Ok, thanks for the clarification

Wouldn't that be double jeopardy since he has already been tried and convicted by the court?

[-] GlendatheGayWitch@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

If he was found guilty of a crime, couldn't he then be removed from office? The Constitution says that they "shall hold their Office during Good Behavior". Surely being convicted of a crime would be the opposite of "Good Behavior" and disqualify them from office.

No, but they'll make sure that you get some trauma

This doesn't address what she found or the fact that her stance changed. TLDR below. From the article:

"But after taking office and examining hundreds of pages of curriculum, Gore was shocked by what she found — and didn’t find.

The pervasive indoctrination she had railed against simply did not exist. Children were not being sexualized, and she could find no examples of critical race theory, an advanced academic concept that examines systemic racism. She’d examined curriculum related to social-emotional learning, which has come under attack by Christian conservatives who say it encourages children to question gender roles and prioritizes feelings over biblical teachings. Instead, Gore found the materials taught children “how to be a good friend, a good human.”

Gore rushed to share the news with the hard-liners who had encouraged her to run for the seat. She expected them to be as relieved and excited as she had been. But she said they were indifferent, even dismissive, because “it didn’t fit the narrative that they were trying to push.”

So, in the spring of 2022, Gore went public with a series of Facebook posts. She told residents that her backers were using divisive rhetoric to manipulate the community’s emotions. They were interested not in improving public education but rather in sowing distrust, Gore said.

“I’m over the political agenda, hypocrisy bs,” Gore wrote. “I took part in it myself. I refuse to participate in it any longer. It’s not serving our party. We have to do better.”"

TLDR Far right republican ran on platform saying that schools are indoctrination students to be progressives. She spent many nights and weekends going over the curriculum for the district and found no evidence to support her previous claims and in her excitement, she told her supporters what she found. They didn't believe her and she was so disgusted that she changed her platform.

Billy Graham wasn't around in 1860. The article said that he died in 2018 at age 99, so he was born in either 1918 or 1919 nearly 60 years after 1860.

According to the 1960 Census, taken during Graham's lifetime, it appears the numbers ~~dont~~ line up with your statement. In 1960, the total population was 179,323,175 and the total nonwhite population was 20,491,443. If we keep the 1 in 20 estimate (or 5%), then there was an estimated 8,966,159 LGBTQ+ people in 1960, ~~less than half of the amount of the non-white population.~~ about 4 times as many non-whites in 1860 during the other guy's lifetime.

Edit: just realized I was mistaken and have corrected my statement. Sorry about that!

Don't forget we are only 21 years since SCOTUS ruled against the state of Texas and overturned the anti-sodomy laws in the US. Those laws are still on the books and the current Attorney General has said that he will enforce them should Lawrence v TX be overturned.

There are also a lot of gay conversion camps in the state using electrodes and other means of physical, emotional, and sometimes sexual abuse to pray the gay away.

I thought I had remembered them allowing some boys. I know of a male girl scout leader.

I'll edit that part.

Not only separate tents, but the boys' tents are grouped together and girl tents are grouped together with the adult tents in between those two groups. There also must be at least 1 adult of each sex.

Teenagers are full of hormones through puberty and many begin experimenting. Boy Scouts don't age out until they are 18.

[-] GlendatheGayWitch@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

Boy Scouts can join a troop at 10 and age out at 18. It's not uncommon for high schoolers to begin experimenting sexually.

Further there's also a branch of Boy Scouts called Venturing that is co-ed where participants age out at 21.
