What the hell, do they not understand that this Becky could’ve killed her victim?
Yep. She’ll brag about it in the future.
His client regrets that she’s actually being held accountable for her actions. She’d be telling this story at keggers and frat parties throughout her college career if she’d gotten away with it.
Yeah, I’m sure there was no racial motivation to committing biological warfare against “Jamaican Barbie.”
I will say maybe his visit was a good thing- quite a few students registered to vote as soon as they turned 18 with the specific intention of voting against him (too bad there weren’t enough to actually unseat him, however).
Senator Ron Johnson (barf) came to the high school where I work a couple of years ago in some kind of stupid PR move. Our administration didn’t want him there, but of course couldn’t really turn him down without him turning it into a big “see, those liberal teachers are indoctrinating children and won’t even let a…
The kids always always always know what’s up.
We really need more civics classes and civic engagement workshops in high schools. There are so many young people that would be incredible lawmakers and representatives, but in additon to funding issues, we lack forums that actively ENCOURAGE them to run for office and reinforce the notion that they actually can make…
My local school board has student board members, and I routinely see them showing more leadership, and certainly more courage, than our elected officials.

criticize donald trump for his ideas and rhetoric of hate, but not his grammar. that kind of snark is a part of the reason that the right is so anti-intellectual and anti-information now. when people are put down and belittled, they lash out. it alienates people, and it should. it’s pure snobbery.
some people are poorly educated because they’re poor: thus, classism.
My city has been consumed with the outing of a serial rapist who owned a major whiskey bar and apparently used it as his personal hunting ground. He’s up to 17 accusers now and has completely ghosted - some people are saying he may have left the country. But the thing is, everyone knew. As a woman, I was repeatedly…
Yes to all of this!
See, there’s something in your initial post that I find fascinating and instructive: your trigger warning for suicide.
