"If you listen to state leaders who oppose HB2, you would never know that
the legislation was crafted as an assault on the civil rights of LGBTQ
people. The discussion today is all about the economic losses inflicted
by sports leagues and corporations that have boycotted the state. Like
the campaign against Amendment One in 2012, opponents of HB2 have
de-gayed the discussion. Why? Because North Carolina politicians and
consultants are scared of the words lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender
and queer. They are scared that social conservatives might be
uncomfortable hearing too much about a third rail issue such as the basic
civil rights of gay and transgender people. So they pander. The
opposition to HB2 from leaders in the state is as disingenuous as it
gets."
HB2 hurts economically, but that’s not the point
Human knowledge has progressed exponentially since the dawn of modern science. It is no longer reasonable to accept claims without sufficient objective evidence. The harm from religion, alternatives to medicine, conservatism, and all other false beliefs will be exposed on this blog by reporting the findings of science. This blog will also reinforce what should be the basics of education: History, Civics, Financial Literacy, Media Literacy, and Critical/Science Based Thinking.

The Bill Of Rights
"The Bill of Rights is the collective name for the first ten amendments to the United States Constitution.
Proposed following the oftentimes bitter 1787–88 battle over
ratification of the U.S. Constitution, and crafted to address the
objections raised by Anti-Federalists, the Bill of Rights amendments add to the Constitution specific guarantees of personal freedoms and rights,
clear limitations on the government's power in judicial and other
proceedings, and explicit declarations that all powers not specifically
delegated to Congress by the Constitution are reserved for the states or
the people."
