Dr. Kevin Kumashiro recently published a report on Christian Nationalism in education. If you want to know why the federal government is now seeking to dismantle the education system, you need to read this report.

I highly recommend it:

The U.S. education system owns some responsibility for why we have the current president. I’ve heard a lot of people say something like that, but they mean something different than I do.

The Declaration of Independence list grievances that the signers had with the king of England. Do you recall that one reason they gave for their rebellion was the king’s refusal to allow immigration, as well as his creation of barriers to immigration?

The biggest source of mis/disinformation in the U.S? According to Grok AI (Elon Musk's AI company), it's a tossup among Musk, Alex Jones, or the current president. Even Musk's own AI bot knows how untruthful he is. Here's a link to my conversation with Grok AI:

I added this 1-star review to Google's labeling of the Gulf of Mexico:

The appropriate and internationally recognized title is the "GULF OF MEXICO." Please correct.

What if other Google users wrote a similar review and then posted it?

For the first time since the '50s and '60s, I'm fearful of going to TX, AZ, & FL starting next year. I read news of planned detention camps, deputized posses, & troops rounding up brown-skin people like me. I'm reminded of my father's stories of Southern night riders who terrorized with impunity.

One of my favorite tools at work. In the PNW rain season (September through August), it's wet enough to use this to kill weeds in the driveway without risk of fire. The flame burns the top and boils the root, and I get to hear the roar as it works. Very satisfying! bobhughes.info/pics/burning...

An experienced education manager who previously ran the WWE. Talk about bringing new perspective to government. It’s the end of bake sales where principals can mud wrestle to see which school gets most funding. Teachers can teach lessons that extol true heroes (think Abe Lincoln in spandex).
