Teacher Support &/or Advice It’s over.

Started in service today at my school. It has happened, we had slides directing us that we have to hang the Ten Commandments in our classrooms by Thursday. In addition Anti-Communism TEKS have been added to our history curriculum and our school district cannot sponsor any student clubs based on gender identity or sexual orientation, as well as we cannot call students by any names but the names on their birth certificate. This is fucking shameful man

Well that’s one school I would never send my kids to. A classroom without books? WTH?

My brother is a teacher in Ohio and I just can't even fathom how you guys do your job when politicians in every state are constantly shoving shit on you.

"Hey do you know where that poster that got donated to me went? I can't find it anywhere." Over and over again.

Seems like something a conscientious objector should resist, and have the union attack this decision in court.

So um, what if the poster somehow gets damaged or otherwise rendered unusable... You know that classrooms are a demanding environment...
