Your mood of the day is like you’re laying across a bed of hot jagged rocks wearing only a sombrero and knee-high sandals?

I don't understand it either, but, to answer your last question, an Israeli one does.

I’m aware of that. I just think that she and her doctor know her situation best, and I don’t want to judge this woman since I am not aware of her possible extenuating circumstances.

It should be obvious to you why I’m not here to call out specific programs or curricula. And I’m also not understanding how you can lament the lack of diversity in the field, read the experiences of myself and other people on this thread having very different experiences (either as faculty or students) within teacher…

And they won’t deal with race and cultural awareness in a well-meaning but blind way, like my white high school math teacher who put up Kwanzaa decorations.

I wonder also if teachers of color would present information in a less discriminatory way, or if there’s no room for discretion left in the curriculum? For example, a black teacher might be more likely to talk about a black scientist in science class than a white teacher.

Just dropping by to mention that minority teachers are important not only because they provide their students with a role model but because they understand the discrimination and racism that their students face and are less likely to dismiss student’s struggles with race issues.

Just look at the curricula of leading teacher education programs and recruiters right now. They’re rife with White savior narratives and educators saving “underprivileged” black and brown kids through the healing powers of standardized test data. And we’re really wondering why that rhetoric doesn’t in draw more…

Hillary Clinton is a friend of Wall St and quite hawkish. I like 538, but I find it questionable to use congressional voting records as a comparison metric when one of the people wasn’t in Congress. Yes, she can be quite progressive, but her husband was one of the people who deliberately pulled the Democratic Party to…

She shouldn’t have used a private email account. Once it was discovered she shouldn’t have deleted emails. And stonewalled those asking why she did it or asking that she accept responsibility for doing it.

Can confirm, on all counts. We were all also recruited in EARLY 2007. Nobodies, with no money to give, but faith in Barry and we were treated with grateful respect from Day One. That was in no way the case on Hillary’s campaign.

The Clintons seem to be bad judges of competency and character. Or place too high a premium on loyalty over competence. If I hear that Mark Penn or any of the high level clowns are back on her staff, I swear I’m backing O’Malley.

and like I said- a buddy of mine who worked in Obamaland around that time lived out of a Motel 6, eating nothing but fast food, and when it was time to work, she was crowded with like minded staffers in a tiny office with the barest of furnishings.

I looked it up and it’s even more gross than I remember.

I’m not talking about that. I’m talking about not responding to issues about public issues, e.g. her email accounts, that are directly related to the public and policy.

Cause she convinced Bill that the way to handle it was denial instead of him coming out and saying, in that folksy way of his, “you bet I banged her, sugar tits, and if you were president of the United States, you’d bang who you wanted too”. I guarantee if he’d owned it like that, it would not only have caught the…

Yeah, a lot of sources trace the “birther” nonsense back to her camp. Ugh.

I think her sex will be the least of her problems. America is thirsty for an Angela Merkel of its own. I just don’t know if Clinton can be as savvy of a politician as Merkel.

There was a LOT of chiefs in her campaign before, and too many people trying to call the shots. It basically imploded. She had to deal with a lot of media crap that she let get to her too. I just don’t think she is the type to just blow off criticism, and it gets to her. It definitely showed in the last campaign.

It was absolutely the main factor
