I don't know a ton about it, but from what I can tell, she isn't exactly thrilled about "school"... (the grandparents will probably try to shove her into some fancy private prep school eventually), she's more about makeup and fashion...

so maybe a Bible would be a safe bet. No one can really argue with that choice...😁

Spot on.
If she actually wants to dive deeper into her faith, this is a killer gift (though, let's be real, being a teenager, she might think it's blah right now 😁 but she'll appreciate it down the road). 🙂
But if the whole family is just going through the motions and doesn't actually care about spirituality? Giving her a high-end American Bible is top-tier trolling. I can't even argue with it. It's a Win-win. 😬

I gave some advice on a similar topic recently—the Holy Bible.

Look, I get it, buying something like that for a Confirmation sacrament feels a bit extra 😬 but I’m sticking to my guns. 🥳

My money's on an Illich diversion. 😈 Like, maybe nobody notices and it just slips through.

Just kidding... honestly, who knows. It looks sketchy to me too. I don't doubt they'll give the project a quick once-over, but at this point, I'm just banking on people actually using their heads. 🕺

I’m just asking, honestly—trying to gauge if there's enough momentum here to even get a protest off the ground. I haven't seen any signs of a teacher's strike brewing over this yet, but maybe we could be the ones to kick things off? There are plenty of us out there.

Honestly, this reform is one of the few solid projects we've seen around here lately. 😬

But I'm not trying to start a panic where it doesn't belong. From what I hear, neither the new Secretary nor Microsoft want this thing stopped.

Ann, it looks like that stuff just slipped out during the Government presentation by mistake. Probably just because they were rushing through negotiations so fast...🤣 🤣

First off, it really grinds my gears when you guys start tripping over each other while I'm out here struggling just to stay connected with this garbage internet. 😠

Second, I'm with the crowd on wanting this thread unlocked. It feels totally unjustified to have it shut down, though I get that Petra might be feeling overwhelmed. That’s her business, not the forum users'.
