Part 9: My daughter Sarah’s friends skip school all the time, and nothing happens. I’m livid. I drag myself out of bed at 5 a.m. to get my kids to class, but half their peers don’t show, and Nevada’s schools just shrug. We have laws that say truants can face
Part 8: I’m urging Governor Lombardo, seize this moment and declare an education emergency to save my kids’ schools. I’m a Reno mom, watching Sarah and Ben get cheated out of an education in a state ranked 49th for schools. The numbers are a gut punch, most kids can’t read

Part 2: My son Ben brought home a math test last week: 20%. I nearly cried. His teacher sighed and said, “He’s not alone, Jamie.” Not alone? That’s supposed to make me feel better? Nevada’s kids are drowning in a sea of failure, and the people in charge are just
Nevadans, hold onto your hats, the winds of change are howling through our Silver State, and they’re carrying the thunderous voice of President Donald J. Trump! In a scorching Truth Social post today, August 18, 2025, Trump declared war on the “Mail-In Ballot Hoax” and “Highly Inaccurate, Very Expensive, and
