Could be that was the only place her parents would send her. I know an evangelical family who gave their kid two options: the local community college for two years followed by a state school, or Liberty U. Or, he could go into debt to go elsewhere.

I think it’s more likely that Evangelical parents are telling their kids that unless go to some hell hole like Bob Jones they’ll be paying for college themselves.

I would assume a lot of these students are young, from evangelical families and don’t have much say in the matter. 

BTW, most Michigan counties have independent or semi-independent County Road Commission whose only purpose is to maintain, you guessed it, designated county roads, which are typically in the townships. The boards are either elected or appointed by the county government. Five more urban counties have collapsed the road…

The story actually gets even worse. I need you guys to see this.

This guy starts whining about being "cancelled" in 3, 2, 1....

Same, Im the black sheep in my family for thinking trump is a horrible, racist grifter. Its gotten to the point where they lie to me and claim they dont watch the news anymore (despite letting things they have been told by fox personalities slip).

Yes because they have been taught to not have empathy for these people by generations of their ancestors. They’ve been taught that thinking about things is a waste of time that could be better spent

This needs more stars. Most minorities believe EVERY White person is aware of their racism and priviledge afforded to them via White Supremacy. But that’s not true. Just like every man is blissfully unaware of the plights of women and cis-gendered people are ignorant to LBGTQ people’s everyday lives. But ignorance is…

BUT WHAT ABOUT *PET WEDGE ISSUE* and THE CHINESE?!?!

Kudos to you for retaining some empathy. I grew up among these people as well but have long since lost any empathy for them. Our prosperity as a nation has been off-shored - whether by literally moving jobs overseas or by moving our collective wealth into the offshore bank accounts of billionaires - largely due to…

I don’t see how “family” changes anything. I haven’t seen a single person in my family since this started. My parents are in their 70's, my brother is begin smart with his kids (the youngest has health issues) and my sisters SO also has health problems. So no one sees anyone face to face. But we’re still a family. In…

these policies are really wishes rooted in magical thinking—the idea if we get back to “normal” as quickly as possible, the pesky coronavirus problem will be solved.

They were two separate rape cases. Daisy Colman was raped in Jan 2012 in Misssouri and Audrie Pott in Sept 2012 in California.

I don’t drink but

She lost her husband, had her house burned down, her son died and now her daughter? That is unbelievably heartbreaking. How can anyone withstand that much tragedy? Is there any kind of memorial fund for Daisy?

The KCStar’s 2013 investigatory article if you want to fuel your rage-drinking.

They did. And kids in her dance class made t-shirts that said ‘Matt 1 : Daisy 0'

What is left of her family is in no way ‘ok’.  The Coleman’s lived in a small town a few miles from where I grew up.  My mom knew her dad-  he was a doctor before dying tragically in a car accident (his children were in the car as well).  They moved to Maryville to get a fresh start after he passed away.  Audrey was…

Can you tack the hotline paragraph to the bottom, please.
