I don't give a shit what these idiots think goes against their conservative Christian views. The god they worship is a terrible, petty bully who isn't worth a fucking thought let alone worship. If they want their kids to get a conservative Christian education they can send them to a private school of their choosing and pay for it out of their own pockets. Until then they can leave their worthless petty bullshit god out of education.

Probably one of the coolest moments of my life is when I was at Ft. Indiantown Gap walking from the barracks to the laundromat. A helicopter was taking off nearby and flying low and overhead, and as I looked up to watch it pass over me, there was a bald eagle flying right underneath it in the same direction.

Badass.

No worries. I’m not sure what the legal situation is like, but the reason why strikers get some legal protection is to keep strikers from doing something drastic.

Look at it the other way around—if you were gonna go on strike and knew that it could cost you everything, there would be a much wider range of actions that you would be willing to engage in.

It most certainly is not especially for biomedical science PhDs. I literally just did one. They are including tuition remission in their 40k number that Temple is touting on their website. They are giving 20k in actual take home money for their PhDs which is absurd. I made 32 by the time I finished and lived in a way cheaper city

Yeah, "they" have generations now of successfully tying socialism to a communist totalitarian dictatorship like socialism=North Korea, and then tying social programs to socialism. So, it has now basically come down to "You want free public schools for children?!?!" "Then you must want to live in North Korea you nutjob!"

I dont want to assume what "certain people" means to her or you. I just know she has the right to go against any curriculum taught to her child if she disagrees with it. If they feel it's entirely uneeded then the oarents should all come together at a school board meeting and change things. I think parents are not nearly involved enough in their child's education, the mere fact she is so adamant about it is atleast something.

You’re so close to understanding the issue here, yea Bob’s whatever the fuck shop should be able to fire whoever they want without having to worry about if they have enough insulin to live because health care should not be held over your head by your employer as leverage

Reminds me of the convo I was privy to a few years back.

Person A: "Thank GOD for Trump and getting rid of that goddamn Obama care."

Person B: "Wait, what? Aren't you on Obama care?"

Person A: "DUH, NOOOO, I'm on the affordable care act insurance!"

Person B: Stunned silence.

Gump said "stupid is as stupid does" well I guess stupid is as stupid votes? Or something like that...shrug
