Bisexual Government Employee, leaning to the right, praying for the left. Happily and monogamously married. If you misspell "y'all" your argument is invalid.

Miss me with the annual Jontron discourse. Let me know when we’re talking about Starship Troopers again.

Jill is 100% correct. we should absolutely evaluate, test and check-on home-school kids. if they are not performing at least as well as the worst kid in a public school then they should face the same consequences as a public school with similar performance. so, to take an example, 23 schools in Baltimore have zero children scoring proficient in math. Because of that, those schools have faced the consequence of getting extra funding. thus, if a homeschooler is found to have performance that bad or worse, they should also be given extra funding, I guess.

Right, if homeschooling is actually super high quality, then homeschooling families should not object to being evaluated, tested, and checked-in-on to make sure their kids are actually learning.

The Graham Platner tattoo controversy is not about youthful mistakes. It is about the specificity of the Totenkopf. This is not the widely recognized swastika, it is the specific insignia of the SS units that ran the Nazi death camps. This is the symbol of the executioners. This is the symbol of the men that murdered 10 million men, women, and children. These men murdered the babies. For a self proclaimed military history enthusiast to wear the literal badge of Holocaust executioners for 20 years shows a level of understanding and admiration that cannot be explained away. People tattoo on their body WHO THEY ARE and WHAT THEY LOVE. The Democrats are so desperate to flip a Maine Senate seat that they have abandoned every moral red line they once claimed to hold. They have proven that winning at any cost is their only conviction and the Holocaust is just a cheap political prop to be weaponized only against their opponents. This is not just a betrayal of their voters. It is a total moral collapse.

Sure here are two: 1) it shows astonishingly bad judgment to get a Nazi tattoo and then keep it for over a decade 2) he *lied* about it, as his own former campaign manager acknowledged Bad judgment and lying are obviously things voters shouldn’t want in their senators

Another example — I agree that the tattoo situation reflects somewhat poorly on him in a non-specific way, but what is the specific worry a voter is supposed to have about Platner? Yes, he gets a pass on being a Nazi because progressives think he’s progressive (ie not a Nazi)
