They won’t do anything to them which will teach them they can do things like that and get away with it.

Need to encourage this same challenge for the evil ones. Keep their protectors busy investigating nonsense while real threats can operate undetected. 😂😂😂

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

When the leaders of the nation are lawless election thieves who cook up phony evidence to destroy a legitimate President it’s hard to expect young people to respect anything including human lives.

They’ve been brainwashed to hate their country, hate their fellow citizens and hate themselves.

If it keeps students of those ‘classrooms’, it’s an improvement.

Dumbasses. And that’s being really kind and charitable. They should get some jail time but probably won’t.

Yes but it’s OK since they banned Trump. Mean tweets are a much greater problem than this.
