Bigoted trustee claims a 1st grader was traumatized by seeing a poster that had kids of different races holding hands. I'm just going to go out on a limb and suggest that this child does not exist. This is what happens when we allow someone like Trump to be legitimized with elected office: the bigots think they can get away with making up anything, like he does.

"The reason I'm so confident is our savings - one-and-a-half tonnes of fuel per day. Get four wings on a vessel, that's six tonnes of fuel saved, that's 20 tonnes of CO2 saved - per day. The numbers are massive."

@npub1zdp…vqv8 oh that sounds like every time we went to church when I was a child. "Must. sit. still. through. incredible. boredom!" And then I got in trouble for asking questions in Sunday school. I joined the choir out of sheer boredom.
I am so thankful to my mom that she gave up on turning us into a church-going family after awhile. I might have made her regret that when I realized I didn't believe in anything religious a year or two later.
