  Gee, makes you wonder if the morons who run Newsmax know they actually have the option not hire anti-science nitwits like Schmitt as anchors in the first place?  Not to worry though, should Schmitt get fired, I'm sure folks like Kevin McCarthy or Rand Paul would warmly welcome him to become part of their staffs. Of course, the truth is, what Schmitt is really promoting is “Social Darwinism.”  Given that, I assume by the same logic he applies to vaccines, one may conclude that by warning people ...

2020 GOP Senate Nominee Claims the Equality Act Will ‘Illegalize’ Jesus Christ

The Equality Ac t is a bill before the United States Congress, that would simply prohibit discrimination on the basis of sex, sexual orientation and gender identity in employment, housing, public accommodations, education, federally funded programs, etc.   It doesn’t dictate what churches or religious people must believe, but that hasn’t stopped right-wing, QAnon, and flat Earth activist Lauren Witzke - the GOP’s failed 2020 Senate candidate from Delaware - from going on Alan Jones’ InfoWars and claiming that the bill will “illegalize Jesus Christ” and “categorize the Scripture as hate speech.” Well, given her stance on immigrants, I can’t imagine why she’d ever object to anyone “trying to illegalize Jesus Christ.”  I mean, by her standards - isn’t Jesus basically just another “illegal immigrant” from the Middle East?  So, what’s the problem?  Why, if you don’t believe me, then try telling some border patrol agent “but, but, I’m the son of God” - and see how far ...
