Juneteenth requires honest history. Period. We cannot say we honor Juneteenth while allowing the truth about slavery, racism, and the long fight for freedom to be softened, rewritten, or erased.And honest history is exactly what some people are trying to control. 👀 They usually don’t come right out and say, “We want to erase slavery.”… Read More

THIS is what “released time religious instruction” looks like in reality. Not in LifeWise’s glossy videos or their carefully scripted “character education” pitch. And definitely not in that clean legal theory where everything supposedly happens off campus and is totally separate from school.. 🙄😡 In practice. Day to day. All year long. 👉Behavior issues from… Read More
