I started sitting for the pledge in high school. The reason for me was very simple, there is not liberty and justice for all. I had other students looking at me crazy. The teacher actually had a conversation about it for the entire class period. No one brought up the military in the conversation and eventually…

I would be so damn proud of any of my students if they took a knee during the anthem or the pledge. My students are first and second graders so most of them just stand and zone out during the pledge every day or talk to their neighbors. I could definitely name a few teachers in my school who would probably act like…

It’s the same argument people make about Mengele.

The lost episode of “The Cosby Show” ...

I love Bill Cosby.

I saw so many Bill Cosby apologist posts on my Facebook feed just now. Then I saw this:

So sorry you want through that. I too am a survivor and I too didn’t report and have lived with the consequences ever since. Bless you.

Wasn’t expecting that video of the women hugging and crying together to make my eyes watery, but there you go.

As a young boy. 12-13 I didn’t listen to much music. But staying with my grandma and all my aunts in a house for a summer made me get a CD player because watching Frasier and Judge Brown all day was killing me.
