So now MAGA wants to pay to teach kids how to shoot a bow and arrow?

No problems in my HS gym class. Was a lot of fun.

I was excused from gym when I in was in high school in the early 1960s.
I got an extra study period.

Physical education in public school was a mandated state law
unless one was physically challenged [then called handicapped]
and got a physical deferment from one's doctor.

However, athletes on the school teams were excused from gym during the season that their sport was active.

Some played football / basketball or hockey /and baseball all year round and didn't have to take physical education at all.

I didn't play on ANY school teams at all but went to the boxing gym daily and thus demanded to be excused as well.

They didn't even give me trouble over it.

I'm not sure about gym class. Good health is important, but can we afford to take time away from academics for it?
I'd let kids work out on their own time, but there's no full consensus on that.

No one was excused from gym, unless with medical cause at my HS in the 60s-70s.

Most guys who wanted out were just too embarrassed to shower with other guys in a giant, open shower room.

Wusses.


Extra study hall? WTF?

Much rather be outside as much as possible.

Got a letter of commendation from the National Merit Scholar Program for my SAT score. Gym didn't hurt me too much, apparently, and archery was great.

So people who had to go to football practice after school were still expected to go to gym?

That makes no sense to me, but rules vary from place to place, I imagine.

I must admit, you did on an occasion or two, but no more. You never liked me on Amazon and the feud between us Amazon immigrants is why I had my thread deleted (good thing I didn't just have it closed). Do you recall why I left Goodreads? I sure do.

Nope. In fact, I don't even recall that you had been there. So I "never liked" you. You sound like a petulant five year old. Are there any reasons why I should? You've called me vile names, joined in dogpiles with your gossip grrrls, accused me of attacking your father despite the evidence I've presented that I did not, posted racist shit, bragged about killing animals that you don't eat (including a neighbor's pet), and you love you some #TRE45ON. The only good thing I can say about you is that you are good to your mother.
 
Good to one's mother has to count for something, I would imagine.

The Avatar didn't seem to miss her biological mom very much at all when we brought her home.
She appointed the Gestapo and myself as her parents
with full responsibility for her comfort and contentment.

Didn't even ask if we were ok with it.

I sure was, before PMP was there. Doi you deny calling me a racist simply because I voted for Trump? Bet you forget Phan did also.
Despite evidence? What evidence? That was long ago, and like so many other posts, you and the arrogant asshole deleted those posts.
I help out farmers by eliminating rodents that destroy bean fields and dig holes that break farm equipment. Yep, I shot a cat over 40 years ago. So what? You gonna cry?
Love Trump? No, not at all. What makes you say that? Again, just because I voted for him over Biden? Silly accusations just make you look silly.
I sure as hell am not responsible for voting for the major screw up that is Joe Biden & the Ho. He's made the most powerful nation look like weak wimps. That is sad.
Yep, I take care of my 96 yr. old mother. She has no family left but me. Why would I let her down? Why other kids walk away from their elderly parents is pitiful.

You adopted the avatar at a very young age. You became it's parents and caretaker. That is a noble gesture. I can relate.

It's not just DC. It's everywhere. Look at PA, for example ( don't blame me!)

”Republicans unveil effort to claw back school funds Biden admin is holding over hunting, archery classes”

“FIRST ON FOX: A group of House Republicans led by Rep. Claudia Tenney, R-N.Y., are unveiling legislation to reverse the Biden administration's crackdown on school hunting education and archery programs nationwide.”

“Tenney — joined by Reps. Russ Fulcher, R-Idaho, Jim Banks, R-Ind., and Brandon Williams, R-N.Y. — plans to introduce the Protecting Hunting and Archery in Schools Act, which would remove the current federal restriction on funding hunting and archery programs.”

“The Biden administration continues to advance its radical anti-Second Amendment agenda by prohibiting ESEA funding for archery and shooting sports programs”

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/re...s-biden-admin-holding-hunting-archery-classes

Their constantly bitching on how schools suck yet they want to pay to teach kids how to shoot arrows, and the best part is that suddenly this is now a Second Amendment issue

And the MAGA militia eats up all this shit propagandized by Murdoch to make a buck

And-?
