Yawgmoft posted:Eh. They probably were actually slaves or otherwise residents of Egypt. Not only do they give their super important leader for all time an Egyptian name, they also made themselves slaves in their own narrative, which is rare. However, they did not build the pyramids, which has somehow become a thing people believe. For what it's worth, there has been no archeological evidence recovered - and certainly not for lack of searching - that squares with the events of Exodus. No Jewish slave community, no pyramid building, no mass migration. More likely, early Israel was the successor to local Canaanite communities. As for Moses, there's many theories what historical figure may have inspired that character, but no evidence to believe it was an Egyptian prince turned leader of the Jews.

Hinging any assignment on reading the Bible is dumb, and you teacher overachievers can screw off. Nobody wants to read the Bible in school and those that do can go work in Cruz's campaign.

So have the Ted Cruz supporters decided that Canada is now America or something? Because last I checked he wasnt born in the US, or on US soil abroad, or In a state that became the US, or anything, dude is Canadian as hell. I mean, not that it will come up because he has the ol' snowballs chance but still given the overlap between birthers and Cruz supporters there has to be some genuinely good doublethink quotes we can all enjoy.

I certainly do not want it being taught in History classes that the founding fathers wanted it as the law of the land.

I was thinking that the fact that the supreme court will most likely swing to Democrats if the democrats win 2016 would mostly motivate the democratic base. But I guess the same could be said for motivating the GOP base. I imagine that will be pretty damaging to the country if the supreme court gets 6-3 or even 7-2 GOP for a few decades.

That's a highly regionalized statement even if you accept the premise that immigrants and first-generation Americans are either equally subsumed or proportionally less of the country or the validity of the plural possessive pronoun. Compare the prevalence of Anglo-Saxon culture in Connecticut versus Florida versus California. One of the awesome things about a country organized around a set of principles versus an ethnonational identity at the outset is that it allows if not mandates incredible diversity in the nation's culture--we should really be talking about American cultures, versus American culture. duz posted:His mother is a US Citizen, as near as anyone can tell, natural born citizen means citizen at birth.
