And another good point in this reply to that last thread.

[Shannon McFate @smmcfate]

This is a VERY well-written thread on this topic!

I’d like to speak to Evangelicals.

If you are like me, you’ve spent most of your life being told that you have to vote Republican to be a good Christian.

I understand if your convictions prevent you from voting for a Democrat. But let me suggest something: 1/10

@jenniferlagarde Even though it seems crazy enough to actually be TRUE, I'm gonna say #1, the Kentucky meme ban. #InformationLiteracy

@jenniferlagarde The Poet X by @acevedowrites
Nightbooks by @jawhitebooks

[Shannon McFate @smmcfate]

@christiemegill @jawhitebooks Actually, it's already out! I forgot how long ago I'd learned about it. 😅

[Shannon McFate @smmcfate]

@christiemegill Has he read #Nightbooks by @jawhitebooks? If so, he'll be glad to know there's a sequel coming soon! #Gravebooks #ScaryStories

[Shannon McFate @smmcfate]

@JustinParmenter Any chance that the plan includes anything that actually DOES benefit teachers? Like, oh, increased school funding/salaries or decreased class sizes?

[The Modest Teacher @ModestTeacher]

Teachers dont want less work, they want more support.

@abmack33 Absolutely! It looks great on you, and it would add something extra special to your parents' day. 🙂

And I agree with everyone who suggested dry cleaning away the 1973 smell.

Definitely not the only one to think @xavierpughh just got better all season! #HardWorkPaysOff #StudentAthlete

Xavier Pugh of Millbrook High School in Raleigh has been overshadowed a bit on offense this season. The two-way athlete will play a key role as the Wildcats face New Bern in the East regional final. https://t.co/EMIIlmSy5i

[Shannon McFate @smmcfate]

@DeionSanders, #CoachPrime, heard you talk about out-scouting the opposition. Might want to take a look at this kid coming outta Raleigh, NC! He just kept getting better as the season progressed. #ShowOut

@KateMessner FYI: Based upon stories from my uncle who was in the navy (I'm thinking in the 70s?) the "crossing the line" initiation tradition isn't THAT outdated, actually.

@nerdwmn4life Elementary education.

Game plan even before starting that was to be a school librarian, though I didn't know at first that elementary was NOT going to be where I fit best! #MiddleSchool #HighSchool

I’ve been researching book bans for months now. Counting things, analyzing the board meetings. Examining the books folks want removed from school libraries across the country. You might call me a book ban expert.

That's my nephew shining bright under the #FridayNightLights! 🤩 Oh, and this was his SECOND week in a row with 4 #Touchdowns! #SeniorYear #RunningBack #HighSchoolFootball #FirstHalf #TakeItToTheHouse

[Kacy Hintz @KacyHintz]

You heard the man, FOUR touchdowns in the FIRST HALF!

Xavier Pugh lights up the Garner defense leading Millbrook to a 48-7 win @HighSchoolOT @xavierpughh

[Shannon McFate @smmcfate]

@KacyHintz @xavierpughh @HighSchoolOT SO proud of this boy!!

Any chance you have @xavierpughh's yardage stat?

[Shannon McFate @smmcfate]

@LRSchultzMLIS No joke, I was JUST talking about this with my sister! She & my BIL have a 4 mo old & we were discussing possible shows my niece might end up watching. I mentioned Bluey as a really positive show, but slightly unrealistic in the amount of time & attention Mum & Dad give. 😄😄
