Nope, he is busier trying to fix ALL of the fuckups from the previous racist administration. And he is doing a damn good job at it too. Especially since the previous administration clearly didn't want to govern, and had no plans for ANYTHING.

Exactly, democrats are more likely to treat humans like humans. If republicans want to spin that as a bad thing, so be it. Originally Posted by Felya

The numbers at the border are insane right now... I don’t want to disregard that, just because of the bad faith poster. It’s a major cluster fuck down there... they can’t keep up with the influx... Originally Posted by Hinastorm

Ya while I acknowledge there are tons of arrivals at the border, I feel like we could let in the majority of them if we taxed the right people the right amounts. Thankfully Biden is working on this as well. Originally Posted by Felya

Texas power company sued into bankruptcy, $29.1 million in bills forgiven. (That's over $1,000 per household)

Moscow Mitch has become senile, I'm completely convinced, he hasn't made any good political calculations in like a year now. I certainly am not scared of him anymore. Only thing republicans are capable of passing are tax cuts for the rich and judges. no other legislation, they couldn't even repeal obamacare after nearly a decade of that being their entire platform. They were able to obstruct well, but that looks to be going away too, filiibuster and cloture changes, he's terrified, and it's funny to see. I'm actually glad Mitch won re-election, to watch everything he's built crumble to ash right in front of him, and him to be there impotent to do a thing about it. Originally Posted by Breccia

Why would he? The wall is built, Mexico paid for it, and it stopped drugs and immigrants forever. Originally Posted by Zeth Hawkins

Never had a geography class. I did have an entire semester in history dedicated to learning about the confederacy though! Originally Posted by Vegas82

Because they're measuring it at the 8th grade level and social studies has been slaughtered in elementary school for language arts and math / science. It's taught at the high school level and usually rolled into history coursework. Look at state standards, not DeD articles. I integrated it into all my history teaching until I taught at alternative school and created a specific class for it. Originally Posted by fwc577

For the record, here are Illinois' standards for high school. Entire section on geography.
Edit: let's also add that the US tests everyone. Turn out the nonverbal kid on the spectrum is really bad at reading maps or understanding concepts such as the impact of geography on the development of cultural identity.Last edited by GreenGoldSharpie; 2021-03-17 at 01:10 PM.
