Ask Amy: I’m sickened by my granddaughter’s cheerleading, and her parents won’t listen

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:26:24 GMT

Dear Amy: I had a 42-year career as a speech-language pathologist, working with young children. Early childhood development was my professional specialty.I made sure to provide my own children with play-based preschool opportunities. As they grew and showed interest in certain activities, we provided those opportunities for them in art, music and sports.Both children are now successful professionals.Our son and his wife are the parents of two children, ages 3 and 1.They let us know early on that they would accept no input or support, even when they shared their struggles and challenges. Not even a book suggestion was welcome.I have respected their wishes, and I respond to texts, e-mails and rare phone calls with generic positive statements like, “Thanks for sharing that photo!” and “It looks like he’s doing great!”Now, our daughter-in-law is sending photos and videos of our 3-year-old granddaughter in a peewee “cheer” program.She is on a “performance team,” complete with uniforms wi...

The Right’s Desperate Push to Tank ESG and Avoid Disclosing Climate Risks

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:26:24 GMT

The House of Representatives released the first report from its ESG Working Group in late June, highlighting priorities for the rest of the 118th Congress and making clear that Republicans won’t stop “investigating” environmental, social, and governance investing while there’s still a chance to save polluting companies from having to report their actual emissions.At its core, ESG is about information: When companies report on their environmental, social, and governance risks, which can range from high greenhouse gas emissions to particular hiring practices, investors use that information to determine whether they think a company is a good investment.The Republican-led House isn’t the only entity that’s become obsessed with ESG investing over the past two years. From political advocacy organizations like the Texas Public Policy Foundation to state treasurers, the American Legislative Exchange Council and the Republican Attorneys General Association, the right wing has been on fire ab...
