Thank you to everyone who’s helped us so far. We’re one month into life in western Illinois and just ran out of propaneβ€”no heat, hot water, or cooking. A refill is about $800. If you’re able to help us get heating fuel, we’d be deeply grateful.

I am so sick of the right of center democratic leadership. For decades the democrats have been drifting conservative and now we have the republican party of the 1950s and 60s. I want real liberals in charge, please.

Cursive returns to New Jersey classrooms under new state law The new state law mandates cursive instruction in grades 3 to 5, beginning this fall.

It is about time. Studies show that cursive writing helps with knowledge retention.
