Amie Beth Shaver: Of 'furries,' and speaking up for our kids

I asked about the teachers. She said they don't, or won't, say anything to the furries. A furry? Meaning, a kid who identifies as an animal and can dress like it, too? Yes. A furry. At a school near you.

Amie Beth Shaver: Is this really OK?

Why did our Alabama Unfiltered podcast get yanked from YouTube after an hour? Last week, we interviewed Dr. David Williams of Tuscaloosa and a Concerned Doctors board member. He gave us a “where things stand” with covid, update. He told the truth. Why wasn't that ok?

Amie Beth Shaver: Homeschool

Do you have your kids' textbooks or access them no matter your school situation? Are you reading what they're reading? Do you know their teachers? Are you talking through what they're learning? Are you prepared to challenge your child, equipping them to defend their beliefs - even in private or Christian schools? Are you doing this?
