More news from Gilead

"The change was pushed by three new school board members, elected in May with support from Patriot Mobile, a self-described Christian cellphone carrier.

For a second I thought you meant Gilead Sciences and I was REALLY CONFUSED as to what the hell this had to do with them. :blobcatsleepless:

I'm pretty sure there's only a small audience of us who think Gilead Sciences vs Handmaid's Tale. I had enough with the book a decade+ ago. I didn't watch the series.

@cyrilpedia this happened in our local school district as well.
