🚨#BREAKING: Outrage is erupting after a 22-year-old who runs into BURNING BUILDINGS as a volunteer firefighter was told he isn't qualified to be a paid firefighter...

...because he was HOMESCHOOLED.

Then the city changed the job posting to cover it up.

His name is Andrew Coates. He's 22 years old, in Nebraska.

Right now, today, he runs into burning buildings as a volunteer firefighter for Cedar Bluffs Fire. He is a state-licensed EMT.

He is doing the job. For free.

All he wanted was to get PAID to do it. In his words: "Make a career out of it would be the goal. To get paid to do what you love."

So he applied to the Fremont Fire Department.

And in April, the city rejected him. Why?

Because his high school diploma says he was homeschooled.

That's it. That's the whole disqualification.

Not his EMT license.
Not his fitness.
Not his record.
Not his experience pulling people out of fires ALREADY!!

...how he was educated.

The job posting he applied to said "graduation from high school."

That's all it said.
He graduated high school.
He has a diploma.

And AFTER they rejected him, the city went back and added the word "accredited" to the job description.

His own fire chief, the man who has watched Andrew work, showed up to defend him:

"I feel the city of Fremont is really missing out here, and in my mind, because of his homeschooling, you guys are discriminating against him."

Over THIRTY homeschool families showed up to stand behind this kid.

And the Civil Service Commission? They said it isn't their job to touch city policy.

Homeschoolers are literally a generation of kids who read ABOVE grade level, who work with their HANDS, who volunteer in their communities, who show up for their neighbors.

And this young man is the proof.

At 22, he's a certified EMT and a volunteer firefighter, while plenty of his peers are on a couch.

When your house is on fire at 3 a.m., I promise you will not ask the man dragging your children out where he went to high school.

You will not ask if his diploma was accredited.

You will thank GOD he came.

Andrew isn't even fighting for himself anymore. His words:

"I think now it's turned into we want to make sure that every homeschooler has an equal opportunity."

That's a better man than the policy that rejected him.

Fremont, you have a licensed EMT and an active firefighter begging to serve your city. And you turned him down over paperwork, then rewrote the paperwork to cover it.

Fix this.

Hire him!!!!!!!

BREAKING: First Lady Melania Trump DOG WALKS Jimmy Kimmel, blasting him as a ‘coward’ and demanding ABC fire him after he joked about President Trump being ass*ssinated in a WHCD skit, stating: “Mrs. Trump, you have a glow like an expectant widow.”

FLOTUS wrote on 𝕏: “Kimmel’s hateful and violent rhetoric is intended to divide our country. His monologue about my family isn’t comedy- his words are corrosive and deepens the political sickness within America.

People like Kimmel shouldn’t have the opportunity to enter our homes each evening to spread hate.

A coward, Kimmel hides behind ABC because he knows the network will keep running cover to protect him.

Enough is enough.  It is time for ABC to take a stand.  How many times will ABC’s leadership enable Kimmel’s atrocious behavior at the expense of our community.”

This is Erika Kirk’s full eulogy for Charlie. It’ll leave you with chills. She has Charlie’s heart and ability to connect with everyone on a personal level where it doesn’t seem like there’s a stadium of people around. Almost no one could meet this moment. She absolutely did. ❤️

Democrats are the only group on the planet that can gun down an innocent man, celebrate his death, mock his wife, destroy memorials for him, lie about who killed him and somehow STILL make themselves the victims.

[Benny Johnson @bennyjohnson]

Everybody stop what you’re doing and watch this.

Greg Gutfeld just shut down liberals who are portraying Jimmy Kimmel as the victim and melting down over his suspension for lying about Charlie Kirk’s assassination.

“It's great, even in death, Charlie keeps winning debates.”

“You know, the media, this is what's disgusting. Just look at the reaction. The media is trying to make Jimmy Kimmel into their Charlie Kirk. But as if like getting fired is the same as getting fired upon.”

“The decades of brainwash that created justification for violence and for murder. Sorry guys, he's not a victim. The victim is Charlie Kirk. The victims are his family.”

“I don't shed any tears for a lefty millionaire who can still go home and see his kids. Your side got thousands of conservatives thrown off social media.”

I am not afraid to proclaim the truths of the Bible:

• Abortion is murder.
• Homosexuality is sin.
• We’re either male or female, and this can’t be changed.
• Christianity is true; all other religions are false.
• Hell is real.
• Jesus is the only way to Heaven.

Charlie was brilliant, I’ll be doing this from now on as well.

@GitRDoneLarry This kid needs some NIL money and hopefully his family can get to some games. Looking forward to cheering him on this season!

Must read book for all parents

Screens are causing a massive increase in kid's mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression & suicide attempts

They are also causing impaired social skills, destroying attention spans, and messing up kid's sleep

Screens are literally re-wiring kid's brains. This is why prevention is so important.

Delay screen exposure.
Delay giving kids a smart phone.
Delay allowing kids on social media.

Give kids the gift of a screen-free childhood.

David waited 12 years.
Joseph waited 13 years.
Abraham waited 25 years.
Moses waited 40 years.
Jesus waited 30 years.

If God is making you wait for something, you're in pretty good company.
