When I was a kid my teachers would have all aced this test. So would all of the graduates. Now, seniors in high school can barely read, and can’t add and subtract without the calculator on their phone. The teachers think boys and girls are the same. I like the old school world better.

“…MAGA-aligned talking points on gender, religious liberty, and parents’ rights.”

Truth versus untruths. Who but the liars could object to that?
