Gary gave me his blessing to edit a highlight reel of his presentation. I encourage everyone to go watch the whole thing HERE.
Feel free to share this link but note my work is shadowbanned from social media so email or text to help share Dr. Thompsons powerful and timely message.
I watched this last night and was so touched by the presentation, I knew this one needed to be preserved in a blog post instead of lost in a four hour You Tube compilation!
I’m 1500 miles away from all of you and my wife and kids in Tennessee, and it when I heard that the house and senate passed a overwhelming resolution against CRT, I have to admit that it choked me up a bit.
….add in talking about my recently deceased father and his legacy of “non-victim hood” which he passed down to his children, I was a emotional mess in front of 6-700 parents, media, and lawmakers out here.
I literally felt my dad right there beside me the entire presentation. On to South Carolina tomorrow to participate in a CRT panel, and to be filmed for the USPIE documentary.
I think I’ve done what my my dad and God wanted me to do, despite my hesitation and utter contempt for Utah politics.
I got more out this than anyone.
It was nice hook up with my father again.
I could also feel the support from all of you. Thank you.

I have been doing a deep dive on Jane Austens Persuasion!
I checked the audiobook out of my local library and started listening the other day.
Although I have watched both versions of the movie adaptations, it has been years since I tuned in.
So I would listen for an hour and then watch a twenty minute portion of the movie and have thoroughly enjoyed comparing and contrasting the different casts.
My favorite character is Anns sister Mary. She is a delightfully selfish naval gazer who cannot understand her own children. I believe Austen spoofed the aristocracy delightfully in this book and as an actor, sister Mary would definitely be the role I could do a deep dive into.
All of us bloggers are narcissistic if you didn’t know. I believe this is the funniest of Austens novel.
She whacks everybody good and hard and then takes a deep breath and does it again. It would be so fun to see what type of a blogger she would be today.
