Anthem
Ayn RandCitizen ChrisMy kid is doing an essay/assignment covering Ayn Rand's "Anthem." As the atheist prophet of selfishness, I think it is offensive and certainly not age appropriate for people who are forming their moral values. Who will write me a bill to shut down the Randians in education?

The Waters of Marah: A Novel: 1
John HillCitizen Chris@Tre_John_son Ava is my favorite character on the show. She is an absurd portrayal. I'd find it interesting to see the educator who looks at her and says, "I feel so seen." Janine's relationship with her boyfriend (season 1) - clueless. Jacob Hill = cringe, overwoke. Melisssa = shady AF.

Stride Toward Freedom: The Montgomery Story
Martin Luther KingCitizen Chris"I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to ‘order’ than to justice" - Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. https://t.co/FHKL6Er0uK
