Miraculously, the 2 Rs were handwriting experts who tried to throw out every vote from our left leaning townships. They even admitted that they had breakfast with the State Republican chair that morning and were trained how to challenge and throw out votes. And they were told which townships leaned left. But they knew most of the people anyway, small towns. In Iowa, I vote on Election Day. 2024-11-04T16:14:56Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsx2n5f9eywmcqxn4flt4yfnsx99999k79wpa4pa7t5yscnrqkfnegzyrrusxxw5jefw8vs76eem5pkskqjsv57udl37u5tgt0k3305a4k67q9fez5 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqswmfxz9mpq6sw3ggm3vpulldf6wxp6c258nzgyrasnlnny3rysgaqx6m3ld'>nevent1q…m3ld</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I taught for 38 years, retired 3 years ago. Teachers are afraid to teach what many conservative parents would object to. Especially now with cell phones capable of recording them. It started over 30 years ago in Iowa when Republicans didn&#39;t want standards-based education because it contained standards on community and equity and environmental issues. They wanted their kids to just learn to read and do math, period. 2024-08-04T19:05:59Z
