Summary
Project 2025, a manifesto supported by the conservative Heritage Foundation, calls for a ban on pornography, labeling its purveyors as criminals and advocating for strict penalties, including jail time for producers and registered sex offender status for educators distributing it.
The manifesto argues that porn lacks First Amendment protection, framing it as harmful and exploitative.
With a right-leaning Supreme Court, proponents aim to overturn existing protections established in Miller v. California, potentially impacting mainstream media.
Donald Trump has pledged to bring Project 2025 contributors onto his team.
And again, the US totally failed to learn from history. This time, even their own history. Do you actually have history classes in school, or has this been replaced by “American” “football” or “Cheerleading” classes already?
Hint: I’m talking about 1920 to 1933, when organized crime in the US was thriving like mad due to a similar stupid idea. This time, it won’t be any better. Keywords: Volstead Act and Cullen-Harrison Act
My history classes were how heroic the founding fathers were (nothing about how they owned slaves until college), how the civil war was about states rights, how we kicked total ass in WW2 except FDR was kind of a dictator and had too many terms, and how LBJ fucked up Vietnam and it was his fault we lost. They did offer an AP History class and it was a bit more truthful than what I had so far up to that point, but was still subject to the same school board’s oversight.
It was very “both sides had a point but the rightmost point is the correct one”.
This was in the 90s and early 2000s in rural Appalachia.
Once I got to college I was like uhhhh what? It’s crazy to me that the federal government subsidizes and provides education that is going to lead to its own downfall. Maybe we DO need to dismantle the department of Education.
Holy shit did I just red pill myself?
Joking of course. These people can’t even govern their own impulses (see Epstein and rampant pedophilia on the right).
In high school we had one year of “world” history that went something like this:
Man “appeared” in Africa
Sometime later planted corn and stuff
Egypt, Italy and China had big dynasties and stuff
Now let’s talk about the important history: Western Europe and more importantly America!!!
America is awesome - we do cool stuff and we are amazing oh yea the natives … well they were well… uh America is awesome!
WWII we kicked ass
Communism is bad
Vietnam war happened
Have a great summer kids!
It makes me wonder what the rest of the country outside my state is even learning. When I was in high school, it felt like WW2 was the ONLY history being taught in regular history class. I had to take an elective, AP, European history class just to learn something other than the American revolution, the civil war, civil rights movement, women’s sufferage, and WW2.
This was consistently for me too. I learned more world history from PC games than I did in school.
