Thoughts on the libs of tiktok situation?

Just looked it up.

So essentially someone who was anonymously posting videos which resulted in people losing their jobs for having a different political opinion is now crying about being outed?

What’s anti American about it? If I was American I’d be proud of the good things the country has done and ashamed of the bad things it’s done - including continuing systemic racism.

Which is absolutely the right way to go. But you can't say anti-abortion laws are just white supremacy. That is incredibly farfetched and akin to saying Ukraine is run by Neo Natsis...
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Not really as Ukraine obviously isn’t run by Neo Naaazies but the US does have a problem with systemic racism. Whether you believe the stuff in the article I posted is up to you and thus decides how long this debate will go for as there’s not really much I can do to convince you otherwise.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm not denying that there's a problem with systemic racism in America, there is. But there's a difference between saying that and then there is a law in place that is entirely because of white supremacy...

And then when I give you other examples of other countries with strict abortion laws you say "oh but it's different there" which is simply lazy.

Politics is in a sorry a sorry state. When did the left become so intolerant and illiberal?

People need to learn that people will always have opposing opinions, and that is a good thing. The moment people don’t want to hear people they don’t like saying things they don’t agree with, you lose freedom of expression.

The real crooks are governments we vote into power. The tax payers money is wasted in such high volumes there could be a middle ground that most people are happy with.

The ones preaching tolerance tend to be the most intolerant people out there...

It wasnt due to having a different political opinion that is ridiculous, these people were posting extremely weird stuff online and most of them were teachers.

Can't see any of the videos at the moment so happy to be wrong if it is indeed bizarre, but what I read said a teacher was harassed and sent death threats before being fired after the account reposted one of her videos in which she supported LGBT youth.

Unless that teacher was doing something illegal or predatory, to then complain that you're now receiving the same is all a bit crocodile tears for me.

Speaking from experience here. One of these Americans is one of those republican rednecks living in the middle of Texas and he's a lot more open to different opinions and ideas than many many people in this country despite the reputation...

Sounds like the exception rather than the rule. And that rule beinh Texas being one of the most intolerant states in the Union

They cry about the left being paedos and wronguns while passing laws that allow child marriage and their party is full of wronguns

Basically caaants.

Christian Conservatives in the US seem to care about life right through from conception until that person comes out as gay.

The bill disallows teachers from even talking about LGBTQ stuff to any kids at all. Imagine that kind of censorship in a ‘free’ country
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Remind me when as a kid you were taught about being straight?

Teachers are there to educate kids in the subjects and skills they need, Not teach them about sexual preferences.

This is the usual hyperbole about nothing.

I don’t remember a subject at school about anything other than science maths history PE design and technology, art and music

Not sure why banning a LGBTQRZUIOPFCBXX+ class is so controversial, except to the left.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

You never doing s3x education at school probably explains alot.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
So you did that in primary school?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Yes.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
What?! I sincerely hope you weren't home schooled...
----------------------------------------------------------------------

S3x education was part of the curriculum when I was in year 5. You learn about the human anatomy, puberty and reproductive organs.

I'm not sure why it is surprising. I think most people who are surprised by it are the idiots that think primary school s3x education involves interactive demonstrations.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You maybe a bit younger than me then (42) but it was late in the second year of high school before I got any s3x education at school, which was basically the school nurse showing how to put a condom on a banana. Totally pointless and I think had we learned what you learned at a younger age that would probably have been more beneficial.

You're not born gay, you are just forced to be gay at Primary School by teachers. That's why we need to put a stop to education in schools.

Calling teachers ‘evil’ and ‘groomers’, supporting Qanon theories, saying Trump won the election. Hate speech and disinformation are things that she’s been called out for. If she’s happy enough to do her thing and get teachers fired and help to stoke fires of division in the US then she was rightly outed.

Who?

I skipped through some of that Youtube link and saying they all deserve criticism is a bit mad.

There was one in there who simply said they ask their students to call them Teacher Robi instead to Ms Robi because they're non-binary, but if the students mess up sometimes then it's ok.

I'm sure there are incredibly preachy teachers out there who take it too far but including someone like that undermines the argument.
