People. PLEASE read this. And make sure to share it with your friends, especially conservative ones, who eagerly spread fake news believing it's true. Start with anyone who believed or shared that Denver Guardian story.

False, Misleading, Clickbait-y, and Satirical “News” Sources

Jesus Was a Protester

WWJD? He'd be down with #BlackLivesMatter and anti-Trump protestors. Here's why... "When Jesus stormed into the temple courts, interrupted the proceeding by overturning tables, yelling, and driving both people and animals out of the room using a whip, he was condemning the greed and corruption of religious hypocrites — because Jesus was a protester (John 2:13-25)."

Trump and advisers hedge on major pledges, including Obamacare and the wall

Some people will say it was all campaign rhetoric. But those were the promises upon which he built his path to the Presidency. Who wants to break the news to the more extreme end of his voter base that he was "jk, jk"? Not ME, I assure you. This is a country you're playing with. And it is one that the rest of the free world looks to as an example of what freedom can look like. We have already become the laughing stock of the entire planet. Now we get to watch as he changes his story minute-to-minute, like an incorrigible child who got caught being naughty. I'm still scared as hell for our country and the world.

Let’s Rise to Love Those Left in Fear

If you are a Christian, PLEASE read this and heed its call. If you are not a Christian, please consider reading it to see that some Christians actually are calling on others to do what's right, and what they are commanded by Jesus to do, which is to love one another and bear each other's burdens. "If we see a dear friend struggling and staggering with a heavy load of groceries out of the back of his car, is our first instinct to say, “That isn’t a load you should be carrying”? Hopefully not. Let’s hope that our first response is to run over and grab part of the load to help lighten the burden."

What I Really Want to Ask at All Those Parent-Teacher Conferences

Very soon, I will once again sit on both sides of that table, at different times in the same week. I've been happy, for the most part, with how these go when I'm in the parent chair. I get the sense that my son's teachers like him as a person and that he is respectful to them and enjoys the time they spend together, regardless of his grades. I hope the parents who come see me as their child's teacher or advisor get the sense that I really enjoy their kids and see great things in each one of them. It can feel like a stressful part of the job (both as educator and parent), but it is also one of the most enjoyable (when it goes well).

Memorizers are the lowest achievers and other Common Core math surprises - The Hechinger Report

"Part of the problem in the U.S. is the desperation of many parents to advance their children in math, pushing them to higher levels of math faster and sooner, somehow believing that a resume packed with advanced math courses will guarantee their future. Bill Jacob, a mathematics professor at the University of California, Santa Barbara, speaks openly about the dangers of students being pushed to higher levels of mathematics too soon. “I know it is hard to persuade parents that their students shouldn’t race to get calculus, but I really wish they wouldn’t. Too much content and depth is left out when they do.” said Jacob, who is not alone in saying that he would rather have students in his university mathematics courses that have breadth in their mathematical experiences than any additional Advanced Placement courses."
