"Just homeschool them" is pretty rich when her party is trying to restrict the same to death. See what Illinois is doing.

She also didn't even understand what was at issue. The whole point was the teachers were teaching the subject and the parents wanted opt-out options. Ketanji-Brown thought they were talking about books that "were just there."

And under her plan, everyone still has to pay taxes to support instruction they find deeply objectionable. Clueless and tone deaf as it gets.

That would be quite the dangerous precedent though, imagine if people could stop paying taxes for arming terrorists or something else that's vital for national security.

Funding should follow the student.

Anyone who starts a sentence with "x should just do y" should be legally required to either demonstrate this or pay for it out of their own pocket. I'm sure many mothers would be thrilled to just leave their brood at the honorable justices house for a day of education.

Brad, my shoulders are slumping and my chin is practically on my chest as I work my way down these quotes. Should I laugh or sob? I think I’ll laugh.

How self important does one have to be to announce to the world that you're moving out of the US? Rosie, we know you're proud of having a non-binary child. I would have more respect if you were moving to Palestine. That would take true courage.

"We live in an autocracy," they said without consequence.

Progressives have an oppression fetish, mostly because they have empty spiritual lives and because modern life gives them no sense of larger purpose.

This is why they're always imagining themselves as handmaidens who live in Nazi Germany, but also as Rosa Parks protesting Jim Crow and Harriet Tubman hiding runaway slaves (in this case illegal aliens).

For them, politics is a cross bw Christianity and Disneyland.

It seems “autocracy” is the leftist talking point word of the week. They probably think it makes them sound more intellectual, instead of just screaming “Nazi!” all the time.

Hope Walz latched on to the leftist concept of the week- due process for illegals! The math of multiple hearings for every one of the 10-12 million let in over the last 4 years means due process is leftist code for they should all be allowed to stay.

I’m sure they are all congratulating themselves over how clever they are. After all, who can argue against due process? The due process they totally ignored while letting them all in.

HollyMathNerd has calculated it would take the nation’s 700 immigration judges close to 10 years to hold one-hour hearings for the 20 million illegal immigrants—and that does not take into account the courts’ backlog of 3 million cases. Those judges would have to work every day of the week with no vacations. Considering what it would cost to ramp up the system by hiring more judges to hold more hearings, I am adamant we should not expect taxpayers to indulge the “compassionate” plea to do so.

And of course a simple one hour hearing would never satisfy the demand for “due process!” But they never let reality intrude on any of their demands.

It's surreal witnessing the elite of an entire party succumb to mass hysteria and mental illness.

When my grade school taught sex ed, there was a parental permission slip required in order to attend the classes. Seems like a pretty easy solution.

Montgomery County Schools first offered parents the opportunity to opt out exposing their young students to the controversial content of the books. Too many did! So the school system revoked the opt-out. Shows how little respect the so-called liberals have for genuine diversity, as many of the families so concerned were from more conservative cultures abroad.

Just when you think every possible ghastly comment has been made by the wacko left, your Friday column reminds us they're still bubbling out of their dirty mouths. Seems it's time to get out the soap and do some washing!

Oh, and who is spreading conspiracy theories now? These people are so laughable. So yes, let's laugh!

Incredible the level of public foolishness by so many who have no shame !! Just put them in front of a reporter and watch them spew nonsensical sewage. OTOH, their comments move my mind to hear Aretha singing “cha, cha, chain, chain of fools.”

My focused loathing this week is reserved for Jim Clyburn. He personally put the fix in to save Joe Biden’s floundering 2000 campaign for Democratic presidential nominee. As part of the his vote buying deal we got four years of Kamala and a lifetime of K. B. Jackson, the Supreme Court justice who claims not to understand the biological difference between men and women.

My wife and I are watching the first season of The Last of Us, before we pick up watching the new second season. The story is about a global pandemic of mycelium infection turning most of the world into brainless collective-directed zombies.

Reading the quotes collected by Brad I have this sinking feeling that fiction might be our reality.

I was worried about Joy Reid and Jasmine Crockett after not hearing from them last week. They do seem to be slipping from their Peak Crazy.

Joy Reid is slipping from her perch on MSNBC. Alas, Jasmine has many months left in her term to mouth off in her black girl persona.
