Saudi Children's Show Teaches Muslim Children to HATE Christians and Jews
A Textbook Case of Intolerance Changing the world one schoolbook at a time. By Anne Applebaum Because they are so clearly designed for the convenience of large testing companies, I had always assumed that multiple-choice tests, the bane of any fourth grader's existence, were a quintessentially American phenomenon. But apparently I was wrong.Governed by Callous Children
We're Governed by Callous Children Americans feel increasingly disheartened, and our leaders don't even notice. The new economic statistics put growth at a healthy 3.5% for the third quarter.Your Holiday Story....
We had all had those holidays which stand out in our memories. It may be a fabulous memory which makes us all warm and fuzzy inside, to be compared to every future memory and be measured by it. We all have those holiday memories we'd like to forget---like the year both my Mom and my Aunt felt they had to be the one cooking the turkey and my Mom's turkey imploded. (Seriously...it became a heap of bones and the meat sort of disintegrated)
As children we had ideas about sugar plums just as much as we anticipated the tooth fairy...probably more. Later in life as we married and somehow combined families, and our family traditions changed. We created new memories together. We have had that gift we thought was going to rock someone's world which turned out to be as exciting as a flat tire.
There are those of us that prayed, pleaded, and made deals with God (or whoever else was listening) to just this one time....get that one thing or to be able to give that one great thing which would change our relationship with someone.
Of course there are also those times when we all thought "What the heck was this person thinking" when we opened a gift which astounded us. An example of this was someone close to me, her mother-in-law gave her a retractable clothesline one year, a sink hair strainer the next, and it just went even further down hill after that. (I am not kidding) And yes, we try to remember holiday seasons are about giving, not receiving....but still "What the heck!"
Children’s book teaches kids about mommy’s plastic surgery
Don’t you ever sit in the library and think, “This is alright, but what we really need are some books about plastic surgery for kids.” No? Odd. I’m pretty sure most of us have come upon this common problem: how do we explain our new breasts, our oddly arched eyebrows, or our creaseless faces to our four-year-olds?
U.S. not ready to help children in disasters
WASHINGTON — Most of the country is poorly prepared to help children if disaster strikes, Federal Emergency Management Agency Director Craig Fugate told a Senate committee Tuesday. "We've historically looked at special populations as an afterthought," Fugate said. "Children are not small adults."Children's Parliament Sets an Example for India's Politicians
When the Little Ones Run the Show VARANASI, India, May 13 -- As one of the most popular political figures in this impoverished northeastern Indian city, Tazim Ali fields round-the-clock cellphone calls about such everyday problems as child hunger, domestic violence and caste discrimination. The only thing that's unusual is that Tazim is 9. He's the 4-foot-tall president of the Varanasi children's parliament, the first body of its kind in India, which -- with 75 percent of its population younger than 35 -- is one of the world's most youthful nations.Caught Caring: Victoria Beckham and Save the Children USA
Although she made her name as Posh Spice in the Spice Girls, Victoria Beckham was in anything but posh surroundings earlier this month during a two-day trip to Clay County, Kentucky. Visiting on behalf of Save the Children USA and accompanied by her 10 ½-year-old son Brooklyn Joseph, Victoria was on hand to gain a better understanding of childhood poverty in the United States.
By her own account, the trip was both eye-opening and inspirational.
KRXQ Sacramento Radio Hosts Encourage Violence Against Children
This article is particularly disgusting and it's about three adults on a radio show who encourage violence against transgender children. I didn't include transgender in the title of the post because I don't think it matters. I hope most of us agree that violence against children is disgusting and an inappropriate route to any sort of treatment...period.Give to Children`s Charities This Holiday Season Without Spending a Cent
