No no, Maryland is the one that was founded specifically because other colonies (and to be fair England proper) hated catholics. The hint is in the name. Lawdog69 posted:drat, that’s a hell of a mandate. I actually think it might have been equally popular at that time in the US. I have heard that abortion restricting laws were on their way out in the states prior to Roe, and the court thought they were slam dunking something so popular that it wouldn’t be controversial. But someone on the right wing figured out that the unborn were the perfect group to advocate for and basically started stirring up evangelicals and, here we are today. You're thinking of Phyllis Schlafly. And yes, it was a direct pivot into religious fanaticism when openly calling for segregated schools became unacceptable. It wasn't a spontaneous thing, it was a deliberate, calculated, workshopped move. Also, when I went to school in Texas (white) dudes would already be open carrying on campus. A guy showed me his klan tats and shotguns in the parking lot. As a bi and a jew I really wasn't sure if it was a threat or if I was successfully passing as a generic yokel. God save Texas. Please.

The apocalyptic rhetoric has been going on for so many decades that there's no room in the right wing for any other solution. Keep your head down, mumble something about thoughts and prayers then run away from the media is the only option left if you're not going to dive further to the right and scream for more guns as the solution to more guns.

Armed teachers are needed to protect students. Don't worry, the guns will almost never go off accidentally or wind up in the hands of a kindergartner.

My sister is a kindergarten teacher who occasionally gets asked about being armed in the classroom, and just thinks it’s insane that a gun that can be easily accessed should be in the room of 25-30 five year olds.

FFT posted:Okay, fine, let's arm all of the teachers. Who's gonna pay for all of the guns and gun training for all these teachers? And the storage of said guns so as not to add exponentially to the problem? They will happily fund all that if it means the governor's cousin gets a contract to supply schools with guns. They do not believe that arming teachers or staff will create a safer situation, they just want to find another route to funnel taxpayer money to contractors. Just like all the election fraud stuff, all that came of it was millions of dollars funneled to those dozens of audit firms that appeared out of nowhere.

This isn't really a contradiction. If the right wing had their way the arming of teachers would go hand in hand with a purging of teachers on an ideological basis. The arming will be used as a litmus test to root out liberal or left wing teachers, ones who refuse to be armed or campaign against the policy. They don't want all current teachers to have guns. They either want to destroy public education entirely -or- overhaul it to their ideological liking. Once the teachers are armed they will then extend them police powers and public schools in many areas will be even more indistinguishable from prisons than they already are. Maybe it won't get that far ever, but that's the playbook they want to run.

And now? No mandates for masks, no lockdowns anywhere as far as I can tell, but they're still fanning the flames of "liberals want you LOCKED INSIDE YOUR HOME" and the chuds eat it up.

FlamingLiberal posted:That’s seriously the angle he’s going with? I saw a bunch of people on twitter blaming "lockdowns" (a thing that didn't even happen here) which is mind numbing for two reasons that anyone here would instantly think of - school shootings long predate the pandemic and countries that had actual lockdowns don't see this happening. Texas was one of the most permissive states during the pandemic it makes even less sense.

That would explain all those mass shootings in all the other countries that had lock downs, most of which were far more strict than the United States'. I also like how gets a Fauci and Biden name drop in there.FlamingLiberal posted:That’s seriously the angle he’s going with? Of course not. He's just asking questions. So I guess the thing now is when some rear end in a top hat shoots up a school, what we do is go down a checklist of poo poo we don't like and cram it in there as an explantion. Trans people, Muslims, leftists, Antifa, immigrants, lock downs, Biden, no prayer in schools...probably a Soros, a CRT and a Pelosi in there.

Worse than the Holocaust, I'm sure. Also I remember reading about the months of lockdowns the US bravely endured just before the Columbine shooting (Michael Moore even made a movie about it called Lockdowns for Columbine) and before the subsequent shootings that have occurred every month since then but I can't be bothered to look up the names of. People have forgotten all about those lockdowns though, just like they forgot about the Bowling Green massacre.
