Eleven-year-old Samuel Henderson, of Choctaw, OK, wanted to compete in a school talent show, but no student from special education had ever participated.
His talent earned him respect, admiration, & friendship.
Moral of the story? Be kind & open. Hidden talents lie within us all.

The Dyslexia "miracle school" is no model for the masses
Why phonics - though no panacea - is still the best bet for disadvantaged children

People with glasses and contacts have to realize that we have a disability that just happens to be highly accommodated for in modern society and that accommodation is the only reason why poor eyesight is not considered a disability.

On International Women’s Day, we celebrate generations of trailblazing women throughout history and recommit to defending the freedom of every woman to make her own choices and shape her own life — a freedom that continues to be undermined. So we fight on.

This would have threatened thousands of jobs and innovation across NC.
It was a reminder that part of this job is being a shield against unlawful federal acts that would undercut our economy and hurt our future.
For the good of our state, that shield should remain in place.

This sudden freeze in federal funding is so sweeping that it could cause widespread harm across our state—delaying disaster recovery, undercutting law enforcement, and affecting children and veterans. It violates constitutional power over federal spending, and I’m taking legal action to stop it.

I need someone to explain to me why it’s always “if you can’t pay rent, buy fewer lattes and avocado toasts” and not “if you can’t pay your employees a living wage, buy fewer yachts and real estate”.
