0 Kids & Family A U.S. Census Bureau survey found there's been more family dinner, parents reading to children. How's the pandemic shaped your family? Amie Schaenzer , Patch Staff Posted | Updated Reply LIBERTYVILLE, IL — Throughout the coronavirus pandemic, we've been bombarded with a lot of bad news. With cases spiking again amid the fast spread of the omicron variant, we have been inundated with updates on hospitals filling up, schools dealing with massive staff shortages, and some turning to remote learning, and an overall sense of fatigue from nearly two years of living in this new normal. Many families have been forced to navigate living with less from less daycare, to less schooling and the added responsibility of teaching children remotely, to less disposable income due to the rising cost of food, gasoline and many other goods. Some have lost their jobs. The picture has been grim through most of this but a … [Read more...] about Libertyville Parents: How Has COVID Changed Your Family Life?

This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate 3 NEW YORK - Christian Amato, a 34-year-old Bronx Democrat who ran a theater company in Greenwich Village before switching to politics, was outlining his positions on the arts and other matters at a sidewalk cafe the other day when his phone rang. "This might be an important endorsement," he said, excitedly. And it was. Local 1, the theatrical stagehands union, was calling to support his campaign for a state Senate seat representing parts of the Bronx and Westchester County, the latest development in a movement to gain political ground for America's more than 5 million arts workers. "That's fantastic. It means a lot to me," Amato said into the phone, between bites of avocado toast. "Listen, I'm on your side. I'm with you in this fight. ... I'll take the logo - and do you need my address? Do you guys do a check with the endorsement?" Amato's campaign, pitting him against two rivals … [Read more...] about Arts workers are increasingly stepping onto the political stage

close Video CDC director admits botched COVID response Fox News medical contributor Dr. Marc Siegel responds to the CDC COVID response and growing cases of monkeypox NEW You can now listen to Fox News articles! President Biden's administration is still pursuing litigation to implement a federal worker vaccine mandate despite recently changed Centers for Disease Control Prevention (CDC) guidelines for both vaccinated and unvaccinated people. The case, called Feds for Medical Freedom v. Biden, is set for a hearing before the entire Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals on Sept. 13. It stems from a case filed in Texas last December that resulted in a federal trial court issuing a nationwide injunction against the federal government enforcing its vaccine mandate for civilian employees. A panel at the appeals court then ruled for the Biden administration, overturning the trial court. But the Feds for Medical Freedom workers group asked the entire … [Read more...] about Biden still pushing federal worker vaccine mandate despite eased CDC guidelines

In this recurring series, we find those people who’ve done all the work for you and have them walk us through a particularly wonderful, especially well-thought-out vacation they took that you can actually steal.

A Virginia mother sued her son’s school district over its implementation of a Critical Race Theory (CRT) curriculum that she says radically changed his outlook on race and his own identity, Fox News reported. Melissa Riley sued the Albemarle County School Board over its “anti-racism” policy that she believes completely shifted her biracial son’s outlook on race, she told “Jesse Watters Primetime” on Monday. “We didn’t have issues before,” Riley told Watters. “He is in eighth grade. He’s seeing himself just as a black man. He’s seeing things that don’t go his way as racism. And he is finding safety in numbers now.” CRT holds that America is fundamentally racist, yet it teaches people to view every social interaction and person in terms of race. Its adherents pursue “antiracism” through the end of merit, objective truth and the adoption of race-based policies. Riley is one of the plaintiffs in a lawsuit filed against Albemarle County School Board by Alliance Defending Freedom … [Read more...] about Virginia Mom Sues School For Allegedly Pushing ‘Anti-Racism’ Curriculum On Her Son

A federal court denied a petition for rehearing in a case surrounding United Airlines’ vaccine mandate — one judge accusing the company of “ coerc[ing] its employees into violating their religious beliefs.” Judges for the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, widely considered the most conservative federal court, voted 13-4 on Thursday to deny a rehearing. The court also denied United Airlines’ request to vacate a panel opinion from February , which held that the mandate inflicted irreparable harm and remanded the case to district court. Trump-appointed Judge James Ho penned a concurring opinion , admonishing the airline for creating a “crisis of conscience” for its employees, and warned of new wave of corporatism in the Unites States that seeks to inflict its cultural values on Americans. Ho wrote that mandating employees with sincere religious objections to take vaccines that “were developed using aborted fetal tissue” or face indefinite unpaid … [Read more...] about Federal Court Nixes Vaccine Mandate, Citing Religious Liberty
