The teacher speaking is Mr. McCant at Lovejoy High School in Clayton County, Georgia.

Is this what is being taught to students? It's no wonder people are feeling stressed, but it's the left indoctrinating people. 🙄

Would this be considered grooming?

An extraordinary new policy from the Defense Department that equates basic reporting methods to criminal activity has prompted a revolt among Pentagon journalists that could leave the nation's largest agency and the world's largest military without a press corps.

'Without precedent': Virtually all news outlets reject restrictive Pentagon press policy

The policy would force news organizations to refrain from publishing material not approved by the military. Media lawyers say it violates the 1st Amendment.

@aircanada.bsky.social : I wish I could remember her name (mea culpa), but the flight attendant in business class on AC363 yesterday (October 13th) from YHZ>YVR absolutely made the flight the pleasure it was. She was an absolute joy to have in the cabin. Please do pass along my thanks & kudos. 💫 😍

I'm SO glad that 🇺🇸 airports are refusing to play Noem's video blaming the shutdowns on the Dems. We caught an 🇺🇸 morning news show in Halifax & were horrified to see Noem's self-deportation app being advertised. America: please don't let this become a new normal. Anyway, life is grand in 🇨🇦. #Bestie

When in Halifax, a guided tour of the Pier 21 Canadian Museum of Immigration is a must do. Just don’t fail the citizenship test like we did, otherwise they take away your 🇨🇦🍁.

My number one tip for researchers that do a significant amount of non peer reviewed paper publication/outreach:

Create an excel table, every time you give an interview, talk, write an oped or white paper, etc. take 5 seconds to immediately note it in the excel.
