What? Creationism is relative to the general field of science! Creationism does not teach a specific religion, if that’s where you’re going. You’re hung up on the God thing.
CRT is not in any way comparable. The shark has officially been jumped!
What part of creationism doesn’t imply some Supreme Being that created everything? -

i dont design any curriculums, CRT that has nothing to do with science. We in VA voted for who we wanted to be in charge of the curriculum, you just dont like the outcome.
No. The outcome is fine.
Here’s the wording from the EO:
For the purposes of this Executive order “inherently divisive concepts” means advancing any ideas in violation of Title IV and Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, including, but not limited to of the following concepts (i) one race, skin color, ethnicity, sex, or faith is inherently superior to another race, skin color, ethnicity, sex, or faith; (ii) an individual, by virtue of his or her race, skin color, ethnicity, sex or faith, is racist, sexist, or oppressive, whether consciously or subconsciously, (iii) an individual should be discriminated against or receive adverse treatment solely or partly because of his or her race, skin color, ethnicity, sex or faith, (iv) members of one race, ethnicity, sex or faith cannot and should not attempt to treat others as individuals without respect to race, sex or faith, (v) an individual's moral character is inherently determined by his or her race, skin color, ethnicity, sex, or faith, (vi) an individual, by virtue of his or her race, skin color, ethnicity, sex, or faith, bears responsibility for actions committed in the past by other members of the same race, ethnicity, sex or faith, (vii) meritocracy or traits, such as a hard work ethic, are racist or sexist or were created by a particular race to oppress another race.
- Creationism assumes what? A Devine being.
- do all religions have a Devine being? No.
- Per the EO - “advancing any ideas in violation of Title IV and Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, including, but not limited to of the following concepts (i) one race, skin color, ethnicity, sex, or faith is inherently superior to another race, skin color, ethnicity, sex, or faith;”
- If a teacher is teaching some Devine entity created everything, wouldn’t that advance the idea that a faith with a Supreme Being is superior to a faith without a Supreme Being?

Thanks! It’s so rare that anyone answers a question on here, so I appreciate it. And the very mention of creation theory bothers you? Scientists have been debating this for centuries! For example…are you aware that with all your non-creation based science they still have ZERO idea where all the water on earth came from?
I didn’t say I had an issue with creationism. I said creationism is an ideology that is being taught. If you are against ideology being taught such as CRT, then you should also be against teaching an ideology like creationism. Why should one party pick and choose which ideology is taught?Further, to tie this to VA. VA has an email where you can tell on teachers for teaching divisive topics. You can see the executive order for what exactly divisive is, but it’s main target is CRT. I’d say creationism also falls under divisive theory as it puts Christians and other religions with a Supreme Being thinking they are better than religions that do not have a Supreme Being.
8 minutes ago, Beach said:i dont design the curriculum, but all the options are theories.
Then you shouldn’t design the curriculum if CRT is taught or not either. (Even though to tie this back to VA, it’s not taught) -

You keep mentioning it so I just have to ask….What exactly do you think creationism is?
“the belief that the universe and living organisms originate from specific acts of divine creation, as in the biblical account, rather than by natural processes such as evolution.”11 minutes ago, Beach said:creationism is mentioned in hs as a possibility along with the scientific theories
Why should it be taught or mentioned at all if it’s an ideology vs scientific? Not just ideology, but a Biblical ideology that could be divisive in leading kids to think l w religion is better than others. -

Man, Fairfax County is almost giving Loudoun County a run for its money.
Almost.
Menstrual products in the boys’ bathrooms.
Yeah yeah yeah, we’ve said this before and we’ll keep saying it … this is why Youngkin won. Seriously.
Thanks for point this out!This is the 3rd richest county in the US. As proud Republicans like yourself, you adhere to a policy of local government. So it’s great they’re getting together locally to find solutions that apply to them vs looking at big government.
I think we can all agree that the wealthy have problems the poor can’t understand or that the wealthy have enough money where major concerns of the poor aren’t an issue so they can focus on issues important to them.
Maybe Erie county and Wyoming county should pull themselves up by the bootstraps and be as rich as Fairfax county so one day they may be concerned with issues like this vs things like getting by just paying their bills.

This isn’t college where students are debating things on a much deeper level having had some life experience and a foundation in the years before. You do realize that there’s only so much time in a K12 school day…right? With the explosion of ‘information’ in the 21st Century you couldn’t even scratch the surface on many of them…”ideological” discussions are beyond the brain development of younger kids. In your world….Would you like a week on witchcraft?
So we should dump creationism from the high schools?-

So not one person actually suggested burning but the opponents tell the lie and you repeat. If you want to argue against banning books for children that is a discussion that can be had, but to flat out lie as you are doing makes it clear you know that forcing students to read books they are not ready for emotionally is something that should be stopped. No one is stopping students from getting Maus from the public library, just from the school.
I totally understand you not reading all the books available to you may have hurt your reading comprehension.As a liberal, I’m totally cool with your disability.
I think this article spells it out a bit more:
“Two board members, Courtland representative Rabih Abuismail and Livingston representative Kirk Twigg, said they would like to see the removed books burned. “I think we should throw those books in a fire,” Abuismail said, and Twigg said he wants to “see the books before we burn them so we can identify within our community that we are eradicating this bad stuff.””
So yes, there is conservatives looking to burn books in public education they disagree with.It’s not a lie. It’s a direct quote from the horses mouth.

All ideology? CRT, creationism, etc. -

You’re a fascist posing as a liberal. You want opposing views shutdown, against free speech and fair elections.
You’re guilty of everything you accuse people who have differing opinions of doing. You’re dishonest, your views are dangerous and you are a enemy of this country.
You are a fascist. Plain and simple.
Would you consider it fascist to burn books a group doesn’t agree with or restrict what people can be taught in schools because it doesn’t meet the people trying to restrict the idea’s ideology? -

So you're saying one of the main reasons people voted for Biden is because he promised to nominate a black Supreme Court Justice? Holy Smokin' Joe Frazier! I think your Chef spiked your tacos last night.
I didn’t say it was a main reason but was part of his platform and campaign promises. People voting for him knew if he had a chance to elect a Supreme Court Justice, it’s what he would do.Knowing that, people didn’t find it objectionable and voted for him in record numbers.
9 minutes ago, Doc said:Again, it was Trump's 3rd SCOTUS pick, not his first. And he picked 2 guys before her. It makes complete sense that it would be a woman. But he didn't specify race.
And going into the voting booth, you knew Biden would pick a black woman for Supreme Court Justice if elected. So when you did your mental calculus on who to vote for, that probably would play some part of your decision as you weigh both parties platforms. -
1 minute ago, Doc said:
Why not a woman, after picking 2 men?
It seems like it’s the same issue people are having here with Biden fulfilling a campaign promise. Trump picked someone solely due to their sex. After RBG passed his quote was “it will be a woman” If the most qualified person was a woman then that’s fine, but to narrow your scope before picking is a disservice.Its not something Trump ran on. So when you voted for Trump you didn’t know he would pick a Justice not based on qualification.
Here Biden said what he would do and he’s doing it.
11 minutes ago, Buffalo Timmy said:When I vote I go for the lessor of two evils each time, no politician really represents me, therefore my vote is not Carte Blanche. Did you believe everyone who voted for Trump were happy with all of his stances?
Trump says he will build a wall. If you don’t support a wall and you vote for him, don’t be surprised when he tries to build a wall.Same here. Everyone that voted for Biden knew his stance on a Supreme Court Justice and he’s fulfilling his promise.

1 minute ago, Buffalo Timmy said:
What a ridiculous response, the debate is whether it is right or wrong. It did not end the day he was elected anymore than anything Trump did ended the day he was elected. You act as if people voting for him gives Carte Blanche.
Color me shocked a politician is going to do something he says he’s going to do.I don’t like it and think the job should go to the best qualified liberal judge. Just like I didn’t like when Trump said he would pick a woman (something I don’t believe he even ran saying he would do)
But yes, voting for someone who says they will do something gives that person carte Blanche to do the thing he said he would do prior to you voting for him.

That’s not the debate we’re having. The debate is not whether voters knew it but whether candidates should be saying anything like that at all.
That’s a silly debate. He said it like over a year ago. People made the decision whether they liked that or not. And now he’s following through.Right or wrong, the debate ended when a record number of US people voted for Biden and as such voted for his very publicly announced policy decision on how he would pick a Supreme Court Justice.

Being in Virginia, it’s pretty scary what all this fake posturing has led to.
We have people burning books - https://www.businessinsider.com/virginia-school-board-members-call-for-books-to-be-burned-2021-11
We have a hotline to call to tell people if what is being taught doesn’t fit the Republican idea of education - https://www.wsj.com/articles/new-virginia-hotline-lets-parents-report-divisive-teaching-practices-11643236044

How about a gay male? The list of candidates that would add to the diversity of the court is long. He and the Biden administration don’t care about diversity.
You held the same stance in the Amy Comey Barrett debacle where Trump said he would pick a woman. And I agree that we shouldn’t pick a Justice based on factors other than their qualifications.The only reason I give pause here is when Biden ran for President one of his promises was he would select a black woman for the Supreme Court if he had the chance. The American voters knew this and elected him with the greatest number of votes possible.
So a vast majority of US people knew this would happen and voted in record numbers for it. If people objected to it, more people would have voted against Biden.

So she cooks your steak for you? Does she cut it up into nice little bite sized pieces for you? Man up man!! Fire up the grill! Throw that ***** slab of meat on the fire. Make your wife proud. I bet she cried herself to sleep Tuesday. 😁
If she was crying Tuesday it was because she was finally able to find a Dyson Airwrap.Shes we’ll taken care of and hasn’t had to work, cool or clean in about 9 years and can buy whatever she wants. (Well the cooking thing has been for about 6 months)

Wait. You’re reheating a steak @Backintheday544 ??
No, that’s why it’s listed first. It was the Tuesday meal (the day she cooks).We actually found her from some friends at our gym. She does meal prep and stuff for people for some of our friends.

Yeah, was thinking of that as well. I'm assuming it gets frozen, which is better than a TV dinner.
We have her do 4 full meals. We used to do 5 but it was so much food. We will eat a new meal each of the 4 days, Sunday we get pizza for football and left overs the other 2 days.Even with that cycle it’s hard to eat everything and I’ll use leftovers for lunches, which also decreases the cost per meal.
This week, we had:
- Steak with double baked potatoes
- chicken enchiladas
- Stuffed shells with garlic bread
- Beef and Broccoli (Tonight’s food).
All the food comes to where we usually just need to toss the oven on 350 for 25 mins to warm it up.

No. My time is worth more than the time to do something’s. So tasks I can delegate where I’ll earn more money during that time vs the cost of delegation, it’s 100 percent worth it. -

Is Chef Jim your personal chef? Wouldn't that be an odd coincidence?
Our chef is a female. It’s actually pretty awesome. She sends us a meal plan once a week, then grocery shops for the foods and cooks a weeks worth of dinner every Tuesday.Chef fee is just $200 a week plus we give her the cash for the groceries.
For that cost, the time savings alone is so worth it. Plus it reduces eating out which can get expensive.

As explained in another thread. I do not go to a grocery store. With a personal chef and Instacart that isn’t really a thing worth doing.Having a degree doesn’t make someone intelligent.

DeSantis For President in 2024?

With the news coming out about Trump
and tearing up documents he shouldn’t, it could be a great time to revisit the Trump-DeSantis ticket.
The main is if they are a ticket, the Dems automatically won Florida under the constitution.
In order for the Dems not to win, Trump would need to pay NY taxes as a resident or DeSantis would need to leave Florida and then no be governor if they lose (looking back at the last election the Dems ran the Cryptkeeper and kicked Trumps ass so it’s a great possibility)
So, if an org so inept they didn’t know don’t tear up documents, would they even think of this? The Trump team has shown before they don’t care about the constitution but if it’s in a national election can they ignore it?
