Only for his lawyers to send the prosecutors a copy of every text message that he sent and received for the last 2 years. Haha

The last part isn't always true. When I stopped teaching, I was able to get a plan from the same insurance company with a lower premium and with a deductible that was about 20% of the deductible that teachers have.

Sounds like you learned a ton about straight sex, especially given that most sex Ed programs only tell students to abstain. You learned something about condoms, which I assume means that you learned how to put one on.

In most of the country, sex Ed is one video about puberty and then in health being told to abstain from sex to avoid pregnancy and STDs with detailed descriptions about the pain and torture of STDs.

It would be superhelpful if sex Ed programs were expanded upon your curriculum to dispel sex myths, like women can't get pregnant if they are on top or take a shower right after. It would also be good to discuss how to prevent harm during vaginal and anal sex.

I'm glad you had teachers like that. Not sure why mine were so dead-set on only reading in your grade level. Limiting lower level makes more sense, to encourage students to push themselves more. 6th grade was the last grade in the school, so the only people allowed to read the 7th grade level books were in the 6th grade Honors English class. It's not like the library would run out of books if all 6th graders were allowed to pick out of that section of the library

From how he's spoken through his campaigns until now, I wouldn't be surprised. He has a tremendous difficulty remembering the topic of a conversation and veers off wildly, often cutting off his own train of thought.

In schools, they normally have parents fill out a form giving consent to use a student's picture. There should be a way to revoke that consent.

This tenant obviously is close to having the means to owning their own home. They blew ~50% of a down payment on a house that they don't own.

The smart thing to do, would have been save the money and use that towards a house of their own.

Have you heard what they preach in church? It's long been a poison from backing slavery using the Bible to more race issues and turning people against their families and pushing people to vote certain ways.

I had to read that headline twice, at first I thought it was specifying users on ecstasy. That's such a bad name

The right has always been very organized. The church helps keep then organized. Fox News keeps them organized as they are all fed the same crap. Politically, the Tea Party helped organize the neonazis and neoconfederates, giving them a louder voice and recruited more of the like. Then the Tea Party rejoined the Republican party shoving it much further to the right. Around that time, they also figured out social media, which gave them an even louder voice.

When Obama was in office, the news wasn't as focused on them, so people that were living in Blue states weren't as aware. In the south, it was still a battlefield as you lived next to people with these beliefs.

It's their level of organization that has made the Republicans such a force to deal with. Before social media, the fringe groups stayed on the fringe of society and weren't given a voice through various forms of media. Since social media, they have a much stronger voice and we have discovered how easy it is for people to be manipulated, like with the Jade Helm scare in TX. If you don't remember this, there was a social media scare going around that Obama was going to take over TX and imprison those who didn't vote for him. The posts claimed that there were a bunch of Walmarts that had been emptied and were going to be used as makeshift prisons. The posts also claimed that Obama was hiding his plan from the public by claiming it was a training exercise named Jade Helm. So effective was the scare, that Greg Abbot (who still remains governor of TX) ordered the TX National Guard to watch the US army perform its training to prevent the army from arresting civilians. In reality, the US army was just performing practice exercises around Fort Hood, which is a little north of Austin. Years later, it was revealed that the scare was the work of a Russian troll farm experimenting with social media to see how disruptive they could be.

A lot of rural districts are going down to 4 day school days (although some are 10 hour days) in an attempt to attract teachers.

Not sure how well that is going for families, given that it's difficult to have one parent at home when the kids are home an extra day.

I wouldn't think the recognition from the public would be main reason. I figured that the biggest reason you'd want the credit is for future employers to see your name attached to a film. I would imagine they would be the ones to either sit through credits or search a credits database to see who worked on which films or worked on films recently.
