    Let’s say there is a public school. I kill the principal, build a new school, hire 30% of the old school’s teachers, and completely change the rules and curriculum.

    Is the new school the same as the old school?

        …trust me on this. Even the reconstruction and Jim Crow eras weren’t equivalent to what was going on prior to the Confederacy. I know from personal experience that the south is a shithole, but you got to give them credit where it’s due.

          I’m not trusting anyone who says “trust me.”

          I know it was bad. I said what I said.
