10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
Don't dude.. don't make this about "bEiNg An AmErIcAn"... Think of all the high school/college English students who have to write that stupid "wHaT iS aN aMeRiCaN??" essay every goddamn year. Now they all have to write another paragraph just to rebut your dumbass.
Bigotry makes everyone's lives more difficult.
What an absolute dumbass anti American POS.
Yeah because every new generation of americans are defined by conformity. When it comes to politness, queueing in lines, or doing things in an exacting way you always think USA over any other country. and I feel this is not necessary but sic.
freaks like this just love seeing the hope in children's eyes die. my supernintendo was infamous for calling a snow day maybe 5% of the time when all the other districts doled them out happily
this sounds like something that you would hear in the news in gta
Now everyone gets to see the turtle shell dreads this guy has. Cowabunga dude! 😎
Is this a tacit admission that being American means being racist (according to this asshole)?
Melting pot vs. salad bowl, round infinity+1.
Not really. This is like the Melting Pot/Salad Bowl coalition vs. Ultranationalism
Sounds like all the students should band together and come in one day with locs. Then the superintendant can be fired for non-conformity.
**Barbers Hill **Independent School., Big barber Co trying to put the small hair dressers out of business again.
Jokes aside, fuck that superintendent. That's footloose dancing is forbidden level of asshatery.
this whole thing is a shitshow. but the dresscode is just bullshit. why shouldn't male read people be allowed to wear hairstyles longer than to the neck?
Jackass. Hope they get caught in the crossfire next time Texas tries to shut down federal agents.
These people are like human ants
LOL, WTAF. I do think sometimes there is a certain portion of the terminally online leftists that have disappeared up their own derrieres, looking for offense in things like not being sufficiently intersectional, and generally playing silly oppression olympics, all aimed at their allies (meaning, only certain people are able to talk about certain topics and so on - it's all so useless and pointless and probably only really results in generating more Republicans), while fascism is organizing and on the march.
Then the right keep doing completely stupid stuff like this, and I really wish those terminally online leftists would wake up and realize they need to stop all the infighting and realize the right are saying the quiet part out loud. They want to make it safe to say and do completely outrageous things to liberals, women, POC, non-xtians, anyone not straight, and so on. I think the leftists that spend so much time on policing liberals/leftists for the most minor of infractions in language or political thought would be a lot better off trying to win the hearts and minds of middle America instead of trying to find reasons to kick out their allies. Because none of their pointless theorizing will mean zilch if the right gets their way. In the most extreme of outcomes, the right will work to murder citizens that don't meet their metrics for hegemony.
Conformity? What are you? A fucking commie? /s
