    “I don’t like the name Mountain View high school. Its too generic”

    Really ma’am? So you’re rather have it named after a divisive traitorous man that fought to enslave a portion of the people that are required to attend that high school? To you generic is too offensive, but Stonewall Jackson High isn’t? Careful, your racism is showing.

      The south can rise again if it wants, but next time it gets put down for good. No more half assing with these racist goons.

        Let them leave. They aren’t worth the trouble at this point. They barely grow any ag, they don’t provide much to the economy, and they have the highest levels of incarceration by multiples and the worst quality of education. The US would be closer to Sweden in most metrics if we got rid of the south.

            In what way does the US exploit the south in particular?

                That’s not the United States exploiting them. It’s their employers exploiting them and them not unionizing because they’ve been brainwashed into thinking unions are bad.

                  How do you not think that the government isn’t the capitalist state? The one who regulates commerce among capitalists, and those rules get put in by input from the collective capitalists. They are one and the same.
