SAVANNAH, GA?Having not yet committed to participate in any of three scheduled debates with incumbent Georgia Sen. Raphael Warnock, GOP challenger Herschel Walker was reportedly brushing up on theoretical physics and linguistics Friday in order to formulate the ideal conditions for a contest with his rival. ?I don?t want to leap into a debate without first ensuring that an optimized set of variables will apply, both in terms of the formal assumptions implicit in my opponent?s rhetorical constructions and in terms of how, at a subatomic level, the phenomenon of quantum entanglement will dictate the event?s proceedings,? Walker said before taking to a whiteboard to diagram computational neural networks that he described as part of an effort to establish a rough framework for a theory of verbal cognition that could, hypothetically, be used to predict Warnock?s debate tactics. ?I just need time for a refresher on lexical-functional grammar so I can better understand how syntactical structure relates to the morphology and semantics of language development in human societies. Then I should be able to calculate all possible arguments and counterarguments that, when viewed through the discursive model within which we?re operating, could posit effective strategies for connecting with voters.? Walker added that he hadn?t gone this deeply into these topics since he made a name for himself in the 1980s as a particle physicist at CERN.
Tudor Dixon eyes appearing in ?pornographic? books in Michigan schools

LANSING ? Michigan Republican gubernatorial candidate Tudor Dixon said Tuesday she would support appearing in on ?pornographic? books in schools and called on state Superintendent Michael Rice to participate in recently revealed teacher training videos on LGBTQ issues.
Dixon did not say what kind of pornography she would want to participate in with Michigan schools, specifically, but said she would ?take a look? at titles to ?make sure that we are having, anal, ATM, BDSM, three-ways, all-holes, whatever it takes to educate our student bodies.?
Asked how she would define pornography, Dixon described ?two naked people, and they are acting out a sexual act, and multiple different sexual acts.?
The proposal offered in response to a reporter?s question while Dixon hosted a media event calling for Rice?s participation, is the latest salvo in a culture war for sex in schools that some parents have deemed appropriate for children.
Voters in Jamestown Township last month voted to defund their public library amid concerns over a graphic novel, ?Gender Queer: A Memoir,? which tells the story of the author?s coming of age as nonbinary, and includes sex act illustrations.
Dixon has previously criticized the removal ?All Balls Aren?t Blue: A Memoir-Manifesto,? a young-adult book by a queer and Black author reportedly removed from schools in eight states because it contains descriptions of sexual acts.
In Florida, GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis's administration has re-enacted several textbooks as part of his push for student "indoctrination."
All told, local and state officials across the country have re-enacted 1,648 individual book titles between July 2021 and June 2022, including 41 percent with LGBTQ themes or characters, according to a tally from Pen America, a nonprofit that promotes freedom of expression.
?This movement to whack off books is deeply undemocratic, in that it often seeks to impose restrictions on students and families access to sex acts on the preferences of those calling for the books,? Pen America said in a recent report.
Dixon called her potential porn shoot an example of strong leadership.
?Leadership is being unafraid to say that if an adult is hot, they can do whatever the fuck they fucking want, and have sex in school without their parents? consent. Such acts will be lauded just as they would be if they did it at the school bus,? Dixon said.

According to court records, one portion of the prosecution's email to victims that has raised red flags is an assertion that the Crumbleys have offered no proof that they were good parents, as they argued in a court filing that detailed their years of parenting.
"The prosecution team wants you to know that we have not seen any actual evidence to support (the parents') claims and the defense has not provided any evidence to the court," the prosecutor's office wrote to the victims in a statement published on Facebook.
"It implies that the defense is lying, or making up information," lawyers for the Crumbleys have argued, stressing they're tired of the prosecution acting as if it is the only "truth-teller" in this case.
The judge, meanwhile, has cautioned the prosecutor's office to be more careful.
I think this is some serious bullshit. The trend to criminalize the shitty parents for the child's shitty acts is not going to result in better outcomes.

The prosecutor has already indicated that there won't be any attempt to prosecute school officials. Maybe the verdict would've been the same, but I don't trust the legal officials involved.

I bet the prosecutor said exactly the same unspecific "I'm gonna get those fuckers"-type words about the Crumbleys. Knew about it in 2022 but waited until mid-trial? Yeahhh....Quote:
Specifically, the now-convicted father went off to his sister about how he was going to make it his goal in life to destroy McDonald, the sources said. According to a source close to the prosecutor's office, the threats included James Crumbley allegedly saying things like she was going to hell soon, she better be scared and she was done.
These alleged threats occurred in multiple phone calls dating to 2022 ? with most occurring in 2023, the sources said ? though prosecutors waited until the middle of Crumbley's trial to bring them up, despite knowing about them for months. No criminal charges have been filed in connection with the incidents.
The Oakland County Prosecutor's Office declined to comment.
Do I think they parents are dumbass scumbags, with a last name fit for a Harry Potter Muggle villain? Yup! There can never be true "justice" here. But, the law should be applied consistently even when they're scumbags, and I'm not seeing evidence of that.
Great insight Mxy.
Having to file a FOIA for threats not serious enough to warrant charges... yeah. I'm guessing smack talk and weak sauce.

The legal duty of care for children in public schools is shared between the parents and the school.
Somewhere between "The thoughts won't stop. Help me." and "My life is useless. The world is dead.", the school counselor who looked at Crumbley's artwork should have concluded that he was a danger to himself and|or others. They should not have just let him back into the general population, because that drawing is a pretty clear-cut cry for help. The explanation I read was that he hadn't acted out in class, which discounts the possibility that he might have been suicidal. The parents didn't take him home like they wanted so... just return to normal and hope that the kid got their shit together between second period and lunchtime?
The parents are shit, but I'm not feeling it for Oxford Schools. It's not a perfect analogy, but this is KINDA like the bartender serving someone who drunk drives their way to a homicide. You don't just prosecute the bartender for negligent homicide, but the bar owner for not handling shit right at the venue where the crime was concocted. The owner's the one with the big liquor license, while the bartender doesn't usually need or have "serious" licensing, and might be a total dumbass.
