People should not be judged by their sexuality. There are teachers, coaches, police, firefighters, babysitters, students, caseworkers, caregivers, bus drivers, and many others who are all part of the LGBT community. Some people are not sure about themselves because of their sexuality. As long as people are not abusing others, like some priests, rabbis, police, or health care and nursing home workers have, their sexuality is their own personal decision and business. I hope this post will educate my readers and professionals about issues impacting the LGBT community.  Pride Month was a time to think and hope for all the best and not the worst. Pride Day was in Grant Park. I celebrate Pride all year round because it has the meaning of love and respect. Look all around! If males have feelings for each other, or females have feelings for each other, and they love and trust each other, they should be at peace with themselves. They should be able to create a life together. There has been a lo

Violence and hate are a huge problem. The authorities are not able to handle the crime in Chicago. All of these shootings are like a pandemic! When is this going to stop? Look at the ways this world is so messed up! Even the police are part of the problem. If you need the police, you should not get abused. People should be treated equally no matter what their race is. We need to think positive and be kind to one another. Violence is not the answer. All these misunderstandings are a waste of time and are no reason to take a life. It is all so tragic. A violent criminal is not using their best judgment. The police must take into account the best ways to help those who need mental health treatment and always have backup. Some people need mental health support for violence prevention. All families grieve when they have their children hurt because of violence and homicide. Here in Chicago, even a four-year-old child was murdered by accident! In every community all of this hate has to stop.

  Chicago Public Schools are going back! During this cold weather, it is important to use hand sanitizer. After all of the pain and frustration, wearing masks among their own peers will be important for students. But above all we should hope they have hand sanitizer available in all of the hallways. Parents should also be sure to tell their teens and preteens to wash their hands before meals! I like the fact that our high schoolers can return back to campus safely. They just need to make sure that they are focusing on their work and staying healthy and safe, instead of being on their cell phones. They need to keep themselves safe by wearing their masks before entering campus. They need to think more about protecting others than their personal lives. They should make sure that their teachers and professors are doing the same too! We hope this return to campus will be a good call since this has been a hard, rough year. Everyone needs to stay at least six feet apart, even if it is difficu

Getting the vaccine to American citizens all over the map is important. I am confident there will be a big shipment soon. Hopefully there will be no more deaths. Let’s hope our store owners keep their heads up and we see more vaccines for our frontline workers. This was Biden’s campaign promise! As someone who voted for Biden and Harris, I trust they will follow through. Johnson and Johnson, Moderna, and Pfizer all have vaccine options. My best wish is for storeowners to reopen, as well as schools. The mayor should not rush anything. Let the president do his job! The airlines that are transporting the vaccines are held up because of the weather. It is not getting any better. That is why citizens in the different states and Illinois have delays at the COVID vaccination sites. The Chicago Public Schools will be able to return to in-person after everything clears up. The Chicago Teacher’s Union wants to have the vaccine before everyone goes back to the classroom like normal. The mayor and

I knew from the beginning that we did not have a good leader. He was more like a dictator! You could look at his cabinet and see that he did not have good people. Now the riot at Capitol Hill shows what kind of people his followers are. I have never seen a leader provoke violence like Trump! History was made on that terrible day. The Capitol Police should have been better prepared for the protesters. Washington DC is a beautiful place with amazing memorials. We need to make sure that it is safe and not destroyed. I would like to be able to see teachers taking Junior High School students to the Capitol in the future. I would never like to see any president go through impeachment, but I think it is needed for Trump! Why would anybody to think of joining a mob? It does not make any sense. People were not using their brains. White supremacists should see a psychiatrist and get their minds checked. People should have a sense of joy and humanity!

Right now, it may not be safe for students to learn in person. Our best hope is if the CDC sends shipments of the vaccine to Chicago Public Schools and to suburban schools for teachers and other staff members. There will be better days coming soon once teachers and staff at all institutions have the vaccine. I cannot wait until people in the whole city and suburbs, along with their businesses, social services, and programming can go back to their place of employment. Developmentally disabled citizens and people with special needs will get services they require. Sons and daughters should be grateful to their moms and dads for taking care of them while they are not in schools. The best thing in life is to find work and people will be able to do this again soon after the virus is over. Living at home was the best time for some, but for others mom or dad might not be in the best of health or they might have a dark side.  The best education for students is when they are in school. Soon pare

  The time is now. Congratulations President and Vice President Elect! It is about time. We will once again be the land of the free! This is the best new leadership for our country going forward. Biden will be very honest and very sincere. I am proud for him to represent me. He will do what is the best thing for the United States. We will have equal rights under the new presidency. The new President and Vice-President elect are very loving individuals who will treat everyone the same. I want to thank them for introducing the new vaccine. I’ve never seen a new president take a vaccine in front of the whole United States of America. With new leadership from the Democratic Party, we will have more honesty, love, and sincerity. I think we have chosen the right person! We will finally have someone who will follow the science. This is the land of the free and we will have a leader who has love and not hate! We will be a new country going forward.
