If I was a parent in SF I’d be beyond pissed Where I’m at, we have kids doing 7th Grade Algebra and Zooming (or Teams-ing) geometry in the 8th Grade with middle-schoolers in the District. (Formerly, they’d have to go to the high school, then back to the middle school for the rest of the day. Also, belongs in the “bragging on my school district’s kids” thread.) ---

If you’re kneeling to a flag bearing a cross, then it’s OK. Otherwise, you’re being disrespectful to God the flag. ---

Not super political, but maybe slightly… Minnesota has a new state flag, or more precisely is expected to have one on their anniversary of statehood. I like it better than their old one but a friend up North says some Minnesotans are quite upset about it. 🤷‍♀️ > **[Minnesota unveils new state flag design](https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-67778942)** > > It features a white eight-pointed star against a dark blue background shaped like the state. ---

> [@twig93](#): > > Minnesotans are quite upset about it. Because Minnesotans need to be upset about _something_.
