DeMantis requiring schools to teach about the victims of communism

vendredi 20 mai 2022 à 09:04

DeMentis signed a bill requiring Florida schools to teach students about the victims of communism.

It is important for people to learn about the victims of communism. Stalin killed tens of millions of Russians, and Mao did the same to Chinese. They left behind corrupt dictatorships.

However, I fear that Republicans will use this opportunity to indoctrinate students to believe that today's extreme capitalism represents a just society. Meanwhile, slavery in the US, and subsequent racist laws, are also crucial for Americans to learn about.

Result of high-pressure gymnast training

vendredi 20 mai 2022 à 09:04

The high-pressure training of gymnasts, some not even teenagers, goes as far as claiming they are faking when they say they have been injured.

Ultimately this is the natural result of competitive pressure transmitted to the gymnasts through coaches that are interested in winning more than anything. It is a perverse system. We should not put people in a position where their health depends on resisting the demands of people they have been taught to trust.

"Discrimination" against some social media posts

vendredi 20 mai 2022 à 09:04

A confused appeals court in Texas has upheld a Texas law making it illegal for any large social media site to "discriminate" against some postings in comparison to others, for any reason.

No one knows how to obey that law, since it has contradictory interpretations.

Perhaps this will require large social media sites not to operate in the US. They may have to split up into competing companies which make sure none of them has enough users for the law to apply to it.
