Re: “Former government lawyers say we need to limit the president's ability to deploy U.S. troops at home”

In my own state’s education budget a great deal of money comes from federal grants (often in the form of buildings). Along with that money comes federal control.

Re: The danger of “LGBT” teachers.

Ah, yes, very dangerous to have a democracy where the people’s elected representatives set policy.
