Remember when a handful of congressmen wanted to enshrine English as the official language of America and liberals were screaming that it was absurd and would never get changed anyway? Funny that…
Yet another aspect of our common culture that was destroyed by "civil rights" legislation. "Discrimination against national origin" was used to justify requiring government services in spanish and forcing state and local governments to pay for interpreter services in the name of "equality".
America is an economic zone. The civil rights act overrode the constitution.
Isn't it Caldwell who calls it 'the second constitution'? More and more, even in the mainstream, seem to believe that the harms done by so called civil rights legislation is greater than the benefits.
Also, they don't just deal with civil rights. A civil right is a right of a citizen (cives). This would include things like free speech, the right to vote, etc. It does not include the right to be treated equally by private actors.
The “civil rights” movement turned into a bully pulpit by the 80s and never looked back. Funny how the civil liberties always applied to “non-normative” people mean while “normative” people’s liberties have been eroded.
I remember. Or should I say Pepperidge farm remembers
"It will never be [changed thing] anyways" is the biggest tell, a screaming, shouting tell, that you should expect it to become [changed thing].
Oh, you don't need to do this free, zero-cost, zero opportunity cost even thing, because the massive, MASSIVE consequences of if you don't will totally never happen.
You see it again and again. "Oh, you don't need to discuss about parental overwatch with teachers grooming kids, it never happens!", "Oh, you don't need to reinforce that people need to have some public decency even on Pride days, indecency at pride parades never happens!", "Oh, you don't need to highlight that they speak English in America!"
Just a few months ago there was the whole thing with passing a law that teachers couldn't sexually "educate" kindergartners about explicit sex acts without parental permission, and everyone was like "oh no, that's not happening so we should never pass a law against it, because it isn't happening. Also, you're genociding gay people with this bill, somehow."
