Bambu, where I am at one third of our people are foreign born, and the majority of citizens here are Latino. The best way to help the people to climb the ladder here is to make them legal citizens so that they can own property here, etc. The number one industry here in Anaheim is Tourism, and we receive 50,000 tourists per day, so if the people can become legal, and if they can figure out some way to make money from the Tourism such as from a restaurant or from a hotel, etc, then the people can start climbing the ladder. Restaurants are a popular way for new immigrants to start climbing the ladder.

When my dearly departed friend Lisa first came to America from the Philippines, she opened a night club in Los Angeles named "Manila Gardens" and her club was a huge success. She was very wealthy and she spent her whole life helping the homeless. She was born wealthy, from the Banana Industry. She helped a lot of people, including me. And she was friends with Suzanne Pleshette, which was cool.

Salute,

Tony V.

A 12-year-old student was allegedly sent home from school after he refused to change his T-shirt that said, There are only two genders.

Liam Morrison, a seventh-grader at Nichols Middle School in Middleborough, Massachusetts, said he was taken out of gym class on March 21 and met with school staff who told him people were complaining about the statement on his shirt and that it made them feel unsafe, They told me that I wasn't in trouble, but it sure felt like I was. I was told that I would need to remove my shirt before I could return to class. When I nicely told them that I didn't want to do that, they called my father,

He offered his explanation during a Middleborough School Committee meeting on April 13.



I was told I was targeting a protected class and was a disruption to learning.
Who is this protected class?
Are their feelings more important than my rights?
I do not  complain when I see Pride flags and diversity posters hung throughout the school. Do you know why? Because others have a right to their beliefs, just as I do.
I was told that the shirt was a disruption to learning. No one got up and stormed out of class.
No one burst into tears.
I am sure I would have noticed if they had.
I experience disruptions to my learning every day. Kids acting out in class are a disruption, yet nothing is done. Why do the rules apply to one yet not another?
I have learned a lot from this experience. I learned that a lot of other students share my view.
I learned that adults do not always do the right thing or make the right decisions.
I know that I have a right to wear a shirt with those five words.Even at 12 years old.
I have my own political opinions and I have a right to express those opinions. Even at school. This right is called the First Amendment to the Constitution.

12 is a little too young to be such a smug, self righteous, solipsistic little prick. But just the right age to have a RedDick level of nuanced understanding of Constitutional law. Which is to say, none whatsoever.

LOL!
How dare the kid have a point, let alone be scientifically correct.

How dare the school have a point, let alone be Constitutionally correct.

You seem a little confused.  In this case the school ignores both the Constitution and Science.
But the  student honors both.

You are wrong on all three sentences. But no more fish for you today.

Well. Happy fishing.

Fast forward to today...Reparations.
"Why should non-Black people in San Francisco today who didn't enslave anyone be paying money to Black people in San Francisco today who were never enslaved"?...is a question being asked.

That is why San Francisco should take the money from an Australian owned criminal fascist corporation that should not be allowed to exist in any form, namely news corp.

That answers your question.

I am glad you watched the video.

Now you have been to London! Good on ya mate!

Red needs to stop making that Gollum noise in his throat if he wants people to take him seriously.

Rightwing politics is ugly.

Rightwing politics is ugly.

Not as ugly as Leftwing politics...in particular the radical Left and the violent left.

[Rabid Response Team]

Rupert Murdoch is American.

In the limited sense that he gave up Australian citizenship in the mid-80s to satisfy the legal requirement for US television network ownership.

Nothing limited about it.  He is an American Citizen and has been for 38 years
ThevFCC rule against foreign ownership of US tV stations was repealed 10 years ago.

Rupert Murdoch is American.

In the limited sense that he gave up Australian citizenship in the mid-80s to satisfy the legal requirement for US television network ownership.

Which makes him solely American.

Which makes him solely American.

Which makes him an American citizen. He is still Australian in the same way my wife is still Polish,  even if you are embarrassed to claim him.

Political cause T shirts in schools?

Simple solution...school uniforms for all students...kindergarten to high school graduation...as in my world.
Every child wears the uniform.
Poor?  Genuinely can't afford the uniform?
No worries...parents can trade in/donate uniforms no longer required, to the uniform pool.
The school/Education Dept makes sure, one way or another, every child has the uniform to wear.
Not a national flag shirt, pride shirt, message shirt etc in sight.
No slippers, no flip flops, only the regulation school uniform including black shoes, and hat (sunburn and skin cancer prevention).
No underwear as outerwear, no tights as pants, only proper dresses or skirts and blouses.
No jewellery, no bling contents.
No revealing attire...and in general girls' skirts and dresses are of a respectable length.
No gender message shirts, no gender wars.
...just peaceful, quiet learning.
Aaaaah.
