Boy, 12, dares to speak up for President Trump in class. Teacher asks student why he supports 'a racist and a pedophile.' Bad idea.

TUSD (Tucson Unified School District, AZ) is now promoting STEAM. Science, Technology, Engineering, ART and Math.

I did a quick search and this appears to be a nation wide phenomenon.

Which is fine, I guess, but look at the schools they’re sticking those labels on. There was one mentioned in the news a month ago that had a 50% graduation rate.

That’s interesting; in my area some parents were looking at Catholic schools just because some were opening with live instruction while the unionized public school teachers basically refused to return to the classroom.

In defense of those public school teachers, our governor is maintaining that wasn’t safe to enter restaurants until the weekend before school started - go figure!

[Labyrinthos]

That is true also In my area in suburban NYC, most if not all of the Catholic schools have live instruction, at least in a hybrid format.

I’m a dozen miles west of Manhattan in NJ (between Newark and Jersey City); this lockdown has crushed the area economically. It appears people just lifted it on their own in terms of work; long before anything was officially lifted, more and more cars were gone each morning on my street - people were clearly going back to work. They didn’t have the “employment for life” protections of gubmint workers, and the Paycheck Protection Program money could only last so long for their employers (if they even got any).

It’s astounding to me that anyone who wants to work for a living could vote for any given Democrat, given the Dems have an all lockdown all the time policy.

[kearnyirish2]

I can see why the gubmint workers vote Democrat; they make a lot of money and don’t have to do much during this virus. Private sector workers in those situations have either been furloughed or outright laid off.

Sure. That why I said “want to work”. Currently, many government workers are not very different from welfare leeches - they aren’t actually working. For some, this is a feature, not a bug. But for people who actually believe in the job, and are being prevented from doing their jobs, these lockdowns have got to be infuriating. It’s not very different from the situation of conscientious cops who believe in collaring criminals, but are being held back from enforcing the law.

[kearnyirish2]

Sure; that makes sense. The whole “de-policing” thing has been going on in NJ cities for years before this, so it is nothing new; people become cops there because they don’t risk much.
