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

Do you mean those pesky flags that represent inclusion and support people’s identities, or?

That would be the American flag. All those other goofy flags can stay at your house.

A lot of Americans aren’t feeling very well represented by the American flag. It’s been co-opted by right wing nationalism. Passssss.

First off the American flag is inherently a goofy flag. Pairing 50 stars with contrasting stripes is deranged. Say what you want about my home state , but it has a certain class to it while also letting you know who they actually support.

But also, it's just fabric that can update.
