I was so disappointed by Bill Maher & his guests as I listened to their inability to discern between "equity" and "equality." How embarrassing: a rationale for modeling & teaching every child what equity is! Is Bill becoming Archie Bunker now; too old to connect w/ a new reality?

Following a semester as an undergraduate teaching kindergarten, I realized that EVERY human needs love, care, and our assistance to become their future selves. I think every potential police officer should spend a few months with kdg students also before they become an officer.

Three years ago (2018) several economists announced that for wages to keep pace with the cost of living, the minimum wage should be at $23 an hour. Why wasn't that reported by major news networks? Now we're bragging about $15 an hour in three years?

I enjoyed your "lesson" for us this evening, Mr. Kay, on your book topics. As professor emeritus from WCU, it's so encouraging to learn from you and spread your message.

Which "socialism" do you prefer: building a wall, hiring more ICE officers, paying Trump to house the secret service at his golf resorts weekly?
Or, cheaper health care than you now have, cheaper college costs for your kids, better salaries-things that make you say "Hmmmm."

Trump approves another $16 BILLION for farmers today $12 BILLION last Fall, and wants to spend $billions on a wall. Who's a SOCIALIST, now? SOCIALISM = "Social systems based on shared or government ownership & administration of the means of production & distribution of goods."

Hmm . . . Trump suggests "no socialism," eh? Why is it acceptable to spend billions of dollars yearly on the U. S. SOCIALIST MILITARY (paid for by the people = SOCIALISM); but unacceptable to have a socialist health care so that all U. S. citizens have the "right" to be healthy?

After one year as education secretary, it's safe to say #BestyFailed. Send Betsy DeVos a message: let her know how she has failed to make the grade. bit.ly/2DDHoSx

When did the National Anthem become solely a tribute to soldiers? It was written to honor our freedom . . . EVERYBODY'S freedom!

$50 million of our tax dollars are paid to the NFL every year to fly jets over football stadiums. That's defense? Send $$$ to Puerto Rico!

Ed Week reports DeVos is using $7.78 million of Ed Dept $ for security, while Trump plans to cut Ed Dept budget by 13%-any left for schools?

Tell your family & friends that the Trump budget proposes taking away "Meals on Wheels" & food for children attending after school programs.

Is Representative King from Iowa un-American for proposing to defund public schools in the U. S. via HR 610? 96% of Iowans go to public sch.

NOW is a wise time for you to call/fax your local U. S. Representative and let her/him know that you OPPOSE HB 610 before it gains support.
