** QUOTE OF THE WEEK

"A child of welfare, I can tell you that an overreliance on government assistance has deprived millions of children of the love and security they would have gotten from a family with two parents."
– Kay Cole James, President, The Heritage Foundation
** TWO TRUTHS & A LIE:
PAID FAMILY LEAVE & LOW-INCOME FAMILIES ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
**
Can you spot the lie about paid family leave for low-income families below?
------------------------------------------------------------

B: Studies of existing entitlement-based family leave programs have found that these initiatives typically redistribute income from high- and middle-income families to low-income families.
C: There are alternatives to existing entitlements that would provide support without backfiring on the most vulnerable families or unfairly burdening those with no plans to use the benefit.

Meet Kristy Swanson, Hollywood's Brave, New Conservative Actress
------------------------------------------------------------
Actress Kristy Swanson was known for slaying vampires as Buffy Summers in the 1992 hit movie, “Buffy the Vampire Slayer.” Now, she's slaying those who condemn or chastise conservatives.
Swanson seems to find an element of catharsis in finally speaking her mind. She tweeted recently: “So many folks have asked me, ‘How can you be open about your political views in front of Hollywood?’ The answer for me is a simple one. I’ve spent 39 years in an acting career pretending to be somebody else. Why would I not be who I really am in my own personal life?”

------------------------------------------------------------

Quality ethnic studies courses should provide students with valuable information about the history, language, art, and economies of a variety of cultures.

Millions of women, who, like Bushnell at 25, failed to look ahead and consider what they may want and need at 60, now must live with these decisions.
