oh yeah my dude

Current Events?????


1. The 20 dollar bill is going to be changed from Andrew Jackson to Harriet Tubman. Lew at first wanted it to be Hamilton to be taken of, but after the hit Broadway musical Hamilton people became adamant that the hero of the musical would stay. Images of women are also going to be added to the back of the 10 and 5 dollar bills, but only on one side so we can keep the good people already on there. 

2. Flint Michigan arrested 3 city officials for tampering with evidence and misconduct regarding the water crisis. Neil Rockind said that it's rare because "it's very hard to find a similar case where people are charged just for being personally bad or neglectful of their job." The three men were charged for knowingly and willfully misleading the higher ups about the problems withe water, failing to order anti-corrosion stuff for the water, and tampering with the evidence. The mayor has said that they're going to drink the tap water for 30 minutes straight to prove that it's safe. Yeah no that's not going to help. The citizens of Flint have already proved that it's not safe to drink, so why would you do this? Why not just fix the problem??

3. Clinton and Trump both won the primaries and got almost all of the delegates needed to get the nomination. Although...a bunch of people who were going to vote for Sanders couldn't vote because the "machines were faulty" so I mean, it was a little bit rigged but whatever it's not like i'm pissed or anything ahahaha. Trump needs 392 delegates to be the republican nominee and Clinton needs 453 delegates. Sanders streak was halted by Clinton and Trump said that it's obvious that they are going to be the two nominees so everyone else should just give up. 

4. A teachers union is suing the Texas Education Agency because the tactics they're using to evaluate the teachers is dumb and complicated and unnecessary. AISD is only using 10% of test scores for evaluation instead of 20%. A value-added model attempts to measure a teachers effectiveness by tracking the improvement of an individual students' test scores over time. 

5. Volkswagen is going to announce the deal that they made to pay U.S customers. about 1 million dollars involved. The CEO said that the compensation will vary considering the newer cars are fine. The company has been polluting the roads even more by not doing emission tests on the cars, and they're probably going to have to pay for that. It's going to be a lot of money lmao. 

6. Surfing dog catches waves in Port Aransas!!!
oh my goodness, a pupper. Two surfers got a dog after their daughter died and taught the sweet pup how to ride a wave, he's so talented ahhhh. Soon after they saw another talented beautiful dog and adopted that one too and taught her to surf. Im so proud! I chose this article because everyone likes dogs and I like dogs so very much. I couldn't just pass up this article! It would have been blasphemy.
