So let’s just forget about the male teachers who don’t want to carry in schools and insinuate old stereotypes, as if he’s never heard of Annie Oakley before.

Excuse me, but has this damn fool never heard of Annie Oakley?
After 29 years in the classroom, it never ceases to amaze me that people think because most everyone has been in a classroom , that they know how a classroom should function and how to do my job. That’s the first mistake. You certainly wouldn’t want me to operate on you, fix your car or pull you out of a burning…
I read this last week. I had to take a rage break before I read it again.
Roy Moore looks like the most disappointing cowboy-themed male stripper possible.
Were women and people of colour the majority applicants for gun ownership, we’d see gun control/legal reform in a nanosecond.
I have a feeling he’s not-so-privately told friends that teachers shouldn’t be armed because “every month those womefolk just go crazy and can’t be relied on not to shoot the kids.”
My irrational dislike started after her appearance with Affleck on Jon Favreau’s “Dinner for Five” show. She hung on Ben’s every word and staring at him like he hung the moon, even though he really wasn’t saying anything particularly smart or insightful. I wanted to scream “How do you not see through him! Jesus…
It always stuns me when people don’t relate to shit like this. You mean to tell me that some people live their lives NOT regretting everything they do in public?!?
Leadership is the key word here. My daughter is a high school teacher, and her Leadership Class happened to be in session when 10 am yesterday rolled around. Every single one of the kids in her class walked out,so she went with them. Many of those kids had been involved in planning the walkout, and spoke at the event…
Super glad these kids were out there fighting and demonstrating and were given a chance to actually speak for themselves. So often kids get relegated to the optics of a movement or just are there as part of the larger struggle, that to see these brave kids out chanting, speaking, and leading is truly inspiring. I hope…
Damnit. I’m not crying, you’re crying.
My favorite sign today: “As a black boy I just hope that one day I have as many rights as a gun”
Our district also sent out a very long winded e-mail about “safety” concerns and attendance policies, which is why there will be a “heightened” police presence. We already had a half day scheduled for today so our district didn’t even have a walk out option for today. The whole thing reeked of bullshit, considering…
My sons middle school in Eugene, Oregon sent a long winded letter about how students walking out wouldn’t be safe and that the only safe place was inside the school and they would get unexcused absence mark and possibly suspension. They were really emphasizing how unsafe it was to walk out. My son walks to and from…
I hope the ACLU stands by their promise to represent anyone who was unduly punished for their actions today. Cancelling prom? Please, don’t tell me that is a regular punishment when a student cuts class
I fervently hope that every single person or school administrator who did anything to punish these kids has their actions dragged out into the open and crushed under the weight of public outrage. THIS is what democracy looks like, you cowardly fuckers. (Sorry. Feelin’ a bit testy about this.)
Just fucking WOW
