You may want to arth this one, it will be at a school near you.
Paging Rick Perry. Governor Rick Perry. Your check is waiting...
Par for the course....
This ping list is for the “other” articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
Why don’t they get off their rumps and approve the new Primatene inhalers so I don’t have to get a script for my kid’s needs when the crappy albuterol pos’s run out on a Friday night and only have to pay $15 for the product and not a $20 deductible.
One of the first suspicious approvals led by the Obama Regime was to OK artificial sweeteners. I look at that with a jaundiced eye. :(
After using the children of Texas as guinea pigs...
La Raza Rick Perry’s nipples just exploded.
What's worse is, his liberal supporters here at FR defended it!
Thankfully, the Texas legislature bitch slapped him and overturned it.
RINO Rick must have really gotten smarter with those glasses.
Rick Perry reverses himself, calls HPV vaccine mandate a ‘mistake’.
Yeah, and I’ll bet something else belonging to the illegal lover, LaRaza Ricarrdo Perrynista, ‘popped’ also. Don’t worry though, his little fan girls will be by soon to tell us all how wrong we are. Then they will explain to us this comment out of his New World Order proponent yap..........that Hillary Clinton was a great Secretary of State!!!
