This is an interesting thought experiment. The answer is not what you might think!
What if every family stops having children as soon as they have a boy? Would the sex ratio end up skewed one way or the other?
This is what it would look like for 25 random families following that rule (with a normal male/female sex ratio of 105/100.)

Both of these were published in the last 14 months and are part of a larger right wing project designed to build the permission structure for Christians to embrace a selfish, cruel, and fascistic vision of Christianity by redefining one of the central teachings of the New Testament and Jesus Christ

70 yrs ago today, Dec 1, 1955, Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat for a white person and go to the back of the bus. Four days later, 5000+ people showed up in Montgomery, Alabama to boycott the bus system. It lasted 382 days, over a year. Public bus segregation was ruled unconstitutional.

Thank goodness Republicans got rid of all the bureaucracy and political correctness in education
TX Tech has a flow chat for guidance on what can be taught in the university system. Two things:
1. Very little content seems to be permitted. This is partisan control of the curriculum.
2. I would not enjoy teaching under these conditions, but I really would not want to be a Chair or Dean.

Since our fucking government isn’t observing World AIDS Day, I will. In 1990, I started taking care of people in the last stages of AIDS in their homes. I did this for nearly two years. The home care company I worked for had meetings for those of us who solely (or nearly solely) took care of PWAs.
