Growing up, I was an ESL student and we were taught all through school to celebrate our cultural and religious differences, I took that to heart, and I loved and cared for people of all races, religious backgrounds, sizes and socio economic levels, viewing each person as an expression of God’s love, and it made me angry when people attacked me for criticizing Trump, while they claimed to be Christian.
I too went to public schools, although not ESL as I am sort of your standard Texas born "white boy".
Seems to me this whole Trump phenomenon is INCREDIBLY divisive along lines of race and religion mostly because Trumpists have no desire to be inclusive... just live and let live and be tolerant of beliefs other than their own? Not their thing.
To be honest I don't view the self described Christians that typically follow Trump and that entire movement as genuine.
The recent decision to overturn Roe V Wade is only the beginning of their push to pass laws that criminalize living in ways that they disagree with, Justice Clarence Thomas has said that they will need to address the legality of contraception and marriage equality (interracial and sexual preference) next... for starters.
The intent is clearly to do away with the seperation of church and state, declaring Christianity as the official religion of the USA and doing away with freedom to worship according to your own beliefs. This flies in the face of everything that I was taught about what America IS and SHOULD be... it is not freedom, and that doesn't even begin to address their distaste for people of other races.
Honestly I view this movement as a threat to the American way of life, and the pursuit of bringing the reality of life here more in line with the promises made to us in the constitution.
Essentially when I look at their policy proposals and how they view government and enacting social safety net programs that help people in their day to day lives. it looks to me like they want to push this country back at least a hundred years...

yes but it wasn't what these fucking Fox News / OAN / NewsMax assholes call "Liberal Schools" or "Liberally Taught" or "Woke" bullshit these poorly educated shit. It WAS AN EDUCATION. No alliances to the Former Occupant in Chief. You had your racism taught where it always was - at the dinner table. "Mamma there is a person of color in my class who does better than anyone".. "Well son, you will bully that person. We dont need people of color in our schools.. They can go back where they came from..."
Yes. You criticized Trump, which is your right. But the one flaw with Democrats was when they dropped lower class White men in the 1960s because they weren’t “sexy” enough, they overtly left them behind AND popularized criticizing them despite their economic situation.
Nope. I am from Singapore. Our system is similar to the British system. Heck, our O level, N level and A level papers are graded at cambridge as well.
Very poorly. I re-educated myself after my social promotion "graduation".
Yes I was. I was also in ESL classes too.
