Oh it's relevant for sure, that's why one side wants it taught in school and the other shirks at that thought. Learn from that past behaviour. But when we're looking at who the racists today love it's quite obvious.
Hmm, Democrats and history. You guys keep claiming DeSantis doesn't want history taught in Florida schools, which has been debunked (he just opposed a highly inaccurate, agenda-driven, woke version of history being taught). However, Virginia Democrats actually rejected a bill that would require Virginia schools to educate children about the evils of Communism and honor its victims. We teach about the evils of slavery and the evils of Nazi Germany under Hitler, and we absolutely should educate our youth about the evils of them, but let's be honest here - Communism killed so many people in the 20th Century that it made slavery and the Nazis look like inept amateurs. I guess the Left only wants to teach "some" history.

Chicago voters have rejected Mayor Lori Lightfoot and her bid for reelection. Rising crime under her administration has been the big issue in this election and the people of Chicago have apparently had their fill of her.

Here's my stance - teach kids as much as you can. If we want to teach them the evils of specific economic systems, we better teach them all the evils of corruption that manifests in each system. I can almost guarantee if school systems started to teach about the reasons behind child labour for example, there would be a ton of people calling it whatever buzzword they like that day.

Meatball did a tremendously leftist thing by attacking Disney and removing their special protections, I love it. He's so focused on drinking liberal tears he's becoming a radical leftist.

The baby crisis has reached epic proportions in Texas. Enough to warrant this bill. You must be Straight married and a homeowner as well.

Trying to figure out who benefits from this:

Laugh all you want it’s not my bill and not my tagline. 😂

"Pushed to be broodmares". lol

They're just providing tax relief for those with larger families. They not telling people to have more kids.

Bro read the tweet by the author of the bill. It’s exactly what they want. 😂 Be “fruitful and multiply” is the quote.

I did read it Bro. You just interpreted it wrong. :p
You’re kidding right? They are providing tax incentives for white people (largely) to have several children or more. I just can’t understand how we disagree over something so obvious.

I don’t known how you can read it any other way. I didn’t realize English language was so fluid.

Paying families to have kids >>>>>>>>> increasing immigrant intake, reducing funds >>>>>>>> increasing tax revenues

Even if you take out the race thing, it's hilarious how they can't even call out the GoVerNMeNt pAYmeNTs! I swear if California paid for new roads we'd see "Wow, there goes Joe with his money press!".

As we see here, it doesn't matter about policy, it's about who does it and who's the one posting it. I mean look at the insulin price post, a reduction in insulin prices should get a "like" from everyone.

Hmm, glanced over the press release and the bill.

No requirement to be straight, nor is it even implied, unless I missed something.

EDIT: Wait, I see the defined qualifying married couple. This is DOA.

I read the document. Show me where it referenced white people. You just took the word of the guy who sent the tweet because he said it was for white people. Pretty sure Texas has a healthy Hispanic population who would benefit from the tax cut. Average size of Hispanic families is 3.8 compared to 3.2 for the national average.

My most humbling apologies. I realize that I should have liked it at 10:14, but work got in the way.

I didn’t say it referenced white people. It will benefit LARGELY white people because of the marriage stipulation. You really need to fuckin’ learn to read.

Edit: I meant homeownership instead of marriage.

Do you think only white people get married? It's pretty common among all races. So is home ownership.

I believe many European countries are already doing this.

So it incentivizes stable family situations for raising children in two-parent homes where the parents are married. Sounds less like a white or black thing than a life choices and good decisions thing. "Bout time we incentivized GOOD choices instead of bad ones like Democrat policies that incentivize having tons of children you can't afford and raising them in single mom households, which has worked so well.

The home ownership part is what seems odd to me. Yes, all races own homes. My suspicion is that minority how ownership rates are less than whites. Is there a solid reason to include that requirement?

This is pretty clearly an attempt to incentivize the right kind of white people to have more children. Texas’ attempt at stopping “the browning of America.”

It would be great if those were Texas’ true intentions. Instead they included stipulations that largely benefit middle to upper class white, heterosexual, Christians.

You mean successful people who prioritize education, avoid criminal behavior, and raise their children in stable homes. Gosh, why would we want those types to have more children?

Because this is America, motherfucker. We are not a white, Christian country no matter how much people like you want it to be.
