Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Do you find Hooters inappropriate for children too? Should we ban that or are boobies ok but men in costumes not?
I do, which is why I wouldn't bring a young kid there.
You mean, like a drag show? So, by your own logic, we shouldn't ban drag shows.
Correct, we shouldn't. But they also shouldn't be traveling to schools.
...but that isn't happening anyway.
We also shouldn't allow 1000 lb Kodiak brown bears or Taipan snakes in classrooms. We should start a large political movement that bans those things from school and also bans any mention of those things. Letting children draw bears and snakes is only allowing them to think bears and snakes are okay in school.
Or better yet, leave policitics out it, because its not political in the first place.
One time, my school brought a reptile guy to my school, and he showed us some pythons and lizards and a neat iguana. We should have banned him for being political because, as I said, dangerous snakes shouldn't be allowed in school, and to me (a bigpted low-life moron), all snakes are the same.
Aside from being a moron, you need to look up the definition of biggot. Contrary to your woke beliefs, it doesnt mean somebody you disagree with.
I disagree with myself?
The Catholic Church has demonstrably shielded pedophiles from the law who abused children. Should we have laws against them traveling to schools?
Hell, there's entire schools organized by the Catholic Church. How could you possibility trust them to not hide sexual abuse of students when they've already hidden sexual abuse before?
Henceforth, do you support a law that dismantles Catholic schools, or installs an FBI agent who can review any and all communications to ensure there are no cover ups?
If you do, more power to you. It seems that many others would balk at the idea of holding known pedophile protectors accountable.
Out of every person who does do this in the US, I'm willing to bet 99% of them at least pretend to their parents that they are a conservative Christian
