Embarrassing RE Oppenheimer - a cautionary tale

At the request of my Engineering degreed daughter, I just bought tickets to see Oppenheimer in 70mm tomorrow night (the day before it opens nationally - one of the few perks of paying to live in LA).

You would think this is going to be a hooray hashtag Women in STEM story but unfortunately, it's a sad state of education story.

After I bought the tickets, she says to me, now who was this guy? Was he like a Nazi scientist or something?

My jaw hit the floor. Not so much that she didn't know who he was - at least she's going to attend the movie and find out, but the fact that she didn't even know whose side he was on. She does know that we stole some scientists from the Nazis but that is more space program related.

I spent a ton of dough on private girls school in Australia and on out of state tuition at the West Point of the South. I can't believe that they didn't cover the development of The Bomb in either of those settings.

Maybe it's just accepted these days that "Nukes are Bad M'Kay" and they don't even discuss the Manhattan Project in history class.

It's been a long time since I took American History in HS, or US Military History in college but I just can't believe that kids these days would not even know the particulars about how we won the War in the Pacific. Since the Pacific Theater affected Australia the most, you'd think that they would teach schoolchildren that their bacon was saved by The Yanks and their A-Bombs. Also by Yanks like my Grandfather who went to Brisbane before participating in amphibious assaults in New Guinea and The Philippines.

So I asked her why did she want to see a 3 hour long movie (runtime 180 minutes with $22 tickets) if she didn't even know who the guy was. She said she heard it was a good movie.

I sure hope it is a good movie, we'll see.

So my question for the parents out there is - What do your kids know about Robert Oppenheimer, The Manhattan Project, WWII in the Pacific?

Is this just an isolated incident or, are we in the midst of an American History Pandemic?

Politics because - our kids should being taught this at the HS and/or College level.

I’ll bet the boomers on that board went nuts after that chum that my man just tossed out there.

They were actually fairly reasonable. OP took multiple additional opportunities to crap on his daughter's education tho (that he paid for)

Also plenty of blatant (humorless) brags in there. It reminded me of a lot of gpc/kso types.

Your post also reminded me of a phog thread awhile ago. Most agreed that dropping atomic bombs on heavily populated cities was justified and necessary to end the war.

[Dugout DickStone]

ha, that guy's daughter is simply an idiot.  Sucks that he fake sent her to a fake private school abroad

I forgot to mention that I am also shocked that the fake private girl's school in Australia didn't teach the development ...by America...of the hydrogen bomb.  I am sure that when he sent his moron daughter 30 hours away to her fake school he assumed they would focus on this extremely important part of "politics"

OP was living in Australia at the time

He jokes with his friends, calling his daughter’s education “the blunder from down under” (except he doesn’t call it that bc he’s not that clever)

Until we hire someone ideologically inline with James Woods or Matt Walsh, not another f-ing dime.

I'd settle for someone along the lines of Thomas Sowell, but I'd prefer someone with that dawg in em.

Reading about this situation made me aware of this group of magas who apparently hold heavy sway with the aggy administration. They've only been around for three years.

If the Marxist took over the United States like they want to the first people will go to are the unemployed who have no job skills the ******ed and the gays

They need the strongest to row the boats for everybody the rest are worthless to them and a cost.

It's always been the Christians who have stood up for the mentally ill the special needs the babies born with defects they ******ed and they have chosen to care for them and love them push for financing

Show me in the constitution where adopting a kid is a right. You don't think we can have standards as to who should raise kids? Anyone, regardless of their actions or what they believe?

I'm pretty sure it's you that needs to look in the mirror.

bla bla bla.

after 4+ years of democrats shutting down conservative speech online and in the public space, leveling false charges and allegations, removing people's ability to earn a living, etc. your team can kiss our team's collective asses.

it is always funny how libs only call for decorum, consensus, cooperation when they are on the reciving end of things.

Will Barbie become the next Bud Light?

The new Barbie movie is super-woke. In it, Barbie literally fights The Patriarchy.

Since it's marketing campaign advertised a fun campy comedy instead of it's actual plot, it will still have a massive opening weekend as many tickets for Girls Night and Barbiheimer parties are already purchased. However, word of mouth will spread, and it's expected that ticket sales will drop significantly in the subsequent weekend.

But this thread isn't about box office sales, it's about products rebranding themselves as woke standard bearers.

2023 is the year of the woke boycott. Bud Light went from the top selling beer to non existent. Target sales have plummeted too.

Barbie has been THE girls doll for half a century. Will rebranding the doll as a 4th wave hyper-feminist icon affect sales? Will conservative parents encourage their daughters to embrace alternative dolls?

Or is feminism not as extreme as transgenderism? Will the parents who avoid tuck friendly swim suits not be bothered by feminist Barbie?

Gat dang, so much to unpack here. I don't have the stamina at the moment. Plus, it would be a useless exercise. I just want to point out that when China and Russia are "lapping us" in oppressing people, you're getting dangerously close to the truth of the matter.

It was pretty obvious that Barbie would give maga the chance to self own but would they?

Yup.  Big time.  Old dipshits can’t un-stupid
