The younger the child the probability there is less chastising. 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.  [/quote]
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?[/quote]

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.[/quote]

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?[/quote]

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 …[/quote]

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

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. [/quote]

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. [/quote]

They were boasting on social media about taking down the government on their social media pages, which is how most of them were identified. Their later deleted social media boasted about being ready to take part in the fight of their lives.

Not innocent and premeditated assault on democracy based on Trump’s ongoing lies that he won the election.

His people continue to try and overturn a legal election based on his lies.
