| So the link in the OP says there was a study claiming that his books were full of white supremacy but the link Misslizard posted seems to be saying he was anti-racist but did some bad illustrations of Japanses people that he later regretted. That's a good point. Others might hold a different opinio... |

| Anyways, banning books is never a good idea. The hypocrisy and irony are exquisite. 8) Ban is a very emotional word. Did they actually ban a book or just decide to not promote a book. I think that's a critical detail in all this. I think ban is the correct term to some school district policies. I s... |

| Well he also said he wanted to wait until after he was dead before the letter got out because he was afraid if he talked about while he was alive, his children would be in danger. But if they wanted to come after his children out of revenge, wouldn't they do that anyway, if he was alive or dead, if... |

| Dear Bravo5150, I understand now; I myself have all 4 pockets full when I wear Levi’s, and that’s all the time! It does seem to me that they could have requested you to dump all of your pockets, verify the harmlessness of your ‘stuff’, and let you on the plane, but I guess these are paranoid times.... |

| I'm with Sylkat. What did you do to attract police attention? It's not normal that a person going into an airport is just randomly stopped by police who then ask for the person's mother's contact info & won't let the person proceed further. Same in other situations... Unless you frequent the ai... |

| Dear Bravo5150, I don’t understand your post. You are an adult, why should you not vacation or travel as you wish? Why should police be involved? How would she know you were at an airport? What I was trying to say is how often I try to get away but get pressured by others acting in some sort of pro... |

| I have a narcissistic mother, my problem is not so much limited to just dealing with her, but how to handle everyone else who I have to deal with who keeps shoving me back to dealing with her and refuses to understand that everyone, including parents, are prone to have mental issues. For example, I ... |

| Sounds like the guy wanted to commit suicide-by-cop. Either that, or... he was trying to throw a "gender reveal" party! Find out if the store surveillance cameras were color or black and white. if it was in color, we will know it was a gender reveal party by the color of the gun he was br... |

The elderly deserve the front of the line because these are the last years of their lives, and because many/most of them have low resistance. Those women should be arrested. Th... |

| So the issue with "Racism in Mathematics", may really be with "Classism in Teaching". My impression is that by far the worst real issue when it comes to racism in education in the US is gerrymandering. How would changing the rule from precise to close enough not be gerrymandering? |

| I am thinking with all of the arguments around classes being racist, maybe we should just cancel all further school attendance as a mandatory requirement. If math is racist against minorities, it must also mean phys Ed is racist against whites. And driver's ed is prejudice against people with certai... |

| Does changing the way math is being taught mean additional set up on a new calculator that requires entering your age, race, and gender before receiving the "correct" answer? |
