15. Just for fun I went to the Rosa Parks Museum

and found this statement on their website

Visitors are transported through time from to the early 1800’s to the early “Jim Crow” era where they observe scenes of segregation and social and legal challenges made by individuals like Harriet Tubman, Dred Scott and Homer Plessy. Visitors also learn about the various legal challenges that helped reshape the thinking of the 20th century that discrimination and segregation were both immoral and illegal.

Someone ought to send that information to these right wing nut jobs who have it completely assbackwards when they
think Kim Davis deserves a Rosa Parks Award for wanting to enforce discrimination against a group of people.

Problem is, Kim Davis has been subjecting herself to this kind of backwards thinking at every opportunity for the last four
years when she says she's in church every time the doors are open. She's become brainwashed by hateful, misogynistic
bigots.
