[quote:Zedakah:MV8yMDYyOTkyXzM0NzA1OTI4XzI0NTAwMTZF] [quote:Phennommennonn:MV8yMDYyOTkyXzM0NzA1ODc0XzUxNTNEMzM3] when i was in school, we were taught how communist countries enslaved, impoverished and killed their citizens. [/quote] I had to read the communist manifesto and write essays on the pros and cons, why it failed, and why it led to slavery and murder. I went to a private school, followed by a private university. But now after being done with school for a while, I'm returning to a public university to pursue a PhD, and I have to say these kids have zero knowledge of history or critical thinking skills (and I'm in the sciences). I don't even think these kids know who wrote the communist manifesto, much less any history surrounding the events of communist countries. But they sure know all the "evils" of capitalism, and the horrible injustice of keeping what you earn. [/quote]
Original Message
A Nevada legislative panel has decided it's high time to repeal a state law that allows job discrimination against communists.
The 12-member Legislative Commission unanimously decided this week to introduce a bill at the 2013 session that would repeal a law that was passed in 1951 during the anti-communist fervor of the Cold War.
The law allows employers to reject job applications from communists and their sympathizers, and to fire any communists in their workforce.
