    The Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce also warned the ban was passed too quickly and without regard for how it will affect the state’s tourism industry.

    “Such an expedited legislative process — rushing to advance state policy on broad, complex issues — is, at best, detrimental to Hoosiers, and at worst, reckless,” the chamber said in a statement, asking: “Will the Indy region continue to attract tourism and convention investments?”

    It would be fun if California passed a law refusing to allow state money to be expended in State’s that ban abortion. No attending competitions, conventions or trade shows by California state government employees. UCLA coaches and players can’t go to sporting events in Indiana.

    If you do UCLA, you'd need to include the other nine UC schools and the 23 Cal State schools.

    Then again, Newsom/legislature has banned state travel to 21 other states over LGBTQ policies.

    PROHIBITION ON STATE-FUNDED AND STATE-SPONSORED TRAVEL TO STATES WITH DISCRIMINATORY LAWS (ASSEMBLY BILL NO. 1887)

    One of the states was Montana, where Newsom took a family vacation a couple of months ago.

    Gov. Newsom is visiting family in Montana. A California travel ban doesn’t apply, his team says

    I don't know where to drop this info, but this thread seems likely. My 61 yr old cousin from Alabama just visited, and every other word was Jesus, every other sentence was "If it's not biblical, I try not to live it. I'm trying to live the word of our Lord." so I mentioned Lott and his daughters. She's my (now dead) mother's god child. She said that schools were teaching 2 and 5 year olds sexual positions, I think she meant 2nd graders and 5th graders, but I laughed outright and said no school, ANYWHERE was doing that. And said she needed critical thinking. Her response was "I guess I should look at the curriculum myself." This chick is never going to do that, because she also believes in 1 1/2 years she's going to get a job at Winterthur teaching religious art. That's her plan. To graduate with a bachelors in the next 2 years, age 64 by then, (paid by Alabama state funds for single women) and get a job at one of the premiere historical sites in the United States. Don't get me started on Tennessee's "faith based initiative".

    The same parents that want to micro-manage school boards don't understand why they are expected to play active roles in their child's learning/making sure they do their homework and maybe volunteer at school now and then.

    See also: Parents and others who say teachers have it so easy because they only work 9 months a year. Hmmm, if it’s so easy, why haven’t they applied for such a sweet gig?

    What would be really awesome is a mass orgy on the steps of the Supreme Court right around the election. Like in Japanese pron.

    Through maybe about second grade for my second child (he is now a sophomore in high school), I really tried to volunteer in class as much as I could. It was such a freaking eye-opening experience. That second child's grade was not the best behaved. I left my volunteer sessions so freaking stressed out and sometimes angry. His teachers always handled everything so well, I never could do that. I don't think most parents have any idea. And I never really volunteered in the classroom again, which kind of stinks for my younger two but I don't know if they really noticed. Most parents have zero idea what it is like to be in a classroom every day and get most of those kids halfway on the track they need to be.
