Body cameras for teachers? Let educators do their jobs without censorship.
We rely on doctors when we need medical attention. We count on plumbers to fix a leak. So why don’t we do the same for our teachers? They go to school for years to earn degrees in education. They study curriculum, child development, and teaching strategies. Yet, many people think they know better and are…

Kids have good reason to think adults don’t know what they’re doing
It’s no wonder our kids doubt every word we say. Adults have not given them good reason to trust us throughout the last two years, and the latest repeal of mask mandates isn’t helping. Our school is apparently dropping indoor mask mandates soon – the rumor is that it’ll be in a week or so. …

Are liberals funnier than conservatives?
Why do so many comedic talk show hosts and news personalities lean left? Are they simply inspired by Barack Obama, a man who could have a second career in comedy? Or is it that Donald Trump’s presidency provided a gold mine of material, fueling the evening and late night hours? Or is it possible that…

Whoopi Goldberg flap proves cancel culture has gone too far
The recent fiasco on ABC’s daily talk show “The View” regarding some ill-informed comments by Whoopi Goldberg about the Holocaust underscored just how punitive our society has become. Goldberg just returned from serving a two-week suspension for saying the killing of six million Jews during World War II wasn’t about race but instead about “man’s inhumanity…

Let’s give Joe Rogan a chance
If Spotify pulls the plug on Joe Rogan and his misinformation, he won’t go away, so let’s consider another option. Let’s start with the fact that I was pretty late to the Joe Rogan game. He existed in my mind as sort of this ultra bro-y meathead character who spouted pretty gross things about things like…

Is ignoring Trump a good thing?
Former President Donald Trump is back on the rally circuit, and while many people are trying to ignore him, that may not be the best approach. During Martin Luther King, Jr. weekend, Trump took center stage in Arizona and did his best to encourage disenfranchising the state’s voters. Donald Trump: “The radical Democrats are also currently…

Christmas cards with guns deliver more than shock
Yes, the holiday season is behind us, but we’re still living with the damage from Christmas cards with all the guns. Did you see those right-wing representatives and their families posing in front of Christmas trees, all holding guns? And we’re not just talking about hand guns. They were grinning ear to ear with giant…

Worth the wait: Trump and his right-wingers may pay the price for January 6
I believe I can speak for many liberals when I say that Merrick Garland’s speech to the Justice Department on January 5 was long overdue. Considering the gravity of the matter — an actual siege on our nation’s capital — it’s been more than bewildering and disappointing to hear virtually nothing from the Attorney General…

For everyone’s mental health, let’s act like adults and not like Donald Trump
America’s youth are in the midst of a mental health crisis, and adults must step up to fix the problem they’ve created. The surgeon general recently issued an advisory outlining the widespread mental health issues and placed the blame squarely on the messages that young people hear through the media and pop culture. Our children are bombarded with…

Right making fatal mistake equating abortion rights and vaccine mandates
If abortion rights activists pin their case on bodily autonomy, does the same hold true for anti-vaxxers? While both sides shout “My body, my choice!”, those against vaccines mandates are ignoring an extremely important issue in this battle. If you don’t take advantage of access to a safe, readily available vaccine, you contribute to the…

Before you object to vaccine mandates, take a look at what you are already doing
Everyone seems to have an opinion about COVID-19 vaccine mandates, and the discussions are on display for all to see. Even actor Matthew McConaughey got caught up in the commotion, grabbing headlines when he raised questions about mandates. While the mega-star side-stepped the controversy, many others are jumping right into the fray, claiming they have…

Here’s what I said to my white son about race in America
Certainly you’ve heard the shouting about Critical Race Theory (CRT) and the demands we ban it from our children’s classrooms. All of that commotion is overshadowing what’s really happening and distracting from the conversations we need to have with our kids. First, CRT is not taught to students in kindergarten through 12th grade. It’s a…

Opinion: Here’s how to respond to friends’ conspiracy theories
Fact or fiction? For some of us, we can easily tell the difference in the political arena. Others get caught up in conspiracy theories, many of which seem so outlandish you can’t image how anyone could possible think they are true. However, lately, more and more people are buying into what seems like nonsense. It’s…
