Nearly Half of All Sheriffs in Louisiana Are Violating Public Records Laws
---

Of the 64 sheriffs statewide, 23 have never secured state approval for their records retention policy, three allowed their policies to expire (one as far back as 1980) and the policies of an additional four are so limited they only address a small fraction of the records in their possession.

In his closing, Rep. Stubblefield quoted a verse from Deuteronomy and just said he believes any man that dresses as a woman or any woman that dresses as a man is “an abomination”. So it’s not about “protecting children”. SB43 passes unanimously of out committee.

"But the fact remains that the origins of the current pedophilia panic being used to attack the LGBTQ+ community now, and the drag and trans communities in particular, originated with Q Anon and remains central to the conspiracy theory." buff.ly/3J9NZW4

Phone numbers and e-mail addresses aren't just ways to communicate with you — they're ways to track you.

If you don't want to be tracked, think twice before you hand that information over.

Doctor Fate

Today’s topic? Racism in School.

It’s a little known fact that Dr Fate is also a parent; one’s a fifth grader.

We spend time together every morning before school on the couch in the dim light of morning as my wife, Inza, and I sip our coffee. It’s a great time to chat, have a few laughs and gradually prepare for the day.

She’s only 10, but she’s very progressive for her age, and very sensitive. She was concerned about some comments by a teacher that made one of her friends feel bad. I don’t think we solved any world problems, but at least we were there.

I thought about the Right-Wing Craziness over Critical Race Theory. And then remembered that her school has an adult study group for parents to connect and learn more about racism.

So what’s my point?

If a 10 year old can see it, it’s there.

I’m well aware that I can’t change anyone else, but I can change my own actions. I’m going to find out more about these parent meetings.

You have to understand that Twitter only functions by having people to attack. You sticking around there to "fight the good fight" is GIVING THEM EXACTLY WHAT THEY WANT. They WANT YOU THERE, FIGHTING. You're not changing a damn thing. You're playing a roll they want you to play for their amusement.

DON'T DO THAT.

The likes of Huckabee are proponents of the 30% sales tax. That tells you all you need to know.

It's a "tax the poor" form of taxation.

Teens are not kids, they are teens. They absolutely need more safeguards and protections than adults do, but they also deserve a lot more autonomy than actual children, because that's how they're going to learn how to make decisions for themselves as adults.

Anti-prevention commentators are continuing to attack child protection experts, this time directly conflating efforts to spread accurate information about pedophilia, which can be used to guide prevention work, with "normalization."
