    Woodfin was reacting to the state Senate’s approval this week of a bill that would also bar public schools from affirming “a divisive concept,” such as teaching that “slavery and racism are aligned with the founding principles of the United States” and that “fault, blame, or bias should be assigned to members of a race, color, religion, sex, ethnicity, or national origin, on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, ethnicity, or national origin.”

    White supremacism has been a guiding principle of US government since its founding. These thin-skinned Republicans just can’t bear to be told their heritage isn’t perfect. Ironically, this is typical of white supremacists.
