Why Are We Sending More Troops and Punishing Them For Pregnancies…

Tue, 22nd December, 2009 - Posted by Marenda Taylor - (0) Comment


With each day that passes things seem to just get even more ridiculous….or bizarre. There are a few different things on my mind that I’d like to address but Bad Girls Club comes on a few minutes (lol) and to touch on everything I have to say would take all night. So to keep it brief…what’s the deal with punishing soldiers that become pregnant or get another soldier pregnant? Are you kidding me?

This year I’ll be spending the day with both my mom and grandmother. I try to show my love and appreciation for them EVERY DAY not just on Mother’s Day. It is a blessing to have them in my life. Mom and Gram you are both so awesome!

DAY of OUTRAGE

Aren’t The Police Suppose To Serve and Protect?

I wanted to wait to post this when I felt more capable of intelligently articulating my thoughts and feelings… but I can’t so bare with me. I JUST saw this for the very first time so its raw. I’m tired of hearing about this type of abuse and I’m tired of US laying down and taking it… It makes wonder if we are desensitized. Police brutality is a part of American history, in fact, its as American as apple pie….but how many more have to be brutalized, abused, shot, killed…before we re-write history and demand something different than what we’ve been getting? I’m really upset. Aren’t we suppose to call 911 for help? Look what happened to this young man!

When I first heard about this case I was checking status updates on Facebook and thought it was a joke, that is until I saw who it came from…Eddie G. Griffin does not joke! The more I read, the more I needed to know… It seemed crazy to me that anyone could be sentenced to double life in prison over $10! How could that be? We live amongst child molesters and rapists that do less than a year. How is it possible to serve a double life sentence for $10?

As if it its not bad enough that art programs in schools are cut left and right, now a school specializing in the arts faces possible closure! When is enough really enough? When and where do we draw the line?

“The Arts” are just as important as subjects such as History, Math, Science, and English.  According to “Living the Arts through Language + Learning: A Report on Community-based Youth Organizations,” Shirley Brice Heath:
