There’s a difference between an LPN, an RN, etc. Some nurses do have doctorates, which yeah, might be about the same amount of education that a doctor typically gets.

There’s a perception that nurses are “lesser” than doctors - but nursing is fundamentally a different skill set.

 

The bill, initially approved by Parliament in February 2024 with bipartisan backing, proposed a three-year jail term for persons who identify as gay and five to 10 years for those who promote or advocate LGBTO+ activities.

I suspect this is going on in some Oklahoma school districts - I believe that some districts are actively trying to hire uncertified candidates. There is a drastic shortage, but many districts are surprisingly “choosy” - almost intentionally seeking the ability to claim they couldn’t find someone so they can “emergency certify” someone who won’t question orders/join unions.

There’s just something off, and the state is corrupt as all hell.

Hiring based on merit?

Look at local news comment sections of Facebook.

People like that he’s a garbage human being. Everyone is like a twelve year old now, they like seeing the bully/strongman shit on people.

I’m certified in special education and spent two hours of my day today teaching an adult how to do subtraction. I’ve worked with kids with Down syndrome. I entirely believe that it would be possible for 95% of students, if given the appropriate support, to learn how to take a simple derivative and have some vague understanding of what they did. It just takes visuals, good use of real world examples and metaphor, and patience.

 

In Oklahoma, the requirement usually is up to “algebra 2” - this is mostly domain and range, finding roots of polynomials, and logarithms.

IMHO, the world would be better if calculus was a required part of the high school curriculum. Like yeah, most people aren’t going to need the product rule in day to day life, but the fundamental ideas about rates of change seem like they’re something that everyone human deserves to be exposed to.

You may ask why Judas didn’t get a book? He wrote one. But it was not included because he was the traitor who betrayed Jesus.

More that it was a weird heretical Gnostic text. And extremely doubtful that it would have been Judas who wrote it - really seems more like a second century text. There are tons of pseudepigraphal gospels floating around.

I imagine it would be against abortion, for example, since the act of a married het couple is an act of God and the fetus would have a soul. It would be less sure if the parents were not married, but I think it would still be against it.

See the ordeal of the bitter water for what the Bible has to say on abortion.

Give him a nice shiny statue, then take it away and give it to Obama after further consideration, because Obama has admitted to fantasizing about men.

Guarantee it would lead to him raving about how much better he is at having sex with men.

Some of the apocryphal gospels seem really embarrassed about the idea of Mary being a commoner/spinning clothes for money.

There are very old rumors about Jesus being the son of a Roman soldier who raped Mary.

There’s probably something we can peer at, through a glass darkly, about her somewhere there.

The industry is a black pit of hell. It’s amazing, daycares are be regulated, have accreditations, oversight, mandatory reporting laws…but not these places. All you seem to need is a facility.

They fuck you up in an indelible way. It gives you an immediate distrust for most advice/mental health care/institutions. It gives you permanent issues with self esteem. People also assume that you must have deserved it somehow, that kids only get sent to these places for some kind of “tough love.” You get the life long “this person is crazy; you don’t have to believe them when they say they are being exploited” tag.

It’s not uncommon to have a sneeze reflex when aroused.

 

Today, Governor Kevin Stitt granted clemency to Tremane Wood. Afterwards, he met with his attorneys for several hours, then began the process of moving off death row. During a routine check, Wood was found unresponsive in his cell by a correctional officer. While settling into his new cell, Wood experienced a medical event that resulted in injuries. Out of extreme caution, ODOC transported Wood to a nearby hospital for further examination. It was determined that Wood’s medical event occurred due to dehydration and stress.

During a phone call with Chief of Public Relations Kay Thompson, Wood confirmed that he '[felt] fine now' and that he 'can't really explain what happened.' He stated that he laid down to sleep and 'must have rolled off his bunk.' The next thing he remembers is waking 'up in the infirmary with [his] head busted and [his] lip busted.' Wood said that the last time he ate or drank anything was during his 'last meal' at 5:22 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 12. He also confirmed that no one else was in his cell at the time of the medical event and that he did not do anything intentionally to cause it. After returning from the hospital, Wood spoke with his family and spiritual advisor," Oklahoma Department of Corrections officials wrote in a statement Thursday night.
