Can we plz fix NJ transit now?

You think that the transportation infrastructure in NJ is bad? Outside of the metropolitan areas of Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, PA has horrid infrastructure. Truly horrid. At least in Hell the roads are reasonably paved.

New Jersey's transport system should be fixed instead. The money should be reappropriated.

So you’re siding with NJ then?

I mean, PA is fast-approaching Greece-levels of broke-ness. We can barely maintain order in some of the smaller, poorer towns, and our infrastructure is literally crumbling. In fact, I’d go so far as to argue that some parts of PA are a “failed state”, so to speak.

NJT employees are our biggest problem, yesterday I had a conductor who cursed out a mom and her kids for not having the proper ticket (while you need the right ticket it was the wrong approach) and then 5 secs later the same conductor let 3 guys (all reeking of weed) ride for free because of a certain aspect they had in common. Sorry for the threadjack but NJT is pretty bad.

This is too true ( I support LGBT history but many public school students can't read or do basic arithmetic)

So because you can do math means everyone can?

Explain to me the relevance of the LGBT in American History outside of the advancement and expansion of civil rights.

We teach the 1960s Civil Rights movement in our history classes, why not this?

You’re right, we should return to topic. My apologies.

Tbh, the public education system in the United States is a clustertruck of unfathomable scale. Hence why I am privately schooled, and rather thankful that I have that privilege. The LGBT history lessons, while well intentioned, won’t fix the underlying issues in the education system.

Because the LGBT civil rights movement hasn’t come yet.

The Civil Rights Movement was a very specific period in American history marked by large-scale demonstrations across the country in an attempt to secure equals rights for the single largest minority in the country (at the time). It was highly organized and had a lasting impact on the average American and American society to such a degree that the affects can still be felt to this very day.

There is no movement the LGBT can claim ownership to which bares any similarity to the sheer weight, influence, and importance of the Civil Right Movement in American History. Covering all LGBT History in America would just give us another "Black History Month"; another pointless division in the teaching of American History.
