That's kind of a yawn after the "ermergerd Biden is the most corrupt human in the history of humans" from the Trump-apologist right's whataboutism.
Just think of all the 'history' of slavery, racism, and 10,000 other things that we were never really taught because it was either not recorded or suppressed.

Personally I think this is wonderful, especially if they allow for other foundational books from other religions to be in there as well.The Bible makes a come back.
Utah school district returns the Bible to shelves after appeals and outcry
The effort to ban the Bible reignited debate about the standards used to judge the content in books.
I do always enjoy an argument to the absurd, although I thought the point being made in the attempt to ban the bible was quite valid as a device to demonstrate the problem of the book banning efforts primarily being launched from the Christian Nationalist Right (intentionally using this term so as to not capture folks like M'skis that aren't the problem).The Bible makes a come back.

I tend to believe this is a huge part of the seeming "slow roll" on Trump... to set up some obvious precedents for prosecutors to cite, and set up a clear sentencing guideline.

The dude that's been living off the fumes of his masters thesis for around 25 years now? Yeah, I'm aware of his existence.
Something something family values something somethingNC House Speaker sued for alienation of affection
A former Apex Town Council member claims North Carolina House Speaker Tim Moore had an affair with his wife, resulting in the "destruction" of his marriage.
Well, this is going to be interesting for the NC-GOP. Nothing says unity like suing another party member for stealing your wife.
Trying to figure out whether Bubba is merely being sarcastic or cynical, which carries the baggage of bitterness.
Minor sarcasm over his penchant for self-promotion - I don't know the gentleman personally, but I'm aware of his connection with the Beltline and his career. The Beltline itself is a hellva good development, although I never use it (I prefer the 'Hooch NRA for walking activities).
I have family in ATL and have walked along the beltline many times. Also have suffered through the ridiculous laser light show that scammers have perpetrated calling it entertainment. It is time for the monument to crumble into a veritable ancient ruin instead of a celebration of slavery.
I'm more of the opinion you keep things like this as a reminder of how we make bad mistakes sometimes. Maybe you don't maintain it so well and focus the park towards education. I thought the light show was cool as an 8 year old, but that was 36 years ago.
My visit to the light show was with my kids. Don't remember the year, but I really felt ripped off. At risk of thread drift, it was just as bad as the wildly popular Xmas time light shows at botanical gardens. As a plant nerd I think those shows insult the gardens. People I know that work in the local one dread the light contractors and the damage they do.
I'm fine with him and probably a little jealous, because those type of projects are hard and aspirational. He was able to pull it off early in his career. Really good speaker, but not
Of course not. I find it especially rich that Long Dong Silver who benefitted from affirmative action has been vehemently opposed to such for the majority of his career basically pulling up the ladder behind him.
Now he must serve with his nemesis, an outspoken black woman.
To me this helps probably helps Biden more than anyone. He gets to say he tried, but look at the SC. It'll will probably push more recent college graduates and younger demographics further away from Republicans.
The entire system (costs, cultural demands, etc) needs to be restructured top to bottom and front to back and side to side.
1000% agree.
States fund public colleges and universities so it's not really a federal matter other than the support they provide through Pell grants for lower income students. See figures 9 & 10 for how this typically breaks down as well as how each state stacks up. https://www.pewtrusts.org/en/research-and-analysis/issue-briefs/2019/10/two-decades-of-change-in-federal-and-state-higher-education-funding (Two Decades of Change in Federal and State Higher Education Funding).
There are a lot of administrative reforms that have been undertaken which are helping current borrowers and will help moving forward. While this slipped under the radar, the negative amortization feature has been eliminated. Now on an income based repayment plan no interest on the loan in excess of the monthly payment will accrue on the loan. This is a huge game changer and how many people end up owing 2-3x more than they originally borrowed. I do think there needs to be a cap on the interest rates because it's ridiculous that whole industries got bailed out with 1% loans and student loan borrowers are paying 6%+ even when interest rates were 3%. I think 1-2% interest should be sufficient enough for the cost of servicing loans. Thankfully there are an increasing number of states that have made community college free or nearly free for many students and that's the path my youngest will take. I also went to community college for my first 60 credit hours before transferring to the local 4 year public university.
The temporary expansion ended LAST September.

There are still some waivers in effect through this September. It’s not as good as those that ended last year. Regardless, if you think you might pursue PSLF get your paperwork submitted.
Well the short answer is most politicians aren't really interested in truly solving problems. But if they can give you some free shit you may be likely to keep voting them back into office each election.
Same and why I was surprised they fixed the negative amortization feature. I also think they need to retool PSLF so it’s 10% principal balance forgiveness for every 12 months of qualifying service rather than the all or nothing it currently is. It would also not trap people in lesser paying jobs for a decade and save on interest.
