🚨#BREAKING: A mother is FURIOUS after a Pennsylvania town CRIMINALLY CHARGED her two little girls, ages 10 and 12, and dragged them into court... ...because a playground swing broke while they were spinning on it. Yes, you read that right. The two girls twisted the chains to get dizzy, the chain snapped, and the borough's response was CRIMINAL MSCHIEF CHARGES for a 10-year-old. This is Springdale, Pennsylvania, just outside Pittsburgh. On May 21st, a group of kids were playing at Veterans Memorial Park where two sat on the swing and the others twisted the chains up tight and let go, so the swing would spin them dizzy. Every one of us did this as a kid... hundreds of times. The chain broke. Nobody was hurt. Two weeks later, a POLICE OFFICER showed up at Katie Huss's front door with SURVEILLANCE PHOTOS of the children on a swing. The borough had split the repair bill among five kids. $59 dollars each. Three families paid up and their kids' charges disappeared. Katie demanded more information: "Show me the evidence my daughters did this on purpose and show me the swing was even inspected prior to this occuring." She didn't pay and so her 10 and 12-year-old daughters were CHARGED WITH A CRIME. Criminal mischief. BY the way... under Pennsylvania's criminal code, that is a charge that requires INTENT. The two little girls were terrified and had to sit in a courtroom while a police officer testified against them for "not using the swing properly." Thankfully, the judge threw it out and found them not guilty. It was CLEARLY an accident, not a crime. ...you would think it would end there, but it doesn't!!! The borough is now threatening to sue this mother in CIVIL court over $180. And Katie still hasn't been allowed to see the video they used against her children, it was shown to the lawyers, but not to the mom. Nearly every single day, violent repeat offenders WALK OUT OF JAIL ALL THE TIME to prey on innocent people... ...but INSTEAD of dealing with that, we have built a system that lets predators go and prosecutes children for playing AT A PARK USING SURVEILLANCE FOOTAGE TO WATCH THEM America, we have LOST THE FREAKING PLOT!!!!

You can't make this shit up!
Trump mispronounces “cognitive” while demanding tests for presidential candidates: "I mean, you get a guy who gets in there, he's got a good line of crap. He gets in, and all of a sudden, you're stuck with a man who's a moron."

I keep seeing these educational influencers try to argue that critical thinking skills cannot be taught. Which I think is false. Of course you can teach critical thinking skills. criticalthinking.org/

I guess it is confirmed! I will be the keynote speaker for the Annual Conference for Restorative Practices Ireland in Dublin in October. Can't wait to see some of my friends in person for a change.

No kid should sit in a classroom hungry❌ Today at John Wallace Middle School in Newington, I’m urging the CT General Assembly to include $12.5M in the state budget for free breakfast for every K-12 student — and free lunch for those who qualify. Let’s get this done.

I do *not* want an AI "summary" of an email, or a book, or a life. I do not want an AI summary of a winter sky, or my father's hands, or the hope in my child's eyes. I do not want an AI summary of the human heart, or the first little shiver of lust, or the long good work of love.
