Just an administrator making a dumbass statement.

Yep there is no credible opposing view.

Jews got it bad man. Getting it from both the far left and far right.

Hey thats the deal. Part of the job.

Four Jews who changed the world

Moses who said the whole law was in the intellect

Then Jesus brought it down to the heart

Marx who said it was all in the stomach.

And then Freud who took it just a tad lower.

From the article: "Lane Ledbetter, superintendent, said, 'During the conversations with teachers, comments made were in no way to convey the Holocaust was anything less than a terrible event in history,” Ledbetter said in a statement posted to Facebook. “Additionally, we recognize there are not two sides of the Holocaust.”

Well, thanks. Really. That wasn't feeble at all.

Gina Peddy: “We are in the middle of a political mess . . . No one knows how to navigate these waters.”

You can start by not saying stupid shit.

You got that right.

Painting the entire state of Texas with the same brush because one nutjob made a stupid suggestion is silly. Especially when the nutjob is just expressing the same leftwing thinking process that you defend.
