Anti-mask parents mock Tennessee student describing loss of grandmother | TheHill

“This time last year, my grandmother, who was a former teacher at the Rutherford County school system died of Covid because someone wasn’t wearing a mask,” Knox said, according to the Nashville, Tenn., TV station. As he tried to continue his speech, adults in attendance began to laugh at and heckle him.

“Hey guys, we’re here to act professional,” the school board chairman reportedly said to calm down the crowd.

Knox told WSMV that he was shocked at the behavior of the adults at the meeting who heckled him.

“If they laugh at me about a personal story about my grandmother, that’s just disrespectful, I feel. So, I was like shaken a little bit,” Knox said.

Knox also said the incident will not deter him from speaking up in favor of a mask mandate.

“As long as I can get my message across, I don’t really think it matters what the crowd thinks of me,” Knox said. “Overall, they’re not the ones making the decisions for the school.”

Board member Claire Maxwell expressed regret over the incident, telling WSMV that the board was “ashamed about what happened” and wants to ensure “nothing like that ever happens again.”

Conformismo

Vivaldi Translation: “Conformism opens a door to abandonment”. Anyone who donates his rights to another, he does not account for the manifest of his losses.

” O conformismo abre uma porta para o abandono “. Toda pessoa que doa os seus direitos em prol de outra, ela não contabiliza o manifesto de seus prejuízos.

Lies, Lies, Lies — Is McCarthy’s Nose Growing Yet?

Filosofa's Word

I have to wonder if Kevin McCarthy’s parents read the story of Pinocchio to him as a child.  You remember … Pinocchio, the wooden puppet who became an actual boy, but his nose grew with every lie he told.  If Kevin heard that story as a child, you’d think it might have made a lasting impression and he’d be less inclined to lie glibly on a near-continual basis.  I remember as a child, each time I told a lie, going into the bathroom and actually measuring my nose with my finger!

But Kevin does have a fairly longish nose, come to think of it.

In the past two weeks, he has told at least six blatant lies that I’m aware of, likely many more.  The question becomes, why?  Does he realize that his constituents are largely uncaring and ignorant of facts and only want to hear those things that can…
