This was trashy questioning! U kid cannot die from a breathable mask but can from school violence. Ur not being harassed for waiting to talk to someone. Thats like having a case against the phone company that puts u on hold longer than u want to be on hold. Or a line to get into a club or restaurant. Howley is completely mischaracterizing the memo on purpose. No adult that didnt get to speak is gonna be investigated, only the ones that like to leave threating voicemails, letters and those that put there hands on others. Howley is a joke!!$ All of this is due to the parents organizing to bombard the school boards over some trivial things then complaining about having to wait in long lines they themselves created. Completely illogical.

Uh, someone isn’t up on their Smarter-than-Thou talking points “Vaccines have been around since the 1800s” the problem with Libtards is they hear their Party Talking point and simply repeat it. Uh, yes, vaccines have been around for quite a while… in fact I’m taking my annual Flu shot for the 3rd year in a row because I’m over 60 - BECAUSE IT HAS DECADES OF REFORMULATIONS BEHIND EACH BATCH! Fauci juice (or call it Trump’s Vaccines because got them all thru the FDA within a year) has been clinically tested for LESS THAN A YEAR! Please name ANY other vaccine that hasn’t been tested for at LEAST FIVE YEARS!!! (Start the Jeopardy clock) 2nd Only the Madura is NEW TECHNOLOGY - rather than stimulate the body’s immune system to attack a weaker protein based mini-viral bait… the NEW TECH CUTS OFF THE SPIKES… 🧐 uh, I love “science” but Mengele was a “scientist” too! “Where do these toxic spikes go???” Nobody knows. Why BECAUSE THERE ARE NO LONG TERM STUDIES!!! All we know is that - unlike the protein based vaxxes - this NEW TECH wanders around the body along with its sheared off spikes - and does not stay “localized” in the arm or at least the shoulder. So just maybe - maybe - this Fauci Juice isn’t really working… do we have any Delta data… yes we DO! Do Libtards know it? No. Because their Government/Party run “news” sources are trying to cover up data from the UK’s National medical report: The GOOD news - people who are VAXXED and UNDER 50 have a significantly lower risk of being hospitalized with the Delta variant. Great. The BAAAD news, people OVER 55 who have been VAXXED stand a GREATER RISK of hospitalization… than the UNVAXXED. 😳 Now HOW is that possible? Well, that’s the data, but when you realized FAUCHI and the CDC has been LYING since the CCP’s MAN-MADE virus 🦠 was carried into our airports… FauchI who defied the ban on “gain of function” Research SENT OUR TAXES INCOME $$$ to the Wuhan Labs because “it was worth the risk of a pandemic” - his emails - so WHAT IS THIS VACCINE REALLY SUPPOSED TO DO AND WHY IS THE GOVERNMENT PUSHING IT FOR A VIRUS THAT IS 0.01 fatal and only for those over 65 with comorbidities 🧐 As Trump has said “Take it if you feel it’s safe… or not… your choice” why is the Soviet Democrat Party holding people down and shoving it into their bodies??? kzbin.info/www/bejne/oIO0aZWkmq5qrNU 19:00 for the under/over 55

My son attended public school for a few years before I noticed that he was starting to come home depressed, inconsolable. His teacher was asking him to rewrite papers over and over because of his handwriting, he was a lefty. My son didn't understand how much of a gift that was, that his teacher was giving him the opportunity to repeat something until he had it just right. He banged his head against the wall and screamed, not knowing how to deal with the fact that what he was presenting to the world was less than what he had to offer. I took him out of school and homeschooled him. He began to understand the value of a public education, started to appreciate the gift that the country gives young students, and when he returned to school his attitude was much different. Raising children around an environment that teaches only rights and no responsibilities is dangerous. Raising children in an environment that teaches children that what they have in this country is something that they deserved, both the good and the bad in it, is also dangerous. We used to teach our children about the world and their place in it. What their role was, how to fill it perfectly, and what those expectations involved. We used to never talk about the rewards of doing those things, they were just part of doing them. They were understood. Children expect those rewards today, without understanding how they came about and how to achieve them. It's no longer socially acceptable to teach that all children should be raised by both their mother and father. It's no longer acceptable to teach that children should never be taught about how to have sex safely, until their wedding night. It's no longer acceptable to teach children anything about morals and ethics, and knowledge without morals and ethics is the fastest way to kill a society. Parents no longer know what etiquette is, and as such, neither do their children. You thought it was too harsh to paddle a child's behind in school, but you're willing to put them in jail for a fight on school grounds. I don't know who you people are, what you think you are doing, but you KNOW what happens when you do it wrong, you have the rules of how to do it right, and watching you all is like watching a train wreck over and over in slow motion. I've had just enough of this idiocy and can't even fathom how you could get to a point where you are having to call in the FBI because no one knows their manners, and no one cares about what our children are learning and how they are learning. Im not sure why you even teach them anymore, since you don't want to teach them the morals and ethics that HAVE to go along with the knowledge that you give them in order for them to survive, or better yet live a life worth actually having. Shame on all of you. You make me ashamed to be a human being and ashamed to be an American.

It's amazing how so many people refuse too believe that something like the rise of Nazi Germany (German Socialist workers party) could never happen again, we are on the same road and people that study history can see the parallels occurring in America with Germany of the 1930s. "The path we’re embarked upon, in the name of good, is a familiar one. The unspeakable horrors of Nazism, Stalinism, and Maoism did not begin in the ‘30s and ‘40s with the men usually associated with those names. Those horrors were simply the end result of a long evolution of ideas leading to the consolidation of power in central government in the name of “social justice.” It was decent but misguided Germans, who would have cringed at the thought of extermination and genocide, who built the Trojan Horse for Hitler to take over. We Americans promote disrespect for our Constitution, rule of law and private property in our pursuit of “social justice.” But the scum that rises to the top has an agenda of command and control that’s leading toward totalitarianism. And, incidentally, it’s no coincidence that most of those at the top are lawyers -- people with a special, seemingly tutored, contempt for our Constitution and rule of law." -- Walter E.
