Dept of Edu aims to reclassify degrees in women dominated fields of nursing, social work, physician assistant, therapists, midwifery, education, counseling, and health administration to nonprofessional status. These jobs are also mandated reporters, responsible for protecting children. Coincidence?

Thank you, Representative Underwood 🙏
Just met with Admiral Lunday about this and the policy will be changing. He committed to publishing an updated version later tonight. Displays of hate have no place in our armed services.

U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas, nooses as hate symbols
The military service, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, has drafted a new policy that classifies such items “potentially divisive.”

if you have a few spare coins, a local family could really use your help
My neighbors just up the street from us own A-squared pizza in Charlottesville, and their youngest was recently diagnosed with leukemia.
Their family is really nice, and this is a huge bummer right before the holidays. A GoFundMe has been set up for the family to help with everything.
