The pervasive indoctrination she had railed against simply did not exist. Children were not being sexualized, and she could find no examples of critical race theory, an advanced academic concept that examines systemic racism. She’d examined curriculum related to social-emotional learning, which has come under attack by Christian conservatives who say it encourages children to question gender roles and prioritizes feelings over biblical teachings. Instead, Gore found the materials taught children “how to be a good friend, a good human.”

It’s interesting that though the total number of fediverse users went up by 70000 in the past month, the number of monthly active users dropped by 60000. If I’m reading that right, 10% (130k) of all active accounts went inactive over the past month.

"At the end of 2023, Americans were paying at least 30% more for beef, pork, and poultry products than they were in 2020.
