That's a good thing, 'cause instructors should share their political opinions about as often as they share their religious opinions.
People should all learn how to have polite, intelligent discussions without having a meltdown. Long before college would be the time to start. The problem is not sharing opinions. The problem is not knowing how to discuss things.
That's weird, 'cause history seems both politically innocuous and necessary at the same time.
Hah! Um, yeah, but how people interpret history, the story told has political ramifications.
So, don't the snowflakes who gave in to the challenge share some of the blame?
What on earth are you talking about?
Perhaps, but disrespecting a check or a balance doesn't cause it to stop working.
The government isn’t a machine. People impact it by doing or not doing what they are supposed to all the time.
I disagree. It's a philosophy that values institutions and community action to such a great extent that it advocates removing government interference therein so people can more freely engage in them. What's so disagreeable about that?
Government is made of institutions and community actions. That’s what representative government is.
Never once have I done anything tantamount to calling anyone a sissy for having "valid concerns" about our constitutional republic. Hell, I have such concerns myself! Let's face it, though: Musicians and songwriters quitting creating, being "terrified," being "petrified," having a panic attack and having to leave work, and rescheduling an appointment because you just couldn't function isn't symptomatic of having "valid concerns." They're dead giveaways of hyper-snowflake-ism. We, and the country, have enough resilience to weather the upcoming presidency, just like we did last time.
LOL! OK. I am glad that’s not what you mean . . . Oh, wait, you then go on to accuse musicians and songwriters of being sissies.
