In my 28 years of experience as a dad I have observed some things that seem to be common in most parent-child relationships. Kids are very rapt observers of their parent’s behavior. They know their parent’s biases, their disdains, their judgement or acceptance of others pretty well. They know what ...

If you were an "informed parent" you would know about your kid's orientation questions before the school counselor. No. Yes No. We can do this ad infinitum. After 20 plus years of working with kids and families, I can tell you definitively that not all kids communicate well with their par...

Kids are their own living entity and should not be required to tell their parents everything. If they want you to know about something, they will tell you. It is not your right to know everything about them. It is not in the Constitution as some unassailable right as a US citizen. They are not your...

Meh. I'd be curious about the definition of "far right". Is it really unreasonable not to want grade school kids to be taught about intersectionality, or even sexuality in general, without their parents' permission? I don't have a problem with schools wanting to address the issues, but I ...

The teacher's union may be the only thing keeping education functional in the midst of constant attacks by Mothers for Fascism and other Christian Nationalists with axes to grind. Define "functional," 'cause if it means proficiency in reading, writing, and mathematics, then it is not even...

If my kid thinks he or she might be trans, I damn well better know about it, especially if some counselor I don't even know is calling them by a name different than the one I gave them and talking to them about transitioning their sex. That's not "far right" in my book, it's just being an...

the teachers union needs to stay in their lane. reading. riting. rithmatic. that is all we need from you. i will do the rest. the teachers union is the biggest villian to come out of these last 4 or 5 years. But you won't do it correctly. You're not educated enough to understand the intersection of...

And yet. https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/november-8-2023 Meh. I'd be curious about the definition of "far right". Is it really unreasonable not to want grade school kids to be taught about intersectionality, or even sexuality in general, without their parents' permission? I do...

It's just 2023, it probably means nothing. "We have more people. That's a huge part." Jane Cramer, a mother from Bucks County, Pennsylvania, explained to Salon earlier this year that she felt good about the ragtag team she'd helped assemble to boot Moms for Liberty, the well-funded conser...

Nikki Haley says he's scum. He is scum. Bringing her daughter and her using TikTok in to the debate or not. I listened to him interviewed after the debate. He had some semi valid points until he pulled his typical Ramaswamy trying to be a "know it all" (his words about himself - not mine)...

I do not believe that there are no GOP politicians who have no interest in doing anything positive for people. I didn't agree with many of the policies of people like Liz Cheney or Mitt Romney but I did believe they were trying to serve their constituents the way they felt they wanted them to. They...

What’s lost in all of this is that we’re here because one side has no interest or intent whatsoever in doing anything positive for the people. And, the Family Values (TM) Party has hitched its future to a convicted/confessed sexual assailant and the Law and Order (TM) Wing to a traitor and insurrec...

Plus, he hadn't practiced at all during the week. So, there's that . . .

Suddenly he trusts polling (cough, cough) I trust my eyes and ears. The polling is incidental. Kind of like it was in 2016. The election is a year from now and there are lots of events and court cases between now and then. We'll see how the next few months go. Would I like a different Dem option? Y...

He'd have to be in the same state as the rest of the team for that to happen.

Exactly. And actually taking reps in practice.

Beetlejuice is having a hard time figuring out how to play defense at this level. Hope he learns sooner rather than later.
