Now in 2012, he’s pro-life and carelessly tells America that he plans on “getting rid” of Planned Parenthood and instead give tax breaks to the wealthiest Americans. So the man who once believed in protecting women’s rights now believes that women shouldn’t be able to have access to cancer screenings, pap smears, STD tests/treatments, and other forms of basic health care? He would rather help Americans who need it the least?

Participants created a storybook, which they read to their class in both Chinese and English, then followed the presentation up by engaging the children in story-related games about vocabulary and Chinese characters. The designed lessons included teaching animals, numbers, transportation and food in Chinese.

Hate:

1. Brushing your teeth and dribbling toothpaste down the front of your shirt.
2. Walking out of ‘Project X’ and realizing that you weren’t actually at the party.
