Who said anything about book burning? Expression isn’t a right that all Americans enjoy - teachers in Florida can’t tell their students that they are anything other than straight CIS people…but freedom, amirite
You’ve missed the point - I am pointing out that being forced to hide who you are at the risk of losing your job doesn’t actually give people a choice and saying that they do is disingenuous. Criminalising someone’s identity doesn’t give people freedom to be who they are which the supposed freedom you say exists.

I don’t blame DPRK one bit for wanting to secure it’s military capabilities while the US continues to sabre rattle against China for absolutely zero reason. The bit I can’t understand is why this is bad when what the US has done historically for decades is apparently A-OK because freedom
Laws don’t apply to the rich my dude, we know this. Besides, if it were illegal to meddle with foreign states, there’s a laundry list of US administrations that would be guilty of that
I’ll probably get downvoted to hell but America’s done that for hot minute now and also evades any real criticism from the West. And yes, Russia bad and invasion bad, no question but if we’re keeping score…
You’ve missed the point - the world is moving on and cretins like the administration at BYU need to get the point. These motherfuckers don’t believe in evolution…that alone indicates they aren’t fit to educate. Fuck BYU and the LDS
