Should Schools Be Teaching Children About Sexuality? (My opinion)
Greetings to my fellow human beings, today we shall discuss a topic that has been a raging debate these last couple of weeks: 'Should sexuality be taught in schools?' Now, before I start, I would like to say that by 'schools' I mean elementary/junior high schools. In the U.S., there has been a couple of protests, mainly in California, about this topic. An example would be the protests being held by both parents, and the LGBTQ community in Glendale, California. To sum it up, an elementary school was going to hold a pride parade, and the parents of these children weren't happy with it. It started as a peaceful protest, the parents were protesting against the topic being forced upon their children, and then it grew violent. Arrests were made and the pride event still happened.

The Sadly Authoritarian Nature of the Modern Workplace
People often glamorize the life of a boss. This was the appeal of Donald Trump's reality TV show, The Apprentice (and for some, his presidency in general). He had people present to him their ideas, and ultimately, with his infamous catchword, "You're Fired," he got to decide if they were worth his time.

President "Can't Understand" Government
February 5th (Washington, D.C.) – Who is in the President’s Cabinet? Amazingly, it is a question that has never been answered because the “Cabinet” is not an organization that was created by the Constitution or any law. The only relevant clause of the Constitution (Article 2 § Section 2 § Clause 1) says that the President may require the opinion of the “principal Officer in each of the executive Departments, upon any Subject relating to the Duties of their respective Offices....” President George Washington interpreted this to mean he could create a working committee that regularly advised him, and it has been a tradition maintained by every subsequent President since then.

Boris: Resigns That's It.
Who would have thought that the career of one the most controversial MPs would have ended like this? Boris Johnson the MP for Uxbridge (or should I say ex-MP) was someone you either loved or loathed. Boris's greatest triumph perhaps was when he won a landslide in 2019. However, had it not been for the issue of Breixt would Boris have won? Or indeed, have an 80-seat majority in parliament?

SUICIDE OF THE WEST
“If you can’t speak the truth without losing your job or being assaulted, you’re trapped in a dictatorship. If you can’t represent a political cause without being threatened with physical harm or permanently defamed and denied employment, then you’ve been immured within a fascist crypt.”
