I have never heard this stated publically in my life, not even by a white supremacist.
I didn't say that anyone said Black Lives Don't Matter.

And of course we all know about racist! Racist! Racist!
What a horrific thing to say to anybody -- especially a Jew. It is disgusting.

I already said that it sounds bogus, lacking any further insight from the University. In the context of her email it doesn't sound terribly conservative/Republican, as I already pointed out.

I'm betting she's not a Republican, at all.

You really don't understand the science of masks do you. They are there to mitigate the aerosol spread of the virus from the wearer.

Every statement needs to be taken in context and I don't know the full story of the firing you are talking about.

And most definitely context ALWAYS matters.


There have been teachers fired for wearing Black Lives Matter clothing.

So that suggests that it is more about the political statement than it being left or right leaning.

Or don't......


Otherwise the Liberal Left would be just fine with say, the NFL booting Colin Kaepernick.......
Huh? What law would make it ok to boot dissent?

I live in Seattle which is overwhelmingly liberal. Much of communication can be non verbal. People can tell my wife and I are "probably" conservative a mile away. So an equally good question is do I change my appearance and the way I carry myself to blend in with liberal Seattle? No way!


Do we get the cold shoulder from that liberal waitress at the restaurant or the silent treatment from that barista at the coffee shop? All the time! But after awhile, it almost turns into a fun game for us. I truly enjoy going against the grain. I just smile, I'm friendly to everybody and the fact that I'm conservative and you are not doesn't ruin my day

No the masks are to stop your water droplets from your mouth from spreading.

This vaccinated person will continue to wear a mask in crowds until we have herd immunity or we no longer have variants that may or may not be protected by my vaccine.
I don’t wear a mask in everyday situations with people I know or outdoors.
