Its difficult to not feel chills watching this scene from Panther.

But yeah the US was very happy to violently put down any form of organized black resistance. (fun fact: the bodies of the children who died in the MOVE bombing were donated to universities, without their families’ knowledge or consent)

Plus people who torture foster kids (and have DHS cover for them - the worker that tried to intervene was fired!) This cumstain did lose her license at least.

It sucks ass for those of us that are trapped here. It’s a battle that cost me my marriage, my mental health, everything. I’ve had so many friends and people I respect tap out. I had hope that if Kamala won there might be federal intervention - perhaps in education and foster care (especially kids who need psychiatric care/have disabilities, Jesus Christ is it an institution dedicated to sacrificing children to Moloch) - but nothing is probably ever going to change.

It’s bad. One of the biggest “districts” in the state is Epic Charter Schools, a virtual school/state embezzlement scam (during COVID, the “learning funds” were buying TV’s and Christmas trees). Teachers there teach all subjects, all grades, so the same person teaching your kid Algebra 2 is teaching kindergarteners how to read.

The school only drops you if you don’t log in for 14 days. So a lot of kids will log in once or twice a week, maybe submit a couple of AI generated essays, and then spend the rest of the day playing video games and watching Netflix. These kids are functionally illiterate. I’m not even talking about the fact that our country decided to stop teaching phonics which has fucked up literacy everywhere, but more high schoolers who cannot read a paragraph or write a complete sentence. I taught a sophomore what Christianity was (not like indoctrination, but more that religion existed as a concept.)

You certainly don’t need to prove that you know math to teach math.

Any bachelors is enough to get you in a classroom. I worked with physical education teachers teaching physical sciences. We didn’t have curriculum (books were more than ten years out of date) so I was teaching my colleagues how the periodic table worked.

Admittedly, this little order is pretty pointless - teachers are desperate to get out of Oklahoma. I remember driving to work every day seeing a sign I could make about 150% more just driving down to Fort Worth…

Yes, Walters is actively trying to destroy public education. He recently made an order that all schools fund free lunch for all students, using money from bonds, scholarships and other programs - all illegal.. The state turned away federal lunch funding as well. Even if you fired all of the admin staff at most districts, that is an impossible demand - and school budgets were already submitted weeks ago.

It’s absolute fucking insanity.

If you can get those football championships, it’s a-okay to show kids what “a real man’s dick looks like.” (this guy STILL has his teaching license)

I have some very inside baseball about systemic cover-ups at different schools.

Better to be a slave than killed! Columbus was so merciful to the Taino!

Just raped them.

We’ve been literally dismantling the first amendment (Establishment clause particularly). And the fourteenth (the whole fucking thing by EO).

I also usually really want people to know that, but it’s not “completing the square” or “wffence of txsquare.”
