TFG "Virginia’s education department proposed major curriculum overhauls. The Virginia Department of Education decided late last week to revise history and social science learning standards that would significantly alter the guidelines it had previously recommended. Why? Opponents say the move amounts to politically motivated meddling that would impede impartial teaching. The education department says the guidance would “restore excellence, curiosity and excitement” to teaching history." www.washingtonpost.com/education/2022/11/12/virginia-schools-history-standards-youngkin/

I'm sorry to everyone these latest shootings were close to. It's so damn scary and infuriating.

This is beyond horrifying. Something needs to be done. (Clearly I don't know what could be done but we can't just sit by helplessly while they're murdered.)

Hello from Charlottesville. Today has been rough; all schools and several businesses closed this morning due to the shelter in place order. UVA clinics closed, which almost never happens. Thankfully they caught him and we can go back to “normal” tomorrow. Today felt a lot like March 2020, very quiet and eerie. I’m so sad for our football team. I live about four miles from UVA.

The situation in Iran is terrifying. Someone/some country has to interject before 15,000 people are murdered right?!

Sending love to those close to where the shootings have taken place.
I am absolutely appalled by the post about Iran. Is anyone allowed to step in and stop it? The thought of a mass execution is beyond horrifying.

Wait can an elected official just change their party affiliation during their term/after they are elected? It feels super sneaky and that control could always be in limbo.

I am very conflict averse, but I feel like someone *has to* intervene in Iran. In some way. We sent weapons and shit to Ukraine, we can do something here. Right?!
