Calling Trump racist for wanting to deport illegal immigrants and opposing BLM sounds pretty baseless. Which is why the attack failed. It makes "racism" just a synonym for supporting Trump's positions, it's not longer some fringe position held by the KKK and neo-nazis.

the latter wasn't a big thing really (Ait was more he just talked into law and order when the topic was about racial relations. That's the closest i could find and the "Ist" word wasn't found)

How much does it impact the classes performance as a whole?

If religious education is making students do worse in general then it should not be difficult to find evidence of it.

Are there any reliable hard figures published out there? Have you seen evidence that they perform equally well?

Certainly students who aren't taught about evolution in biology class will be unprepared for it at the college level. Hell, it's a danger to public health to potentially be training doctors who don't know about antibiotic-resistant diseases. Over-prescription of antibiotics render the antibiotics useless, and if you don't understand how evolution works, you won't understand how microbes develop resistance in the first place.

I mean, this is what has been going on for years on the Republicans.

Democrats only use Latinos as a token voter thing, though.

Well it is at least a form of inaccurate bigotry so...so far all the "ism" either apparently didn't happen or aren't as invalid as you think.
Also what are we suppose to do about this. Stop saying "Ist"?...get our politicians to condemn "ist" words? if you have the perfect way to stop people from saying stupid reveal this secret and you'l probably be rich.

Eh. It doesn't look as bad as I thought.

I assume you mean MT, ND, MO, IN, and WV. But FL, OH, PA, MI, and WI are not blue states.

And assuming Democrats hold every single seat here, and pick up NV and AZ which are the only plausible pick ups, that would only get them a 50-50 tie.

There is no reason in principle the slack cannot be taken up by another source, like government spending. Interest rates are at all time lows so it is a good time for the government to take on debt.

Government spending is fueled by debt, but so is consumer spending at the moment. Neither can be relied on forever. But Trumps plan to create incentives to invest in the US instead of creating incentives for US companies to invest abroad has a better chance of raising productivity in the long run than the prevailing approach of pinning hopes on ultra-low productivity sectors like healthcare and education or anti-productive sectors like finance while letting all the industry jobs slip away.

Oh I see. Yes, that's true. But you can't be telling voters what to do, they make the decisions. And telling crucial voters that they were racist was not a smart thing to do.

How will Trump reduce labor costs to equal that of China or even Mexico? That's the driving factor for outsourcing, not taxes.

Outlaw unions and safety protections for humans and the environment. They're not constitutionally guaranteed. If he's so intent on tearing down governmental institutions so that everyone can operate according to laborist principles so be it.
Or just fine everyone who doesn't comply.
