Me Too!

I believe the Johnny Depp - Amber Heard trial has shown the dangers of cancel culture. Let's just "cancel" them before we ask questions, learn all the facts, etc.

While I believe victims of domestic abuse and sexual assault should be taken for their word, it needs to be balanced -- we should not just automatically cancel people -- because of what one party says about them.

Mr. Depps and Ms. Heard's relationship was toxic. The toxicity came from both sides, indeed! It's clear, to me, from what I have seen on the trail that neither side is innocent. However, with that said, Ms. Heards testimony does not line up with the evidence that she has presented to the court, thus far.

Not to mention there is a huge difference between donated and pledged. They do not mean the same thing!

Well, as someone that has taught Religious Education over the years, therefore have access to the school and classrooms,
