Spend some time in an underresourced public school and you’ll change your tune. I spent $100s of dollars on classroom supplies during the mere 6 months I was substitute teaching. Most of my classrooms were special ed, and went through sensory items like Play-Doh faster than the school would ever supply it. I also kept…

It depends on the state- also the tax write off (1) often isn’t more than the standard deduction and (2) isn’t anywhere close to $400. And it depends on the school- more affluent schools give teachers more funds to stock their classrooms and are less likely to run out of things like printer paper or paper towels.…

You’re funny. 

as with most stuff like this in conservative/Republican/GQP states, the inhumanity or cruelty is the point. How many state legislators must have laughed at these idiots with their book learning and communist ideas scrambling for a few bucks like hungry dogs scrambling for food. As this country further polarizes itself…

If this were in a film, people would criticize it for being unrealistic. 

How fucking dystopian is this? Any number of shitty movies representing the awful future of this country didn’t even reach this far. I am embarrassed to be an American and wonder how long before it completely collapses..

and this is somehow fine in “the greatest country in the world!!”

I’d bet good money that if she put a speaker in her window going, “The white man is the devil, the white man seeks to destroy you,” they would figure out which laws she was breaking REAL quick

It’s always a black family being subjected to this type of treatment and it’s always the same thing, local police, politicians just throw their hands up because they wish they could help but there just isn’t anything they can do. Sorry ma’am, that harmless crazy neighbor just found some way to navigate his way around…

you know why...

WTF? There has got to be a nuisance ordinance or a noise ordinance in that town.

they can go buy tickets to his shitty show, there is no need for netflix to broadcast this into homes, just pull it.

just pull it, he’s a huge influence on people, this just gives people the green light to be transphobic and claim “they’re just joking”. It’s netflix, it’s a company, it’s not some freedom of speech issue, they can pull it. I don’t know if people realize the level of self harm this will ripple through the queer communi…

Ah thanks.  I'm happy and it feels right.  Grief is inevitable but temporary when it comes to dealing with bigots like Chappelle.

Congrats by the way for coming out!

Oh Jesus Christ.  As someone who has struggled with gender identity and after this year identity as a woman this is goddamn miserable.  I live in the same state Chappelle calls home and people loooooove him here.  Siding with JK Rowling is a rather quick and easy way to out yourself as an asshole.

People go on about touchy-feely liberal clapter, but it’s always the edgy anti-PC crowd who give these tedious, preachy speeches. It’s the same kind of persecution complex that made late-period Lenny Bruce and Bill Hicks so exhausting.

Weren’t a lot of innocent people fined, jailed, imprisoned or killed because of overzealous cops trying to flex their power and being unsatisfied with the idea of letting people go for minor infractions?

“The policy makes exceptions for cases that endanger public safety”

Weren’t a lot of famous criminals caught when they were pulled over and then were driving a stolen car, were wanted, had a body, or just plain freaked the fuck out and started shooting? Of course, this is prosecutorial discretion, so I guess an exception would be made if the felony from the stop actually is pulling a…
