| ^^^ I don't have a problem with people making a living by running a business of some kind, or even making an extra profit from it, and I don't believe the elected leaders of California do, either. My problem is with unrestrained, unregulated capitalism, in which business people can pay their employ... |

| ChaosCascade- Other than that New Orleans cabal (that included some homosexuals) that might have led to JFK's death, I'd think you'd be pretty lonely on the far right as a gay American. I absolutely detest socialists; America doesn't need socialist politicians. I'm anti socialist because I support ... |

Nice, I'm sure she feels validated. I hope she's at least reinstated to her previous job level and back paid the difference in salary. As well as compensated for her suffering. Sexuality, either way (straight or LGBTQ) shouldn't factor positively or negatively.  |

| Moving away is not an option for a lot of people, so no, it’s not “easy peasy.” Also, kids deserve a quality education no matter where they live. That would be even less likely to happen for many children without federal involvement. Certain states are pushing for religious indoctrination in school... |

| The counselor was expected to do her job using evidence-based practices, and she did. That’s not to say that counselors never make mistakes or are always good at their job, but as was already stated, that says nothing about the DOE or even the school district in most cases. Agree with this part... ... |

| Thanks for minimizing my granddaughter's experience. I bet if she had been shut down by the counselor for something she didn't like, rather than encouraged by the counselor to be something she also was, you would be much more outraged. My granddaughter doesn't consider that year to be something tha... |

| , But don't tell them that you think they're gay (the counselor was also gay) just because they're having a bad day. This was our experience. Our granddaughter with the "guidance" (grooming?) of the school counselor, came out as "gay" in the 8th grade. We said nothing contrary, ... |

| Yay! It will be great to see the focus on core subjects return. Until such time parents are wise to home school, if their finances permit. Contrary to claims made by the Gates Foundation, Math is not racist, Math is what you put into it. If it's not a priority, that isn't racist. As it stands right ... |

| The truth is, the Democratic party could have put forth a better candidate. Joe Biden was not guaranteed a second term, and if they had done what they were supposed to do (allow the people to vote), they might have ended up with a candidate that would have united the country (someone like RFK Jr.). ... |

If most of the militants are killed and most of the underground tunnels destroyed though, then their strength and advantages are still weakened. Weakened for now. They will rebuild. This ... |
