then it's let 'er rip

With authoritativism rising worldwide, billionaires operating with impunity, corrosive social media, envirnomntal catastrophies, and crap like this story out of Florida....well, the future doesn't look so bright.

It, but turned it off.
To close to reality for me.
I won't watch the rest.

And eye-opening. It’s what’s happening now.

Thanks

...or if the kid has, proves even more the need for protecting the student over the bigotry of the parent. That also allows the student to learn.

We need quality teachers in other states - hope she can pick up and move.

WTF???

I may have lost a friend over this stupid woke shit. She says she's tired of having to be careful with pronouns. I asked, exactly how many people have asked you to use a different pronoun & if they're someone in your network, why wouldn't you respect that? Turns out no one's asked her she's just tired of all the trans talk. I have no idea who her friends are since she moved, but I told her I thought this whole woke crap was just the whine of the day by a bunch of bigots with nothing going on in their own lives. I haven't heard back from her & that was three months ago. The amazing thing is, she's Canadian. This tariff shit hadn't happened then, but Trump had talked about making Canada the 51st state.

Because that’s all they’re really asking here. Don’t hurt their feelings on purpose what’s the point of it and don’t pretend it’s too much trouble to use different names or pronouns

I had a similar conversation with a cousin I grew up with & said, "When we were kids we called it being polite."

My name was considered to be "childish" I was told by my teacher named "Mrs. Beasley".

I was named after my grandaunt. She died in 1962.

I went by that name (and still do with old acquaintances).

Some know me by my renamed name, others don't.

These days I'm going by my grandaunt's name.

I never like the renamed name.

I think Lumpy and Lardass like a word. Maybe it’s a nickname, I was never called by my full birth name in school. How do they know it was changed because of gender identity? Such bullshit. It’s hard to believe.

In this case, Calhoun was respecting the wishes of a student whose legal name is associated with girls, a person familiar with the situation said.

To firing people for using names not on the approved list pretty quickly.

I.e. starting January 20th of this year.

Every time Democrats take back the White House, they spend most of the next four years on damage control from the previous four years of republican rule. Next time (if there is one) they will need 6 out of the next 4 years for damage control, and tghat doesn't even begin to deal with sick stories like this one at the state level..
