Common sense Democrats = oxymoron

Either social issues or repeated repairs on problems he couldn't fix before (all with no new ideas). I am happy I have several episodes of last season The Walking Dead to catch up on. Pass on the SOTUS.

For someone who comments on the majority of statements here, it seems you are the one without a life.

Isn't asking your religion/religious views during an interview or on a job application considered discriminatory practice? Then how can a religious organization hire persons who share their religious views without asking such and thus risking a job discrimination lawsuit?

So, he twists the arms of Bank of America and possibly concede. I am sure there are dozens of other banks that will line up, if not here, then abroad. Just kicking the can down the road and not addressing the real issues. Especially in Chicago. Last I recall, it was gang bangers that pulled the trigger, not manufacturers.

Could school funding be tied into standardized testing? It is in Florida, but makes no sense. The lower performing schools get less funds while the A rated schools get the most. Our friend teaches in a D/F school and loves her kids, ready to learn (1st grade) but a box of crayons is a luxury. She solicits her friends to help out her class. Meanwhile, overfunded A schools have parents who flood the teachers with supplies, gift cards, etc all the tools needed for the year as well as constantly volunteering. I would say the scales of justice (or funding) are tipped way to much when it comes to funding based on standardized testing schools. Really makes no sense.

Then, I get an anonymous survey to complete asking me many questions about the effectiveness of our school system in relation to bullying, teacher communication, can my child feel comfortable confiding in a teacher/staff if there was a problem, etc. In addition, questions if my child is allowed to participate in projects with children of other races and if she feels comfortable speaking to children of other races. There was no column to bubble in for "WTF"!

Florida is dumbing down the standards in Palm Beach. The school board wants to implement standards that are based on race. The order goes, Asians, Whites, Hispanics, and African Americans. In math, the standards for passing will be 92% Asian, 86% White, 80% Hispanics, 74% Afr Americans. How is that for minority children, you are already expected to perform worse than your white and Asian students from the get go? On top of it, those students who may need more help are socially promoted to the next grade and become further and further behind rather than stay back and get help?

How can this be a "celebration of freedom" when so many are being infringed upon or outright taken away by bypassing the rules of government laid out by the Constitution that granted us these freedoms?
