I keep remembering how Hillary warned everyone of it, and the whole "You're the puppet" response. People stuck their heads in the sand to ignore it but it really has been right there all along.

This is terrible. Eta: I hope the school quickly and appropriately handled this. I can’t believe this was allowed to happen on a playground and the family had to find out through their daughter. Where was the supervision? Why didn’t the teachers notice a clearly upset child? AND who are the good Christian adults (assuming, per the school name) these kids are learning this crap from? They aren't coming up with this shit on their own. "They kept laughing and calling me names," Amari said, as tears poured down her face. "They called me 'ugly,' said, 'I shouldn't have been born.' They called me 'an attention-seeker.'"

Unfortunately I think people are going to continue to bury their heads in the sand and it's only going to get worse before it gets better. The rabid 45 supporters are going to continue to scream hoax, witch hunt, and fake news. With all the places that have gerrymandered districts it seems almost impossible to overcome I'm not optimistic right now. I am in a dark headspace today.

Oh, that sweet girl. She deserves so much better than this.
I'd say raise better sons but kids don't learn that vile shit in a vacuum so I won't hold my breath for these parents to do anything meankngful.

Watch, the boys' parents will probably sue the school or something. I hope the school dealt with the boys, that is horrible.

That poor, poor girl. I know this kind of assault happening is nothing new, only just now getting attention. I doubt their parents punish them. Those boys learned it somewhere.

the "Don't Tread on Me" flag was appropriated by the tea party so I assume anyone flying it is a whacko libertarian Someone on my neighborbood has a Don't Tread on Me yard sign and a Trump 2020 sign. My BIL is also an idiot 45 supporter and has a Don't Tread on Me sticker on his truck 🙄 That’s kinda what I am afraid of, because I noticed it after the impeachment started

Whoa. What a dick he is.
...Pretty much exactly who you'd expect to preside over an agency that cages kids.

Nobody here will care but the BRIDGE TROLL has not one but TWO challengers!
I just found this out! I'm really excited and I wanted to share
(for new people, Bridge Troll is Senator James Risch, Idaho, GOP and one of the wealthiest members of Congress, he has a great disdain for public employees and is just all around an asshole)
