Teens can *try* to do whatever they please. It’s the proprietors who fail to ID patrons who deserve the crack-down and the focus here. If we slap them with fines that threaten their business, we’ll keep teens out of tanning beds. If they want to give themselves cancer at 18, they can have all the cigarettes and…

Honestly. Here, all along, I’ve been popping out babies for my career as a welfare queen . Had I known I could have been aborting them rather than going through with the whole 40-week pregnancy, I’d have been turning a profit that much more quickly! Man, it’s the American Dream for real!

Damn, me too. I’m now so envious of all those abortion millionaires.

Mother of three grown sons here. I did it. The key is to raise a decent human being who respects other human beings.

Yeah, the whole “wife is a shrew” trope is sooooo damaging to both girls and boys. Like, boys who grow up thinking that women are terrible will do terrible things to women.

To be fair, it’s really pretty expensive and more time consuming than getting your DL renewed. I have one, because I worked overseas recently, but my younger brothers don’t have them. They’re not rednecks and not poor, and would probably love to travel someday, but they don’t have a lot of vacation time.

People’s ability to conjure up vitriol for things that they don’t understand and also do not affect their lives in any meaningful way astounds me.

If you’re reading a 20 percent alert it’s too late.

Turn it over, put some aluminum foil on it, it'll do if you run out of plates.

As backward as that is, I’m kind of impressed that an administration so committed to gender-roles let you swap, provided you freed up a space in the class you wanted to move into (which is why you needed the boy to trade places.)

It’s that way everywhere. Another fun fact- if the state testing is in April or May, all the curriculum needs to be stuffed into their little heads by then. Ten months of curriculum stuffed into eight months, and six weeks of the year are spent on nothing but testing and test prep.

AH, YES, I WILL HAVE SOME CREME DE METH IN MY COFFEE. THX.

As ny husband always tells our sons, “don’t be proud of your ignorance.” If only more people listened.

“Racial strife” - when black people wish to be treated with the same courtesy due white people.

That's crazy talk. Probably a result of too much confidence.

As an educator in Texas, our school districts have been on my shit list for years.

“You should feel good about yourself! But not too good. Feel a little bad about yourself, too, or the boys won’t like you and the girls will think you’re a bitch.”

“The college and career lesson was actually scheduled for September, but the newsletter hadn’t been adjusted before it was sent out”

Your opinion about candy corn is bad and you should feel bad!

You’re going to think about what Paul would say on women’s issues? It’s going to be a rough ride.
