Between July and December 2022, Florida schools banned another 357 books with any reference to race, sexuality, sexual orientation or gender identity on the grounds of morality and ethics. Recently, they banned fifty-four maths books they said incorporated topics such as critical race theory. In response to the banning of algebra books, a man named Chaz Stevens who studied applied mathematics in college petitioned school superintendents across the state to immediately remove the Bible, and any book that references the Bible from the classroom, library, and any instructional material. In his letter, Stevens questioned whether the Bible, with its references to murder, adultery, sexual immorality, and fornication is age-appropriate, and questioned whether we want to teach our youth about drunken orgies. He also took issue with the many Biblical references to rape, bestiality, cannibalism and infanticide. Pointing out the hypocrisy of banning maths books but not the Bible, Stevens argued that if you want to teach morality and ethics, do you really want to turn to a book that wants you to dash babies against rocks?" (Psalm 137:9) Sounds sensible to me. Someone would juxtaposed critical race theory with Mathematics would only do so for ideological reasons, certainly not mathematical ones. That's okay. |

Yes, Ned believes in the resurrection. Any Christian who does not believe in the resurrection, frankly, is not what they say they are. The Romans wanted the resurrection stifled and made up a story to cover the truth. The enemies of Christianity are still trying to say there was no resurrection and would like the crucifixion covering up, too. The crucifixion was the moment that Christ bore the sins and shame of humanity, past present and future to pay the penalty of death, in our place. Easter does not generally dwell on the crucifixion in today's secular world. It prefers chocolate eggs! Hi Ned....why? I mean why do you think an auxilliary cohort of the 10th Legion give a flying fuck about some jewish guy they'd just crucified? For me the Roman's are merely facilitators for the narratives; the lad was crucified on the recommendation of Caiaphas and that's it as far as the Romans are concerned. The rest is up to whatever your imagination makes of the OT and NT constructions...? |

So why this particular topic? It's as good as any other. Anything else I can help you with, Bubs? Was your fourth motive - to seek attention? |

If he is a biological male then it’s logical to call him a biological male ie man . If he is a biological male who thinks he is a female then it is logical to call him deluded.ie a deluded man. If you use genitalia to define what a biological male is then it is logical for you to describe someone with a penis as male. On the other hand, if you use the mind as the marker, it will be logical to describe someone with a penis and a biologically-based female mindset as a woman. Yes feelings over facts. If I 70 year old man believes he is a 14 year old lesbian then the ‘ marker’ allows him access to the girls changing rooms . The cult of magic words triumphs again . |

It's a fact. You don't have to accept it. It won't change the facts. |

Sounds sensible to me. Someone would juxtaposed critical race theory with Mathematics would only do so for ideological reasons, certainly not mathematical ones. That's okay. Except that it wasn't okay in Florida. And teaching the crucifixion of Jesus is okay both here and in Florida. |

And you don't question whether these books actually hinted at CRT? In Florida, a book can be banned even if the complaining party has never read the book. Mind you, if those maths books hadn't been banned for the reason they were, they'd likely have been banned for mentioning the word binary. That's how insane the religious right has become. |

The meaning of words change. It's a fact. You don't have to accept it. It won't change the facts. I dint have to accept a dictat for a leftie trans zealot political agenda ? How kind . It won’t change the fact that a bloke in a dress isn’t a woman , that’s true . |

If you say something new, I'll respond. If you don't, it's unlikely I will. Knock yourself out. |

That's always been the case. There's no reason why this should be any different. Another one of your prophecies, eh? UK will return to the EU. Britain is on fast track to becoming a Marxist utopia. Men will be redefined women if they so choose on scientific grounds, and feminists and the rest of society will have to accept it. And now the teaching of the crucifixion will be removed from schools in the UK. Apart from your penchant to envisage a dystopian future Darling, you do tell 'em. |

Book bans? Schools have always selected books on the basis of their suitability for children. Books that wedge glory hole technique into maths for political reasons, clearly aren't suitable.

That's why interstate migration to Florida is at such a high rate, business is booming and common sense prevails. Many Americans are running away from the nutters who have taken over the democratic asylum with their progressive views, high-crime rates and inner city slums. |
