There are diag vacancies in most area schools. They need to increase the pay to keep up

This is the case with most districts, not just BISD. Most districts play catch up with insurance increases. However, from what I’ve seen or heard, BISD pays more towards insurance than most.

I’m completely in favor if it means a paid day off work. If it’s not a paid day, it’s not a real holiday. 😁

It probably won’t have much negative affect. However, biased media will be all over any incident that could be attributed to this change.

The state is notorious for supposedly passing bills to improve school funding while taking or modifying other fundings which makes it a wash. The old bait and switch.

Hey there friend, just like I tell my granddaughter, I'm not judging anyone. My beliefs are based on what God thinks and what his word says. To say that I'm judging is in fact judging me, but I'm Ok with that. We all probably own some level of hypocrisy, me included, whether we admit it of not. However, God loves the sinner but hates the sin and he's no hypocrite.

This is a message that should be the parents decision. Nickelodeon is definitely out bounds. That's just my opinion.

As someone already pointed out, the problem isn't so much homosexuality. Its the demand for me to accept and embrace it and if I don't, I'm the problem. We could start a whole other thread on Christian hypocrisies, some just and some unjust. This thread is about Nickelodeon being a part of the agenda to indoctrinate our kids. They also play episodes of Friends at night which is not a health show or message to target youth.

True story. I'm have too many discussions weekly with my 12 year old granddaughter explaining why we, as Christians, oppose to LGBTQ, gay pride, pride month etc. All the while Nicleodean is promoting, indoctrinating the gay life acceptance. She wants to know why I hate gay people. (that's what she's being fed). I'm defending my beliefs to her and trying to explain that we love gay people, love the sinner, hate the sin.

The weight rooms are full this summer

Rules are rules, however a change in rules should be considered, like approved sashes for military, university choice, etc.

How can it be their fault? Didn't Biden invite them?

I understand respect your age opinion, however if the majority of the voters disagree, they should be able vote outside the preferred age group. Now, sure you understand the military age limit is for physical reasons and not mental, don’t you?

1) Ds and Rs should be able to nominate who they think is most qualified and the American people vote for who they choose, regardless of age. 2) The last two pages of this thread greatly illustrate what happened to the normal conservatives that used to post. Too much disrespect.

I may complain sometime but I never regret having Entergy as our provider. (not that I have a choice)

I've noticed yours and other's absence. I've tended to stay out as well for the same reasons and the disrespectful dialogue. I stepped back in the last couple days but may not last long.

I agree with your statement but it doesn’t necessarily apply to citizens that claim either party.

So concerning to topic of the thread; I suppose the answer is no?

I'm neither a D or an R. I can't stand either party. I consider myself a moderate conservative. I can respect those concerned with immigrants and their children. I also respect their need and desire to do better here in America. I just cannot support open borders and forgoing a legal system for that to happen. I can somewhat relate with those concerned with our environment but they want to take it too far too fast. I can appreciate compassion for the rest of the world that's in need but not without putting Americans first. I respect and agree with the call to provide food for those in need but I can't support a card with unlimited choices. I wholeheartedly agree with BLM. However, liberals take too far by wanting to defund the police and portray them as the bad guys and making the bad guys heroes and martyrs. Somehow its portrayed as all white peoples fault. It's taken too far and I can't support that. I can understand their desire for inclusion but I can't support things that conflict with my biblical values. If you can somehow remove politics from the equation, I think they mean well. I just don't agree.

The media will do their part as well.

I expect him to be in the trenches with the rest of the elected officials helping get Texas through this mess. Why do you think he cut is trip short to return? He screwed up and knew it. Once again, right is right and wrong is wrong. I expect him to practice what he preaches. I like Ted and I hope this doesn't sink him. [Hidden Content]

I like Ted but he screwed up and he knows it. Right is right and wrong is wrong. If it were a prominent democrat many Ted supporters would be singing a different tune.

I can't imagine the usage being higher than a hot summer week during the summer.

The article gave several possible reasons such as COVID for the low ratings without ever mentioning the knee, boycotts, etc.
