Gay Discrimination Legislation in a Republican
Posted: Feb 27, 2014
Will the Republican Right win the anti-gay battles in Missouri, Kansas, Ohio, Mississippi, Idaho, South Dakota, Tennessee, and Oklahoma? We know that is what the Republicans really want, or will it crumble from the pressure of Big Business or the bean/vote counters? A Missouri state senator on Monday introduced legislation like Arizona’s that could provide cover for businesses to deny service to same-sex couples. In Georgia, two versions of a similar bill in the state House and Senate are moving quickly through the Legislature. In Kansas, a similar bill already passed Republican-led House earlier this month. Other states considering legislation like Arizona’s include Ohio, Mississippi, Idaho, South Dakota, Tennessee and Oklahoma, according to The Associated Press.

She was interviewed later and recounted some of the things the Trump supporters said to her. Obviously, they have little to no experience with anyone who does not look just like them and have the ...
Is Discrimination In Our Public Schools Acceptable?Feb 21, 2014
I am appalled that in 2014 this question even is asked. Apparently there are those that do not think the government should be involved in matters of discrimination.

Below on this board there is a post regarding an article of outrage because the Departments of Justice and Education sent out a letter to schools regarding discriminatory punishm ...

It takes awhile to make sense of the entrails of the Republican Party, partly because they are just so toxic, but also because it's actually difficult to comprehend that an American political party can so deliberately sabotage its own government and nation. But after observing their behavior and their policy of, "Just Say No" -- sometimes to their own suggestions, one can only surmise that they long ago left the business of governing and have instead agreed to a covert game plan of destruc ...
