Off-topic comment. I read this article, but read it in a couple different sessions due to interruptions, and had apparently clicked on to other pages. I wanted to comment about how US culture is unreasonably hard on young people (in general), and for all the US talk of freedom, is often restrictive, especially so for minors. Unfortunately, finding this article page was rather difficult. A browser addon called “What we say” had 4 links from the article back to Lemmy discussion, but they were mostly to a federated instance called “Division by zero”. So I tried the button labeled “Find in my home instance”, but it refused to work, which could be due to my own browser’s configuration (it has worked on other articles and instances). So I came back to lemmy.world, and had to scroll manually through several pages, using browser search to find the article. It’d be nice if there was a more direct method of finding a Lemmy discussion from a non-Lemmy webpage.
Russel Vought has embraced the label Christian Nationalist. It’s not a surprise they want veto power over anything that might go against doctrine.
