[@zues287]

His nephew, RFK Jr, is running for president, and is a breath of fresh air. He's been doing 2+ hour podcast interviews multiple times for week, and he actually has thoughtful, reasonable answers to the problems of today. Neither Biden, nor Trump will even talk about the issues that plague our country today. His interview with Lex Fridman is great, along with many others he's done. I'd also recommend watching "Who is Bobby Kennedy". It's a short 15 minute documentary about his life and the work that he's done. He's already done more for the American people than anyone running for office today.

Neither does where we find ourselves today. History is critically important. Critical thinking is so important. I read were education started being taken apart during Nixon. We MUST get it together and actively inoculate against this happening again.

[@retrospecter100]

@@catpaladin1 Education was certainly falling backwards then. I was in a public high school and I can attest. Teachers seemed disinterested and even admitted it privately, and students were also quite cynical and slacking-- more interested in beer and pot, and judging by their current Facebook accounts they are still living it. One wonders who they voted for even well-before Trump, or if they even voted at all. Classes were certainly a bore then, and we could not wait to graduate. Finally, in our home we still kept the social studies textbooks of my sister's from the mid-1960s. These were far more advanced and intellectually challenging than our books of nine years later.

24:39, Great answer about not only the undecided voter but all voters. Pick one of the candidates from the Democratic or Republican party. You waste your vote on a third-party candidate. If you don't really like the candidate, pick from the candidate's and party's positions. For example, The Democratic party believes that woman in America should have the freedom to choose what to do with their own body, they also believe in Obamacare, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, gun safety (without taking guns from law abiding citizens) and they believe in protecting the environment. The Republican party wants to eliminate ALL of that. So, what's your decision?

Both parties foreign imperialism and domestic spying. Libertarian party is consistently anti war and pro freedom. Green Party is anti war and pro freedom. So what’s your decision?

Thanks @Face the Nation for posting this video about affirmative action / supreme court. Here are the viewpoints expressed by Supreme Court justices regarding affirmative action. 1) This case is about a group called Students for Fair Admissions (SFFA) who sued Harvard College and the University of North Carolina (UNC). They said that these schools were not fair in their admissions process because they were using race as a factor, which they believed was against the law. The law they referred to is the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment*. 2) The Equal Protection Clause is a part of the Fourteenth Amendment that says that every person should be treated equally by the law, no matter their race, color, or nationality. The SFFA believed that by considering race in admissions, Harvard and UNC were not treating all applicants equally. 3) The Court looked at the history of the Fourteenth Amendment and how it has been used in the past. They also looked at how other cases involving race and college admissions were handled. They found that while diversity in a student body can be a good thing, it must be handled in a way that treats all applicants fairly and equally. 4) The Court also looked at the idea of "strict scrutiny*". This is a way for the courts to look at laws to see if they are fair and necessary. If a law or policy is found to be unfair or unnecessary, it may not pass strict scrutiny and could be considered unconstitutional. 5) The Court found that the admissions systems at Harvard and UNC did not pass strict scrutiny. They said that the schools' use of race in admissions was not clear or specific enough, and it resulted in fewer admissions for certain racial groups. They also said that the schools' use of race in admissions seemed to stereotype certain racial groups, which is not allowed. 6) The Court also said that the schools' admissions systems did not have a clear end point. This means that there was no clear plan for when the schools would stop using race as a factor in admissions. This was another reason why the Court said the schools' admissions systems were not fair. 7) The Court decided that the admissions systems at Harvard and UNC were not fair and did not follow the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. They said that the schools' use of race in admissions was not clear, specific, or fair enough to be allowed. 8) However, the Court also said that schools can consider how race has affected an applicant's life. They can look at how an applicant's experiences with their race have shaped them and what they can bring to the school because of those experiences. 9) In the end, the Court decided that the admissions systems at Harvard and UNC were not fair and did not follow the law. They said that the schools' use of race in admissions was not allowed because it was not clear, specific, or fair enough. 10) So, the Court decided that the SFFA was right. They said that Harvard and UNC were not treating all applicants equally in their admissions process, which is against the law. They said that the schools needed to change their admissions systems to be fair to all applicants, no matter their race. *The Equal Protection Clause is a part of the Fourteenth Amendment that says that every person should be treated equally by the law, no matter their race, color, or nationality. *Strict scrutiny is a way for the courts to look at laws to see if they are fair and necessary. If a law or policy is found to be unfair or unnecessary, it may not pass strict scrutiny and could be considered unconstitutional.
