Headline: PragerU Says Florida Teachers Approved to Use Its Class ‘Curriculum’

It’s the latest shakeup to Florida’s public education curriculum, which has taken a sharp conservative turn under Gov. Ron DeSantis’ leadership.

The Florida Department of Education told The Daily Beast in an email that it determined PragerU Kids’ material “aligns to Florida’s revised civics and government standards” and can be used by school districts at their discretion.

The announcement comes less than a week after the state announced middle school students would be taught that slavery was beneficial to some Black people, and as DeSantis actively cheerleads the Moms For Liberty—classified as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center—as they fight to restrict education about race and gender.

Florida’s attacks on academic freedom just got even worse.

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/aug/16/florida-ron-desantis-academic-freedom

In a years-long campaign that now seems destined to end with a third-place finish in Iowa, DeSantis reshaped Florida in his image, pursuing culture-war fights that he hoped would grab media attention and convince Republican primary voters that he was hurting their most hated enemies.
Among these was the seizure and restructuring of New College of Florida, a public liberal arts college in Sarasota that was long known in the state for its curious students, eclectic faculty and countercultural bent.

Mass Exodus at New College After DeSantis’ Conservative Takeover.

https://www.thedailybeast.com/mass-exodus-at-new-college-after-desantis-conservative-takeover

New College of Florida is in complete chaos after Gov. Ron DeSantis staged a conservative takeover of the school earlier this year. Now, with the semester’s start just weeks away, students are being greeted with housing issues, canceled classes, and missing professors. Since DeSantis appointed six new right-wing trustees to the school’s board in January, more than 40 faculty members have quit the small public college.

Rainbow Gathering July 1-7, 2024 Will Be In CALIFORNIA... Exact Location To Be Revealed June 15th... and As Soon as I Know, I'll Post Driving Directions and Maps Here...

What IS The Rainbow Gathering? For Me, It's Woodstock with Amateur Musicians and I'm in the Band... It's a Week Long Backpack Trip for Thousands of People... 

Many People put a Lot of Effort into Building Kitchens to Cook Food and We All have Giant Communal Meals... Others Build Giant Bonfires... Many People Bring Musical Instruments... Drums, Guitars, Flutes, Harmonicas... Others Teach Classes in Self Healing... Some read Tarot Cards... Whatever it is That Interests YOU is what Happens at the Gathering... Some Trade Hand Made Crafts, Crystals or Tie Dye T-Shirts... Some People Take Psychedelic Drugs and Marijuana but Alcohol is Only Allowed in the Parking Lot... AA & NA Have Meetings... Some people do Fire Dancing with Flaming Kerosene Balls on the end of short Chains... People Work Building Slit Trench Latrines and Clean Water Delivery Systems... Others work as Volunteer Doctors and Nurses... Rangers from the National Park Service are there in case you have an Emergency they Can Radio for a Medi-Vac Helicopter... 

I like bringing Extra Food to Share... Especially Small Bags of M&M Chocolate... 

And on July 4th at NOON There is a Group "OM" Chant Holding Hands... Like in the Photo Below...

Thousands of People chant OM. This photo was snapped just before I decided it was time to put away the camera and experience the event… Yes, it’s important to remember to LIVE LIFE instead of DOCUMENTING LIFE.

The Last time we had a Gathering in California was 2004... The Modoc County Site was Excellent!  Easy Walk from the Parking Lot, Easy Parking in a Large Field... Huge Main Meadow... and This Gathering Had about 20,000 people attending... WHY? Because it was Located Near Large Cities... an easy One Day Drive from LA, San Francisco, Seattle and Vancouver... Obviously THIS is What The People Want... That's the REASON so many People Showed UP! Near the Town of Likely on Highway #395.

and Marijuana is Legal in California... 

but NOT on Federal Land...

and this is Federal Land

There will be at least 2 first aid stations at this year's New Hampshire Rainbow Gathering. Thomas (Tom from Calm) will be in the parking lot, and Everybody's Medical will be inside the Gathering. We look to create a safe space and treat any health conditions that may arise. If you are interested in joining us, please contact me (Sevensong) or Teryani at the Gathering. We will try and set up an informational meeting for people to get acquainted with the first aid/wellness station.

We try and have a diversity of healthcare options. I am a clinical herbalist and will be there for most of the Gathering. We can also use an MD, especially an ER doctor after June 28, when Dr. Matthew will be leaving. But we welcome practitioners of many stripes including massage, acupuncture, herbal medicine, NPs, nurses, energy workers, and others.

I look forward to seeing you there. ~7Song

Howdy Family! A lot of the SereniTea Ridge family are unable to make it to the land this year. But still some family have expressed interest in having a recovery/sober space on the land, and it looks like Spirit is sending the energy to help make a SereniTea Ridge recovery/meeting space happen. If anyone would like to plug in with SereniTea Ridge, the family on the land could use all the support they could get to help setup the space, help facilitate recovery meetings, and be there to hold space for those seeking support.

SereniTea Ridge is plugging in and setting up near the community center cafe. For those looking to plug in, head there and ask around and let them know you’d like to help out with SereniTea Ridge. It seems the energy will be there to have meetings at noon and dark:30 on July 1,2,3, and possibly more if the energy comes together.

Also throughout the year SereniTea Ridge does weekly virtual recovery circles/meetings on zoom. Tuesdays @ 8pm Eastern on Everybody’s Zoom. And Fridays @ 6pm Eastern on Community Center Cafe zoom. If you would like to learn more and connect with the SereniTea Ridge community let us know and we can add you into the group.

Announcement for a ‘Generational Council’ at the 2023 Annual Gathering of the Rainbow Tribes.

Let there be a ‘Generational Council’ on July 2nd at 2 pm at the Community Center to discuss how the multi-generational Family that we have become can increase co-operation and wisdom-sharing across the generational eras.

Like the Jubilees that in ancient times occurred every 50 years, this is as a moment for us to consider how we have evolved generationally and how we can be better able to share the understandings that span the great-grandparent – grandparent – parent – and child branches of our unique Rainbow Family tree.

Please come and attend, regardless of which generation YOU are from. We need to combine our understandings and learnings so that 50 years from NOW we can sit together again and see further fulfillment of our hopes and dreams.

~~~~~~ (~);-} ~~~~~~

Friendly reminded to the family. In NH pot is still illegal. Make sure to have it sealed and concealed in case your pulled over or better yet have someone with a medical card in the vehicle if you can.

When you see a Law Enfarcement Officer in the Woods... Shout "7 UP!" if they have GUNS Shout "6 UP!"

~~~~~~ (~);-} ~~~~~~

Spring Council Has Come to an Agreement!

Update from spring council—— If you are arriving after dark, there is some deep, soft sand in the parking area —- buses and cars could potentially get stuck—- it is best to avoid coming in to parking area. Those of us gathered here, recommend that you park on right the shoulder on 14 Mile / Kilkinney Road (FS 15) —- until morning. Or if you chose to drive in, stay to the edge and be aware of deep, soft sand one could get stuck in.

A friendly reminder that generally speaking Facebook drama stays on Facebook and doesn't go to the gathering. Generally speaking we do much better as a family on the land than online. Generally speaking love abounds at the gathering. Please have a safe journey to the gathering. We want your smiling face in our circles.

If you plan on driving, make sure your car and driver is 100% legal-all lights work, valid insurance and registration, seat belts, car seats for children. Our government assumes that we are criminals. Please try to arrive during daylight hours as the roads into gathering sites can be tricky and we want you to arrive home safely.

If you will be sharing a ride, please meet the folks you'll be riding with at a local coffee shop, make sure you feel comfortable traveling a long distance with them, and establish the ground rules. If you are coming via bus, plane or train, try to connect up with a ride from your destination before you get there. If you are planning on hitchhiking, please travel with a buddy, only bum rides during the day and if you get a bad feeling from a ride, PLEASE don't take it. There will always be another one.

I strongly recommend you plan on arriving home in the morning - the earlier the better. If you are coming home and it's late, my best recommendation is you kick it at a campground, roadside rest area, or motel as you sit fit. Then get up at dawn and come on home. The roads into the gathering can be challenging, the signage can disappear, and you will be tired. Keep in mind that your journey really begins once you park your car. From there you'll have to hike into the gathering with your gear and try to find a place that meets your needs -- very hard to do after dark. It can easily take hours from the time you park your car until you have your tent set up. Doing it in the daytime is fun, doing it at night when you are exhausted is not my idea of a good time.

*Always* say no to requests for search, no matter what they tell you. It is not illegal for cops to lie to you, and they often will do so to get your consent to search. "You might as well give us permission, because if you do not, we will go get a warrant and you will be here for hours." This is a bluff. Don't fall for it. Their time is much more valuable than yours.

If they insist on searching over your objections, don't prevent them physically in anyway - but continue to repeat "I do not consent." Ask for names and badge numbers, write down time, place, and what happened in detail. Every little thing matters in a court of law, even the things that don't mean much to you or me. If you can, take pictures, videos, and/or tape recordings.

Also, if they ask you if you have contraband, and tell you that if you have just a little bit and give it to them that they will not search you, tell them no. Never, never, never incriminate yourself. That means don't consent to anything, don't give them anything but your license, registration, and proof of insurance, don't admit to anything. When approaching the Gathering site, remember that you're coming as friends in somebody else's back yard. Treat the local folks with the courtesy, respect and concern that they deserve as members of the Family of Humankind. Be Loving and Kind. Don't be rude, steal, trash the town, disturb the Peace, or try to "shock" people. Be mindful of others' sensitivities. Remember the original Golden Rule when dealing with BOTH Babylon AND Rainbow: Treat Others the Way you want to be treated! Please, make your journey a safe one. Don't be under the influence while driving.

Let's all get home safely.

DRIVE SAFELY!
Ignore all rumors of cancellation or organization!
Live Lightly with the Land and People!

VISION COUNSEL:

We, the individuals gathered for the 50th anniversary of the Rainbow Family of Living Light, at vision counsel, on the land, in the occupied territory known as Colorado, have come to the following consensus:

We invite all peoples, cultures, creeds, communes, adults, children, and individuals, out of love, to share in gathering for 7 days, from July 1st through the 7th, with a silent meditation for peace on July 4th, beginning harmoniously at dawn, until noon, when we gather together in a circle...

One thing Dad told me was: “Scots Wah Hey, We Wallace Bled.” In English: We are Scots. Men of William Wallace. Like in the Movie Braveheart with Mel Gibson...

He also bought me a book: “Born Fighting” by Jim Webb about the history of the Scots/Irish in America. Remember the rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd? That’s our people!

In the 1990’s I often drove around with my Dad. One time we were cruising down Vista Ave near our home and he said “At least I raised you right, that man’s son became a “Merry Prankster”…and he pointed to a neighbor’s house. I have forgotten who the boy was but I’m sure he was older than me… more like my big brother’s age. And definitely NOT Neal Cassady. He lived in a Different part of Los Gatos. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neal_Cassady

I was living in Willow Glen at that time and Working at Radio Shack and he would often come over an we would get a cup of coffee and sit on a sunshiny bus stop and “solve the problems of the world”. He often wrote letters to the editor and they usually got published in the San Jose Mercury News. One letter recommended putting a stop light on Almaden Expressway at a dangerous intersection and soon the city installed one there. Saved some lives…

My mom’s family lived in “The Heart of the Willows” and I remember going to Christmas Parties there. My uncle made apricot white lightning and I would eat an apricot, get drunk and then dance with my cousin. The adults thought it was funny to have small children experience sexual desire before puberty… HA HA! The way he made the liquor was to fill a mason jar with pitted apricots and rock candy (sugar) then pour in vodka. Set that jar on a shelf for a year and the liquid was nearly 100% alcohol.

He also went to a bar named “Chick Letty’s” during prohibition. Willow Glen was an unincorporated part of Santa Clara County just outside the border of San Jose. The laws were not enthusiastically enforced in the County… Decades later I went to the same bar and purchased illegal marijuana in the parking lot. SO, nothing has really changed… He bought illegal booze and I bought illegal reefer…

Mom’s grade school has been recycled as a Senior Center and Dad went there to participate in their bus trips to Eureka. It was a voyage to the Bear River Casino in Lolita but he just used it as a handy way to travel to see me.

One time when he visited we went on The Hammond Trail in McKinleyville to look at the Mouth of the Mad River. It is visible from a park bench there. We had a long and meaningful talk about Mom. I’m really glad that I got sober and became my Dad’s friend in the last years of his life. I was drinking heavily when Mom died and missed that event. OOPS! Mom worked as a secretary in Fisher Junior High School Library in Los Gatos and Lexington Elementary School. The kids loved and respected her. Dad proposed marriage to mom on the top of the hill behind the Novitiate in Los Gatos. There is a trail that goes to Lexington Reservoir and from the top you can see all of Santa Clara Valley. (Filled with apricot trees).

I did experience Aunt Alberta’s last years. Dad bought a Television at my Radio Shack store and we drove over to her house and installed it in her bedroom. She had a TV in the living room but when she became beridden she spent her entire time in the bedroom. I remember tht I wanted to explain to my Cousin Dianne how to use the remote control but she said hat it didn’t matter because Aunt Alberta couldn’t tell one station from another. She was taking morphine at that time but hated it. Too much nausea…

Grandpa Malek worked as a carpenter (general contractor). He would build entire houses. Mom’s family would live in the houses while they were being built and then move on to the next house when grandpa sold it. Our family house on Hedding Street in San Jose was built by grandpa. We had to move because it was under the flight path for airplanes to the San Jose Airport and the entire neighborhood became uninhabitable when JET airplanes were invented. We moved to Los Gatos and the house was put onto a truck and moved to Almaden. The house was valuable enough to justify moving it instead of simply tearing it down. Grandpa became a carpenter right after the 1906 earthquake. He was living in Oregon when the call went out for all able bodied men to go work rebuilding the city of San Francisco. He also built a house on “The 17 Mile Drive” a neighborhood of palatial mansions in Carmel. Mom, Dad and Grandpa built a Redwood Deck on the back of our house in Los Gatos in 1960. The deck is still there today. https://www.pebblebeach.com/17-mile-drive/

Grandpa Vanderlaan worked as a minister. During the 1930’s the people that attended his Church had NO MONEY to put in the collection plate. Ministers feed their families with the money from the collection plate. Grandma, dad and uncle Marc went camping on the Trinity River because there was good fishing, hunting and NO RENT. Dad and Uncle Marc were very good at fishing and hunting during the 1930’s because that was a major source of food. During the great Depression Grandpa came to the realization that God did not exist. So he quit his job with the Church and became a math teacher. He also was a founding member of the Humanist Society. It’s an alternative to Christianity. My dad was an atheist until the day he died. My brother became a Unitarian and I became an Acid Head. Grandpa Vanderlaan wrote a book about Religion… I tried to read it a couple of times but got bored in the early chapters and never finished it.

We went to Christmas parties at Dorothy and Leland Lea’s home in the hills behind Oakland. My cousin Gary and I would play guitars and sing. Gary also played the family piano and the drums in a rock band of his friends from high school. Leland had a huge collection of tiny liquor bottles. The size they give you on an airplane… Surprisingly, after Leland passed away Gary sold the collection to someone on the internet. Before he shipped them to the customer he emptied all the bottles and poured the booze down the sink. It’s illegal to ship liquor across state lines but empty bottler are Legal…

Gary Lea taught me about the Visual Mantra he used to quit smoking tobacco. Whenever you had an urge to smoke, think of the O’Neil Surf Shop Logo and remember that if you don’t smoke you will have a longer life and more opportunities to go surfing… Good Idea!

We went to Sacramento on Thanksgiving to Uncle Marc and Aunt Peg’s home. They had two daughters, Robin and Jill. Uncle Marc became a criminal defense attorney in Sacramento and Aunt Peg was a Social Worker. Jill became a lawyer and moved to Seattle and Robin went to work at Uncle Marc’s Law office. One time a client of Aunt Pegs did a Bank Robbery and was holding hostages. The police called her and said that the only person he felt comfortable talking to was his social worker… She negotiate the release of the hostages.

Martin’s wife Patti took me to my first AA meeting at Lake Tahoe. Thanks! It allowed me to live a lot longer.

I remember going to Martin and Adrienne’s wedding on a Boat in Long Beach Harbor. We wore funny hats (Yarmulke) and I danced holding up a chair the she sat on.

I remember going to Nicole’s Wedding in Laguna Beach. Again, funny hats! No chair dance that I remember… It was at a really elegant Golf Course and we had a lot of regular dancing… We met Brodie’s Family for the first time. Martin bought us a Hotel Room at the fancy Hotel… it was where Hollywood Film Stars wen to party in the era of Charlie Chaplin. Big Fun! I also got to go to an Anti Iraq War protest march at the Beach. Every year we had protest marches in Eureka and I was afraid that I’d miss out if I went to Laguna Beach… But the people there hated the Iraq War Also!

The Police are a Menace to Society - Let's Cut Funding in Half - and Have Massive Layoffs - FOR PUBLIC SAFETY! Police Can be Trained to Do Something Useful With Their Life!

Since Marijuana is now Legal, Many Policemen have VERY LITTLE TO DO... Did You Know that Two Prisons in California Have SHUT DOWN because of the Lack of Criminals... WE COULD Use the Wasted Law Enforcement Money to ACTUALLY FIX PROBLEMS... 

Of Course, Marijuana is Still Illegal in Many States and the Federal Government... SO... Those people are Still Using Taxpayer Dollars to Do Evil... 

Please Write to Your Elected Officials and ask them to STOP DOING EVIL:

The extremely unpopular, corporate-funded Atlanta Public Safety Training Center, better known as Cop City (the center protested by Manuel “Tortuguita” Terán, whom police gunned down with more than 50 bullets), was previously estimated to cost taxpayers a whopping $30 million. The ridiculously expensive public project is just the latest example of public monies being sucked up by police instead of actually used to fund social programs that help people.

The good news is that it will not cost $30 million. It will likely most more than $100M.

On Monday, a phony AI-generated photo of the Pentagon getting blown up caused the stock market to suddenly drop 30 points. The photo was debunked, causing the markets to snap back. Prediction time: This definitely won’t be the last time a convincing AI phony throws financial markets into turmoil.

TV SHOW: Declassified: 

American Terrorists "The Order"

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7133966/

In 1984, a young charismatic leader, Bob Mathews, built an army of white supremacists with the goal of eliminating Jewish people from the face of the earth and overthrowing the U.S. government. The group, known as The Order, went on a crime spree- stealing millions and murdering an outspoken Jewish radio host. A group of FBI agents in the pacific northwest works to find and capture one of the largest domestic terrorist syndicates the US has ever seen.

In a country where the pandemic has killed more than a million people, where irresponsible corporations dump toxic chemicals in our rivers and walk away, where the leading cause of child deaths is getting shot, the real danger we must all be scared of is…(checks notes)…librarians.

Yes, this is a real story:

If you’ve ever wondered how such revolting people seem to always come into power in America, here’s reminder #4,782,395: “The system” has always worked this way, always put depraved people into positions of high office while the rest of us starve. America has been an utterly failed state for quite some time. #FailedState

An increasing number of cheapskate companies are entrusting their writing jobs to imperfect and constantly hallucinating AI chatbots that churn out inaccurate, low-quality garbage. While those that do look for human work among freelance writers are apparently getting scammed by freelancers using AI themselves. The great enshittification of writing as a career by AI is well underway, and it won’t be the only profession affected.

I just watched a Movie: the History of the Warner Brothers... a Very interesting Show... Starting with Rin Tin Tin... a dog hero! anyway... this knowledge was important on Daytime JEOPARDY! because None of the Contestants Knew the Correct Question... ANSWER: What is the Name of Three Brothers that Missed the Opening of "The Jazz Singer" because a Fourth Brother had Just Died... NOT The Marx Brothers... 

and then SE Said: 

Been putting off laundry because of the heat. I don't have my own washer and dryer in my apartment, so I have to either do it in the building laundry room or the nearby laundromat. I keep waiting for the heat to let up, but it never does. The laundry was piling up, so I am doing it in the building laundry room, which is not air conditioned and has flies buzzing around because the doors are propped open. Now I'm wishing I'd gone to the laundromat because at least it's air conditioned. But laundry is a miserable chore when it's hot. But I guess it's never going to not be hot, so it has to be done.

and I Replied:

maybe a 3 AM Wash would be Better... It's been Hot as Hell Here near Sacramento but at Night, it's Pleasant...

and Just to Raise Your Spirits!
