4. Wow! Thanks! And Senator Whitehouse is one of my favorites since he takes climate change seriously

And it's one of his signature issues. He's extremely dedicated and has made literally over 300 presentations to the committee on the issue. Climate change and Supreme Court corruption are his two main issues and here he's having to deal with both of them in the same week!

As for education, the current administration has interfered in that, too. If kids are going to a private religious school, they likely have to learn the 10 Commandments (I had to, we were tested on them!) but they do not belong on the walls in public schools. And when I was in school, we were encouraged to read - in the summer my mother took my brother and me to the local library where we took out books to read, the library had a summer reading program. These days, there are books which are banned. Nobody told me what books to read, I chose them myself.
