Juneteenth

I'm trying to get work done, have a crane delivered and realize that several of my accounts and vendors are off today. Some even took Friday off, but that's only in Seattle.

I think it's such a silly thing to gripe about.

We would have to look at year to year comparisons like economic output per capita (if such a kpi even existed) to know what the impact, if any, is.

when I worked I did not get most Fed holiday off. If I didn't work I did not get paid. since I am a taxpayer paying the salaries of federal workers they should have to work most holidays too. they can have all the Fed holidays they want as long as the banks and the post office are open on most all of them.

According to Google AI....


No, it is not illegal to teach about Juneteenth in any state. While some states have passed laws restricting the teaching of certain topics related to race and history, these laws do not specifically ban the teaching of Juneteenth. Juneteenth is a federal holiday, and all states and the District of Columbia recognize it as a holiday or observance in some form

Yeah, I knew it was a partial truth but you're underselling the laws.

Since teachers aren't entirely sure what they can teach about CRT, it's effectively a ban on Juneteenth for those not willing to risk it.

In TN, you're not allowed to talk about race stuff that will cause guilt. So that seems vague enough to be a ban on Juneteenth.

You posted a screen grab of an outright lie. Then you double down on it. Let's be clear, it isn't a "partial truth". In no state is it "illegal to teach Juneteenth". Then, you massage that into an effective ban (again, not illegal) because it is risky and the guidelines for teaching are ambiguous.

I hope when DJT is in our rear view, this current posting style of yours makes a return to how you used to post.

I am not sure what happened but his posting now is several degrees off of TDC. It wasn't always like this.

I pointed that out awhile back. I first noticed the hard shift when he appeared to be idolizing the airman who burned himself alive.

Granted even back then I don’t think we were getting as many random fake FB stories.

Genuinely, I have concern for the guy’s mental health

It's an outright lie because the number isn't 15? How is it an outright lie?

If you can't teach stuff about race that causes guilt, can you even teach about slavery? You're putting yourself at risk

I remember when you were against vague laws that limited freedom.

And I made these points about the vagueness of laws when we were banning CRT

This is the same weird thing the left did with abortion law. Intentionally posting lies to create fear about what can be done and then using that fear as their justification.

“Teachers don’t know what they can teach!”
That’s not a justification for posting lies. That’s only more reason to stop posting lies

Is it illegal (against the law) to teach about Juneteenth in school in any US state?

I grew up in the public school system in the state of Tennessee. We had many courses on slavery from an early age. The difference now is the left has weaponized the topic for political gain and outright lie. It's like it was decided to turn it around so that people didn't realize that almost every repressive idea has a democrat party underlining.

Juneteenth should be a source of pride and celebration for all Americans. An ugly chapter in our country's history was finally closed forever. The inspirational words of our founding that all men are created equal finally came to fruition. That is a good thing.

You can't tell me a teacher is within his/her legal rights to teach about Juneteenth, because of the vagueness of the law.

If the answer to "is it legal to talk about Juneteenth?" is it depends on what is said and how it is received, then wtf are we arguing about here? A fkn meme? How about we argue for more freedom.
