Pulling the same old crap like they do with the bible?

They’re taking religion out of schools so kids don’t read the bible!1!1!

When the problem is that Fox watchers haven’t bothered to read either of the writings themselves and believe whatever someone tells them the documents mean. They don’t actually want anyone to read these things.

Damn. If only the Constitution has been transposed into non-cursive format at least once over the last 250 or so years! /s

Da, why yankee no teach children Cyrillic these days? Москва́ DEMANDS ANSWERS

[–] cmbabul 18 points 15 hours ago (4 children)

I know you’re being sarcastic but I’m sure those that buy what Fox is selling here think that anything besides the original document itself is untrustworthy and has been doctored to be woke or something else stupid

I'm sure if they took a trip to DC they wouldn't know if it was the original or not.

The transcription on Wikipedia has pronouns in it! They even made it start with one!

Wait until they hear about the Bible

As if random tourists are testing for forgeries

[–] Lost_My_Mind 2 points 14 hours ago

How could it be? It's in cursive! Nobody knows how to read that!

[–] cabron_offsets 15 points 12 hours ago

Like it matters to these fucking traitor shitbags. If every republican could just fucking get measles ASAP, that would be grand.

I am continuously amazed what the right wing propaganda machine convinces people to get upset about.

BREAKING NEWS!!! DEMOCRATS CONTAMINATE WATER SUPPLY WITH FLUORIDE!!!

[–] credo 6 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

URGENT! Democrats conspire to plant trees to emit POISONOUS oxygen into atmosphere.

[–] knightmare1147 1 points 6 hours ago

DANGER! Democrats have SPACE LASERS and HURRICANE machines!

Eh, even they described as a literal "conspiracy theory", so (without having seen the footage) it was probably more of a light-hearted quip.

Remind me: which party fights against funding public education, thereby forcing school administrators to make difficult choices about what to cut?

Dude, I learned to read and write in cursive like every other 90s kid. I still can't read much of the original text of the constitution. Have you see that chicken scratch?

[–] lunarul 1 points 9 hours ago

It's very readable, definitely not chicken scratch. Unless I missed an implied "/s"?

[–] Dr_Fetus_Jackson 17 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago) (1 children)

As if these dildos know what it says.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 14 hours ago

Well, they can read the bit about the “right to bear arms”, but the part involving a “well regulated militia” makes them confused and angry.

[–] Bytemeister 5 points 12 hours ago

I have to read cursive every day for work.

But that's because I'm the only person I know who writes in cursive.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 14 hours ago

You've never read the constitution until you've read it in the original Klingon

[–] [email protected] 5 points 15 hours ago

True, you can only truly understand it in its original cursive, read while walking around colonial williamsburg

[–] foggy 4 points 15 hours ago

lmao, why would they care if that was accurate??

[–] glimse 2 points 13 hours ago

They still teach cursive? I remember hearing schools were dropping it in like the 2000s
