#Missouri, another state that has implemented school vouchers like #SouthCarolina has, is doing so at the expense of rural schools.

They've taken tax money from the public schools, given them to private institutions, and then cut the public schools for 4-day weeks as a "cost-cutting" measure.
===
More schools are adopting 4-day weeks. For parents, the challenge is day 5

Efforts by University of #Missouri #Extension, the state Department of #Conservation, and others to reduce the population of #feralhogs are paying off, with a 65-percent reduction in their numbers over the past five years. Feral hogs have caused damage to pastures and woodlands, especially in Southern Missouri, and have the potential to spread disease to domestic #livestock.

Keep in mind, *I* had to reach out to them for the new terms. In the past, they wouldn't even meet their responsibility and give me a full 30 day notice for the new lease terms (as stipulated in the OG lease).

I have to get meetings scheduled with mortgage people/Realtors in prep for moving to a house next year. I should also probably find a #lawyer familiar with #Missouri #RentersRights - have them review my lease and whatever options I may or may not have.

In Folge der transfeindlichen Gesetzgebung in #Missouri, die #trans Healthcare für allem für Minderjährige verbietet, und für Erwachsene einschränkt sollte es für bereits bestehende Hormontherapien Ausnahmen geben. Allerdings wurden gleichzeitig die Regeln für Haftbarkeit so verändert, so dass Behandlungszentren für trans Healthcare schließen. Die Patient*innen wird die Möglichkeit genommen sich weiter behandeln zu lassen.

All of the big 3 companies have not reached an agreement and put out statements saying they're "disappointed", trying to lead us to believe that they've put forth a fair deal.

A targeted strike by the United Auto Workers has begun, including Ford Michigan assembly plant in Wayne, the Stellantis owned Jeep plant in Toledo Ohio, and the GM plant in Wentzville Missouri. The strike plan starts with calling upon only 3 plants to strike and will increase the amount of strikes if bargaining isn't going well.

Executive Order 9981 states:

“It is hereby declared to be the policy of the President that there shall be equality of treatment and opportunity for all persons in the armed services without regard to race, color, religion or national origin.”

30/

#BlackMastodon #Histodons #History #BlackMastodon #BlackHistory #Military #StillWeRise #Truman #Missouri

Although Harry Truman never fully shed his racist heritage, he achieved a historic milestone as the president of the United States by committing the government to the pursuit of civil rights for Black Americans, marking the first such dedication since Reconstruction.

29/

#BlackMastodon #Histodons #History #BlackMastodon #BlackHistory #Military #StillWeRise #Truman #Missouri

While some critics argue he could have done more and others felt he went too far, Truman's time in the White House showcased remarkable personal growth and political courage, especially when considering his upbringing and the prevailing climate of the era.

28/

#BlackMastodon #Histodons #History #BlackMastodon #BlackHistory #Military #StillWeRise #Truman #Missouri

Harry Truman wrote:

“Discrimination is a disease, we must attack it wherever it appears.”

Through his efforts as President, he did his part to improve the opportunity of Black Americans to lead successful lives with basic guarantees of freedom.

#BlackMastodon #Histodons #History #BlackMastodon #BlackHistory #Military #StillWeRise #Truman #Missouri

“The military was the only institution in all of America—because of Harry Truman—where a young Black kid, now 21 years old, could dream the dream he dared not think about at age 11. It was the one place where the only thing that counted was courage, where the color of your guts and the color of your blood was more important than the color of your skin.”

#BlackMastodon #Histodons #History #BlackMastodon #BlackHistory #Military #StillWeRise #Truman #Missouri

In 1998, on the 50th anniversary of Executive Order 9981, General Colin Powell, who would later become America's first Black secretary of state, reflected on the profound impact Truman's decision had on his life:

25/

#BlackMastodon #Histodons #History #BlackMastodon #BlackHistory #Military #StillWeRise #Truman #Missouri

Executive Order 9981 is as one of the highlights of Truman's eight-year tenure, representing a courageous choice that put him at odds with the Southern wing of his party on various civil rights matters. As postwar American society progressed, the armed forces served as a crucial example for desegregation and equal opportunities for Black Americans.

Nine years later, upon accepting a human rights award, Truman stated:

“Let’s make sure we preserve the greatest inspiration we can give the world, the liberties and the rights we profess through one of the most wonderful documents in the world – the Constitution of the United States.”

When he sought reelection in 1948, Harry Truman aimed to compensate for the loss of Southern support by appealing to Black American voters. He emphasized his executive actions despite congressional resistance and pledged to champion the civil rights agenda 'with every ounce of strength and determination I have.'

Ultimately, it took six contentious years to achieve the desegregation of America's armed forces.

The United States Army was the most resistant and, in 1954, was the last military unit to fully integrate.

By 1947, Black Marines were compelled to choose between retirement or accepting the role of stewards, with change progressing slowly within the Marine Corps. However, a notable shift occurred in 1949 when Black and White recruits began training together. In response to losses in the Korean War, the Marine Corps gradually integrated units in 1952.

The United States Marine Corps staunchly defended its segregated practices at the time of Truman's 1948 executive order. During World War II, Black Marines underwent training at Montfort Point, a segregated facility in North Carolina. After the war, the Marine Corps experienced a significant reduction in personnel due to demobilization.

Despite Forrestal's viewpoint, there existed a significant disparity between Navy policy and actual practice. The majority of Black Americans in the Navy continued to serve as stewards and messmen. However, in 1949, Wesley A. Brown became the 1st Black American to graduate from the Naval Academy in Annapolis, MD. His graduation marked a historic moment as he became the 1st Black officer in the Navy.

In the Navy, Secretary James V. Forrestal declared:

“Effective immediately, all restrictions governing the types of assignments for which Negro naval personnel are eligible are hereby lifted. In the utilization of housing, messing and other facilities, no special or unusual provisions will be made for the accommodations of Negroes.”

The desegregation efforts in the Air Force marked a swift and extraordinary overturning of racial policies in the history of the U.S. military. In several bases located in the Jim Crow South, the Air Force disregarded local segregation laws, establishing integrated housing, schools, stores, and recreation facilities for airmen and their families.

Meanwhile, W. Stuart Symington, the first Secretary of the Air Force, wholeheartedly supported President Truman's initiative, leading to the Air Force becoming the first fully integrated branch of the military. The Air Force made remarkable progress, with the number of integrated units doubling between June and August 1949, as reported by December of the same year.

Curtis Bolton, a former member of the 24th Infantry Regiment and a prisoner of war for three years, expressed,

“I know that we fought as well as any other unit did, and the information has been distorted and stories too that are not true... I would like for the records to reveal and tell the true story of the 24th."

Finally, in October 1951, the last of the all-Black units, the 24th Infantry Regiment, was disbanded, and its members were reassigned. The decision to retire the historic all-Black regiments instead of integrating them was seen as a final insult by Black American soldiers. They contested the Army's rationale, disputing claims of incompetence on the battlefield.
