Is the Lemon Party image still around? That would be horrible...

No idea but holy fuck that's amazing. I'd be happy catching a charge for this.

Figures that the right hates "socio-emotional learning". Could maybe help make people less shitty, and that'd mean fewer conservative voters

[–] [email protected] 10 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

Emotional intelligence is a four-fold better predictor of economic success and family stability than is intelligence quotient. The right has always been about preventing people from managing their emotional reactions. Their whole shtick is trying to control other people so they never actually have to learn to control themselves. It's literally always projection with them.

Why do the hard stuff like work to materially improve the lives of everyone in your state when you can do the easy thing like whatever the fuck this is?

YA LIKE JAZZ, MOTHERFUCKER?

This is like when a little boy has a crush on a girl but pretends they're disgusted by them and their cooties. I suspect there's more projecting going on here than a voice-throwing competition.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 9 months ago

Everything that a conservative does is in the name of their own, personal insecurity. It's all projection of their internalized fear and self-disgust.

And just when I thought my state couldn't get much worse, we're wasting time and taxpayer money for witch hunts.

Hello fellow Hoosier, I emailed our school superintendent last year when the stupid book banning bill thing was proposed, and then passed. I wanted to know if there would be a way to tell if people requested books to be banned, so I could go out and buy them for my kid to read. (because obviously they must be read worthy)

I followed up with him recently since the bill had passed. He did, at least, inform me that no ban requests have been made. So at least in our school there wasn't some crazy people waiting to start complaining and getting books removed. There doesn't seem to be an easy way to search for banned books though which I would like to see as an option.

I think you missed the time and taxpayer money that has already been spent on persecuting Dr. Caitlin Bernard for performing a legal abortion on a raped 10-year-old. Rokita has been doing witch hunts for a while now.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 9 months ago

Just as the Salem Founders intended

[–] [email protected] 63 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Excuse me, but as a Hoosier, I expect you to always use the full title when discussing Mr. Rokita: Attorney General, Colossal Shitrag and Future Governor Todd Rokita.

Why yes, it does suck here.

Our choices for governor are embarrassing.

In Oklahoma we have Kevin Stitt who is an anti-vaaxer corporate shit who owns gateway mortgage company, which also just opened a new line of banks... This guy is a clown worthy of Barnum.

Man, that form doesn't verify any contact information. It sure would be easy to flood it with genuine concern in picture format.

I'm looking at some of the "legitimate" complaints on that page. Someone complained about inappropriate content... in Orwell's 1984.

Flood it with Chat GPT-3 content, super easy to generate, and it would probably create more unique content that would be harder to filter out.

After our office consistently heard from student, parents, and teachers about objectionable curricula, policies, or programs affecting children, we launched the Eyes on Education portal.

Our kids need to focus on fundamental educational building blocks, not political ideology - either left or right.

Eyes on Education is a platform for students, parents, and educators to submit and view real examples from classrooms across the state.

The Office of the Attorney General will follow up on materials submitted to the portal that may violate Indiana law using our investigative tools, including public records requests, and publish findings on the portal as well.

To view examples or submit to the portal, select the school corporation and name of the school and upload your documents.

Upon submission, someone from our office may contact you for additional information or clarification.

Submissions to the portal will be reviewed and published regularly.

this is the most ridiculous rhetorical doublespeak I’ve seen in a while. kids need to focus on education, not political ideology, so let’s shove some political ideology down their throats? And, of course, the ass-covering BS logical absurdity that anything “objectionable” must, certainly, be unsafe for children.

I'm thankful they included a link to the portal. I've got some urgent reports to send them.
