"allegedly encouraging students to wear Islamic religious attire during a field trip to a local mosque"

That's called respect and education.

Huh? Would your imaginary field trip include delivery of the Eucharist? Is that what you're referring to? Priests would have to clean that up.

We're talking about religion, not anonymous man-on-man bathroom sexual encounters. If rightwingers ever want to regain any cred here, they wouldn't load up almost every thread with this crap.

There are queer people on the Retort who don't talk about it much at all, and you folks claim genderqueer people are always trying to get in our face. Why don't you STFU for a change?

My son told me the other day (I don't believe it) that if you keep clicking on the first link of any Wikipedia page after the pronunciation, eventually you end up with "philosophy." That's like the Retort. Hang around long enough, and this will come up.

Hey, BellRinger, why don't you and Lefty and FortFisher go research that for a few weeks and get back to us? Come back with something new.

I never saw so many people work hard to be lazy.

Also called considering the source, Eb. Usually saves time.

This isn't Forrest Gump. You often know what you're going to get. Playing the odds.

I had a friend who was way past legally blind. When he was a teenager going for his driver's license, the person said their job was to make sure this guy was never on American roads.

Forty years later (2010s) and his eyesight far worse, he's a movie reviewer for a prominent US city alt-weekly. He rarely sees the whole movies but uses plot summaries and characters and such to riff on the Zeitgeist. Quite popular.

"Frothed up," Eb? Like Santorum?

"Source": well, ok.

Yes, I'm aware.

Right now I'm typing to you.
