Same with election law changes, Republicans charge that they are simply countering moves made by Democrats. A rather useful guise, you must admit. To draw people into action. To garner unwavering support for... for? Well just about anything.
But what is it they ARE trying to do?
By your description it does sound a tad... evil. Fascist Republican takeover of things is it?
Let's see their take...
“You think about what MLK stood for, he said he didn’t want people judged on the color of their skin but on the content of their character. You listen to some of these people nowadays, they don’t talk about that.”
Okay... and a snippet of actual text?
The “Individual Freedom” bill states that “an individual, by virtue of his or her race or sex, does not bear responsibility for actions committed in the past by other members of the same race or sex,” and “an individual should not be made to feel discomfort, guilt, anguish, or any other form of psychological distress on account of his or her race.”
In theory it could be fine.... but it IS a reaction and reactionaries often miss the mark and go too far. Abuse the letter of the law to do something untoward. The intent may be good but I do believe it goes a little bit too far. Allows for too much interjection.
But then, how much do YOU disagree with the letter of the law?
“an individual should not be made to feel discomfort, guilt, anguish, or any other form of psychological distress on account of his or her race.”
Is there a time when a child, for example, should be admonished, berated, or embarrassed for the color of their skin?
I would say not. And the law does claim to protect them. Do you disagree?
