Short Read of the Week for December 9, 2021

In this morning’s discussion, we considered seven great articles, and chose this as the one thing you should read this week if you don’t read anything else:

10 things you didn't know are in the Democrats' Build Back Better bill

How many of them did you know about before reading the article?

We also chose to recommend:

https://www.yahoo.com/news/schools-closing-classrooms-fridays-parents-124812995.html
[our copy here]

Why? Because we know there are serious problems in the schools, and to all the angry parents who are showing up at school board meetings, we want to say that even though we may disagree about how to solve them or even exactly what the problems are, there is no question that the schools need help. We want to be a positive participants in providing that help.
