To all of the public school teachers, aides, librarians, custodians, cafeteria workers, etc. out there doing the damn thing every day, you are all heroes. There is nothing that this administration can dish out that will diminish your effort, compassion and commitment to your kids. You rock!

I live in a nice, sleepy southern town and hell yeah, there are those of us here who will protest. And protesting peacefully isn’t rioting, Stephen, you ghoul!

A staffer at the Dept of Ed. said that almost everyone who administers funds for IDEA has been laid off and he doesn’t see how these programs will continue to exist. Going after the most vulnerable among us is the epitome of evil.

This is spot on. They really can communicate with their noises and tone. Especially when you aren’t following orders. 😂😂😂. When I have to dress in all black for orchestra I literally have to run from them so they don’t shower me with German Shepherd glitter.😘
