The latest cancellation in the Florida war on woke: Michelangelo’s ‘Pornographic’ Statue of David

[MyTeamIsOnTheFloor]

in a fair fight, Bernie, Liz, and a hundred other economic progressive old school Dems, would wipe the floor with Trump, DeSantis, or Biden.

corporations, which include literally all major media today, will never allow that fair fight.

we now live in a capitalist political environment where the job of all corporate media is to insure only the corporations and the rich are represented by govt, at everyone else's expense.

it's not personal. it's just business.

Gets dumber every time you say

So CNN is pro-corporate and pro-capitalism?

Dumb.

The guy is never going to become intelligent. He’d have to get a lot smarter just to qualify as “dumb.”

yeah, how could anyone possibly think AT&T/Directv/WarnerMedia/CNN/Discovery/AT&T Mexico, who's shares are overwhelmingly held and controlled by Vanguard, BlackRock, and State Street, mega funds, who also hold and control much of Wall St, is pro corporate or pro capitalism.

no idea what i was thinking.

they are obviously a full blown Marxist Communist socialist entity, as are BlackRock, Vanguard, and State St, their majority owners, who also are the largest owners of the Dow Industrial Average, the S&P 500, and the Nasdaq composite, also known as the bedrocks of Communism..

It would be impossible to control because dysfunction is subjective, whereas, divorce is factual. And you are right in premise, a household with adult dysfunction and hatred is obviously not healthy either. I'm just stating that divorce is NOT and HAS NOT been a good thing for mental health.

Research has documented that parental divorce/separation is associated with an increased risk for child and adolescent adjustment problems, including academic difficulties (e.g., lower grades and school dropout), disruptive behaviors (e.g., conduct and substance use problems), and depressed mood2.

Offspring of divorced/separated parents are also more likely to engage in risky sexual behavior, live in poverty, and experience their own family instability. Risk typically increases by a factor between 1.5 and 2.

Still, most children whose parents divorce are resilient and exhibit no obvious psychological problems. It is important to recognize, however, that even resilient young people from divorced families often report painful feelings or encounters, such as worrying about events like graduations or weddings when both parents will be present3.

I think it's pretty clear you're right, but the problem is this. The old system was that divorce was only allowed for infidelity or abandonment. One of the biggest reasons for separation in the modern world is abuse, which wasn't included. So, we need to be careful about making changes that incentivize the abused staying with the abuser.

Here in Florida a child is allowed to go to a nude beach. I must disclose that I read that on the internet so it has to be true.

This was posted in the DeSantis thread but is kind of buried. It is so amazingly bizarre and stupid that it deserves a separate discussion.

A principal at a charter school in Florida, ironically called "Tallahassee Classical School" was FIRED after 6th graders in an art history lesson were shown photos of Micahangelo's David, widely considered one of the iconic art pieces in the history of human civilization. If you travel to Italy, I recommend reserving your spot in line to see it in person. I took my kids to see it when they were 2, 5, and 8 years old.

Some parents were offended by this lesson, because the David has a penis. Their 12-year-olds are apparently badly scarred by seeing said penis. The prinicipal was fired for allowing the viewing of said penis. The Tallahassee school is a public charter institution that focuses on classical learning, a teaching philosophy centered on a traditional Western liberal arts education that aims to impart critical thinking skills children can use throughout their lives.

No, this is not an Onion piece.

Why do I say that it is part of the war on woke? Well, that's the opinion of the school board head, who fired the principal:

“Parental rights trump everything else,” Bishop said. He added that the pandemic’s remote teaching gave parents a clearer window into their children’s education and prompted some to choose schools like Tallahassee Classical.

“They didn’t like the woke indoctrination that was going on,” he said. “We don’t use pronouns,” Bishop said. “We don’t teach CRT and we don’t ever mention 1619 — those are not appropriate subjects for our kids.”

Warning: photo with the article shows a PENIS!

I wonder if those parents even understood what that work of art was?? It would not surprise me if they did not!!
