Let me see if I have this clear...

A parent, any parent, should have the power to determine what’s taught in every school and every book in that school.
Not every parent of course only the negative ones.

BUT a parent, any parent, shouldn’t be able to take their kid to a fun event like a drag show.

it changes from place to place, not just state to state. THIS is how they destroy everything we have done in the country to make it at least semi close to what we say we are.

Not only is our populace edging ever more to the uneducated knee jerkers, the crazy and stupid is what they actually want. WHO THE F**K ever knows anymore what is good or not or where it is good or not or if it will ever be sensible again?

I am saving every dime I can for my boys and granddaughter to get the hell out if it really hits the fan. I am old enough to live it out but they do not deserve this.

That’s our media. It’s no longer, “this is what we are. What we agree on” but here’s some stinking nonsense that they are going with.

the optimistic side but these days I am worn away.

I am glad my kids are out of school but my granddaughter is just getting started. They have just moved over the state line from Kansas to Missouri. I wish they had not done that but it is what it is.

I stopped watching the news shows. ALL of them. I read and even that is a bad bet on many days. Podcasts can help but nobody really knows much of anything. TFG destabilized us and they have maintained it. DU has meant a LOT more to me than ever before. ((hugs)) old friend.

have the right to know whether or not that elementary/junior high school child is working in a dangerous sweatshop job.
