Your negative attitude shows your level of maturity.

To the corner with you.

Keep trying to be insulting but the title could have listed accomplishments or goals. Not skin color and sex.

It's kind of important in this context. Minorities are empowered by seeing people who look like them in positions of power. Look at a picture of the US presidents. Old white guy, old white guy, old white guy, younger black guy, old white (well, orange) guy, old white guy. Sorry your ego is so fragile.

She's literally the first woman to be PA speaker of the house...

It's significant. Go sit down and shut up.

I think they are insinuating the usual talking points we’ve seen from more conservative and outspoken folks over the last few years. And as usual, this poster doesn’t seem to grasp the irony. I may be wrong, but they strike me as a “Fox News isn’t media” kind of person.

What barriers? What percentage of people in office in that area are female ? How many women choose to be in that profession. Why make it seem something it isn't.

Exactly. We wouldnt even be having this conversation if it was regulated much like it is with the MMJ program.

Because the school didn't want it in the first place but they couldn't legally turn it down. This also happened in Florida, a school district wanted to let Christians give literature to kids. Legally, if they were opening up the school to Christians they had to open it to all religions. They stopped the whole thing when a Muslim group and the satanic temple started showing up. The satanic temple made a coloring/activity book to hand out.

I agree with you, and boy howdy do I hope you apply that mindset to the many other hot-button issues that are in the cultural zeitgeist these days.

I didn't get offended. You said you've never met a Christian that follows the teachings of Christ and I said I bet you have.

My comment from the original story stands. Legalize it. We wouldn't be worrying about dangerous drugs getting into it if it was regulated. A lot of the D8 stuff is is unregulated garbage. We don't have these issues in the MMJ program. It is heavily regulated and rigorously tested.

It's a first. Yes. It matters that a barrier has been broken. Go sit down and pout.

Sounds like the idiot was too disruptive. Why would anyone let that logic slide?

>I said she was picked because she’s the best qualified, and that’s all that should matter.

You literally said the opposite in your OP.

>but can we stop with the identity politics?

Do you not understand what you even wrote?

Instead of racing around on regular roads and putting regular people in danger, consider joining the SCCA or some other local racing club and go drive on a racetrack. It’s way more fun, you can use your regular car, you can drive way faster, and it’s safer for you and for everyone around you. It’s not free, but it’s less than a speeding ticket, and way less than having your insurance rates go up. There are also EMTs on site in case something goes wrong, and a large community of people that will help you get the most fun out of your car. Here’s one of their track nights next month up at Pocono Raceway.

They’re a ton of fun, and you’ll meet all sorts of interesting people there.

See, there's your mistake. You are looking for an organization and not an individual. You said you haven't met any Christians, then you look for an organization.

K. Leroy Irvis

>Kirkland Leroy Irvis (December 27, 1919 – March 16, 2006) was a teacher, activist and politician based in Pennsylvania; he was the first African American to serve as a speaker of the house in any state legislature in the United States since Reconstruction. (John Roy Lynch (1847–1939) of Mississippi had been the first African American to hold that position. ) Irvis, a Democrat, represented Pittsburgh in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives from 1958–1988.

Why shouldn't it matter? It might not be the most momentous of occasions, but it's not insignificant given that there have been 142 Speakers prior to Johanna McClinton, but no women and only on other Black Pennsylvanian (K. Leroy Irvis).

If nothing also, given how prominent race has been throughout American history, especially in its politics, it seems naïve to think to feign its irrelevance. It's not making, "everything," about race to note the significance of somebody from a people who have been abused and oppressed throughout American history attaining a position of significant authority.

So you're just going to ignore your identity politics comment then? Because that's what that means.

After that idiot did that the school said it was too disruptive to continue.
