The last big one remaining … is Twitter, where we are now.”Carlson demonized the news media in his announcement video, accusing journalists of often excluding facts that detract from their narratives.

Her parents created the award to recognize students for their kindness and respect towards one another.“We basically teach children all about kindness, we read stories to them about kindness, and it really works,” said Dana Turken, Jennifer’s mother. “I try to be kind, and I try to make my other friends feel good and okay about themselves,” said Lidnsay Gonzales, an award recipient. The winners received certificates and are invited with their classmates to an ice cream party, and at the end of the year, an overall winner from each grade level receives a new bicycle and a helmet.
