with treating everyone with respect -- equally, and including them in our lives -- inclusion, and recognizing that we all come from diverse backgrounds?

This story was pitifully sad. And every day it becomes more evident that djt (also Ron DeSantis who started this muckraking) is a petty, ignorant, miserable human being. He's endlessly unhappy and doesn't want anyone else to be happy, either.

is all they bring to the table. That’s all they got going on. They have no intelligence, no talents, just white skin and a penis.

Highlighting the students and their talent. I bet ketchup was thrown at Mar-a-Lardo last night.

rebroadcasts the 60 minutes segments at night and as I was dozing off in bed with the radio on down low, I heard this unbelievable but expected crap. Even Scott Pelley couldn't keep the disappointment out of his voice.

Back in the late 1960's to early 70's I took trumpet lessons from and old man that played in John Phillip Sousa's band. I bet he was in his 70's and he was a fantastic horn player.
