Learn4Life Edgewood of San Antonio placed a teacher on leave for displaying a pride progress flag in his classroom. The school wants to be inclusive of its LGBTQ+ students, but it’s near impossible with Rs in the legislature breathing down its neck. https://www.texasobserver.org/a-queer-teacher-in-edgewood-picked-a-fight-he-couldnt-win/ @TexasObserver
Oh, I have words...I just can't repeat them here...grrr.

@TruthSandwich@qoto.org Bingo. @zleap
@customer228 !! Even when I visit my oncologist I’m the only one masked. @GottaLaff
@yurnidiot @Ivory has that feature. But without the paperclip.
@GottaLaff Yes. Same. I should have been more specific. Will update.
@zleap There was once a sp’ed teacher at my school who was placed on
(paid) administrative leave for a year after hitting a student. At the end of the year, they just moved him to another school. @TruthSandwich@qoto.org
Sara Sharif: Murdered girl was being home schooled, says neighbour

Perhaps rather than giving these useless managers / social workers promotion, then allowing them to take up other similar jobs, they should be SACKED, stripped of pensions and barred from any positions where the welfare of others is at stake.
It would provide an incentive to others that when it comes to safeguarding it is their job to ACT and not make excuses.
Perhaps reduce the benchmark where people can intervene.
Note that #JeffreyClark, like #MarkMeadows, is claiming he should not have to surrender for arrest in #FultonCounty. Clark is a disgrace to the legal profession. He has a real chance to be U.S. Attorney General if Trump is returned to the White House. Beyond sickening.
@Hey_Beth Too predictable.
@slcw Kinda like Alabama schools. @StillIRise1963
@StillIRise1963 @philip_cardella I think there's some deep societal trauma going on here and people, from our leaders on down, are really not dealing with it very well. Seeing masks is a reminder that this isn't over and a lot of folks aren't willing to deal with that.

In your opinion (and if you’re old enough to remember), which of these 1970s American sitcoms about black families was the all-around best, and why?
