    Believe that the main issue is that's all we hear, we don't hear about schools or towns just living their best lives, with hardly any issues. Because it does not sell.

    Everyone has an agenda and its called politics.

    Sway voters and line the pockets of the politicians..

    Not sure either side really cares all that much about we the people anymore... Just their damn agenda!

    That seems to be the problem you have connecting the dots with. There’s no doubt schools are moving along in a healthy manner. But, There needs to be a parental presence to keep the filth from moving in on that school. I’ve already stated this with you but you seem to have one finger in your ear.

    Want an indication of what's to come..look at local adds for school employment needs for next year. That will tell you all you need to know one way or the other.....I see Rochester/ Buffalo is moving areas 40 miles south. The county seat has one of the bigger State teaching schools where do you think the majority has always come from in their admissions...down state towards NYC and big cities.
    I know, I grew up, lived, worked in the town. More over hubby did several builds and rehabs to the college over the last few decades.
    Some people live in bubbles and over time the view from inside gets cloudier and cloudier. Then they just stop trying to see the clear picture on the other side

    That is just a fraction of what is out there, so am I going to get all worked up because some parents used their kid for their agenda to wear a shirt that would stir the pot, no I am not. In the scope of what is really happening to our kids in this world today, it's pretty minor compared to what the kids above went through in the links I posted.

    So yes I am going to wear my Nikes from the sweatshops while Sota points it out on his phone or computer made in sweatshops.

    How many of you here actually know what is going on in a school that you don't hear from a news outlet left or right-wing?

    An example is the Furies remember that one, completely false made up, but it was all over the news for a bit. Schools are putting kitty litter in the bathrooms, there was outrage and it never happen.
    https://www.snopes.com/news/2023/01/30/how-furries-got-swept-up-in-anti-trans-litter-box-rumors/

    Me not connecting the dots, I am married to a school teacher, and for a lot of her career in special ed, she works in a large district. Yeah, there is some nutting stuff that goes on, but the majority of it is kids with parents who don't care.

    If you don't like your school for your kid, join the board, get involved, or do what we did. I did not like what the district had to offer for my daughter, so I sent her to a private school. At 12,000+ a year that meant sacrifices had to be made. My wife and I did so. Or home school.

    I am not proud and brag about owning seatshop products, you seem to enjoy the fact that exploited children made your shoes.

    There’s another option. You can stand your ground and stand up for what is right. You don’t always have to tuck your tail and run. Seems that what’s encouraged these days and that’s what that side of the fence wants.

    Yet again what does any of your post have to do with the statement that schools are living their best lives and me stating that those best lives will be changed when you ignore the cloud of filth that is spreading. Are you saying those schools that are healthy in a good way are not subject to the trash that’s coming? They can’t possibly be affected in the future right? And I’m sure you’re educated enough to know that the Private sector is not sealed with a golden shield. It only takes 1 lawyer to make that change. But your feet in the sand looking at the lakes, why do you care what’s changing behind the scenes? Private schools and fences will keep them out….

    FYI read what I said, not what you want it to say

    Again we don't know the entire story of what is going on, do you? You and I only know what the news feeds us, correct? Just like the example furry's

    That was a great idea. As I was looking for showtimes at the IMAX, I came across this movie. You have to watch the trailer! Looks like a smash comedy of the century!! Never know what’s creeping around until you stumble on it.
