The Right likes to threaten a civil war but we are going to have a functional separation without one.

Their states will be the ones whose students have degrees that can take them nowhere else, where doctors fear to practice, and where corporations go elsewhere to avoid being under the thumb of the latest gubernatorial thuggery.

Of course, since that will make them poorer, we will still have to support them, so that's the only flaw in the otherwise brilliant plan to let them burn themselves down...

When I moved from the Midwest to the deep south (well, the Florida panhandle) at the age of 14, one of **the** biggest culture shocks to me was how the Civil War was so much more present, for lack of a better term. I mean, I learned about it, I understood it was a very significant event, but it felt incredibly remote and not something worth dwelling on. Wow was I in for a shock. At times, I felt like I had been misled by my previous teachers, and the War had actually happened just last month

My thought exactly! It took a long time to get to the French revolution and I'd prefer to skip the part where women are burned at the stake

Were communist teachers banned from public schools in 1952?In Adler v. Board of Education, 342 U.S. 485 (1952), the Supreme Court upheld the so-called Feinberg Law, a New York statute designed to enforce existing civil service regulations to prevent members of subversive groups, particularly of the Communist Party, from teaching in public schools.
