Highly recommend this read, especially for those in the Virginia area, or anyone who knows a Mom for Liberty.

I have a student with a severe peanut/cashew allergy. As an educator, I'm required by law to protect that student. No matter I love peanut butter, that it's my religion to eat it daily, I can't have nuts in my classroom. Period.Same with masks--if it protects one child, we do it.
Absolutely FUMING at the Diocese of Charlotte right now. Too afraid to mention vaccines so you just LET all these unvaccinated people sit around with the old people and children who are unable/unwilling to get vaccinated but still want to attend church?
The Catholic Church has always had problems setting their priorities straight, and this might be the last straw for me. They wonder why young people are leaving in masses. Do better.
In case it needed to be said: we fight against the education system BECAUSE we believe it’s the cornerstone of democracy. This continuous and evolving fight for a better education system is for the betterment of an essential part of our country that we couldn’t be gladder to have

America doesn't de-escalate. It normalizes. School shootings were something unthinkable. Now, children prepare for them as part of their curriculum.
What happened yesterday was unthinkable, and now it will be a concern every election. This doesn't go away when Trump does.
Last year at school, I had to do both lockdown and active shooter drills. Once, my teachers were told to look around for a heavy object to be used in self-defense. While my gym teacher had a baseball bat, my English teacher was standing by the door, holding a metal stapler.

If every teacher in the US scrapped their curricula & instead spent the remainder of this yr unpacking today, we’d actually get somewhere. F$@k “learning loss”; the current standards won’t develop the critical thinkers we need to fight the ugliness that is our country.
