Parent Association

I don’t know whether to shout for joy or cry my eyes out over this incredible report by @ehanford. #SoldaStory is brilliant work. if you’re a parent or g-parent or frankly just an ordinary citizen. You must listen to this podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sol… @CAParentPower @ReopenCASchools

Parents instinctively knew the campaign to require vaccinations and masks was disingenuous and potentially dangerous. The consequences will be felt for a whole generation.

👏 Bravo!

This is Alyson Powell, Chair of East Greenwich School Committee in RI. She illegally directed the school cmte to RE-VOTE TO DENY 4 HOMESCHOOL requests approved by 1st vote. Alyson sends her kids to private school while illegally forcing other families into public school. Her response to atty advising against this: "Whatever."

BREAKING: Lancaster, Pennsylvania officials have BUSTED a large-scale fraudulent voter registration scheme that includes thousands of applications with the same handwriting, fake signatures, false addresses, etc They discovered the same scheme in other Pennsylvania counties. District Attorney Heather Adams revealed that the applications came from canvassers who were paid to obtain voter registrations, adding that "The majority of the applications were from residents in the city of Lancaster... The canvases themselves took place at various shopping centers, parking lots of grocery stores and businesses, sidewalks and parks." "We are aware of at least two other counties that receive similar applications that are currently being investigated." If you listen closely, the DA said the Clerk received the applications at or near the deadline to register to vote. That means the bad actors waited till the last minute so no one would notice. They would've used the fraudulent applications to commit mail-in ballot fraud without getting caught. We better check the entire state of Pennsylvania, and we better see arrests NOW.

@rcg999 Kamala needs oversight!

This election is not about left or right. It’s about the basic foundational principles that our country was founded on you can’t despise the Constitution and love America. You cannot be willing to destroy the Republic and love America. You can’t advocate for packing the Supreme Court and love America. America must come first and the last four years have been the most anti America and more important anti American time in our countries history.

@GrageDustin @irrationalhenry @Nike what say you???

Yes, we’ve got serious trouble if we have any hope of the U.S. continuing to be at the forefront of science and engineering. If our children don’t learn math and excel, we are doomed.

@saint_owly @TheMathGuru @joboaler @youcubed @strugglymath @Stanford This is the huge problem. She wrote the California Math Framework that K-12 school districts use to develop curriculum

@TheMathGuru @joboaler @youcubed @strugglymath @Stanford The part where she struggles to do division with simple fractions lol Why do we care what this random woman has to say?

Have you read @joboaler’s #MathIsh yet? What was your fave part?!

@AsimovsOracle @TheMathGuru @joboaler @youcubed @strugglymath @Stanford It’s called articulate incompetence

@TheMathGuru @joboaler @youcubed @strugglymath @Stanford The new book smell might be great, but too bad the math in this books stinks.

@anumness @savemathnow

As a math lover Im annoyed just reading this. What would you do in this situation?

@GuntherEagleman @patrickwebb We will not allow schools to close again!!

@patrickwebb Not a fcking chance!

BREAKING: WHO has reportedly instructed world governments to prepare for lockdowns due to monkeypox outbreak.

It’s possible to nurture independence in your toddler while maintaining attachment, trust, and safety. There’s a video that’s gone super viral this week. Maybe you’ve seen it? It shows a father and his toddler son walking down a path that is blocked, at a point, by a set of three low-hanging ropes. Dad steps over them easily, but they’re right at waist/chest level for his son. The father turns around to see how the toddler will navigate the obstacle and the little one lifts his arms, signaling for dad to lift him over the barrier. Instead, dad silently turns his back and walks away. Distressed, the toddler yells for his father and begins attempting to navigate the ropes. As he does he becomes entangled - at which point dad returns, picks the toddler up, places him back where he started, and again turns his back and walks off. After some effort - and several more distressed vocalizations - our hero finally does manage to make his way to the other side (at which point the father applauds and returns to congratulate him). The reaction has been split - with many praising the father for encouraging independence and problem solving and others less enamored. Count me in the second camp, but not because I disagree with his intent. The thing is that it’s possible to nurture independence without withdrawing safety, support, and encouragement. Contrast that video with this one of a toddler working hard to overcome an obstacle of her own. The challenge: descend a set of outdoor stairs. Both videos depict parents encouraging independence and problem solving. But where one parent goes radio silent, physically distances himself, and creates a needlessly stressful situation, the other stays in close proximity, providing reassurance and verbal encouragement… (before improvising an amazing “happy dance” song). Promoting appropriate levels of independence is a worthy goal (in both instances). But the approaches we take make a difference. Note that the mother here doesn’t intervene physically, leaving her toddler to navigate the challenge entirely on her own. (She actually provides less intervention than the father does in this regard.) What’s more, she provides no verbal instruction, limiting her comments to simple encouragements (“Let’s do it! Come on!”). But her actions and presence send a message that says “you can do it” rather than “I’m leaving.” Her approach promotes independence, attachment, and trust all at the same time. And that’s a combination that actually encourages problem solving. (Note that at the end of the video her daughter climbs back up the stairs to try the whole thing over again.) Be like this mom. This video - which is far more deserving of viral status - shared to IG by asheybashy.

Remarkable common sense! @ProtectKidsCA

🚨MAJOR WIN: Today we received a major victory against the Biden Administration’s Department of Education (“DOE”), stopping its attempt to rewrite Title IX to force Texas schools to adopt radical “transgender” policies in violation of state & federal law.  Joe Biden’s unlawful effort to weaponize Title IX for his extremist agenda has been stopped in its tracks. Threatening to withhold education funding by forcing states to accept ‘transgender’ policies that put women in danger was plainly illegal. Texas has prevailed on behalf of the entire Nation. The court order explains: “[The Biden Administration] failed to follow the proper procedures here. Rather than promote the equal opportunity, dignity, and respect that Title IX demands for both biological sexes, [the DOE’s] Guidance Documents do the opposite in an effort to advance an agenda wholly divorced from the text, structure, & contemporary context of Title IX.… Thus, to allow [the Biden Administration’s] unlawful action to stand would be to functionally rewrite Title IX in a way that shockingly transforms American education and usurps a major question from Congress. That is not how our democratic system functions.

@JZachreson Finally there is Justice! For every parent who stood against COVID vaccine mandates, especially for children, this is proof that your voice matters. Pursuing justice takes time, but in the end it’s what we must do to preserve freedom from tyranny.

🚨 Huge legal victory today! 🚨 Judges in the 9th circuit ruled LAUSD’s Covid-19 vaccine mandate for employees was unconstitutional. I truly feel sorry for all the teachers and school staff who were forced to choose between an unwanted medical treatment and their livelihoods. healthfreedomdefense.org/huge-legal-vic…
