    The money belongs to the citizen/voter taxpayers (who are not 1:1 parents of current school aged children) who have, over time, opted to support public institutions that serve those children & their communities more broadly.This is just ignorant, soundbite garbage!

    I’ll start with I’m the youngest group of Gen X. Next, I’m also a woman working on her 2nd PhD. I love learning 🤷‍♀️. I’m not into microwaved food. Gross. What’s Bumble, based on the title, I’m guessing I’m not into anything that’s defined as awkward. I do like cats and my husband!

    How many of the women rallying against overturning Roe are over-educated, under-loved millennials who sadly return from protests to a lonely microwave dinner with their cats, and no bumble matches?

    The truth is that Black, LGBTQ, and other marginalized people have been fighting alone for too long. That’s how we got here. Honestly, I’m sorry I’m late. To all the other people like me, it’s our turn. We’re late, but we’re not too late. Let’s go. 💪

    The recently fired superintendent said scholarships were given to wealthy families, a former superintendent on a 6-figure salary, out-of-county families, and alleged some internal investigators were also recipients. (I worked late last night.)
