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. 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. Plus, to qualify for expert marksman you are in a controlled environment. There aren't screaming terrified children running around, or an armed shooter firing back at you, or or or... This whole thing is infuriating.

shadesofgold That graphic is infuriating for multiple reasons. I would argue that aside from phones, none of the things that are cheaper are necessary. The cost of healthcare is ridiculous and yet, people are given hell because they buy a relatively cheap phone and are castigated for not being able to pay medical bills.

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. I bought myself the American Girl 2018 doll- Lucianna. Her story/accessories are all about NASA and were developed with input from female scientists from NASA. The woman who wrote the books lives in NOVA.

I'm watching Van Jones with Oprah. He's so pretty.
Also I wish there was a magic wand Miss O could wave and make this country better, but not running for pres in 2020. (She makes the fact she is NOT running for office very plain)

I am not surprised by this. I can't imagine the mountain of shit they have on him from going through his finances. Follow that money.

I'm excited about this. SJ Res 54 might get a floor vote soon and I really think it could pass. IDK how others here feel about our involvement in the Yemeni civil war but I oppose it, and this bill would end it. It also sends a not-subtle reminder to Trump that he isn't allowed to unilaterally declare war. www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/senate-joint-resolution/54/text

I’m just here to rant against Betsy Devos. She is so unqualified, elitist, and horrendous for education.

Can we talk about state primaries here, or should I make another thread? In Illinois over here... state primary coming up! Curious for thoughts on Democrat for governor.

I also have a serious issue with this. If you found out the school you send your kids to was going to start arming teachers, would you change schools?

Just watched Trump be Trump with my hometown team in the background. George Springer’s face during the whole thing is what I will remember--always—lol. When Trump turned around and grabbed his arm all bro style, my H very seriously said “Don’t touch George.” And I fell in love with him all over again.

I also have a serious issue with this. If you found out the school you send your kids to was going to start arming teachers, would you change schools? Absolutely. I am scared shitless of this, esp because many people are even more scared of black boys. I would avoid this school at all costs. To me this is the scariest part of arming teachers- The likelihood they would shoot children of color because they were "afraid". Black and brown babies will die because we want to uphold white supremacy through the NRA and 2nd amendment.

This is disappointing. I like how they've tackled issues in the past and the PPD episode really resonated with me. There's also an episode in the first season where we meet the MIL and it's like they wrote my life story.
ABC pulled episode of Blackish focused on athletes kneeling during the national anthem.

I STILL dont understand the willingness of people to turn schoolyards into the damn OK Corral. We are not the wild west. Lets have some civility. AND I live in a place where its very possible a predator of the 4 legged variety could wander onto school grounds. Bears, mountain lions, moose all meander their way into town here. And we still call fish and game and even then THEY dont shoot to kill. ffs
Can't afford more than a classroom set of books, teachers are buying their own supplies, we can't forgive school lunch debt for lower income kids who are just above the threshold for free/reduced lunch but we can certainly afford to arm and train teachers. the disconnect is astounding.

Agreed, there’s just no way a white woman won’t eventually be shooting a black boy. Oh, and then found not guilty.

I agree with this being dangerous for children of color. I was also thinking about stories my mom has told me about teaching. (She teaches high school). Being spit on, cursed out, threatened, etc. It is already difficult for teachers to hold their cool in those situations. Arming them sounds like an absolutely terrible idea. I would worry some would snap.
