The party trying to control what people think by banning the teaching of history? Hint: Not the left.
Hint: Republicans aren’t trying to ban the teaching of history. We want MORE history taught. We need to teach about the history of racism and oppression in this country. The Left conflates history with CRT.
Hint: learn the difference (and teach it to your kids!)

The prefix un and suffix less mean the same. House and home have the same meaning. It's that simple. Unhoused is the same as homeless.
I can't imagine a homeless person using unhoused in a sentence.
Seriously it sounds like you do not know many homeless/ unhoused people. I have. Many of them are brilliant. There are many homeless/ unhoused people now due to real estate affordable home crisis, being homeless could happen to anyone.
If they were brilliant they’d be able to make rent.
Drugs, alcohol and mental problems are why they are that way
Mental illness and addiction issues don’t mean people can’t understand basic words or know where they are. Homeless =/= unintelligent. I’m appalled at your attitude toward those less fortunate than you.
You’ve obviously never spent time in an inner city emergency room
Tell me how much you donate before you get sanctimonious
I'm the initial poster. I live in DC and have spent lots of time in the ERs of DMV. I'm terminally ill and also have had lots of inpatient stays, both short and long.
I actually wrote about a homeless mentally ill woman I met in the ER in another thread. I have lots of stories about them. I've shared some on these stories on other threads.

And yet you weirdos have issue with the word “unhoused.” No one demanded that you used the word. But you’re offended by other people using it!
Do you not see how insane you are?
I’m not offended by it in the least, say whatever you want. Maybe no one is demanding it now, but soon saying “homeless” will be considered offensive and we will all be told, implicitly or explicitly, that we can’t say it. Just like we can’t say “eating disorder,” it’s now “disordered eating.” And we can’t call it “looting.” And we can’t say “pedophile,” it’s “minor attracted person.” And we can’t say “minority” it needs to be “under represented minority (URM).” All this nonsense is coming from the left.

I was unhoused from 26-29 and was fantastic. I bounced between Moms house, girlfriends houses, friends houses, saved me a ton.
Although I got pulled over by cop once and my license, registration and insurance card had three different addresses as my mail was everywhere

See you have not met and talked with them …
Through volunteering at programs to help people in transition out of homelessness, I have met:
A very bright and ambitious Homeless single mother who had been a corporate hot shot but had an extremely difficult pregnancy, could not work or even stand, lost her medical insurance and then excessive medical bills resulted in her losing her home. She is on her feet again now but it took a long time when you have a baby and health challenges;
Former military vets who found it hard to adjust to civilian life after serving in wars where they saw and participated in horrific violence;
Many children who work hard to keep up with school work despite not having a permanent address;
Many single mothers and several single fathers who work hard to create more promising futures for their children. It is very hard to take care of young children, work enough hours to pay bills, and hold down jobs as single parents of young children.
Many of them love animals and miss having pets.
When I meet homeless/ unhoused people, I strongly believe there but for the grace of God go I. They are people with feelings, dreams and challenges just like the rest of us housed people.
