[QUOTE="Laurie!, post: 414441, member: 2210"] The wake up part of my post wasn't directed at you. It was directed at those who refuse to see what the evangelicals have in mind under the Trump administration. It only applies to you, if you refuse to see that. The religious right expects Trump to curry favor for them since they feel they got him elected....and he's not even Christian. He wouldn't know a Bible passage from a Shakespeare quote. How do you propose that marginalized people are protected from being discriminated against? That's true but fortunately, that's the past. They just now feel emboldened to bring it back. The entire reason for DEI type rules and "quotas" for including racial, religious, gender, sexual minorities is because it's been the only way to ensure they're not refused employment or admission, etc. Otherwise an employer or whomever can just say, they weren't qualified and only hire people of his or her own race, etc. How would you ensure people aren't discriminated against? They want to and The Stop WOKE Act, also known as the Stop Wrongs to Our Kids and Employees Act and redubbed the Individual Freedom Act, originally passed by De Santis in Florida is the type of law that will be commonplace in Republican states/districts. Nobody with a brain cell above the stem, believes that white people are the only racists. Every race has racists. It just seems to be white people who feel the need right now to delete facts from the historical record because they find it uncomfortable. [/QUOTE]
