A coworker of mine got “Merry Christmas” on her cup this morning and posted it to Facebook. It’s the dumbest shit to get riled up over. And yeah, you are just giving your money to Starbucks in “protest” of their fucking cups.

I NEVER drink out of a cup that has less than four pictures of Jesus on it.

I liked the design. It looks like Christmas without Christmas throwing up on it. It's simple. What's wrong with simple?

Remember kids: Black Lives Matter is a bunch of whiners who are looking for reasons to be offended. The real oppression is a lack of Christmas iconography on your coffee cups.

I don’t know. They may have a point. Those cups don’t look anything like the ones Jesus drank his Gingerbread Lattes out of.

Honestly, Bernie probably won’t win. But that he’s a serious Democratic candidate, competing with Hillary in polls shows a leftward swing in this nation, especially among the younger generation in this country who will replace the dying old.

God, even your cynicism is derivative.

“Slasher films might have perfected the murdered sorority girl, writing on her body the fetish of destruction. But they didn’t invent the fantasy, they just used it to suit their own purposes. Bundy and Rodger might have said the same.”

Yeah, pay him no mind. I had to be reminded that he was the prolific troll “Tomatoface” once driven from our midst and now back under a new demented burner. He likes to come back under the names of obscure breeds of tomato.

Ah, yes, I remember TomatoFace/TomatilloFace as well. Let’s bring you out of the greys and make sure everyone knows about Debaro as well.

Everyone should avoid Debaro down below as well. Debaro is a kind of tomato, so that tells you who we are actually dealing with.

Avoid LenaDunhamsTesticles down there; as though the name weren’t obvious enough, LDT is a pretty dedicated misogynist troll, spends most of his time on Jezebel and its sister sites harrassing Anna Merlan and anybody who suggests misogyny is real... then acts deliberately obtuse, refuses to acknowledge facts that run…

When I student thought way back in the 80’s I had a student who had just lost her father. She misbehaved FAR worse than this girl. (at least based on what we see in the video and people are claiming) We handled her with empathy and understanding while still maintaining discipline and the education environment. (By…

Has anyone mentioned ‘roid rage? No one who’s not a world-class trained athlete benches 600 on their own.

That is what I was thinking. Rather than physically engage a student, embarrassingly drag the desk outside into the hall. Not throw them across the room.

In Facebook discussion on this topic, my father made that exact point. He remember as a kid that when a student in his class refused to the leave, the teacher pulled the entire desk, with the kid in it, out into the hall. I did not even realize that this LEO could bench 600 Lbs (holy shit) he could have carried the…

I agree with your article, well done, but the other fact that is often left unmentioned is that this poor girl lost her mother AND her grandmother in the last year, and is now in the foster system.

Thanks, it’s all I know how to do. Can’t even feature what it’s like to have a real job. Thing is, most of the kids just want to spout off and if you manage them right (don’t punk them in front of the class) they will calm down and it’ll stop. The other kids watch for this and see how you react. If you go nuts, they…

If dude could bench 600, he could have picked her up in her desk and carried the whole thing out.

I’v taught for almost 20 years and I’ve never had a kid take a swing. You know why? I learned how to de-escalate a situation and let the kid save face. I learned when to not push kids on issues. I’ve learned when to let small infractions slide. I learned these things because I can never use force. It’s a shame police…
