If you're not a US citizen, be careful with your pics.

Don't forget "thought police"... it's against the law there to "think" of certain crimes.
No thanks

I sure hope there’s no “dream police”. lol!

Pretty sad, I feel for the people in the UK, Canada, Australia and elsewhere that are experiencing such things. Watching the events in the UK the past few years shows just how damaging the loss of free speech and a woke mentality can be. The big march they just had was refreshing and gives some hope that they might be able to change directions. Propaganda is much more effective that I ever thought possible, we saw that across the pond and here in the US too.

People forget history fast, in the last 110 years two world wars have been fought protecting freedom around the world, blood has been split and yet in a matter of a few decades people forget. History gets rewritten and people, not all people but a good amount of them suck it all up.

We’re foolish if we don’t think it can happen here. We’ve seen free speech limited the last few years but thankfully the tide is changing. The 2A protects the first. We came close to following the insanity we’re seeing over seas this last election, we better fight like hell to keep what we have. They will try again, you can count on that.

History is barely taught in schools today, civics...ya right. The yourger generation is growing up clamoring for packing the supreme court, doing away with the filibuster and the electoral college. On the surface it all sounds so reasonable, but its not. Many have no idea why something like the electoral college exists. All the socialists want is total control via immigration chaos and simple majority rules.

Think about how these people are raised. They are “subjects of the King”. From early childhood thru adulthood they bow to a King or Queen.

Yup, and I have proof of that.
I'm a disabled Vietnam veteran, and when I asked my two grandkids (15 and 19 at the time) what they were taught in school about the Vietnam war, I got the 'deer in the headlights' look. Answer: "ahh.....nothing".

We spend the most money per student in the US and have the abysmal worst test scores in the developed world. Think the bogus teacher's unions have anything to do with that? Go figure.

Remember....."if you ignore history........."

Right. I don't know about your state's public school teachers union, but the one in Maine is and has been tightly intertwined with the Dems for decades and don't seem to answer to anyone but themselves and the learning agenda they unilaterally concoct. Its one of the reasons private schools and home schooling is so popular. IMO, sending a child to a public school and expecting them to exit as a well rounded citizen with knowledge of our past and its importance for their future is a fairytale.

Yup! They don’t want them to learn about the history of the Soviet Union or Cuba. Then they’d see that Socialism and Communism don’t work. Never mind the millions that died in the purges.
