Public schools in Maryland must allow parents with religious objections to withdraw their children from classes in which storybooks with L.G.B.T.Q. themes are discussed, the Supreme Court ruled on Friday.The vote was 6 to 3, with the court’s liberal members in dissent.
The case extended a winning streak for claims of religious freedom at the court, gains that have often come at the expense of other values, notably gay rights.
The case concerned a new curriculum adopted in 2022 for prekindergarten through the fifth grade by the Montgomery County Public Schools, Maryland’s largest school system.
The storybooks included “Pride Puppy,” an alphabet primer about a family whose puppy gets lost at a Pride parade; “Love, Violet,” about a girl who develops a crush on her female classmate; “Born Ready,” about a transgender boy; and “Uncle Bobby’s Wedding,” about a same-sex union.
At first, the school system gave parents notice when the storybooks were to be discussed, along with the opportunity to have their children excused. But school administrators soon eliminated the advance notice and opt-out policy, saying it was hard to administer, led to absenteeism and risked “exposing students who believe the storybooks represent them and their families to social stigma and isolation.”

Greens candidate Hannah Thomas was injured by police while peacefully protesting on public land outside a company that provides weapon parts to Israel.
A brutal use of excessive force has left Hannah seriously injured - needing surgery and risks losing sight in her eye.
The police and Minns government choose to protect weapons companies over people. SHAME

Stupid people equate wealth with cash.
Jeff Bozo, is wealthy because he owns a good portion of Amazon. If he were to "pay his fair share" he would have to give up his ownership and put people out of work, shut down operations, and discontinue many services.
Look at the 1.1% you claim is his tax rate, which is pure bullshit by the way, and figure out how much money that is. Do you pay that on your total wealth?
Jealousy and greed do you no good at all.

It’s about removing the guardrails of democracy.
SCOTUS just ruled courts may only block policies for plaintiffs—not everyone affected. The opinion warns that the prior approach “lacks a limiting principle and would make nationwide injunctions the rule rather than the exception”

@matty I was wrong, it wasn't about the money. Here's your answer to why Flood, Nick, and 5py Hun73r, and others, don't stream on your platform. It's because geniuses like this thought they were so clever, driving them away from your platform.
@MCMLXVIIOTGThey knew what was going on well before it was exposed and they continued to take the shekels while at the same time telling people to lay off on whipping their pay-pig.
Look, they're no longer here because they were exposed and mocked... then they decided to leave. It's that simple. Their links used to get posted on the fedi, but that doesn't happen much anymore because too many people know about what happened.
Why do you continue to act like you have no idea what's going on?

We like the way Homer presents his arguments, because it avoids some of the rather tired approaches of FOSS advocates. He assigns financial value to the risks, using the established measurement of Return on Security Investment [PDF]. He uses the Crowdstrike outage from last July as a comparison. For instance, what if a US administration instructed Microsoft to refuse service to everyone in certain countries or even regions?
\
He tries to put some numbers on this, and they are worryingly large. He looks at estimated corporate Microsoft 365 usage worldwide, and how relatively few vendors offer pre-installed Linux systems. He considers the vast market share of Android on mobile devices compared to everything else, with the interesting comparison that there are more mobile phone owners than toothbrush owners. However, every Android account is all but tied to at least one Google account – another almost unavoidable US dependency.

The Polish project astronaut is the second of a new generation of European astronauts to fly on a commercial human spaceflight opportunity with Axiom Space.
