And I know this is not the pressing issue of the day, but I’m still gobsmacked.

If this week gives us another sharpied map, at least we will have that in the middle of all this horrible mess.
I also imagine T is shaken by his public humiliation and is having more trouble than usual concentrating on his SOTU prep so that brings me joy.

So I have a what would you do....politics related, kind of. My daughter is in elementary school and performed in her schools musical. Her school was invited to perform in the ISD’s theatre showcase, along with several other schools. A different elementary school performed songs from The Jungle Book. They sang the King Louie song (Wanna be like you) and children were monkeys. With brown face paint. A few did full stage makeup, complete with a faux fur beard, elaborate white face paint, etc. But the majority just smudged brown face paint all over their face. Including a little KOC, and the brown face paint used matched her skintone almost exactly It made me super uncomfortable. The Fine Arts Director wasn’t there. Her son is actually in my daughters class, so I know her a little (by sight really, We’ve ever only exchanged pleasantries). Would you: A) E-mail the theatre director of the elementary school, be kind, explain the history, etc B) Go to the top and email they FA Director C) burn it down and email the superintendent ?

Rebel I would start with an email to the director. I would strike the tone of giving information/educating but I would have an ask in mind. To you, what is the desired outcome? Do you want an apology to the community/school/performers, do you want assurance it won’t happen again, a conversation or meeting to discuss? What’s a meaningful solution? That way if you get brushed off or met with defensiveness you can escalate from there. I think just raising concerns is one step, but asking for tangible change is more effective.

I need to think about the desired outcome. I’m not a part of the marginalized population, so I am definitely not the expert. The performance at the school isn’t until late April, so assurances that it won’t happen again are imperative. Beyond that, I need to think. Thanks for the feedback!

I am still laughing that 45 tweeted congrats to the great state of Kansas for winning a Superbowl. Like for real, I've died. I hate calling people stupid but fucking A he is so stupid.

These idiots will do anything to appease their number 1 viewer. I wonder how many brainiacs it took to write this garbage? And I know this is not the pressing issue of the day, but I’m still gobsmacked. Not the same. At all. His wording of the tweet was also weird. Like if the 49ers would've won, the country wouldn't have had to be proud of them.

And there's definitely a contingent that aren't super happy and proud of them (9ers fans and those who were rooting for them).

He hates San Francisco and he really hates California - which is why I really wanted the 49ers to win. lol

Well, I emailed the theatre teacher. Worked very hard to come from a place of kindness, education, etc. She’s a young teacher, this is just her 2nd year in the classroom.
I have not heard back yet. I will give her til Friday and then I’m contact the FA Director. I just asked for assurances she will not have her kids wear that makeup moving forward. That it could be hurtful to her KOC in the production, in the audience, etc. I didn’t feel it was my place to ask for an apology, just to be better.
We shall see!

That is super sweet. I wish it wasn't fucking necessary for an 8 year old boy to show more generosity than the adults in his town, but it's super sweet.
