I truly don’t understand the people who think teachers telling children how to run, hide, and fight during school shootings is normal but think a teacher acknowledging that someone has two moms or two dads is indoctrination.

Jesus wasn’t a lesbian! He also wasn’t armed but you know. Details.
girl SAY IT LOUD FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK 🗣️
MAGAts are disgusting failures as people
Ya gotta consider that the Right People make money off school shootings.
It's hypocrisy, plain and simple.
American Exceptionalism
Remember when the right complained about ‘politically correct terms’ It’s hypocrisy! Mass shootings have already ‘corrupted’ a whole generation of kids and grandkids; we don’t know yet how it will affect them as they grow older- but the subject of sex is totally taboo while mass shootings are norm
As our son and daughter in law said ( they live in Japan) America is the only place in the world that loves their g**s more than children.
Exactly!
Couldn't agree more KD 💙
Jess! Good to see you. How are you?
Hi KD 💙great to see you as well! I am doing great thank you, living w my fiance Peter and our rescue dog (from Rumania)Noah❤️. In September my yogastudio celebrates one year and I am so grateful to be working w what I love 🙏. How are you sweetie?
given our remarriage rate, many kids have 2 moms or 2 dads or both.
My kids have 3 moms because gay and because they're just lucky like that.
I have many friends who are same sex couples. #LoveIsLove

Narrow-mindedness is a common trait amongst ignorant, bigoted people. Hope that helps.
As an outsider, I'm frequently struck by how many Americans, even quite smart and progressive ones, grossly underestimate how utterly insane some aspects of their country appear to the rest of the world.
We know, we’re soaking in it. Your observations aren’t helpful in the least.
Such a great point. A sad commentary about where we are as a nation.
Amen to that
Earlier I was reminded on the Gary Jules cover of the Tears for Fears hit "Mad World" which was featured in the film Jonny Darko. Yep, we are living in a mad world.
💯🎯
There are a ton of people n this country that are frighteningly seriously FUcKED UP snd zoom not certain at this point exactly WHAT they are descended from… watch your backs out there!
And we never will understand because we're not bigots
It’s America.🤷♀️😢
So true. Great post!
It is utterly baffling
Teachers have a heavy load. They work way outside their job description and they have done a great job!!
For sure! I went through a real active shooter scenario. It was 4 hours of lockdown with middle schoolers hiding under my lab tables. No bathroom, no water, no food and scared kids. Police coming in with weapons ready. Turned out to be a false alarm but still it was traumatic.
I remember sending kids off to ymca summer camp and thinking I need to tell them about same sex couples. I told my kid sometimes kids have 2 dads or 2 moms. She said she knew. And that her friends' 2 moms are really nice.
💯
Absolutely 💯💯💯
Screw the hypocritical assholes. VOTE.
As a teacher, thank you.
None of this is normal. Children cannot have two fathers or two mothers. Two women cannot give birth to the same child and two men cannot conceive the same child. And it's indoctrination, yes. And unnatural, harmful to the child's development. That kind of thing turns people away from the Left.
It seems by your logic step parents,foster parents etc.. don’t exist. There are many types of families, it’s been that way longer than some realize. Nobody’s business how anyone chooses to live so long as everyone is safe. In school the teacher shouldn’t be discussing the setup of any family.
There’s no need for it. Since when does a child start school without the knowledge of family setups. That something that’s taught at home early on. They have questions, communicate with the parents.
I will not argue because it is pointless. You have your truth, and I believe pediatricians. Children from single-parent families, particularly those with single mothers, show a higher likelihood of engaging in criminal behavior. Because there is no father who sets boundaries for the child early on.
SMH You shouldn’t display your ignorance.
That pediatrician's name? Albert Einstein.
What pediatrician ever told you that shit! Because that pediatrician is a bigot! Raising a child is a labor of love, not gender. In the real world, protecting your child from the likes of people like you and other asshats doesn't need a penis or a vagina.
All a parent needs is a discerning mind and a lot of patience!
That is a very narrow world view. Thing is, love is love. And in my opinion, if it doesn't affect you, why care? Just like pro-lifers. If you disagree, don't get an abortion. Foisting beliefs on other ppl is not "live and let live". It's control. ✌️
One cannot understand the irrational that is indoctrinated by religion.
My dad thinks it’s ok to have the 10 Commandments in the classroom, because the “Pride flag is everywhere” I told him it’s actually been banned in some places, and unless it’s allows in the classroom, it’s not the same
The Ten Commandments don’t belong in a class and the only flag that should be in a class is the American flag.
I agree. But if u make an argument for 1, u have to allow the other
Disagree. Religion was finally seperated from gov't for a reason. Look to the middle east to see how religious governing works. It doesn't. We are way beyond that. France has been a good example since the Napoleonic era. ✌️
So u r FOR having the 10 Commandments in classrooms then? I don’t quiet understand what u mean
No I'm not. Public schools are for all ppl of all faiths. That's what tax payers pay into. Private scools are another matter.
I agree. So what’s ur issue? I’m not understanding what u r trying to say with ur comment
Which one is trauma?
As a retired teacher, I agree.
Great question 🙋🏻?
Now compare compensation for these teachers against the trash being hired by ICE.
Maybe is both dads had guns?
That’s because it makes no fucking sense
Do your part!!!! Vote in a BLUE WAVE too big and beautiful to ignore!
You know they live in a logic-free zone. 🥴
For real. My kids and their parents came in a multitude of variety. Why should any of that bother anyone? And yet, it does. Which is so sad, because all of that diversity made for a great experience for all of us in my school, in my classroom, in my community.
The first thing is mind + control. The mentality of finite ownership I have x amt of control, if I give an inch I'll lose a mile. I have a cookie jar, if I give a cookie, you know the person will want another & another. It's a slippery slope from accommodating change to being asked to accept it.
It takes two. The feeding off of each other is IMHO the problem. If you don't believe in a common god, you can't bestow the blessing or achieve it! Right now, I am in Florida serving a hospiced loved one in a terminal situation. All anyone can bestow upon me is gratitude.
For an Atheist, blessings aren't available or achievable. Why can't we establish simple gratitude as all-powerful? Because a fantasy of heaven and a fantasy of better than now has to accompany the fragile mind, or they won't do what I am doing every minute of every day
until this family member dies and I can go back to NYC. Accolades should be enough: patience, kindness, intuition, love, all these things are greatly needed right now, but somehow, god taking the suffering (which he hasn't) is the ultimate desire above all other desires.
We want her to die. This is horrendous living, but we have to call it "pass." And bad and good blessings from above have new meaning according to who is doing the work! Well, guess what, I am doing the work, in-home hospice has helped, and god has zero to do with it! Sorry to vent, but I trust you.
I have gone through this. My Mom had Vascular Dementia. All you can do is love them more. Helpless yes. And watching them suffer brings a lot of emotions. I'm so sorry. I lost my Mom 5 yrs ago at 93yrs. I miss her everyday.
I'm so sorry. It's so true. The work is exhausting and never ends. I have been lucky, and of course, others say blessed, to be here many times, at end of life, for many. I think it's lucky because the joy is incomparable in a way only you can understand now that you went through it.
Exactly.
I'm agnostic. I'm the wait and see person. I just can't get on board with human created religions. I think it's arrogant as a faulty species to assume any 1 faith is the right one. 🙂💙
Geoff inspires me so much! At 1st, I was hardcore Atheist, but some strange thing happened to me recently, like a year now. Someone who hurt me terribly died. Honestly, I could have cared less and had no idea she was close to death.
At that precise moment of death, in a dream, and I never recall dreams and have no idea what this dream was except that I knew we were talking a long time. I sat up like the Exorcist girl and shouted out loud, "it's ok, I forgive you!" It was an out of this world experience.
Since then, I have been intrigued. I come from very religious, very spiritual, clergy filled family who I love dearly, but thought they were all nuts to believe such nonsense. I still do. But it happened...
Sorry to hear what you're going through. I think one of the many problems with the prevailing cultural christianity in America is that it avoids the meaningful subject of suffering. I wouldn't judge god's limits by them. Doing good works in Simple Gratitude ⬇️, I love that. bsky.app/profile/hand...
Love you!! You are the bestest!
It absolutely paralyzes people, especially conservatives who also connect merit to blessings (good things).
The two moms and dads thing is so cringe anyway. I know loads of families where the parents divorced amicably, and the kids now have two sets of parents who might both show up. I mean, Divorce rates in this country are, what, 50% or more?
Well said.
The USA is a hyper-violent end stage dystopia. Gender politics are the least of your problems.
