Oklahoma’s State Superintendent Requires Public Schools to Teach the Bible
  • Yes and no. In world history you typically learn about the rise of different religions and their affect on the world. Knowing the 10 commandments could help teach this for its historical significance. At the same time teaching children the 10 commandments to indoctrinate them to a certain religion is definitely illegal. It's a hard thing to prove/disprove. A good teacher would teach the 10 commandments and similar beliefs in other major religions. Teachers are wildly underpaid and under supported in the the USA so "good teachers" are sometimes difficult to find.

  • Supreme Court allows camping bans targeting homeless encampments
  • Almost every state has some form of law outlawing homelessness. https://homelesslaw.org/first-national-study-of-state-laws-criminalizing-homelessness-released/ The USA is a diverse place and homelessness affects different areas differently.

  • Why doesn’t Paddington, who is famously from "Darkest Peru," speak with a Spanish speaker’s accent?
  • I've done a lot of research into the Paddington Cinematic Universe and it is cannon that Paddington's bear family was a ruling class in a Peruvian bear apartheid system. In a move to separate themselves from the lesser undesirable bears they spoke with an English accent. Paddington is told that his parents died in an "earthquake" when he was very young but they were actually publicly executed during the warring states period following the fall of apartheid Peruvian bear society. It's the systematic advantages that still existed in the new Democratic Bears Republic of Peru that allowed Paddington to gain enough marmalade to grow up strong and move abroad.

  • 70% of Cybersecurity Pros Often Work Weekends
  • There are no bad employees only bad managers, or some karate kid nonsense like that. I had a job where I was "on call" 24/7 with no one else as alternates. I kept getting in trouble for not being available on the weekend when they called me. Most of the other employees I worked with in similar positions admitted to drinking every night that way they couldn't get called in after hours. I quit that job quick.
