Popular Post Jingthing Posted July 31, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 31, 2022 Alternative facts are an ALT RIGHT thing! Nothing to do with woke. Look what's happening in Florida. Teachers are being shut down from teaching basic facts and information about LGBT people and black history to ALL GRADES which is a neo-fascist movement led by alt right wing demagogues. Your headline indicates you think this film is to expose so called woke (which isn't a real thing, it's just an attack word from the right wing). It's the opposite. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Particularly to viciously demonize transgender people. I think that is evil. Imagine being a transgender person in the world now having to deal with all this insane irrational ignorance and bigotry. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In history, in social studies, and sex ed classes, etc. What a bizarre question really. Should they be made invisible?!?

The math teacher represents rationality. You know, like the people that know Donald Trump lost, as opposed to the alt right alternate facts wack jobs that still insist it was stolen.

Sparktrader Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Right wing means freedom and capitalism. Life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. Sadly modern day people have invented weird terms to describe nutters and totally forgot what capitalism is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
