The Gazette offers audio versions of articles using Instaread. Some words may be mispronounced. Whenever I see a headline or a news story about something that raises my ire, I tell myself: Don’t get mad, get curious. Americans — especially retirees who dig politics and have time on their hands — are good at letting a story upset us before we have all of the details.

@LDRNationalist @wrldclass51nn3r The kids themselves aren't inherently hard or bad, it's that in the absence of discipline and rules, but with lots of therapyspeak, teaching them becomes an impossible task.
