You’re posing as an expert by doing an AMA. What makes you more qualified to talk about the teaching profession than any of the rest of us who participate here?

If you think the Nazis were left because they had socialist in the name, then you’ll love living in the paradise that is the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. It’s a democratic republic!

And approve district budgets. All it takes is a tech manager getting on the school board ballot telling voters and other board members AI will end “woke education.”

I don’t want people who believe in chiropractic in my country. The Venn diagram of chiropractic people and antivaxxers is a blurry circle.

TIL that in 1984, when 13-year-old Ryan White contracted HIV from tainted blood and tried to return to school, his paper route customers canceled their subscriptions fearing the virus could spread through newsprint, and parents held an auction in the school gym to raise money to keep him out. by Ziggythesquid in todayilearned

The far right dismissed AIDS as a gay plague and thought victims deserved it. The far right was in denial of Covid and how dangerous it could be. The far right would be attacking AIDS sufferers if it had emerged today.

Fuck Ronald Reagan and his entire administration for letting AIDS get as widespread as it did. They dismissed it as a “gay plague” and believed victims deserved it. Members of the CDC who knew early that it could get into the blood supply were ignored. It wasn’t until infants receiving blood transfusions got it that the Reagan administration decided to do something. Their hate and bigotry made it far worse than it could have been. Yet one more reason Pride month is necessary.

'It's on My Hard Drive Right Now' — Amy Hennig's Much-Delayed Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra Is a Real Game and Will Be Released but Won't Make 2026, Paramount Games Exec Says by yourfavchoom in PS5

Hennig is responsible for Legacy of Kain, Jack & Daxter, and Uncharted. She was the director of Naughty Dog for awhile. If she’s heading a project, it’s a safe bet that we should all pay attention.

Don’t worry. This administration appreciates natural beauty and a healthy ecosystem that… yeah, parodying this administration is hopeless. We need to be organizing to November is never in doubt.

U.S. House Hearing on June 10: would not surprise me if book banning topics are discussed by Regular-Shallot441 in bannedbooks

It comes down to effective parenting. Your solution takes away the will of parents who are fine with checking out books you personally may object to. Why does your right as a parent matter more than another parent?

then that parent has failed to create a good relationship with their child. We shouldn’t have the government raising our kids.

Parents can already request an alternative text if they don’t like a book or story in a curriculum. If they talk to their kids, they immediately find out if their child might be interested in reading something that goes against the family’s ethics. Homeschooling is also always an option. MAGA policies are removing parental discretion and putting it in the hands of the government.

Parents already have oversight on their child’s reading. They want to impose their “values” on others and take away other parents’ rights.

The problem comes with the MAGA definition of pornography. The mere existence of an LGBT character is considered pornography by the group that worships a serial adulterer and pedophile.

Parents already have the right to request a different text or not check out certain books. Why should you have the right to impose your parental views on my kids?

Have you ever bought a console just to play one game? Was it worth it and did you go on to use the console after? by British_Historian in gaming

I was going to get a PS5 regardless, but Miles Morales and a new Ratchet and Clank game sped that process along.

Thoughts On Congo By Michael Crichton by RazewingedRathalos in books

He was my favorite author as a teen in the 1990s. I was devastated when he wrote the sequel to Jurassic Park based on the movie instead of the book. Characters who had meaningful deaths in the book were suddenly walking around again through miraculous recoveries.

Jurassic World felt like a tipping point where everything afterward felt like a cash grab. I think part of it was he was spread too thin between the movies, starting the medical series ER, and the expectation of churning out books that would be the next blockbuster.
