Good Morning,
Please RT this if you can. I am a fit parent, but a widow. I recently lost a case against a grandparent based on VA code 20-124.2 (B2). The new law overrides my decision making ability as a fit parent. #civilrights#Virginia
Fun Fact: Tim Walz could serve two full terms as VP, then two full terms as president, and when he leaves office, he would STILL be younger than Donald Trump is right now.
@GandhiAOC @PicturesFoIder Was the interviewer reaction because he thought $1000 was not enough or too much? Having her stay home to take care of your kid, clean your house, buy your groceries and make you’re meals for only $1000 a month is as good as the deal gets.
I overheard a friend tell his mom today.
"If your state ranks 47th in education, maybe you should require schools to post the ABCs instead of the 10 commandments."
My history may be a little foggy on this, but didn’t the people who founded this country come here to escape a place where religious zealots were in control of everything?
It takes a great deal of arrogance to live in the U.S. with over 200 different sects of Christianity, all with their own unique theology, yet insist that only your sect has the authority to speak, not only for all Christians, but for all people in our country as well.
Imagine not wanting the government to infringe on your freedoms as a Christian while simultaneously working to have the government infringe on the freedoms of others in the name of Christianity and refusing to see this as a contradiction.
If your version of Christianity wants to put the Ten Commandments in schools but take free lunch out of them, you are worshipping something other than Jesus.
BREAKING: We’re suing Louisiana for requiring all public schools to display the Ten Commandments in every classroom.
Public schools are not Sunday schools.
@heymrsbond If my daughter's future teachers know more than I do, or she feels she can't talk to me, then that's a bigger issue than what pronouns she's using.
It reveals something deeply disturbing about our Christianity when we demand the government enforce the most literal and harsh interpretations of the few Bible verses about human sexuality, yet oppose the government carrying out any of the +3,000 verses about caring for the poor.
@melbrethour Omg - they’ve become caricatures of themselves.
“It’s either the effective way or the fun way - you can’t have both.”
Meanwhile, they prove over & over & over again that what they offer is neither effective nor fun.
I'm shocked by this quote...are you working with students? Seeing students lift words off the page, excited because they can decode, is magical. Phonics does not destroy their love of books and it is not boring. You can't enjoy reading if you can't read!
