Remembering a group of 14y/o schoolchildren in Russia who are in jail because they literally just built their school in Minecraft and bombed it with TNT. They were trialed on the same page as isis.

Also reminder: adding "in Minecraft" or some other variation of claiming it's a joke to what otherwise looks like a credible death threat will not hold up in court.

For your own safety: maybe don't.

its backend is available to people that hate you, your servers aren't private, your DMs aren't private

But today was a good day. It was the best birthday ever because of the friends that were here for me. 10 wonderful people. I am eternally grateful for every each of them. I feel like they all almost healed me.

I'm struck that, as a certification exam for teachers, there are zero questions about actual teaching and learning and by how fundamentally weird some questions are?

Why are there so many questions prompting would-be educators about the reproductive anatomy of children?

what is the fundamental biological distinction between males & females?

chromosome and reproductive anatomy

how is a child's biological sex typically identified?

visual anatomical observation and chromosomes

which chromosome pair determines biological sex in humans?

XX/XY

The Oklahoma Teacher Qualification Test from PragerU is finally up on their website (but you have to at least provide them fake contact info first):

"Educators who pass the test will receive an official PragerU Teacher Certificate..."

Educators who pass the test will receive an official PragerU Teacher Certificate, symbolizing their commitment to putting students first, honoring parents, and upholding the ideals that have guided generations of Americans
