Right, and I should have been more clear that parents are the teachers in this scenario.

Perfect storm, then. Arrgghh

Quote:6-year-old New Jersey girl is one of the youngest new members of high IQ society

Like many 6-year-olds, Declan Lopez wishes unicorns were real. She told CNN in an operatic voice she aspires to be a singer, and if that doesn’t work out, a fashion designer.

At first glance, many wouldn’t suspect the rambunctious Rockaway, New Jersey, kindergartner is a member of Mensa, an international society for people with high intelligence quotients.

That is, until Declan starts talking about atomic weights.

Good.

We need more smart people and fewer fucking idiots in the world.

So let's get this straight, Kanye West can be openly Anti-semitic and conservatives will defend him. The right will openly defend Nick Fuentes an open Anti-semite. They will support Steve Banon a guy who once asked "Why do schools have so many Hanukkah Books ?" Are cool with Stephen Miller a white nationalist. Wil push the great replacement theory an idea with Anti-Semitic roots. Won't kick out Marjorie Jewish Space Laser Green. But thinks they are the ones who can launch an investigation into Anti-Semitism on college campuses. Maybe they should clean their own house first?

If a Dem says it, it's wrong if not evil.

If a Republican says it, anyone disagreeing is a traitor.

Huge difference between boycotting because you are a d-bag transphobe shooting beer cans, verses boycotting because you don't like being associated with antisemites.

Funny thing - Kid Rock, who shot up the Bud Light cans, sells Bud Light at his bar in Nashville.
