People likely voted for not repealing the provision allowing involuntary servitude as a punishment for crime and not for keeping slavery.
Whoever thought combining those two things in one vote was a good idea is an idiot
...what other slavery currently exists (legally) that this would have addressed? This isn't combining two things. Barring slavery in any form includes punitive servitude. Calling them separate issues is like calling "we should fix this leak" a separate concern from "this pipe should not have any leaks".
Yes, those are two different things that should be addressed separately.
One is emergency plumbing, the other is maintenance.
Man dirk, I'm embarrassed for you and your family 🤦
I'm more embarrassed for the teachers who seem to have failed them.
$10 says the teachers tried. Getting blood out of a rock is hard, never mind getting imagination into one.
Fair point.
