It’s funny... this family made the exact same mistake you’re making now—they assumed that the information they were given was correct.

That’s not what happened. This has been widely reported (on Kinja alone it’s been reported separately on at least three sites) and the dog was not being smuggled aboard. According to multiple witnesses, the dog was in an airline-approved carrier and originally placed under the seat—per regulations—by its owner.

the part where they say the puppy cried until it could no longer draw breath will haunt me.

YES to ALL OF THIS!

 I am honestly a little bit tired of so-called progressive dudes crapping all over Democratic ladies while not looking to so-called progressive men doing squat for either women’s rights or minority rights.

Worked at charities and nonprofits. Volunteered on weekends. Worked in politics and government and issue campaigns. Often at low pay. Registered people to vote in poor neighborhoods. Traveled to Latin America to maternal child health programs and school meal operations. Protected women from protestors at abortion…

Keep doing the Lord’s work! :-)

eta: How the fuck do you end up in Charlottesville as a tourist?

The entire way this country works is by convincing white people that they are the underdogs in their own personal movie. That anyone that is different is just like the baddies in every action movie they’ve ever watched where one white guy slaughters an arm full of brown people. And that we’re all just waiting for the…

White Supremacy is just about wearing white sheets, lynching & setting crosses on fire...it’s starts with making & keeping innocent children ignorant to what’s right & wrong.

Dafuq did I just read?

This comment by a white woman currently has 14 stars

Yeah, don’t comment. LOL.

I am so irked that Black kids are viewed as adults at 10 and white folks can be kids ti they are 30.

It’s not a question of “reducing” it (I submit your own biases are showing in your syntax here). It’s about changing it — expanding it, actually — from a “white standard” to a multicultural standard.

That means someone in administration in charge of continuing education has to assign them to the instructors. And hire more educators of color, who could probably write the curriculum for them and run the program (and should be compensated accordingly, with hazard pay, but I’m trying my best to limit the scope of such…

Outstanding follow up to the question of how to teach slavery. Slave narratives are plentiful and easily accessible. If a teacher wants to impress me, ask the white students in the class how it feels to benefit from oppression.

I am tired of men defining real rape as “the level which I haven’t done to a woman”. The rape definition changes and doesn’t get believed because these men feel guilty as fuck because they knew in their hearts they’ve crossed lines and boundaries. Tarantino sits at home at night and lies to himself he’s not a rapist…

I’m not trying to attack, just want to put in my 0.02, but I’m a person who menstruates and I’m not a woman, so I’m very grateful that the author used gender neutral language. It’s very rare to see gender neutral descriptions of things like these, especially in popular media, and it feels very affirming to actually…

You’ve had a few people come at you over your use of “those who can’t, teach,” so I’ll skip that bit and say this:

As an educator, there are an awful lot of people in my line of work who have no business being anywhere near a classroom. They may well be brilliant in their fields (and many of them are), but they have…
