A Southern California school board on Friday adopted a social studies curriculum that includes gay rights that was approved by parents and teachers after initially rejecting it.

    This shit isn’t being brewed up by the people in rural school districts, whom you so rudely slur as “cousinfuckers”.

    It’s being brewed up by frat boys in right-wing think tanks — if we want a sexual slur, they’re not cousinfuckers; they’re Kavanaugh-style rapists — and sold to big, rich states like Texas and Florida first.

    The ignorance isn’t organic. It’s manufactured deliberately, by people who did go to college.

      Defend them all you want, those cousinfuckers are the ones voting for it and committing violence for it.

        The point is, not everyone who lives there is a “cousinfucker”. In fact there are many lgbtq+ people effected by this.

        Majority vote does not equal everyone.

          I’m gonna massively contribute to this discussion by saying that it’s “affected” instead of “effected” :D

          And some text to spare anyone the need to look up the difference:

          • affected - meaning that something was influenced or changed (e.g. the lyrics affected him)
          • effected - meaning that something was brought about or facilitated (e.g. she effected the proposed changes)

          And a mnemonic I stumbled across while looking up the exact difference:
          “Affect is an Action. Effect is an End Result.”

          Well, and thus a few minutes of my nightly time go by. Hm.

      Rude of you to think that all cousinfuckers are rural. Rudy Giuliani was born in the largest US metro and is a cousinfucker.

      Yeah the cousinfuckers didn’t give a shit that long ago. It’s rich educated people paying Harvard educated lawyers to sow divisions lest we all realize that the rich sold our present for money.
