Is it terrible that I want these for myself? At Christmas I bought K a "computer programmer" Barbie, which was also really for me because she has glasses and a cool red stripe in her hair. FFMC: I always said I wouldn't buy K Barbies because of their unrealistic bodies and focus on physical beauty. Now I'm like give me all the cool Barbies.

Betsy DeVos chairing a commission that might lead to guns in schools terrifies me. I am sure that her brother the Blackwater founder will get all the contracts. I would really like to see his ass pulled in before the Hague.

I don't understand this narrative they're pushing that there are all these ex-military skilled marksmen who are now teachers. I've worked in several elementary schools and I can't think of a single fellow faculty member who fits this profile.

I've worked in several elementary schools and I can't think of a single fellow faculty member who fits this profile. Also the "marksman" category is like the basic level of shooter training (at least in the Navy). My dad was a Navy photojournalist, he was also a certified "marksman" because he went into combat zones. He flat out said he was an ok shot, but it wasn't incredibly difficult to achieve.

Betsy DeVos can't even answer basic questions regarding serious and even the most basic issues in her profession. I feel dumber when I listen to her speak. I hate her face. And she can suck it.
Happy Monday.

This will also drive teacher's union dues through the roof bc the unions have to be able to represent the teacher if they accidentally shoot someone. Because what teachers can really afford is more expenses.

Happy Monday. What's really sad is that the Michigan charter schools system is pretty much her life's work. And she is totally clueless about it.

This whole arming educators business makes me lose my shit. I will quit my damn job and homeschool my kids if their school or mine is going to have armed personnel. I'm not being a part of that.
And Leslie Stahl is all of us looking at DeVos thinking, "I can't believe I have to calmly question this moron about her idiotic stance."

Also, "The budget is super tight so you have 32 kids in your class but we're making it rain money for guns!" We have a bond vote for a 14 million dollar levy for schools tomorrow. We only have classroom sets of textbooks, buildings are crumbling but yes LETS BUY ALL THE GUNS! *The levy is not for guns, its for the following A new high school A new elementary school Add 20 classrooms to High School and expend the cafeteria Remodel and add 10 classrooms to X Elementary Add permanent classrooms to XX Elementary Purchase future school sites but we do have one district here (its in the mountains) that does arm its staff and so its only a matter of time. ETA the levy will also allow them to sell 90 million in bonds

Also why are news outlets treating arming teachers as a viable option? Its stupid. SO STUPID and the more they cover that nonsense the more traction it gets. People start going hmmm maybe its not a bad idea. If you're gonna cover it there should be a disclaimer every minute, "ITS A HORRIBLE STUPID IDEA"

I missed most of last week's thread and this is only slightly on topic, but: I find it annoying when people complain about a newspaper's paywall. I follow The Washington Post's weather team; their reporting of our local weather is the best and most reliable, in my opinion. There are always comments on Facebook like, "I sure wish I could read the article." After my Amazon/ free WashPo subscription ran out, I paid $1 for four weeks of digital access. Since then, I have paid $10. Suck it up. Pay to support journalists or get your weather news elsewhere. /rant Amen. Quality journalism costs money.

Qatari officials have evidence Kush was influenced by the UAE but haven’t given it to Mueller because they don’t want to piss off Trump

It'll be interesting to see what Mueller's next moves are. Also...it just kills me that the president's Tweets are going to be something that historians write about. It just smacks me in the face again when I read them mentioned as factors in news articles.

I really want to get DS the Oprah Barbie from A Wrinkle in Time. I don't know if he'd like a Barbie and I don't have any special attachment to the book or movie, but Oprah. With diamond eyebrows.

I actually think Betsy DeVos IS that dense. Who on earth thought this interview was a good idea?
+1 to paying for newspapers. Or just clear your cookies. But option A is preferable.
