To Take Financial Literacy Course

Original Article

Posted By: Black Conservative Voice, 3/26/2022 8:57:05 AM

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis this week signed legislation into law requiring that high school students in the state take a financial literacy course in order to graduate. The bill, titled the Dorothy L. Hukill Financial Literacy Act, requires students to take a half-credit in personal financial literacy and money management. The legislation requires that the course cover basic skills, such as how to manage a bank account, balance a checkbook, complete a loan application and compute federal income taxes.

Comments:

Every student in the US should be required this course Meanwhile, blue states are doing away with SAT scores to get into college. Because liberals are lazy stupid people.

I can't decide if Ron DeSantis is merely the Governor of Florida, or if he is indeed a living saint.

This will backfire when they expand it to getting a student loan, welfare, food stamps, permanent disability (I work with a guy who's on permanent disability for ADHD), etc. etc. Let's not forget letting the ladies know, if they get pregnant, about birthright citizenship (if they're here illegally) and WIC (women with infant children). There's all sorts of "financial" stuff students can learn about.

This is sooooo white middle class thinking. It may be wonderful for the upper-middle class kids whose parents themselves are largely ignorant or dependent on wealth and tax advisors. Those kids need this for the same reason they need sex ed...their parents are largely ignorant of their own wealth management. And what about the kid stranded in bad schools, with no parenting, needing those three free meals daily to avoid starvation, and wholly supported by public and private charity? Why no lessons on housing vouchers, managing an EBT card, or how to apply for SSI? How about the kid in a paycheck-to-paycheck household, where there is no extra for gas, let alone IRAs and mutual funds? What's the point of learning about balancing checkbooks when you've never seen one? Compounded by a lack of arithmetic skills. Our education system flat out does not prepare these kids for the very essentials of life, let alone "financial literacy." Let me know when Rashad learns to read and write, and is prepared to take and hold a job beyond the menial. He can't even make change at the corner convenience store. There's the financial literacy problem to be solved. Once again, the schools are used to replace the parents. They'll learn what the state teaches them.

I have said the schools should have been doing this for years. Young people need to know things like how toxic debt can be especially credit card debt and all the rest of the financial rules that some of us got taught by our parents and some of us learned the hard way.

This sounds like a really good idea. Coincidentally, for the last week or so, I have been assisting a young friend who recently left the service in understanding the financial details of buying his first home. Mortgages, interest rates, debt versus investments, property taxes, insurance, utilities, comparison to renting, etc are all things that he was generally aware of, but had no specific knowledge about, certainly not enough to make sound long term decisions and know what was good, bad or indifferent before he was locked into something that he might later discover was a bad deal, or not what he thought it would be. We will be continuing meetings to discuss this topic, and I am using spreadsheet examples to assist in comparing various alternatives, with real numbers, and easy changes to various "what ifs" . These things should be taught to everyone in high school.

There was an amazing moment at the Oscars a few minutes ago where Will Smith jumped out of his seat and slapped Chris Rock across the face — HARD — after Rock made a joke that Smith’s wife, Jada, who is bald thanks to a medical condition is auditioning for “GI Jane 2,” an older movie starring Demi Moore as a female Navy SEAL who shaved her head. But, in America, the censors at ABC didn’t want us to hear Smith yelling at Rock when he went back to his seat. Viewers in Australia and Japan, however, heard and saw the whole thing:

Kyrylo Budanov, the head of Ukrainian military intelligence, predicted that Russia was aiming to split Ukraine into Western and Eastern blocs, similar to how North and South Korea were independently recognized following the Korean War, as ongoing negotiations with Russia have so far failed to reach a conclusion.

Joe Biden’s trip overseas has been a disaster! Biden has dramatically escalated his rhetoric against Vladimir Putin, calling for the Russian leader to be removed because of his brutal invasion of Ukraine. “For God’s sake, this man cannot remain in power,” Biden’s said at the very end of a speech in Poland’s capital that served as the capstone on a four-day trip to Europe. Biden has frequently talked about ensuring that the Kremlin’s now two-month invasion becomes a “strategic failure” for Putin and has described the Russian leader as a “war criminal.” But until his remarks in Warsaw, the American leader had not said that Putin should not run Russia.

US President Joe Biden has visited the European continent in recent days to attend, among other things, a NATO and European Summit. Biden flew to Poland after talking about the war in Ukraine in Brussels to visit US troops stationed in Rzeszów. The president joined the soldiers at the table for a bite to eat, but the pizza he was served was just a little too spicy or Biden took a bigger bite than he can afford. Biden quickly asked for a glass of water to clear his throat. The soldiers seemed aghast as they watch slow Joe seem to have a problem swallowing pizza. S

A dude who witnessed some brazen shoplifting at a Walgreens store in Alameda on Saturday decided to take matters into his own hands and tackle the guy, claiming citizen's arrest. The entire situation was caught on camera. Witnessing what appears to be shoplifting at Walgreens isn’t exactly uncommon in the San Francisco Bay Area these days. But what is uncommon is seeing a customer step in to stop the crime themselves. The man requested he only be referred to by his first name of Kevin. “This is a time you can make an impact, make this happen,” Kevin said. “I see him leaving the store, and I threw him to the ground.”

He came, he saw, he confused. Joe Biden’s call-to-arms speech in Poland was long on soaring rhetoric about the virtues of democracy but woefully short on what more the West will do to help Ukraine defeat the Russian invasion. But by the time he got to the finish, most of that was forgotten. What mattered most and what will be remembered for a long time was a single line the president of the United States said about the president of Russia: “For God’s sake, this man cannot remain in power.”(Snip)Maybe the idea just popped into Biden’s addled brain and he added it on the fly.

Bloomberg reports that tech giant Apple is developing a subscription service for its iPhone and other hardware products, which could turn iPhone ownership into a subscription service rather than direct hardware ownership. The service would be Apple’s biggest effort so far to enter the automatically recurring sales market. The project is reportedly still in development, according to sources with knowledge of the matter, and has yet to be finalized.

Is the Constitution inherently racist? Brandon Hasbrouck says yes. In Boston University Law Review article “The Antiracist Constitution,” the Washington and Lee University professor alleges our nation’s founding document “serves white supremacy.” He aids his argument with George Floyd’s death, the Fugitive Slave Act, and the fact that Thomas Jefferson owned slaves. The professor points out a peculiarity: It is June 28, 1776. The Continental Congress orders that Thomas Jefferson’s draft of the Declaration of Independence “lie on the table.” … Jefferson, who enslaves hundreds of people, nonetheless includes an assertion that “all men are created equal.” Moving forward to fugitive slaves: It is September 18, 1850. Congress passes the Fugitive Slave Act…

Lately, when we think about what’s happening to America’s military under Biden, we’ve been focusing on the Pentagon’s obsessions with race, LGBTQ+++ issues (especially transgenderism), women’s rights, and political “wrong think” (i.e., conservativism). That obsession has consistently put progressive social policy ahead of military cohesion and readiness. However, Jim Webb, who was a Marine infantry officer while in Vietnam, then the Navy secretary under Ronald Reagan and, lastly, a Virginia senator during the Obama years, has written an op-ed about a different concern: The potentially damaging, purely operational changes Marine commandment Gen.

In other words, the narrative is crumbling – it’s impossible to hide the fact that Biden is an illegitimate and incompetent president. According to the poll from March 24th, nearly a quarter of registered Democrat voters now believe that Joe would not be president today if the media had done their jobs
