Cult of Personality.
The state wants to ban all mention of gender and sexuality in schools because they don’t think children need to learn about that (even though that’s real life). Sexual and gender issues are a necessary part of the AP psych curriculum, therefore, teachers cannot teach the complete course without facing legal ramifications. The state has failed to clarify this so nothing has been resolved.
It really is infantilizing kids of high school age to make them deliberately ignorant (and therefore reject) people who have different preferences. It’s horrific and is doomed to fail. The real world has a way of catching up.

I am a geologist that also has a lifelong interest in anomalous natural phenomena and paranormal claims. So I do a website called Spooky Geology. I think I can count the number of people who can do this on one hand. Like me and one other person I know of. So, that seems very niche. I also have a community here for weird news. !strangetimes@lemmy.world
It's not "finders keepers". In this case, the owner was identifiable. There are laws in most states that require you report found valuables or cash and make an effort to find the owner. It's at least a misdemeanor if you don't.
