Houser cited data reporting that at least 587 kids are restrained or secluded each year in our public schools, and these incidents are likely underreported. Disproportionately, the victims of these practices are children with disabilities and children of color.
When I heard that COVID vaccinations were 95% effective, I thought that we could quickly wipe COVID out as a threat. Wrong! I should’ve known from the flu example that the virus would quickly mutate and remain a population threat.
“The good news is the units did reduce our oil usage quite a bit, probably 75 to 80 percent. However, our monthly electricity bill increased by over $300 dollars! With the astronomical installation costs, we won’t break even on these units until long after our kids have graduated from college in 17 years.”
March 12 was the third annual DetransAwarenessDay. The Vermont legislative proponents of H.89 and S.37 need to pause and hear detransitioner voices this week — the voices of those unnecessarily misdiagnosed and abandoned by exclusive gender-affirming healthcare.
H.189 would require the Vermont Department of Health to provide the General Assembly with an annual report of adverse reactions to immunizations. The role of data in guiding public health policy is well established and this bill will serve the people of Vermont.
There are striking parallels — and contrasts — between Jimmy Carter’s leadership during the 1970s Oil Crisis and Joe Biden’s initiatives during the current “Climate” Crisis.
Will we have an Occupy Silicon Valley Movement? Will the Tea Party rise again? In this case the #cronycapitalism center is wrong and the anti#wealthfare fringes on the right and left are correct.
With S.5, our elected representatives aren’t “asking” us to pay more to heat our homes with oil, propane, natural gas, and kerosene, they are forcing us to do so.
Part of the reason that Republicans make better coalition builders is because while Democrats preach diversity, it’s actually Republicans who have the more independent-minded legislators and policy advocates. That is the benefit of a big tent that has ideological diversity.
Lawmakers took the week off to return home for Town Meeting Week, in what is loosely the mid-point break in the legislative session. This year, it is not surprising that the controversial bill S.5 was a hot topic.
Vermont’s New England culture is made up of “all the people” — not just a few elites who think they are in charge. It is a dangerous thing to deny God, and can lead to man playing God. This indeed limits and destroys social and legal equality in our state and nation.
“Outsiders,” those looking in to the natural world rather than being a part of it, will never understand how much every animal hunted, fished or trapped is revered and respected by those of us that harvest them. We care just as much about the well being of wildlife as any “anti” ever did.
