Debate. Debate. Debate.

This is a bit of tangent, but also the textbooks being softened to avoid teaching certain things to kids is a not a good thing. The most I have ever seen for historical events like the trail of tears in a textbook was in AP U.S. History in my junior year. It was maybe half a page, a page at most.

Anyway, what I'm saying is (which can sort of go with the other books being banned), history should not be censored because we cannot face the truth. If we leave out important historical details, people are going to make things up and we'll never know the truth; and like they always say, forgetting mistakes of the past will let us repeat them in the future.

History textbooks maybe don't need to go into "disgusting details" for younger children (such as elementary students), but they should not leave out large chunks just because there are things like racism, murder, etc.

I agree. When I was in elementary school, they didn't teach us about the Holocaust very much..it was more of a "oh Hitler is bad and Jews are good" and that was it. I had to go to the library to find books on that subject!

I'm glad that there are students that are unsatisfied with the education they receive. It's important for future voters, board members, etc. It's important to our cultures to keep this knowledge alive as a lesson to the future.

I agree. If people in the future are to make good decisions, then they must use the greatest power of them all, knowledge. If people are able to leave half-truths behind and continue to learn and prosper, even if the knowledge they gain may not be what they have been taught, the future might be a brighter one.

No pun intended.

I like you. You are eloquent.

Thank you, you are as well.

I certainly try. When I get fired up I'm certainly less eloquent….and nice.

You sound like a presidential candidate.

Why thank you, but I don't think I could handle that high of leadership.

It is only natural. Emotions can often lead to one saying different things than what they would normally, but even I do that when the I see the subject to be personally offensive, so I would be a hypocrite to judge.

Also, I sound way less eloquent in real life because I get nervous when I have to answer on the spot, rather than think out my response.

d'aw, look at the new friendship :>

(Me: clapping my hands excitedly in the corner at the making of new friendships)

lol and that my friends is how adults make friends. XD

awkwardly compliment people until the small talk stops and the debates begin once more.

(Sorry I’ve kinda disappeared, I don’t have any opinions on most of these)

I found some more unpopular opinions that aren’t mine, this time they’re from people I know/people I’ve seen on YouTube:

Political, social justice, and pro-LGBT+ messages shouldn’t be forced into children’s clothing designs, why should they be a walking billboard for things they don’t understand?

There are only two genders _{(Note from this person: trans/non-binary/genderfluid/etc are definitely valid and should be treated as such, but they don’t count as their own individual “genders”)}

Little girls shouldn’t be wearing bikinis

Instead of making UNI free, we should make it harder to access for all and instead have employers not set such high F-ing standards for jobs that are barely above minimum wage, most of these degrees don’t mean S—- anyway.

Lower life expectancy in the US has nothing to do with lack of universal healthcare

And now one of mine:

Soda tastes better flat.

how dare you. i can’t believe this. flat soda is the worst
