The total incuriosity from the right is so weird. In Sweden, around 80% of kids go to a public child care center. Another 5% attend coops. Kids attending a private center use a government voucher that comes with rules (like a fee cap) and can be revoked for safety reasons. https: 19K views · 307 likes · 21 reposts · 13 replies Open on X →

These trainings exist because Supreme Court made it so that if an employer takes preventative measures against discrimination, they can avoid liability for subsequent discrimination that occurs. It was an effort to weaken the civil rights act. 218.4K views · 1.9K likes · 166 reposts · 29 replies Open on X →
