This is beautiful! I lived there for a year and taught in a neighboring school district for four years. Church leaders were always screwing with the public schools in order to get more students in their private schools.

25 years ago today, the U.S. launched its war in Afghanistan. Weeks earlier, Barbara Lee was the only member of Congress to vote against the 2001 Authorization of Military Force, warning it would be a blank check for forever wars. History has proven her lonely and courageous vote right.

Soaring instrument prices could stop the music at many schools
Pandemic-era supply chain snarls lifted prices for goods across the board. President Trump’s tariffs further swelled the cost of foreign-made instruments.
