    It’s got nothing to do with me.

    The policies that regulate hair length for male students are designed to target minorities and are racist. These are facts. Picking alternate facts is not an opinion.

      These are facts.

      I’m sure it’s true in some cases, but the blanket claim that it’s the only reason is an opinion (and almost certainly an incorrect one at that). So the fact that you don’t understand the difference between a fact and a opinion has everything to do with you.

        It’s true for the case that we are discussing in the article and every other time it’s been used to punish minorities. Your argument is splitting hairs over word choice instead focusing on the content of my argument.

          Your argument is splitting hairs over word choice

          You claimed an opinion was a fact and that I was factually wrong for having a different opinion than you. It’s not “splitting hairs” to point out you have no clue what you’re talking about.

          If you recognize that you used the wrong word, say “I apologize, you’re right, I used the wrong term” and then simply rephrase your argument. Stop trying to make it my fault you said something absolutely ridiculous and I called it out
