Have you paid attention to the pandemic at all?

Your job as a parent is not to indoctrinate your child with political rhetoric. Completely age-inappropriate.

Explaining why some people are in favor of masks and some are not while the kids see it all around is my job as a parent.

They also don't understand why some people say president biden is not the president and they deserve an explanation.

How old are your kids? My kid was in 4th grade when this started. I didn’t have to explain anything because it was extremely obvious to anyone with half a brain what was going on. We have a large group of insane people who claim it was a hoax, the vaccine has microchips, and horse deworming medicine is the solution. Then we have another large group of crazy people who hide in their houses, won’t let their kids go outside and play, and wear a mask while driving in a car with the windows down alone. My kid clearly understood that a large percentage of our population is crazy and they’re at war with each other.

Good for your little genius. Some have questions and would like to talk about what they see around them.

My child attended a school with children from a highly recognizable person from the past administration. The kids of this person were young, so no issues arose. I bet if the kids were older there would have been all kinds of problems.

I'm particularly wondering about grandchildren/teenage children of a certain past president. The oldest grandchildren are definitely old enough to have current events discussed in school. What is it like for those grandchildren? Are they being kept in a bubble by their parents/parents lying to them about how great their grandparent is and how awful everyone else is? Like, how do you explain an event like January 6 to those grandchildren? How is it discussed in their school?

Trump hasn't been formally implicated so it would be unlikely and inappropriate for a teacher to host a discussion about it. In the DC area in general, partisan issues are kept out of the classroom. Its possible to have a nonpartisan discussion of current events.

Wait, are you saying it would be "inappropriate" to have a discussion in a HS classroom about what happened on 1/6? How about the entirety of the 2000 election cycle and the lawsuits?

It would be inappropriate to say that Trump had a role in the attack. That hasn't yet been officially determined. The event can be discussed in a way that would not be in any way offensive to a Trump kid by discussing the facts and what has been established in court.

We watched him in real time egging them on and loving on the violent rioters … literally told them they were special and he loved them as they violently plundered the Capitol and murdered people. We came very close to his own deputy being bound and possibly Murdered for false claims that he could have changed the outcome of the election by not carrying out his constitutional duty …

And yet, Capitol police officers testified under oath that they opened doors and waved people into the Capitol.

This in no way reduces Trump’s culpability in inciting a violent insurrection - we all saw Trump on that terrible day egging the violent protesters on to fight for their life (from his lofty White House office) and not doing a damn thing to stop the looting and chaos for many hours. Even after his own Ivanka advised he do so.

Considering some people have been rotting in jail without due process when they were physically let in by police officers? When a Capitol police officer lets you into a building, you are no longer trespassing.

So now the right is concerned about due process and conditions of prisions.

He behaved poorly.

He was accused. Not indicted. And the evidence was scant so he was still confirmed.

None of that contradicts the fact that he behaved poorly at the confirmation hearings.

How? By defending himself and not just rolling over to the liberal mob?

Defense?!? What he had was a hissy-fit.

Not sure I buy the #bothsides there - I live in DC and I don't know of anyone in that "hide in their houses, won't let their kids go outside" category. And, the only people I ever saw driving wearing a mask usually had an "Uber" or "Lyft" sign on their car.

Yeah I agree. We got vaccinated but even before then did not wear
Masks outside. We wore masks inside public places. No big deal.

The anti vaxxers were way more crazy and attached their views to bizarre conspiracy theories/
politicization of science (sound methodology) and mocking public health professionals who started receiving death threats in large numbers.
