So sad that the intolerance in our region hasn't changed to this day.

Yes, liberals still do their thing.

@@theinsectmanofwv Yes. West Virginia has such a problem with liberals. We're practically overrun! Been injecting your Lysol, lately? Watch out for windmill cancer. The Chinese engineered virus is a hoax To distract us from this stuff!

@@theinsectmanofwv Evolution is a fact. COVID-19 and yearly flu strains are perfect examples of evolution in action. Small changes in genetic code every generation adding up to big changes over thousands and hundreds of thousands of generations. Take a picture of a man every day, don't shave or cut his hair. Can't tell a difference between day 25 and day 27, but when you look at the big picture, from day 0 to day 365, the change is immediately obvious. There's you a good analogy, because I'm sure you have some underlying misconceptions for how evolution works. Also there's no need to believe in it. I KNOW the sky is blue, I don't need to take it on faith.

The only way to make it is by machines and engineering. Given every tree on the planet and infinite time, evolution could never make a toothpick. The only thing "evolution" can do is rot the wood."

Although this clip is not bad, anyone who wants to know the protester's side of the story (rather than propaganda) should see www.insectman.us/testimony/protester-voices.htm

They just want the narrative. She did predict it.

My parents took part in this protest and eventually moved me to a Christian School. Thank God they had the guts to stand up to that crap. I received a much higher quality education and did the same for my children. My parents worked overtime and sacrificed to pay my tuition. My wife and I did the same. Thank God we have parents today that are willing to stand up for their children and their education and to stop liberals from corrupting more of our children. I will work as long as I have to to keep my grandchildren from the liberal cesspool that are public schools.
