Two Michigan Republican Tea Party members may win the title for biggest hypocrites. Michigan representatives Todd Courser and Cindy Gamrat hid their extramarital affair behind the gay hookup Courser supposedly had with a male prostitute, reported the Grand Haven Tribune on August 19. The staunch conservatives both eschew LGBT issues and have pushed for Bible-based values--gays not included--in Michigan law. So they pontificate against homosexuality, yet Courser used it to his own ends when he needs it. Facepalm! Both representatives want to see extremist rightist Christian morality at the forefront of political agenda all the while carrying on a relationship that is 50 shades of immoral in Christian teaching, and actually kinda immoral in most all ideologies! Double facepalm!! Republicans Todd Courser, Cindy Gamrat hid affair as the gay hookup they eschewRepublicans Todd Courser, Cindy Gamrat hid affair behind gay hookup they eschew

Free Printable Handwriting Practice Pages and Penmanship Lesson Plans - Bubblews
I grew up, as did most parents, in an age when handwriting was more important in schools. But now, with so much emphasis on computer, penmanship is barely touched on. Typing has replaced pen/pencil writing. As an educator, I'm not convinced perfect penmanship is vital. But basic legible writing is. Workplaces still rely on a lot of handwritten messages.Parents, do you bemoan your kid's unreadable writing? How about links for free printable handwriting practice worksheets he can practice at home? Print manuscript, print and cursive practice pages. Use for spelling, phonics and reading too.

Free Printable Immunization Waiver Forms for School
Each U.S. state has its own laws regarding school immunizations and vaccine requirements. But parents have the right to waive immunizations and vaccines for their children. Schools cannot keep your child out if you refuse to immunize. Here are free printable vaccination waiver forms.http://experimentalvaccines.org/vaccine-exemption-forms/ has compiled links to free printable school immunization waiver forms on a state by state basis. Some forms are printed in other languages to help families of different ethnic backgrounds.
Why waive child immunizations? For one thing, the term 'immunization' is a misnomer. The correct term is vaccine. A matter of semantics? No. To refer to a vaccine as an immunization gives the impression that the child is protected carte blanche from getting whatever disease he is being immunized against. This is not the case. First of all, a vaccine simply puts the virus into the child's body. It the vaccine uses a dead virus, the potency is often in question. If the vaccine administers a dose of the live virus into the child's body, there are many more health risks.Some vaccines are used to treat extinct diseases, which simply perpetuates a disease that was eradicated ages ago.
However, my purpose persuade or dissuade parents from vaccinating their children. That is a personal family matter that each parent must decide upon for themselves. What I want to make clear is that you have the right as a parent to decide without fear of impunity from schools. Your child may not be allowed, by private organizations, to participate in activities without being vaccinated. Our daughter couldn't volunteer as a hospital candy striper without having certain shots. But p
ublic institutions like schools can't discriminate.
You will be discouraged, most likely, by your local school and health department for choosing to waive immunizations. Schools, doctors offices, medical centers and health departments rarely provide resources for parents to sign and print vaccination waiver forms. So I share these links.
