As we all know, even if someone reflects all of our values, we cannot vote for them if there exists even a chance that she might have lied about why she lost a job 50 years ago.

Excuse me, it was 48 years ago. The statute of limitations is not up yet.

Theres laws against this now, but these laws came around because people were abusing pregnant women like this lol.

The short answer is, you think her former boss is going to write down, under reason for resigning/firing, "terminated for pregnancy"? That's not how people discriminate against women lol.

Theres also a news story explaining how even after laws were changed people still discriminated against pregnant women for awhile before people started speaking up more. I cant find it but I'm looking lol

Well the principal at the time died in '99 and I guess there wasn't really a need to tell the story sooner?

It's not even hard to understand. No one wants to pay a pregnant woman their salary when their out of commission for so long lol. But that's scummy as fuck and we made laws about it. It was a different time back then, they let you get away with these things haha.

It's trivially easy to believe she making shit up for appeal to voters when running for president too, since she has a history of that sort of thing

[Tokitoki]

The other argument about not talking about it sooner was Congress passed a law in '74 that made this illegal, but it was hard to enforce due to the way school policies were written.

So even if we're talking about it after she became a lawyer, there was already some action trying to prevent this exact thing from happening.

It's interesting the discourse has changed to..

[Salodin]

The discourse changed so fast I caught it after it had changed. I was not born in it, molded by it. I had tasted fresh air for decades before I saw this shit.

I mean, if the quote in that tweet is directly from the interview, she doesn't even discuss how she came to not be a teacher anymore. There's really no argument to be made the story changed because she didn't tell the story at all.

It was:

I taught for a year, but after that year I needed to get more classes done to not be on an emergency certificate, I was super pregnant, and my husband wanted me home with the baby.

That's not an unreasonable statement and it doesn't touch on the circumstances of the firing/resignation like some of the articles are trying to imply.

But whatever, people will believe what they want to believe, and this was honestly more effort than I was initially going to put into this.

[Zealot]

If she's willing to lie to be more relatable to voters, how do we know she won't lie about working with foreign powers to influence the election or using her position to make millions from lobbyist groups at all her properties?
