Really? Really? What DO they teach in schools in Alabama?

December 13, 2017 By AmberPaw

Note that Roy Moore has NOT conceded. Are we counting eggs or chickens as to Doug Jones “Winning” – glad Trump conceded anyway. After all, the absentee and military ballots are still being counted says Roy – and he has this in his backyard, if CNN’s numbers are spot on I am grossed out:

And the UN Report on the poverty in Alabama is nightmarish, photos and all, as well:

Here is the article, and here is a quote from the article:

“People in the region frequently suffer from E. Coli and hookworm, a disease associated with extreme poverty and which was thought to have been eradicated in the US more than 100 years ago but which was recently found to persist in pockets of Lowndes County, located just 20 miles from the state capital, Montgomery, where many residents are too poor to afford a septic system and make their own sewer lines using PVC piping. The lines run from the people’s homes some 30ft above the ground before emptying into ditches or waste ground.

“This seems safe to [the residents],” Rojelio Mejia, a pediatrician and infectious disease specialist at the Baylor College of Medicine who led the study that discovered the continued existence of hookworm in Alabama, told NPR.”
