People cheering funding cuts to NPR & PBS have never listened to it. NPR is one of the most neutral news orgs there is. It has the trait of every good news organization: it's BORING. If you're feeling strong emotions watching "the news," it's because it's entertainment, not news.

@CeraGibson People need to re-read The Lorax.

@BeckyJohnson222 @JennMGreenberg @RudeOnion Your post is just not true. I was diagnosed with HPV and it caused issues with my first pregnancy. I’ve had several tests and procedures to make sure it isn’t cancerous. Many, many women deal with cervical cancer because of HPV. Telling people it isn’t a big deal is dangerous.

@H1story_7eacher @ArtAutonomy @breakingbaht Well said.

@Acyn This is shameful. My son is Autistic and I have Autistic kids in my class every year. None of the things he said are necessarily true. Like neurotypical people, neurodivergent are individuals with different strengths and abilities. What a horrible statement from an ignorant man.

@Tictoc453678 @lymanstoneky Pretty sure they caught the man they think kidnapped her. He had a bunch of CP material and the parents were innocent.

@vicebusting @the_gurl_kai @DiabolicalSpuds When was the last time you sat in on an elementary school class? The entire fantasy around the prevalence of crazy sex focused education is a fiction that people who want to privatize schools made up to scare you. Go visit a school and see for yourself.

@SoCalRoving @biznuz_nunya @DiabolicalSpuds I’m a preK teacher and I wholeheartedly support and believe in play based, hands on learning. I understand why good parents may feel pulled towards homeschooling. In my opinion, the issue is that not every homeschooling parent is motivated by those ideals.

@SoCalRoving @mrginden @DiabolicalSpuds homeschooling as a veil for neglect.

[the teacher in room four @Elizabethprek]

@SoCalRoving @mrginden @DiabolicalSpuds it’s unreasonable or restrictive to have some sort of program in place to make sure kids aren’t slipping through the cracks. Homeschooling can look a variety of ways and provide a good education, but society has a responsibility to protect children who have parents who use

@JameyUniversal @PeteReceipts Does that invalidate what he’s saying? Most intelligent people prepare so they don’t spout inaccurate information off the cuff. Other people don’t care about facts or accuracy so they feel comfortable spewing whatever nonsense they feel will benefit them most at the time.

@BethAnne77 @MayNotBeJoking @DerrickEvans4WV Shuttering those programs will leave a vacuum that Russia or more likely China will be all too happy to fill, decreasing the power and leverage that the US has worked to create. Nothing good will come from this.

@amil I’ve been teaching preK for 19 years. You did the right thing. I’ve noticed a huge difference over the past 5-10 years in the ability for parents to set effective boundaries and stick to them. Kids need boundaries to feel secure. These parents are doing their kids a disservice.

@BlightedTruth @kning @frequency529 @placed_onto Which is why she said they take out loans.

[the teacher in room four @Elizabethprek]

@FoggyDog777 @frequency529 @placed_onto I mean, yes. The difference is the people with advanced degrees have higher chances of leaving simply because they’re going to want a job in their field and they’re in a better position to leave.

@ahhokaythen @frequency529 @placed_onto Do you have a source for those statistics? I’m not disagreeing, just curious. I wonder what those numbers look like over the last 30 years.

@Chettlar @kautzmania @placed_onto @Discourse_Stu Can you say more about it becoming a Thing? I’m not sure I’m following.
