Quote:A lot of you disregard what ex wives say so what's the point?

 

The point is to acknowledge the truth and follow the preponderance of the evidence.

<p class="" style="font-size:26px;">This is why you don't take the word of estranged exes seeking leverage in divorce proceedings as gospel.


 

<p class="" style="color:rgb(17,17,17);font-family:Georgia, serif;font-size:medium;margin-left:40px;">The director didn’t interpret the question as anti-Semitic. “I think the context was different from what I’ve read in the papers,” she said. “The school doesn’t celebrate holidays — we celebrate all holidays and no holidays, so we don’t have costumes at Halloween, but when a holiday comes up, we talk about it, and there are books in classrooms, and they put them away for the next holiday. So I thought he was referring to, <em>How come you say you don’t celebrate holidays? There were all these books about Hanukkah.”</em>

<p class="" style="color:rgb(17,17,17);font-family:Georgia, serif;font-size:medium;margin-left:40px;">So from Piccard’s point of view, then, the Hannukah question was a signal of Bannon’s anti-Semitism, of his desire to not have his daughters in too Jewish a school environment. From the director’s point of view, it was an anodyne question about whether and to what extent the school was truly secular.

 

Since things seemingly need to be clearly spelled out here:

<div>not likely to provoke dissent or offense; inoffensive, often deliberately so.

Moral of the story:

 

Trust, but verify.

 

Words our last truly great President lived by.

 

Looks like that's what Bannon was doing.  You should, too in seeking the truth.

 

I asked similar questions about religion in our preschool (which was sponsored by a church that was not my own,) and about books in DCPS elementary that covered a particular religion that's been in the news lately as well.  It's a parent's responsibility to know.  I wanted to know in advance what my children were being exposed to in case they had any questions so as parents we were prepared to discuss them, just as any responsible parent would.  We could have opted out, we opted in.
