Yes, you read this correctly.

Americans, this is why it is SO IMPORTANT that you vote in the upcoming November election.

“Sorry lil Jimmy we can’t let you be fostered by this loving family because they’re Jewish. Stay put and keep attending our mandatory Bible study while we rake in more money until we can find a proper Christian family.”

Does this mean that Jewish kids who end up in foster care couldn’t be placed in Jewish homes? (Or Muslim or Catholic kids in Muslim or Catholic homes, etc.)

If the private foster agency in question takes them from the public system and places them in a group home, yes. And for all we know, those are exactly the kids they’re after, the young non-Protestant ones who they want to convert.

The first “religious freedom” lawsuits were never about baking cakes, they were about laying a foundation.

What she says: I’m fine

What she means: Why isn’t it taught that abortion was perfectly legal in the US in early 1870s and it wasn’t until a Jewish doctor, who was being framed, was put on trial for manslaughter (a trial, as well as the press covering it, which was greatly tinged with antisemitism) that opened the floodgates for antiabortion crusaders which eventually led to its criminalization?

I did not know this!

Me neither, until I read this book.

Look at the notes for the name of the book if anyone else is interested.

The book is called Bad Rabbi: And Other Strange but True Stories from the Yiddish Press. By Eddy Portnoy

Other recommended books in the notes that talk about this are:

The Moral Property of Sex by Linda Gordon

Rereading Sex by Helen Horowitz

Republican Candidate Goes Full Nazi: Jews “Pretend” to be White to Undermine the White Race

anexperimentallife:

I fucking told you this was coming. I warned you that the GOP was plunging headfirst into Nazi ideology. It was fucking obvious to anyone who took even the briefest course in Holocaust Literature and examined the Nazis’ ideology and their rise to power in the early twentieth century. Hell, multiple Holocaust survivors themselves tried to warn about it.

And when those of us who actually studied this shit tried to raise the alarm, ignorant asshats screamed, “Stop calling them Nazis! That’s immature name-calling. You can’t just call anyone you don’t like a Nazi.”

I don’t call them Nazis “because I don’t like them.” I call them Nazis because they are fucking Nazis. As in they have adopted, point for point, the Nazi ideology.

(Oh, many of them will still object to being called Nazis–even while their supporters literally march with Swastika flags. But then again, except for a brief period when some tried to “reclaim” the term, most WWII Nazis didn’t like being called Nazis, either–it was originally the short version of a name that was popular with uneducated rural folks, but that came to mean basically “stupid hick.” And it just so happened to work well as a shortened version of the actual party name.)
