I’ve been listening to the Heathers musical soundtrack everyday, which led me to re-watch the original Heathers. It stood up really well. But I cannot stand the new characterizations they’ve proposed for the reboot. I can’t. I’m not going to watch the remake, even with Doherty attached. But I wish her well. Now,…

The blonde kid is a boy. He and his sister have, in fact, a great life. His parents are well off, educated and live in one of the best areas of the city. He will graduate with honors, go to a good college and life his best American life. You can do that without ever sitting next to a black or brown person in a…

Money money money MONEHHHH, MONEY!

Whatchutalkin’ bout, Sergio?

3 day suspension. THEN, consideration and acceptance into the NHS.

I’m in the midwest. Our state went to Hillary. Barely.

He was inducted AFTER the suspension.

“No Child Left Behind”, teaching to the state test (Reading and Math, that’s it), Focused Instruction (lock step lesson plans, fuck whether you got to JFK, etc.)

This is the age of information. They KNOW what Nazis did. That’s the whole point. Folks kill me thinking, “If we just SHOW Trump insulting the disabled man, bragging about grabbing a woman’s pussy, cheating on his taxes, scamming poor college students...if the people SEE this, they’ll....” All that shit is what folks…

Brace yourselves, is what I’m saying...I’ve been black for 4 decades and hail from Arkansas, so I know what this looks like. Brace yourselves.

I’m hoping to unwind this Turkey Day and I actually hope that kid simply stops being a dick.

Only place on earth that I actually felt safe, too.

For like 3 days and then he tried to deny doing it even though it was caught on camera. Wrote me a heartfelt note apologizing, but then daddykins tried to bully the principal into striking the suspension from his record. I busted out the “for your eyes only” letter he’d given me. Full confession. Suspension. Then,…

“But...he has a 3.9 gpa and is from a good family!”

I’ve been a teacher since 1998. In this year alone, I’ve had kids paint swastikas in the front of our school. I had a blonde kid I did not know come up to me and do a Nazi salute and say, “Heil, Frau Bensey”. Note: I’m one of the only black teachers in the high school. This term, I’ve had two white kids raise their…

It should only make you wonder how often SHE screamed at them.

What is your threshold for “having it” if by “losing it” you start calling people racist shit? When you throw up, you only vomit what’s in your stomach. So, she gets upset and THAT’s what comes out? And you’re all sympathetic? Okay.

So, automatically, you’ve surmised these are intransigent unreachable inner-city black kids and this poor, idealistic teacher simply had an unfortunate mental break. How about maybe she’s a racist bitch who couldn’t do her job in the first place.

He’s featured on their show AND Rob and Chyna’s show. I think his pockets are still fat, regardless. But I, too, thought their break up was a stunt.
