A scratched or slightly damaged electric battery might be enough for some insurers to write off entire cars, as for many electric vehicles there is no way to repair battery packs after collisions.

Rev. Dr. Phil Snider and Rev. Emily Bowen-Marler wrote an opinion piece in the Springfield News-Leader titled "If scripture is our guide, we should support all SPS students." The story highlights Dr. Shurita Thomas-Tate as a caring individual who listens and learns from students, while SOME (Dr. M) school board members simply don't understand trauma.

Dr. M was accused of interrupting a conversation at a racial trauma event on February 23. Officials with Burrell Behavioral Health, Missouri State University, Springfield Public Schools, and the local chapter of the NAACP are a part of this event. During the event, students were asked to close their eyes and raise their hands if they have experienced racial trauma. Director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at Burrell Behavior Health, Marquisa “Keke” Rover stated, "most of the students raised their hand." Dr. M, who was in the crowd, challenged that by saying, "It was only just a part of the room."

Do you remember this: “I'm sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and disagree with this administration, somehow you're not patriotic. We need to stand up and say we're Americans, and we have the right to debate and disagree with any administration.” ― Hillary Rodham Clinton
