Crackle is owned by Sony and ad-supported, I assume that the bot just saw the word “free” all over the website and assumed that made it "relatede enough to piracy to place on the list.

Maybe astroturfing, but most likely just people trying to be morally superior to one another.

I’ve used them for about a year, so far no complaints. High speed, high privacy, only a couple things have required me to turn off my vpn to access them.

AFAIK the ruling about serving same sex couples specifically relates to “compelled speech”, which means it definitely doesn’t apply in this context and Amazon is hoping that right wing courts will expand the ruling (they might).

This is something I’ve thought was true for a while, but your comment made me go back and look for decent sources and while I found a few articles bemoaning tech in schools I also found a lot of good-looking scientific studies saying that it’s fine or even beneficial, so I deleted my comment.

AFAIK now, the negative outcomes are when it’s home schooling or COVID-era distance learning and the kid is only doing work on an ipad, so the problem isn’t the tech itself it’s the absence of a structured school environment with a teacher.

banning cultural appropriation

Everybody has limits set on their behavior in society generally, and in schools those limits are often more strict. I also object to the notion that enforced dress on a gendered basis is a “harmless or innocuous” practice.

I worded it poorly, but my point was that France’s enforcement of a dress code is far less extreme than the cultural intervention in Xinjiang. Furthermore I think that all of the people in this thread who’ve compared it to Native American residential schooling are themselves engaging in genocide denial by way of minimization.

wear shoes and shirt

wear dress that is explicitly designed to dehumanize you

these are the same thing

any visible deviations from the dominant (liberal Christian) culture.

This is an impasse. You look at French culture and see a liberal Christian one, I see a liberal secular one. When Christianity infects schools you don’t get dress codes you get much more overt and disgusting propagandizing, like what’s being pushed in Florida right now.

The kids aren’t being made to attend church on Sunday. They’re being made to be part of a secular society, one that takes its secularism more seriously than many other countries do.

Presumably if a bunch of Mormons or Mennonites or whatever else set up in France and all their kids dressed the same way, the school would step in on that too. Maybe they wouldn’t, but then the problem isn’t the policy it’s biased enforcement.

Are kids meaningfully capable of exercising their freedom of conscience though? I’m not suggesting that every religious parent would kick their children out of the house for not dressing a certain way, but I am saying that every religious parent puts their finger on the scale of their kids’ decision. Schools can and should seek to eliminate these kinds of cultural differences within the student body because it teaches kids to segregate themselves, that’s why school uniforms are generally a good thing.

I would argue that indoctrinating a child into wearing religious dress is a violation of that child’s human rights and that they should be protected from it by the state.

tbf to France I’m pretty sure that if girls showed up in nun habits they would be sent home too. They make you take off visible jewelry if it has a cross on it AFAIK.
