🇺🇸 - The Lindsay Clancy case has brought renewed attention to the chilling story of Constance Fisher.
In 1954, Fisher drowned her three young children in Maine while suffering from severe mental illness. Diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, she was committed to a psychiatric hospital but released five years later. Fisher and her husband didn’t split, eventually having three more children. In 1966, she drowned them as well.
Clancy’s defense argues that postpartum psychosis left her unable to understand the wrongfulness of killing her three children in 2023, while prosecutors maintain that she IS criminally responsible.
Fisher’s case raises a difficult question about Clancy: When someone commits an unthinkable act during severe mental illness, how can the system balance treatment, accountability and the protection of others?
Six children died in the Fisher case after doctors once believed she had improved. That history deserves consideration, but the children in both cases, not their killers, should remain at the center of the story. We must have justice for Lindsays children.
Facebook did a massive study on its ability to emotionally manipulate people in 2012. Pushing negative interactions causes people to mirror that negativity. Ergo, flooding social media with increasingly mean bots is like releasing a hate virus that will have real world effects. – Source | Article
All social media platforms take part in this.
FREE HALAL BREAKFAST AND LUNCH SENT HOME BY A PUBLIC SCHOOL DISTRICT SPECIFICALLY FOR RAMADAN. Yep, taxpayers are already funding religiously compliant take-home meals in American schools.
Federal Way Public Schools in Washington offered free breakfast and lunch packages to students observing Ramadan this year, and the district specifically advertised that ALL of the meals were halal. New York lawmakers have also pushed legislation requiring halal meal options in certain public schools.
Muslim families absolutely have the right to follow their religious dietary rules. They can buy halal food, pack halal lunches and raise their children according to their faith just like every other American family can.
But religious freedom means government doesn't stop you from practicing your religion. It does NOT mean taxpayers are obligated to finance special religious observances for you.
Are other special religious accommodations being made?
