Conceptualizing Governor Trumpkin 0

Noting the Virginia’s new Republican governor wants to ban “divisive concepts” from public schools, Jim Marchman, writing at The Roanoke Times, wonders precisely what that term encompasses. For example:

. . . . what could be more “divisive” than high school sports programs where neighboring communities are driven to passionate rivalries as their teams struggle with each other on playing fields or arenas?

Afterthought:

Of course, Marchman purposely misses the point to make his point.

As Paul Krugman pointed out (see below), a “divisive concept” is nothing more than one which makes Governor Trumpkin and his dupes, symps, and fellow travelers feel uncomfortable.
