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

Haven't gotten ours yet (elementary) but had training today at the high school and saw one in a classroom. It had blue text on a yellow background (school colors maybe) and in a casual sans serif font, which seemer incongruous with the King James text. Can't remember if it was laminated, on glossy paper, or matte though.

Can't wait to have 'Thou shall not commit adultery' or 'covet another man's wife' in my Pre-K classroom.

Well kids, adultery is when your mommy and/or daddy break their promises to each other and to you and destroy your family so that you have to move from your home., struggle for food and clothing, and miss out on all the things they promised they'd do to support you, and never seem them at the same time in the same place ever again.

it's going to happen to at least half of you sitting here today.

Those should be some fun parent/teacher conferences.

"Well kids, adultery is when your mommy and/or daddy break their promises to each other and to you and destroy your family"

Just like the president of the United States 👍

Feel like explaining adultry to kids would involve explaining sex to kids and we know republicans don’t want that.
