Stop Wasting Tax Money on School Busses
I rode the bus in first grade, not second grade. I rode the bus in third grade, not in fourth grade. I rode the bus in fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth grade, but not in tenth, eleventh, or twelfth grades. So more than half of my public school years (7 out of 13 to be specific), I was a bus rider, while the other better years I either walked to school or drove my own car to get there. I am a high school graduate. I am an American citizen. I do NOT support school bussing.

The Possible Consequences of Eliminating the US Department of Education
The President-Elect plans to fulfill a major campaign promise: to eliminate the U.S. Department of Education (DOE). Some Americans are celebrating this, but I’m not sure they understand what the DOE actually does — and how its absence might impact their children, local communities, and the most vulnerable students among us.

Election Day 2024
There are so many things I should have said but didn’t. I am not the type of person who says too much or says things I regret without thinking. On the contrary, I am far too quiet. In my case, I need to speak up more. There are many times I hold my tongue. In fact, I did it today, election day 2024.

"UNIQUE HUMANS". Content Warning.
I created this article and art to finalize my story writing regarding the results of the 2024 election. I am having a GRIM time wrapping my head around the masses of people who voted for authoritarian rule. I AM NOT GOING BACK! I must shout it out! This is the 21st century and the far-right wealthy people and over half of America voted to live under authoritarian rule. If I were wealthy, I would still be an empath, humanatarian, and caring person, not a rich fool that wants to dictate to the world. In my opinion' anyone who wants to dictate over others is a very weak human. A dictator has mental issues, low self-esteem, and is a bitter individual full of hate, destruction, and anger. They are small people who must bully others to cover up their inadequacies and fear of rejection as they tear up everything and everyone that disagrees with their abuse.

Until My Dying Days

The Kids Are Watching
“Live so that when your children think of fairness and integrity, they think of you.” – H. Jackson Brown Jr. Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) School Board members are the politicians who directly affect the daily lives of our children. Some, like BD3’s Scott Schmerelson, take this responsibility seriously, visiting school sites regularly and meeting with the students they were elected to represent. For others, the children seem to be an afterthought; they only show up to pose for the television cameras or to take pictures for their campaign websites.
