Do we need to send in the national guard to integrate our playgrounds now? How do people see the concept of friendship as a threat to their way of life? That's your fellow American and a human being, not your enemy.

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!

MODERATORS
They started by slaughtering a whole race, then enslaving another.
They can’t back down now.
Seems like we need explicit notes in history class for which things are being taught in order to try and prevent them from continuing or happening again. These "mama bears" obviously missed the point.
That'd be too close to critical race theory
... you, uh, new here? They never thought interracial friendships should be tolerated. And yes. They've thrown tantrums about it. (see.... the whole civil rights movement era..)
Never in history have conservatives been the good guys. Why would they start now?
There is a bit of truth in that title
Right-wingers don't think
So what you’re saying is right wingers are hateful racists? Huh
This is not a winning strategy.
It is for Republican primaries, and 222 House general elections.
Wow. That is an insane level of racism if true.
But they will still quote MLK Jr.
While claiming the Democrats are the party of slavery while holding the Confederate flag and holding propaganda associated with being party of slavery.
They had a dream, a dream where all children are created sperate, but equal.
My kids best friend in kindergarten was a black kid. Unfortunately they didnt end up on the same school.
Ive seen no black kids around my sons age at his current school
(We live in Denmark. Black population is only 2% or something)

From the person complaining:
When asked for an example of what was concerning parents, Dungan replied: “A poster that shows ‘All Belong Here’ with racially colored hands. This was an example that was first brought to me early this year.”
She continued: “I think the intention of the poster was good and the parent thought that the intention of the poster was good. However, the unintended consequences of that poster made the first grader feel like ‘why wouldn’t I be accepted here?’ It had a reverse effect on the first grader because it was in the classroom.”
Not a good argument at all- but she clearly didn't say kids of different races couldn't be friends.
So the child was uncomfortable because they don't believe people of different color should hold hands?
