Adversity, if for no other reason, is of benefit, since it is sure
to bring a season of sober reflection. People see clearer
at such times. Storms purify the atmosphere.

Talk about really petty people.
Hard to take that the vote the Reps. did was a get-even vote. I would just say to them -- wow, getting a taste of your own medicine and you find it bitter and un-palatable. Welcome to my world.

Good, good, good. Now if he'd keep up his good deeds and resign the Court.
I know he is not going to, but the thought of him gone is so pleasant, I can't help but have it.

spookiesmom,
See page 1450 of this thread for my response to this tragedy for public education in FL. I may be retired but I’m a passionate advocate for quality public education. I find this scary and completely unacceptable.

Gosh, by that logic, my years of teaching should automatically earn me a job in the military. Sniper? Helicopter pilot? Tank Commander? Navy Seal? Hmmmm.....which shall I choose? I probably would look best in the Air Force uniforms......

Me too, Ruth! I don’t get ticked off easily and mad or angry are words that are never used to describe me but… I am furious when teachers are devalued like this. And, I am not furious because of the insult to my profession (though make no mistake, this is a huge insult) but furious about the harm this will do to our children. An uneducated population is a gift to dictators and authoritarian regimes. Support public education and vote!

It is part of their plot to destroy public education, IMO. Also, with an inferior education; along with diminished academic skills, people have poorer critical thinking skills. Both of those deficits will make them much more vulnerable to propaganda and mind control. Donald Trump didn't say that he loved the poorly educated because he wants to play golf with them at Mar-la-go.

My DD is currently a teacher. Spent time, and a lot of $$ getting a Masters She just got her LPN license last month She is getting out. For a lot of reasons. Fear of getting shot. The lousy pay. The lousy government. You name it.
I worked for the same district for 23+ years. I had to get out 12 years ago. Couldn’t take the bs any longer.
I don’t know who to point a finger at, but at least in FloriDuh is awful.

If we could but recognize our common humanity, that we do belong together,
that our destinies are bound up in one another's, that we can be free only together,
that we can be human only together, then a glorious world would come into being
where all of us lived harmoniously together as members of one family, the human family.

Not having done all that well in school myself ( regrets for what I could have done and didn't ) I still can recognize how many ( and it is mainly on the right ) would prefer to 'dumb' down as many as possible and doing it by roadblocking the nation's teachers. Were I a teacher I think I'd be almost happy to go find another profession. Sad because having great teachers is the best opportunity to help our children and grandchildren learn how to grow and compete in a very changable society -- one right now more interested in making sheep of children. That is a crime.
I hope there are enough 'good' minds left to keep steering in the right direction and if we can get the 'roadblockers' out of our hair, get it all back in a far better direction for teachers who can then help students find and use their potential.
I have taken a little mini-vacation from most of the tv politics. It is very repetitive and so no matter which side you are on sort of numbs you a bit toward seeing ALL sides somewhat equally. Hopefully I will be able to keep up enough to offer my ideas and feelings here.
I am back to being disgusted that the Loon walks around as he does, and hoping that DOJ/Garland is heavy into investigations. If anyone ever saw anyting useful in the Loon, it was I'm sure, their ability to use him. Then again I've often said -- only people like him, narcissist and sociopath together as he is, seem to be able to get away with so much, if only from the standpoint that it is un-believable to us that people would behave as those people do, right in our face.
So Garland, I hope you really are keeping most of what you are doing under some wraps and that soon we all get the 'surrpise' we hope is awaiting for the Loon.

Love this meme! Ignoring history doesn’t change it. It just makes the future more dangerous without a foundation in understanding the past.

On the National Archives is the quote "The Past is Prologue" and it is apparent that we have not learned from our past as evidenced by the need to cancel historical events that do not suit the purposes of the Repugnican party and their henchmen. Are you not disturbed by the speech that Alito gave in Rome where he announces his future plans? He is a scary man who is hell-bent on destroying the Constitution in favor of conservative Christian beliefs of which he has almost proclaimed himself the arbiter.

Betrayal, that is filed under sad, but oh so very true. Didn't we come to a new world to leave religious suppresions behind. I would have thought Alito could understand history and not repeat it. He is VERY frightening.

A little thought to finish out the day.
