I love Ribbonfarm because even though I hardly ever agree with the articles' main points they provoke thoughts and provide a model for actual discussion of ideas.  :)

Actually, and this is a 100% true story, I have a friend who is a vice principal and there's a student in her school who identifies as a cat (sometimes) and they let her go under her desk to meow.

I wish I were making that up.  I asked her why they let her do that, and apparently she has some complex mental issues.

Uh.... sounds like she doesn't belong in a regular classroom but if she has "mental issues" that's really something different.  If she isn't disruptive they might be better off in the classroom if everyone is ok with it.  Not normal tho.

I had a Little Golden biography of Churchill and another of JFK when I was a kid. I didn't realize I was being indoctrinated. I thought it was just educational.

True.  The Bader one isn't that bad.  But I wonder if Clarence Thomas will get one lol.

What do you think of the others?

I looked some of these books up and they are real.  This is scary.  Politically-charged books for kids is weird.

Like WTF is this sh*t..."for pre-schoolers"?:



there's fine people on both sides!

Today I learned that a book about Black History or Fauchi is considered indoctrination...

Brought to you by the people who politicized everything...

Nobody tell this dude about The Lorax or the Sneetches.

Anyway, if you don't like them, just don't buy them.
