I get where you're coming from, gentlemen. But both of you know it's not that simple. Want proof?
Glenn, if you're gonna assume that level of deceit in VP Kamala, will you please do the same with Tim Scott and Byron Donalds? They both chimed in on this issue in a similar way. Does that make them demagogues?
I think it's the nature of US politics in 2023. Let us not forget it used to be a helluva lot worse.
John's strongest point, I believe, was the ratio: i.e., one line out of 190-something. Excellent point, BUT...
This kind of thing happens all of the time, guys. It is almost always the scandalous / controversial line that screams and endures. When has that NOT been true?
Remember when Jessie Jackson said "Hy---town"? What else did he say in that speech? Anybody know? Me either. What was The Bell Curve about? I honestly never read it. But apparently it touched on many other subjects than the one it's notorious for.

Last point: "Card-carrying conservative Black Republican".
For some people, the above phrase raises just as many eyebrows as "African-American Studies Department" does with others.
More info about Mr. Allen would help. What KIND of "card-carrying conservative Black Republican"? Candace Owens or Condoleezza Rice? Jessie Lee Peterson or Michael Steele?
In my view, it was a strange (and clumsily worded) entry to place in the *guidelines* of a public school curriculum that could potentially include 7th-graders. That doesn't mean that I am maniacally against teaching the full scope of history. That's an immature accusation.
