When you send your son to school in a blue state

Murdered by words

They started defunding schools after Brown Vs. Board of Education

- Our country never grew out of slavery and has always held a secret "clan" of people desperate to return to those times.
  One reason is we never properly followed-up after the civil war. We gave the landowners and organizers of the confederacy clemency and let them keep owning land and let them keep their wealth and in many cases, nothing really changed in the south other than the absence of a lot of young men who died.
  In a more reasonable world, we would have hung them all and started a massive re-education campaign across the southern states. I don't even believe in capital punishment, but I know in the context of history, certain horrors have to be embraced if you don't want to keep fighting the same war over and over and over.
  
  Reconstruction worked, until the Compromise of 1876

I was a trans teacher (stealth, students and teachers didn’t know), and I did have a few students tell me that they were trans.
I asked them if they wanted me to call them by a different name or use different pronouns, and told them I would support them if were mistreated by other staff or administration and wanted my help. Truly evil indoctrination.
Like, what matters to me is that that homework has a name I recognize and give a grade for. Teachers are way too fucking busy to be indoctrinating your kids, especially the ones in hell hole red states (feeder middle school had 100+ kids in some classrooms - I remember being at a PD when someone asked how to adopt the activity for a stranding room only classsroom….)
- I...
  Did you say "standing room only" classrooms?
  How? Moreover, how?
  
  That middle school also had actual riots where multiple teachers were injured. They were very good at limiting news coverage - this was part of a stupid program of consolidating schools that was a horrific disaster. (No consideration about gang territory or bus lines.)
  I also knew a guy who was hired without a background check as an adjunct/emergency certification - and they gave him a cafeteria for a classroom. (Requirements a few years ago relaxed to just require a college degree in anything, now even that’s optional. The nicer districts brag about all of their teachers having college degrees.)
  I have been trying to blow so many whistles for so long, but absolutely no one gives a shit. The Supe is too busy spending Ed money on Trump Bibles.
  
  This is part of the defunding of education. 20 years ago my high school was wall-to-wall desks you had to squeeze to get to, and it's only gotten worse since then.
- I wonder how often people around me are Trans and scared of being ousted by society on the slightest hint of confession. In India btw, here any difference is grounds for abuse.

I was sent to school in a red state (Indiana) and still ended up like the top picture, who's laughing now?
- You can’t judge the school by the state. You also got to look at the city and ranking. I went to school in a red state but in a liberal suburb.
- Hey Hoosier! Hope your education wasn't too lacking and that you're loving life a little more as yourself

Sadly a lot of them would still prefer the bottom to the top.
- so you're saying they're closeted bottoms?
  
  So closeted they're in the neighbor's house
- I prefer bottoms to tops but not like this.
  
  Same :3

If that were true, there would be no trans kids born in red states. The lack of logic is astounding. No wonder they move away from you all.
- The lack of logic is astounding.
  These are the same people who think abstinence only education works. Safe to say they're a few fries short of a Happy Meal.
  
  "If you stop testing you won't have positive cases."
  Literally "If I don't see it it doesn't exist."
  Children have better object permanence than these fuckers.
  
  A few cards short of a deck
- they probably believe that is the case too, since trans kids in red states clearly have a harder time coming out

Does instagram really let the hateposts like the top one fly?
Can we find the person who posted it and beat the shit out of them? I know, I know, I'm just doing internet tough guy right now, but I really am sick of all these hateful assholes making the world worse. They post who they are under their real name! Burn their house down!
- You can post hitler images with hitler quotes along with "Cleanse Europe" calls for action.
  I've seen black people in EU compared to animals, and random muslims on the streets equated to terrorists (all on Instagram, while scrolling through puppy videos)
  Instagram is pretty close to X-formerly-known-as-Twitter
- Facebook now has a carve out in their anti-bigotry rules that specifically declares it okay to call trans people mentally sick.
  Burn the whole thing down and start from scratch.
  
  Burn the whole thing down and start from scratch.
  Had me in the first half, lost me in the second.
  
  Where can this carve-out be found? I looked at their Code of conduct for bullying and harassment and did notice that harassment related to gender only seems to be protected for "private minors" and not for adults.
  
  in Facebook's case, burn it down and salt the earth so it can never be started again
  
  Also, I believe there’s a similar carve out for referring to women as “property.”
- Yes, posts about Israel bombing hospitals are more likely to be removed than literal nazi apologia.

School in a red state... isn't that just home"school"ing? Picture still applies, though.
- Someone fact check me, but I remember reading that in death by firearms of minors, school shootings are second only to home accidents. Poorly secured arms and children without supervision is a bad combination.

lost son is lost son
- One is happy and the other is dead. What are you talking about?
- In some cases, lost son is gained daughter.
  
  Girl bad >:(
  
  I think they mean if your a dad that hates your kid for being trans, your not ever getting that kid back. They are done with you.
  Lost son, lost daughter, lost family.
  
  A "lost" son is truly just wandering.

Then have it followed up by 'them' also destroying the monument after the fact
For starters... /s...holy crap y'all are weird.
Second, I'm referencing people in red states that typically destroy the roadside vigils, or memorials for people who were murdered.
Y'all are weird as fuck..downvote away though. Act before understanding what you're doing. Looks good on ya
- Oh? What monument have "they" destroyed, exactly?
  Was it the Ten Commandments one in front of a certain state capitol?
  Or, perhaps you're alluding to any number of dead white rapists w/ stars & stripes on their costumes that stood, uncorrected, for too long to be excusable?
  Are "they" with you right now? Whispering soft, tempting secrets like thigh-warmed honey into your totally-resistant ear holes, eh sweetcakes?
  Maybe, try one fewer Macs a day and take care of you, instead. Not only can you be happier, but everyone around you'll benefit from a better you, too.
  Just a thought, neighbor.
  
  What are you guys talking about?
  
  What are you talking about?
  I literally have no clue what you are going on about...I was talking about the vigils/roadside memorials that maga weirdos tend to destroy that are on the sides of the road. No clue why the downvotes, or whatever the heck that other person was rambling about. I assume they are confused.
- Yeah this is one of those times that there should have been more words in the post first draft. A lot of people on the right say 'them' in scare quotes to talk about people they consider "undesireables"
  
  Understood, I'll be more verbal even though I get told I talk too much/ramble. Social is confusing :(
- Imagine being so stupid you get angry at imaginary problems.
  
  What are you talking about. Roadside memorials for people who were murdered have 100% been destroyed by maga people...
  Try to understand something, before you act on it..please. This is my issue with ALL of humanity and one of the major reasons why I don't socalize with anybody anymore. Good riddance
  A different way of putting it....the ones who insult the kid in the top photo, would also be the same ones who would destroy app the flowers for the slain kids in the bottom photo.
