So far, the race has been dominated by Republicans. But, in a state where all of the candidates compete in the same primary, that's giving confidence to one Democrat and her quiet campaign.

Mandated Comprehensive Sexual Education has been approved, now what? In November Washington state voters approved referendum 90, mandating, all Washington public schools will teach Comprehensive Sexual Education (CSE) starting in Kindergarten, by the end of 2022-23 school year. Law stipulates curriculum must be age appropriate, and medically/scientifically accurate, and districts may choose any curriculum meeting the criteria. Parents do have the right to opt their child out of classroom instruction. Who's in control?All public schools are required to use a CSE curriculum adhering to standards set by the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI), and guidelines developed by the department of health and OSPI. Not only does the OSPI set the standards, they can review and change them at any time they deem necessary, without public input. When changes are made by OSPI, school districts are required to stay in compliance, and update their curriculum. Curriculum Choice Is Non-ExistentIf not satisfied with OPSI approved curricula options, the law permits districts to choose an alternative CSE curriculum. It must meet OSPI standards, and be approved by OSPI. Any associated expenses incurred shall be borne by school districts. Eatonville SD, a small district estimates the cost of purchasing curriculum, training teachers and all other related expenses, at approximately $231,972. OPT- OUT? Not so Fast…Parents have the option to opt their child out of CSE, however it does not apply to anything outside of the regular class instruction, such as special assemblies or speakers. Planned Parenthood regularly trains teenage students to be Teen Advocates, who go into the public schools and teach their peers about “sexual health.” When peers taught a highly sexualized form of sex education, it is impossible to opt out of school culture. Bullying and sexual harassment of those who chose not to participate in CSE, are not uncommon.What is a parent to do? First, if at all possible, take your child out of the public-school system. Schools around the state are introducing curriculums designed to use children for culture change, rather than focus on academics needed to become a productive member of society. COVID-19 school closures have enlightened many parents, realizing they can home school as well, or better than public schools. Home school pods are popping up all over the place and resources for homeschool families are becoming more abundant.Second, if alternative schooling is not available, parents must make it a priority to oversee teachers, and their lessons. Review the sex ed curriculum, and then opt your child out. Support teachers who and are opposed to teaching CSE. Let your child's teacher know your values and wishes, and what is unacceptable. You, the parent are still the gatekeeper for your child.Get Involved, Advocate for Parents' Rights in Education!School boards, representatives of the voters, were designed to support the rights of parents, and the wishes of the community. You and others like you can influence their decisions and hold them accountable. If your board does not care about parents' rights, it's time to elect replacement(s). Navigating through the advocacy maze is always more palatable when working as a team. Start a group in your area, or join other parents to bring your ideas and grievances to your local school, district, and school board.

I will be providing insight, strategies and stories that will help you create a vision for the future, reach your goals, master your mind and emotions.. and of course live a happier and more fulfilled life. A little background on myself. About 12 years ago… I was dead broke… and at one of the lowest points in my life. I had started a company called (ESP) Entertainment & Sports Productions and I was throwing Ultimate Fighting type events with Randy Couture and Matt Lindland (where I trained at Team Quest) and while it was a great experience and I had a lot of fun... I was raising an amazing 4 year old girl…it was Dec… and I was not not making enough money to be able to pay my bills let alone the mortgage on the house... or get Christmas presents for my daughter. I felt like a complete failure…as a man, as a father, as a provider… I remember….I broke down crying… But something also changed in me.. I didn’t want to be the person I felt like… so I decided to change. It wasn’t but three months later that I met the woman of my dreams… who I ended up Marrying and having our son… Later on in 2009.. I started Webfor, a creative and digital marketing agency that helps business elevate their brand online. Today we employ 15 people and our team has won multiple awards. I sit on multiple boards, volunteer my time and give generously… so what did I do? That is exactly what I’m going to share with you in the upcoming episodes. Together we can find where you want to be in the future and determine what choices you need to make now to get there. My commitment to you. I will be producing a new episode each week for 52 weeks or until I feel I’ve poured out my soul into this book. You will get 100% raw transparency from me. This is a passion project for me. I’m not doing this for profit. Any future proceeds that come from this will go towards non-profits that support our youth. In fact my company, Webfor is sponsoring the Toast for Teens event hosted by the Boys and Girls Club of SW WA coming up in a few weeks.

A commitment I ask of you is that you take the minute or two to do this small micro action.

Presented by Professor John Hartley on 14th August 2014.This presentation reports on a new ARC Indigenous Discovery Project, won by Len Collard (UWA), Kim Scott, the late Niall Lucy and John Hartley (Curtin). It starts from the observation that there are no Australian-Aboriginal language versions of Wikipedia, although minority-language versions do appear elsewhere, including Welsh, Upper Sorbian, Cree and Maori. It seeks to create the first "Noongarpedia", using the Noongar language of SW-WA to model and assess the extent to which minority languages can thrive by using globally accessible Internet technologies.
