  1. ​@befferluger805 They should absolutely teach the history of eugenics in America. They should absolutely teach that Stalin banned lobotomies and that it took a couple of more decades to end the practice here, because 💰. Definitely teach all that history. Americans should know.

  3. ​ @Alsayid The difference between minors and adults needs to be much more clearly delineated. MUCH more. When 16 year old kids had jobs, and 18 year olds were joining the armed forces or getting married or both, 16 was different from what it is in the age of (anti)social mass media and kids who don't even date or go out much on their own. Beauty pageants for these kids are a bad idea. They can never escape anything they did as minors. The pictures alone being online forever is a risk.

  4. ​ @Alsayid The kids don't have to post their own beauty pageant pictures. You can be sure someone will. Their lives are out of their hands. It is not fair at all.

  5. No, her First Amendment point is highly pertinent. This is key, for all of these cases. The guest gave a perfect answer.

  6. ​ @CarlongoArenas No, the First Amendment is crucial here. It's not a partisan issue at all.

  9. Her point about the First Amendment and Tinker v. Des Moines was crucial. Too bad you missed it. Try more Glenn Greenwald in your media diet.

  11. Fall for it? The guest ultimately agreed that Tinker v. Des Moines is the proper First Amendment standard. At this rate, free speech is on its last legs for sure.

  17. @AdolfTrudeau  It was about the tee shirt, and the legality of wearing it in a public school in light of Supreme Court precedent. You must not have listened. Or, you got emotional about the drugs and tuned out everything else.

  21. Too bad you don't know enough about First Amendment law to appreciate how important this is, and to appreciate that the guest agreed with Jessica and gave an excellent, pro-free-speech response.

  22. @ajwalker4416  Minors cannot give informed consent. What part of that is too tough?

  27. @a.wadderphiltyr1559  Of course. All that is fine. I just happened to be reading a biography of Marguerite Duras which recounts the Stalinist purges in the PCF over aesthetic values, if you can believe it. The totalitarian mind is a horror. You see it here, when people defend Trump's handling of the Assange matter. It is a mindless "mind."

  28. @a.wadderphiltyr1559  The historian Peter Kuznick is excellent on the destruction of the biological sciences under Stalin. But note the difference between that and the Nazis: the Stalinists insisted you could pass down characteristics you acquired. It was not a matter of "breeding." Turns out that some of what they saw was epigenetic, but they had no idea of the mechanism at play. Their analysis was entirely wrong and dogmatically held.

  31. @rogerward801  The ONLY thing? Does it get much more important? In any case, the guest agreed to a broad interpretation of Tinker. I thought the discussion was very valuable, and the guest did a great job. The First Amendment affects everyone. The gender nonsense affects a relatively smaller number, but affects them very strongly. The First Amendment lets us discuss it.

  35. @tcorourke2007  That's what you heard. That's not what she said. Greenwald supports the First Amendment. Why would he care about personalities? Why would that have any bearing on the issue? I doubt he has noticed her at all.

  39. That goes for the anti-abortion zealots, too, sending death threats to the doctor of a 10 year old girl who had to leave her state to be assured of having immediate care. AND claiming the little girl was fake!

  41. @RedWing88  Not if it wasn't disruptive to education. But I get your point. In any case, those two you mentioned are very different. One is exclusive, the other is open to interpretation, and at least on its face appears to be inclusive. Have you ever seen the "Choose Life" tee shirts from UK? George Michael featured them in a cute video. That was part of an anti-sui_c_i_de campaign which everyone in Britain recognized. I thought it was cool. (Of course they all knew that it meant something different here.)

  42. @babyqueenxo  In any case, if a tee shirt is not disruptive under the Tinker standard, it cannot be censored in public school.
    1
  43. @babyqueenxo  If it meets the Tinker standard, it should not be censored. It is legal to wear it. I was simply pointing out that those three phrases are not identical in their scope of meaning. They are not symmetric. Take a linguistics class. You can still find an unbiased one. What does "Choose Life" mean?
    1
  44. @babyqueenxo  I can prove to you quite easily that they are not symmetric: did anyone ever think to point out that wlm before the phrase blm became current? Why is that? Not that that matters for First Amendment purposes. There would have to be some truly compelling reason to disallow either one, or to allow one but not the other. On their face, they appear to meet Tinker.

  46. That's an enormous number of people. Now they don't count? That's not the only consideration in any case. What if it risks a person's cognitive development and intelligence? Brains don't complete development at age 7, the way various religions once insisted they did.

  48. Children aren't chattel. Preserving every person's future reproductive choices used to matter. Now the locus of authority of the adult human being over their own body is rapidly passing out of their control.

  49. The point is that minors cannot consent. They cannot appreciate the risks. Everyone should have an opportunity to choose to be a birth parent someday, if they so desire. No one should be allowed to ruin that for a child by giving them a drug. So what if they have dysphoria during puberty? Is that a reason to sterilize a kid??

  50. @ajwalker4416  If a person cannot give informed consent, then what do you call that? Freedom of choice?

  51.  @ajwalker4416  So, who IS deciding? The child himself cannot. So, who is?

  58. ​​@utah_koidragon7117 It can even impede normal neurological development and intelligence. That alone, without all the other terrible effects, should prevent it from being used in the way the activists are prescribing it. I wonder why this comment is being shadowed? It's not mis dis or mal.
