sndmn,

I swear these people, when it came time to name their state, said “We want to be called Kansas!” But there’s already a state called Kansas.

Okay then, how about “Our Kansas”?

I guess we can work with that.

DragonTypeWyvern,

1: Arkansas is older than Kansas

2: Both are clearly native words.

3: They actually might be accidentally related as a result.

4: Lol, they are. Both roughly mean “The South Wind,” and were a name for a tribe in the area. Those dummies used a different spelling of the same word…

Chickenstalker,

The American experiment in federalism is a failure. You need to abolish states power and become a true unitary government. The alternative is another civil war.

CrayonRosary,

Eliminating the states would cause civil war. I guess it’s just inevitable then.

Drivebyhaiku,

I know it’s useless to try and unbunch the State’s underwear outta their ass about taking away their “States rights” but really from the outside there are plenty of places with Provinces / prefectures / states that still have individual character and bylaw WITHOUT binding their citizens by what is in effect the sovereignty of two separate competing countries.

Folk in the states seem to make it all about how free it makes everyone… But from over here it looks more like some kind of beaurcratic bondage fetish.

MossBear,

Conservatives are having a serious regressive episode right now. I hope they get better soon.

doppelgangmember,

They’ll get around to that after they cure their leprosy first with… idk mint leaves or whatever they decide now

cvozbosher,

Mint leaves are too hippy. Prayer will do it.

doppelgangmember,

Holy H2o it is

Other states should refuse to recognize the high school diplomas from states with these policies.

gAlienLifeform,

I like the spirit, but that seems like it’d just fracture the country further and keep Alabama high school students trapped in Alabama, which is exactly what the old assholes making these decisions want

Instead, there should be a criminal charges and a civil lawsuit from the federal government for violating these kids civil rights to a real education, and the offenders should be deemed likely witness intimidators and jailed pre-trial.

SuzyQ,

Your spirit is there, but you have the wrong A state. It’s Arkansas pulling this crap, not Alabama.

AmosBurton_ThatGuy,

Tomato tomato

prole,

Yep. We had to do it ~60 years ago when the federal government forcibly integrated public schools, and let me just tell you, people were not happy.

cvozbosher,

They don’t need to stop recognizing deplomas from there. All they need to do is maintain appropriate application standards and the fully indoctrinated will weed themselves out.

dragonflyteaparty,

True, but honestly really sad. I doubt the majority of these students asked for this.
