Fox News has a daily story to cause their audience to have fear, pearl-clutching, and rage. If it’s not a story critical of the LGBTQ+ community, it’s stories on book banning, CRT, and abortion. They seem to be more christofascist than ever before at that network. Those who cry school choice the loudest are the very same ones who are having a shit fit about this story. Quakers are more progressive than the Fox crowd, so I am certain that not many students or their parents are concerned about the class being taught.

Pittsburgh had a cop who couldn't stop shooting people and costing the city money through wrongful death lawsuits. He even left a bar completely shitfaced and pistolwhipped a random passerby and shot him over some sort of phantom disrespect, and no action was taken.

They finally got rid of him in 2021. 13 years after the incident in that story.

“and we hope the community understands this is an individual’s act and does not reflect our law enforcement men and women.” Yeah ok. We all saw what happened at Uvalde. That guy’s coworkers probably saw signs of this sort of behavior and did nothing. Go a few years without a video of a cop using excessive force and then you get to say that.

I live within earshot of 2 gun clubs. I've yet to lodge a complaint.

I lived on a farm as a kid. And live in farm country now. I only complain when driving by a sewer plant. Nothing smells as bad as human poop getting "digested."

But you remain silent about the signs. Guessing you like the mastro and dumpster fire signs....

If you move out to the rural where people have a shooting range on their property and start complaining about the noise, you're gonna have a bad time.

If you move next door to a farm and start complaining about the smell of cow shit, you're gonna have a bad time.

Moving somewhere and then telling everyone who's already there that they're doing everything wrong and they need to change to suit you is never a good look.
