I maintain that we don't need new laws or funding to fix what's wrong. Government has an obligation to enforce the laws as they are written.
Why would a comment about ignoring civics in education feel 'toxic' to you?
I only ask because I never felt civics to be commonly associated with political discussion... it's usually the lack that brings discord. (Don't shoot me, it's just my opinion.)
What am I missing?... I must have inadvertently pissed off a lot of people, not understanding that this might be considered a 'toxic' element.
In response to that, I get a 'civics lesson' which was accurate regarding Congress. But, it has nothing to do with the topic of why people are streaming over the border in numbers we've never seen before.
What's toxic is how this thread became a left vs. right thing. I'm going to tune out if DI becomes yet another far-left/far-right discussion board with no room in the middle.
