But will the parents remember this once kids are back in ~~jail~~ school without their supervision?

@ Gringo: “Note the number of teachers arrested in the Antifa/BLM riots. ” Interesting (well, sorta). I’m not too surprised. I also heard a number were counselors as well. Good grief. Anyone have the link?

Boston Globe: Five Arrested ast Providence Protest Against Police.Those arrested including local educators….
Jul 26, 2020 Lauren Matthias, 30, of South Kingstown, a teacher at the Paul Cuffee School, a charter school in Providence, was charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.

13 ‘Antifa Teachers’ Arrested in Portland: Viral Mugshots Explained
Only one could be confirmed to have worked in education, but there was not an indication that they worked in public schools.

There was a posting claiming that 13 arrested in Portland were teachers. Snopes called it “unproven.” I have found a list of 300+ arrested in Portland riots, but no job data.

You can’t be systemically racist and have more than one third black mayors in the largest 100 cities.

There are teachers who are pro-Revo. Note the number of teachers arrested in the Antifa/BLM riots. How much are they pushing Revo in their classrooms? I am reminded of a conversation I had with a magnet school student some 2 decades ago. Being a magnet school student, he was bright, but also very contentious. He said that he wanted to become a high school teacher so that he could “educate” students to become lefties.

He got a math degree, continued his contentious political ways, and ended up teaching English in Latin America for about a decade. He came back home and recently began a new career as a high school math teacher. His decade of teaching English will probably help his teaching math. His politics haven’t apparently changed, as one can find online a comment where he supported Evo Morales’s attempt at vote fraud in Bolivia. I would not be surprised to find out he is pushing politics as much as he can in his classes. Bring on the Revo! After all, it worked so well in Latin America. 🙂

I suspect that his contentiousness is rooted in not having a functional father. His father did get a degree, got A’s in some challenging courses, and did have a job for several years. His bipolar father later became addicted to various substances and spent his life in and out of treatment facilities, the street, and prison. For decades he hasn’t held a job for more than a couple of days. His son the math teacher (for now) blames government for not assisting his father sufficiently. At least the son isn’t addicted to any drugs.

Trump is like pulling all the wishes from Ymar’s wish bag.

So funny.

The same reason people hate on Trump is the same reason people hate on Ymar. Except people don’t have the excuse of a fake news excuse when it comes to Ymar.

What you see is what you get.

One story shows why Trump’s initiative is so important.

If the Left manages to steal the election then IMO Civil War will be unavoidable because our choice will then be either ‘living’ under 1984 or fighting to reestablish 1776.

I hope we can re-establish 1776 without the War, if possible.
It will never be done without some kind of fighting, legal and political.

In the abstract, his point is that kids need a balanced presentation of American history – the bad and the good.
Which is true, although I don’t think he made sufficient allowance for starting with the Good while they are young, and introducing the Bad when they are old enough to actually understand the complexities of life and history.

However, when the house is burning down, you don’t argue about how the it should have been built, you just get the hoses running.
