"Religion can never reform mankind because religion is slavery." — Robert G. Ingersoll, 1899
Like…it’s so easy!

"The bosom of America is open to receive not only the opulent and respectable stranger, but the oppressed and persecuted of all nations and religions." - George Washington in an address to Irish Immigrants in New York City, December 2, 1783

I feel like this phrasing is a cover to allow for things like male and female circumcision on infants while denying other types of gender-affirming care.

Kids should have equal rights in this country because the constitution says they should. There’s nothing in there about your given rights being dependent upon your age.

Otherwise, you’ve just created a new type of slave.

How the hell does that happen? How can an administrator admit to committing a crime (I’m pretty sure you can’t just touch people) and not be held accountable for it? Because the victim was a child?

The student should’ve decked the admin because the system didn’t protect her.

We had an incident at Tecumseh High School (Michigan) where a principal admitted to touching a child against their will, after being accused of taking photographs of student-athletes changing, and instead of firing the administrator, the school passed a stricter dress code.

Make it make sense: we live in a country where children are forced by the state to become parents in violation of their sincerely held beliefs, work a job, but can’t wear their favorite skirt to school because it might be too distracting to their teachers, and they can be denied an education.
