I guess I don't understand why someone would want to make a distinction on the basis of COVID vaccination status? I mean, why not deny care to (1) smokers, (2) fat people, (3) drug users, (4) out-of-shape people, (5) people with adult onset diabetes? If the idea is that people that make bad choices (as you interpret them) that impact their health and use up resources that could be used be people that make good choices (as you interpret them), why stop at COVID vaccine status? How about we don't provide treatment for people with colon cancer that didn't get a colon cancer screening when they were 50?

Instead of being complimented, perhaps she would have preferred being greeted like this?

This isnt abnormal. Being a parent is not for everyone. I love my stepson but I never wanted kids. I think he is normal and well adjusted (especially given two homes since he was less than 1).

I think it's completely acceptable to say you dont love being a parent and it's ok to not have kids. We would be in a much better place if only people who really wanted to be parents had kids.

Someone who doesn't know how to handle a puppet is training people how to handle other people. Hmmm.


Puppeteers don't "bite" the words or raise the top of the puppet's head to open its mouth. They lower the thumb to emulate a person lowering their jaw. They open the puppets jaw when the word is sounded instead of closing it on the word (biting the word). Both of these technical issues are somehow related to offensive gender or racial issues I suppose.

I agree. There are lots of people that don't want kids. The problem is people like her that have kids and THEN decide they don't want them. That decision should be made before getting pregnant or having the kid.

But you have no idea if that's what happened. I also know plenty of people who desperately wanted kids but are suffering from loss of their own identity, difficult parenting situations ( childrens lymphoma, etc), etc. Being a parent is hard and sometimes heartbreaking. These days Im much more prone to give some grace. I dont know why she had a kid, I dont know if her motivation is selfish or if she is just feeling overwhelmed.

I mean, they are correct in saying that "they" is not always plural, it never has been.

However, it is a (IRRC - no promises) a predicate pronoun, so referring to yourself as "they" is grammatical nonsense until like 3 years ago.

they has been used singular in the English language for a long time..

It is used that way in Canterbury tales.

Schools Drop 'To Kill A Mockingbird' From Reading List After Race Complaint

A school board in Washington has voted to remove Harper Lee's classic novel To Kill a Mockingbird from the required reading list for ninth-grade students.
The Mukilteo School Board voted unanimously to remove the book from the required reading list on Monday evening, The Everett Herald reported.
The board's move does not ban the book from being taught, and it remains on the district-approved novel list.
To Kill a Mockingbird, which tells the story of an attorney who represents a Black man wrongly accused of raping a white woman in Alabama in the 1930s, won the Pulitzer Prize for fiction in 1961, and is required reading in many schools across the country.
However, the book has also been controversial and banned by some school districts.
Last year, three high school English teachersVerena Kuzmany, Riley Gaggero and Rachel Johnsonrequested the book be removed from the Mukilteo School District's curriculum, according to the Herald.
They argued the novel celebrates white saviorhood, marginalizes characters of color and features the 'n-word' almost 50 times.
The Instructional Materials Committee, comprised of about 20 members including teachers and parents, evaluated the request.
