Texas ranks 42nd in funding for students in public education. If legislators care about excellence, we should be in the top 10, not the lower. Texas has the 8th largest economy IN THE WORLD, so let’s put our money were it counts…students are our future!
I am a high school student. Although this order doesn't directly affect me as much, I find it ridiculous. Since COVID the youth have developed certain study habits revolving around devices, going from only able to communicate with friends and even doing work and school completely on a device to not being able to use it at all is destroying the youths ability to be able to communicate with each other the only way they know how to from COVID. And with the new times, students have developed their own ways to study through technology. I personally use my iPad and Laptop to take notes and study throughout the halls using my phone. Also, most of my friends don't even go to my school, and I contact and talk to them through my phone, especially through school. In conclusion, I find this report to be absolutely ridiculous, and firmly believe there are better methods to reduce mental health.
The petition is important to emphasize that colleges and universities need to push back promptly and clearly against any proposed or real student or faculty action that encourages and justifies antisemitism.
There is absolutely NO justification for allowing antisemitism to be expressed or activated on any college or university campus!!
If we don’t speak up, we’ll have to sell our homes. If we don’t speak up, we’ll have to take our kids out of public schools. If we don’t speak up, crime will continue to rise.
I grew up here. This is my home.
Taxing the joy out of Washington and pushing people out of their own Party.
The senate just released a new report detailing rampant corruption in the Supreme Court, where they are blatantly taking bribes from billionaires to sell out the American people and the constitution of the United States. Those involved should be impeached, and a Code of Ethics should be enforced. They must abide by the same ethics code that we enforce with every other judge in this country.
American Imperialism leads to people believing terrible things could never happen in America. However, manifest destiny was hardly any different from building an empire, and the atrocities committed against indigenous people was hardly any different than how Jews were treated in Germany. What has happened to other countries has already happened to us, things could easily become dire.
I won't attempt to speak for others, but I do believe others agree with me when I say that I feel endangered by the rising fascist government. The Cascadian people have been underrepresented in America time and time again, and have watched a government system that is just plain broken drag everyone to the pits of political polarization. Cascadian secession can solve these issues, while simultaneously promoting a more sustainable way of life.
As a first gen Taiwanese American whose family came from both sides of the Taiwan Strait (Hong Kong & Taiwan), I will not stay silent while Darren spews CCP propaganda and blatantly disregards the human rights of the 23 million people of Taiwan. I felt ashamed that I did not speak out during the 2019 Hong Kong protests and I will not make the same mistake again. I honestly cannot believe I have to sign a petition for a matter such as this.
Dismissing Taiwan’s significance as “nothing to gain or lose” overlooks the complex interplay of strategic, economic, and ideological factors at stake. A secure and prosperous Taiwan is intrinsically linked to US national interests and global stability. Protecting Taiwan is not only about maintaining a balance of power in the region—it’s about safeguarding the values and systems that underpin our collective future.
There are people like Musk sitting on HOW MUCH money while I'm sitting over here wondering how I'm gonna afford the insulin (which costs more than my rent) to keep me alive.
