When folks talk about “liberal teachers,” I like to tell the story about a Science teacher who worked down the hall from me. She had an extra credit activity where the kids built Trump‘s wall out of Kleenex boxes…

I wish we could build a wall around MAGAs. Give them an area in the Midwest where Trump and be their Führer and leave us the hell alone.

Would rather give them all a one way ticket to Mars. Not all of the Midwest voted for that ass clown.

Last I checked Illinois and Minnesota are Midwest. I was purely thinking of land opportunities where they can live and have that orange menace as their dictator & leave the rest of us alone.

Yeah, you can tell Missouri is more progressive than our representatives would let on, because we repeatedly pass ballot measures on things like abortion rights, only to have the state legislature overturn the will of the people.

My neighbor was a high school English teacher (suburb of KC MO). She told me how she taught her students about socialism and America turning into Venezuela if they voted for Bernie Sanders in 2020. I then proceeded to gently advise her about socialism.... 🤪

How was she not written up for that? It was in our teacher expectations that we don't teach or promote/talk against a specific candidate or party or proposition, etc.

My cross-hall teaching colleague openly recruits for his fundamentalist youth group. Prayers are offered before staff meals during PD (I arrive late to meals). A sub left my class to go pray in the hall with a student from another class. All these damn liberals.

When folks talk about "liberal professors", I think about our hiring database. We've got over 700 applicants this year (everybody applies everywhere) and I doubt more than 50-75 are from the US. There's a good chance that *none* are MAGA. Yet they complain that none of them get hired.

I taught for 30 years. I know for a fact that not every teacher was liberal then. I retired in 2010. I hope today’s public school teachers have wised up with MAGA vouchers and the accusations of “indoctrination “ by right wingers.

I feel so much better about social security in jeopardy and paying higher taxes and alienating our global allies and deporting citizen toddlers and a crashing stock market and a Chinese-American naval standoff and religious coup now that Donald Trump and Republicans have caught a dozen criminals.
