Better late than never I guess?
Geez I just realized many people probably never lived to see this fixed... fuck. Now I'm sad and feeling extra mortal.
What a disgusting load of bullshit.
The school board is going to investigate. I wonder what will happen.
The article below has more details of the whole fiasco.
In effect, it will be for some people fed up with all this bullshit.
RIP and condolences to the family. But yeah I agree. ll the seats need that. We need regular, young, honest, decent people running for office and tossing out the out of touch fossils that have sold out to too many favors and donations from giant corpos and billionaires.
I don't think "burns herself" is quite the turn of phrase I would've chosen but then I don't like the taste of boot leather so... yeah.
... Darryl was suspended the same week the state’s CROWN Act, a law prohibiting discrimination based on one’s hair texture or protective hairstyle such as locs and braids, went into effect.
This is what systemic racism looks like in real life.
We barely got to the point of impeaching Nixon for his bullshit and Reagan got off scott free for Iran-Contra. So it shouldn't be too surprising that Bush didn't get keelhauled for his bullshit invasions especially since most of the morons in Washington were totally on board with it.
Some of us could see it coming from a mile away with Afghanistan. (Just had to look back to how it went for the USSR and like every other country that tried before us (see "Graveyard of Empires").
Iraq* looked an awful lot like bullshit driven by greed, oil, and "finishing what daddy started" at the time. Idk about the last one now but the first two? Definitely. But fucking Congress went along with all of it. Probably lobbied by billionaires.
So no way was he going to pay for his crimes.
People at the top in this country rarely do.
Having read the title, I think I might be having a stroke... Or really need the iced latte this morning...
Yes they are. Kemp seems to have had all sorts of tricks up his sleeve to suppress voters. This "no you can't prosecute our people" committee is no great surprise to me.
The GOP will stop at nothing to ensure they can do whatever the fuck they want. Across the board in every way they can imagine they threaten to further degrade and eventually destroy democracy. For them, Russia is a model of what they're going for.
Awesome news! Go India! 🇮🇳
The book, My Shadow Is Purple is one I have had the pleasure to read thanks to my wife's job as a school librarian. The theme of the book is acceptance of differences, centered around a child's parent who at first seems unaccepting but who surprises the child and the reader at the end for a happy, wholesome outcome.
The board went against the recommendation of a panel and fired her over this book, voting along party lines, for an offense that would not ever warrant termination in an even marginally sane world. To me, this strongly suggests that this is another case of extremist right wing / regressive people trying to silence and further marginalize people different from them. Out of fear and hate, as usual. The effect of which is detrimental to each of the children who are not gender conforming. I personally think this school board needs to hear from people opposed to their decision en masse. They have already gone too far with their harmful ambitions.

It genuinely blows my goddamn mind that this article is actually considered news and has to even be published.
Like, what the fuck do they teach people in business school these days?? Just cut costs endlessly? Like "I have this restaurant with no employees that serves nothing and charges $1B per customer. I will be rich!" ??
