K12PlayGround.com tm combats propaganda spread by social platforms like Facebook.

Born digital the K12PlayGround.com relaunched in 2018 and is now 20 years old.

The Power of the K12PlayGround platform is to support the commons, for the  public good, and has  the power over the currency of democracy:  information.

Facebook, Twitter, and many other social platforms have sold out America’s national interests, and our own national common wealth.

Propaganda is any “information” that gets spread around through print, radio, TV, magazines, and digital social platforms that confuse the public, the purpose is to make people feel insecure about what is true.

These social monopolies made their money from stoking racial prejudice, and dividing society, with no antitrust oversight.

The Library of Congress, Folklorists, Teachers, and Students across America can combat digital platforms like Facebook and Twitter that spread propaganda.

We ask our Folklorists and the Library of Congress to lead civic projects in K12 schools and with the general public. Folklorists and invited to Submit and Share their own achievements and concerns with the nation.

Refugee Children are treated worse than Chickens, and we eat them!

We treat our chickens better than we do the refugee children locked in cages inside internment camps.
Our Chickens get to roam on the grass cage free: and don’t you know we eat them!
Children are what …..  would you say killed emotionally ?
Trump’s Presidential Policy and his cabinet colluded in a conspiracy. It is a conspiracy of criminals working with Donald Trump. It is a conspiracy of immense proportions.
Any of Trumps cabinet who supported, and participated in making arrangements to pay  public companies into stealing children away from their family, hiding them from the press, shipping them in the middle of the night to far away states, not telling their parent or parents where they are, essentially losing track of these children is a conspiracy to undermine American law, American morale, American energy, American good will, American EVERYTHING.
You can prove this was a conspiracy with their own strategy.
This is an act of treason.
Any American who thinks their government or Trump gets a pass to do something like like this is complicit. You are to blame.
The press should own the Narrative and report that this is a conspiracy.  If they don’t they are useless in defending the rights and freedoms of Americans.
Any poor American who believes Trump is going to make things better for you,  is a sucker. He’s had plenty of time to do it by now but… he hasn’t, and he never will.
Trump is a reality TV man who knows how to put on a show.
You like the show?
“He tries so hard and so many people are down on him.” Meaning Trump. She was crying over how Trump is being treated. ~ here
 
Kids in cages!
Fuck you.

“City Hearts: Kids Say Yes to the Arts” is an Arts enrichment program in the Los Angeles County area that was founded by Sherry and Bob Jason in 1984 and began offering classes in 1985. City Hearts hires teachers from Los Angeles’ Arts community to teach dance, acting, circus arts, musical theatre, Shakespeare, singing, crafts, and photography free to the community’s most impoverished children. The list of arts and artists continues to grow, connecting thousands of underprivileged students with professionals to inspire learning and integrate disaffected youth back into the community through the Arts. The following is a recent interview with founder Sherry Jason.

The Arts Should Be for Everyone
“I began teaching ballet at the age of eleven in my garage, charging 50 cents a class. Even then there was a family—the father was a schoolteacher, and the mother worked in Bob’s Big Boy as a car hop. They had three kids, and ballet lessons for their two girls would have cost their lunch money. Right then and there I decided that art should be provided to every child, regardless of their ability to pay. I waived their fee.”
