    Every child should learn about their constitutional rights in grade school. But, I don't see that as an "agenda," as much as just teaching history and civics.

    Agenda is something designed to pull a person away from thinking into indoctrination.

    Like someone who professes to be pro-choice voting for Trump after he promised to appoint Supreme Court justices who would overturn Roe v. Wade?

    Pro-choice people can love the Constitution and understand what the word federalism is and how it works in America.

    Considering pro-choice is anti-woman why wouldn't they vote for constitutionalists ??

    I find this approach from far right hacks, which seems to be the go-to after Cons got their ass handed to them last month, to be absolutely hilarious.

    It’s hard to lecture people on education when your solution for education is to silence a Constitutional Amendment given if you don’t, the teacher may teach the wrong thing according to you.

    At some point you’ll have to come to grips with what Freedom means. Any parent complaining about what is being taught in school isn’t spending enough time with their kids to explain to them that education requires critical thinking. My boy knew from the 2nd grade to question EVERYTHING his teachers told him.

    Seems straight forward to me as a parent. What’s your deal?

    First and foremost, Trump did not, and still does not, know when to just shut up. The old adage of

    This is just a preposterously stupid thing to say. Here’s video of Obama answering questions from the House GOP caucus for almost an hour and a half. No one can watch this and think that Obama sounds like an imbecile. (And I laugh at the idea that Trump could have done anything remotely comparable.)
