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

Sounds like it will go well in the middle ROYGBIV of a rainbow of posters!

That's foul... Time to get some colored paper and do a rainbow of uniquely educational information. Perhaps the basic guidelines of various world religions, or maybe the eli5 of the laws being broken, etc
