“ The USA has a potty-training problem.

In #Utah, a law came into effect last year mandating that, with some exceptions, children will not be allowed to enroll in public school without first being toilet trained.

#Kansas lawmakers introduced a similar bill in January, and at least one district in #Florida is considering a policy change that could force kindergartners to stay home until they are out of diapers.”

“Police arrested a high school physics teacher for clapping during a city council meeting.

Teacher Lux Claridge went to a meeting of the Emporia, #Kansas City Commission on July 22 with their spouse and brother.

All three were there to speak out against a proposed hyperscale #datacenter that would sit on 1,000 acres of rural land in Emporia.

They were dragged out, in handcuffs, by police on the orders of a city commissioner.

The city approved the datacenter.”
