    Did anyone know Library of Congress has large collection of antique flutes? Including crystal flute given by France to Madison when he became president. I sure didn't.
    Lizzo is classically trained flautist. She was invited to play the crystal flute, which has never been actually played.
    A minor but interesting story, yes?
    Right wing heads exploded. It's an attack on America. Deliberately creating controversy. Right wing pundits who a week ago neither knew nor cared about collection of flutes are OUTRAGED.
    Because a Black woman played a historic flute. Like Dr. Seuss and Potato Head and Black mermaid, this is an all out assault on everything real Americans believe in.
    The greatest threat to our nation since President Obama wore a tan suit.

    Hadn't heard about the Lizzo flute thing, so I did some poking around. Found this that made me chuckle.

    And what the fuck is the problem here, aside from the snowflakey faux outrage by the fascist party?

    But this is the "rock bottom" thread. Not sure someone playing a flute is anything comparable to "rock bottom". Like, should I be expecting a flute band on every corner? A flutocalypse? People will care about music again? Feel free to fill me in.

    The reaction from the far right was the rock bottom, so it fits.

    2000 public school students in Louisiana were bused to what they and their parents were told would be a career information fair.

    Instead they were taken to evangelical assembly for a day of proselytizing. At taxpayer expense. The students were separated by gender assigned at birth. The sole transgender student was told he could not sit with the other boys.

    They were subjected to a full day of misogyny and homophobia.

    The boys were taken outside, on a hot day, and made to do pushups. The girls were lectured that, if they were raped, they had the duty to forgive the rapist.
    And if pregnant, carry his ejaculate.

    Any students and parents were angry at having been lied to and forced to sit through something they had not chosen to attend.

    But, did anyone play a flute? That's the real important part.

    This is a good example of why the seperation of church and state needs to stand. There is only one religion that is trying to take over everything. You don't see any other religion trying to push themselves on everyone here in the US accept one and it's so unnecessary. Christianity is being abused and injected into politics and school. And that fucking sucks. There are some great Christian people out there too.

    This is an abuse of a religion. There is a difference between trying to spread the word to save people, and forcing it on people and using it to take people's rights away. That's wrong no matter how you look at it. And, it's unnecessary.

    I'm down with Christianity. I'm down with Judaism, Islam, buddhism, Hinduism, Rastafari, etc. Spirituality is great, let those who seek it find it where they may. That's what this country was supposed to be about. Freedom to practice or not practice whatever religion you want.
