Yeah I tried to call the number, been calling all day actually so i can try to get this ironed out before I go and make sure I have everything I need. All I have is my driver license and my expired license, but I'll try to dig up my social security card at least it should be somewhere and I'll look on the website for acceptable forms of ID as well. Thank you so much for your help. Edit: Yo didn't think about W2s as a secondary form of I'd so I do actually have 3 I can bring just in case.

To be safe I would have atleast 3 forms of identification including the state issued ID. It was a less than hour wait to get my childs.

Fascinating. If they weren't meeting criteria for being a non-profit it makes sense it is revoked and the community collects taxes. But the idea of a for-profit hospital concerns me.

I wouldn’t call it off the beaten path but black moshannon state park has a swim area. Use to go to it a lot as a kid.

I'm a coupla thousand miles away now, so yeah.

Just to be clear, the school mentioned in the article is a private religious school.

Chances are that Friends Central's curriculum is way, way less creepy than the article implies. And if your kids are little, obviously much of what the article described is of course not age-appropriate for them. I understand why you would have that gut reaction.

But by the time your kids are teenagers, it really is best for them to get an accurate understanding of how their body works, and how the bodies of the opposite sex work - not necessairily in the detail the article implies, but the basic topics should be covered.

Even if your kids opt not to be sexually active until marriage, perhaps some years after high school, they still need to know the basics as teens. And learning the basics in high school will prepare them for later in life when they do become sexually active.

The parents at Friends Central are paying $43,900 a year for their high schoolers to attend. If they don't like the sex ed curriculum, they can opt their kids out. Or they can withdraw their kids and have them attend any one of the many private schools in the Main Line area where Friends Central is located, or they can choose to home educate their kids, or hire a private tutor to educate them, or enroll them in one of the many public cyber-charter schools in Pennsylvania, or they can enroll them in the local public school (and save $43,900 a year!)

Private schools can only survive when they are very responsive to the concerns of parents. At $43,900 a year, they know the parents can take their money elsewhere. If the curriculum is out of line, or actually creepy, you can bet that the parents will let the admin know and the admin will take appropriate steps to keep the parents happy.

I hear the water is a bit chilly right now.

Then homeschool and keep your religious shit out of public schools. I wish you were as educated on the issue as you are afraid of things you don't understand.

They don't even charge him with attempted murder. No murder on there at all.

>felony aggravated assault, making terroristic threats, recklessly endangering another person and simple assault.

Also, the bar owner had to save the patrons from the cop:

>Police saw people leaving the building and trying to get away from the suspected shooter. When the officers made their way to the front door they found the building owner Joseph Morrison who had the suspect, later identified as Dodson, pinned to the ground and had taken the gun away from him, according to Clark.

Interesting. This has implication for other hospital systems (UPMC) if the rulings are upheld.

I, nor my fellow LGBT community members, are 'creepy shit' to learn about.

On another note, if you think by 12th grade your teenager hasn't seen more sexual nudity than a human being would ever see in their entire lifetime 100 years ago, I've a got a bridge to sell you. Proper sex education is extremely important for dozens of reasons. If you don't want your kid learning about their body, opt out. Don't take away education from other parents who do want informed children capable of safely entering the adult world.

Most of the recent sources are clickbait right wing sources jumping on the Fox bandwagon.

Not sure if this applies, but New York Times included this teacher in an article on nationally recognized sex education a year ago:

>Al Vernacchio has worked as the sexuality education coordinator at Friends’ Central School in Wynnewood, Pa., for 24 years. Messaging about sexuality comes from television, from Instagram and TikTok, from OnlyFans, from YouTube, from advertisements, he said. “Young people need to have the ability to critically examine those messages and to think about their own values and to make decisions about which of those messages they feel are really beneficial and which they want to question,” he said.

This is at a nationally recognized PRIVATE Quaker school that costs about $50k a year to attend, not some local public kindergarten.

This is what the guy was hired to teach. Are they going to start telling private schools what they can teach now too?

"Graphic penis and vulva pictures" are just high octane words for basic human anatomy illustrations -- they are allowed to teach sex ed as long as they never show what a (gasp) penis actually looks like?

Totally agree. Love going to the Handy Nasty

Body parts and functions aren't creepy. Dispelling shame around stuff that isn't shameful is appropriate.

There will be loads of Penn staters there when the weather warms up. Should be easy to find a ride.

A few things for context:

1. This is a private school.

2. The curriculum sounds relatively similar to stuff that’s taught in health classes (other than the masturbation videos).

3. It was only shown to 11th and 12th graders, who let’s be real, have likely already seen porn.

4. The whole thing is optional, requiring a parental waiver.

If you had children, you would understand why parents don’t want their children hearing this creepy shit. I wish you were as educated on the issue as you are passionate.

I wouldn't be at all surprised to find out decades from now that Pedophiles were the ones trying to ban sex education and using Fox News' stupid viewers as pawns. I mean, you can't play your secret special game with a kid who knows that it isn't a game and that you ought to be in jail and that one word of this to anyone is all it takes to make it stop.

I myself would rather be a parent of an educated kid than an easy target kid. Strange times we live in.

You might be surprised by the number of places that rely on part-time officers being paid Walmart wages. Like anyone else in that situation, it often requires holding down multiple jobs to make ends meet.

Curwensville Borough has about 2500 people. The Curwensville Borough website lists a grand total of two employees for the police department, the Chief and a School Resource Officer. Very common to see part time officers in places with a limited tax base like that.

According to the municipal budget on the website the borough budgets for the chief, one full time patrol officer, one part time patrol officer, and the school officer. The budget for the part time patrol officer is $32K, the Chief gets $56K.

Assuming that things are as the article describes (which I feel is unlikely, as the article is written rather poorly and seems designed to incite outrage rather than objectively report the facts), this is an issue best addressed by the school admin and the parents of children at the school. The parents pay a lot of money (a LOT of money - $25K a year for nursery, going up to $43,900 for the last two years of high school) for their kids to attend this school, and you can be sure that if the actual instruction is out of line with the parents' values, it will be shut down ASAP.

If, on the other hand, the article is distorting the facts, and the parents are happy with the content of the instruction, it really isn't somethat that you or I have any say in. For better or for worse, PA allows private schools, private tutors, and home educators a lot of leeway in curriculum content, so long as certain basic subjects are taught. And that's the way it should be.

Haven’t been there, I will have to check it out!
