FL Trigger warnings are ridiculous. I’d never heard about them until I was speaking on a college campus. What world are we preparing these young people for? Actual life does not give you a trigger warning before it comes up behind you and mugs you.
BM I never had children.
FL Neither did I.
BM But it looks to me, from what I see on television, like the system broke down with the parents. What’s wrong with schools is the parents, not the teachers. When I was a kid, no child could ever drive a wedge between parents and teachers — as it should be. The parents took the teachers’ side.

I would have been quite happy to do this as well if my children's teachers had restricted themselves to actually teaching my children math, english, science, music, etc.
When the teachers decided it was their job to indoctrinate my children with their left wing political views, that is when they lost my support.

"...but of course we hooked up again. I wanted to stay away from him, but I couldn’t. It was like he had some spell over me and I couldn’t control myself so it was like rape."
So, it was like rape?
The good Lord willing, she'll never know just how outrageously wrong that comment is.
Aborting his demon span [sic] was the most empowering thing I’ve ever done."
I'm assuming she didn't abort his demonic bridge and meant demon spawn. Although, with this idiot, it's hard to tell.
Again, the good Lord willing, she'll be empowered by something real in her life and leave this childish naiveté behind.
And maybe then she'll start treating abortion like the serious subject it should be and not a way to stick a metaphorical finger in the eye of a regretted sexual partner.
Probably not. Besides, she's only one of millions who think like this, a grain of sand in the desert.

When vegetarianism becomes the norm, cows will have no natural enemies.
Australian stand-up comedian Celeste Barber parodies on Instagram some of the more ridiculous fashion shots she sees. NPR's Lulu Garcia-Navarro talks to her about how she got the idea.
LULU GARCIA-NAVARRO, HOST:
This is from Celeste Barber's website. Celeste is a trained actor, writer, comedian and a bloody big deal online - indeed, she is. The Australian has become Instagram famous for her parodies of the painstakingly posed pictures of celebrities and models that you probably scrolled past before. Celeste Barber joins us on the line now from her home in New South Wales in Australia. Thanks for being with us.
CELESTE BARBER: Hi, Lulu. Hi there.
GARCIA-NAVARRO: Hi. OK. For those who have never seen your Instagram feed, tell us what we would see if we clicked around there?
BARBER: You would see a lot of inappropriate half-naked unflattering photos of me put up next to very attractive not-so-unflattering photos of celebrities. I do parodies of celebrity Instagram photos.
GARCIA-NAVARRO: Right. So there's one where Kim Kardashian is posing against a pile of sand. She's undressed, very provocative. And then there's you, sort of similarly clad, reclining against gravel (laughter)...
(snip)
...GARCIA-NAVARRO: What do women say when they contact you about this Instagram feed?
BARBER: Really, really excellent kind, uplifting things. Thank you for making me feel better. I had this one - I got this message. It was a while ago, now over a year ago. It was a mother saying that she had - has a 13-year-old daughter. And it was such a sweet message. She said, I just want you to know my daughter has taken down photos of these very thin models and put up a couple of photos of you, and she laughs a lot more now. And and I was like, OK, well, that's the best. That's so nice to hear. People are very kind to me, and I'm very appreciative of it...

Well, it was Isabs statement Gog, not mine. But yes you can find a few crazy people out there. I know of one teacher in Oklahoma who give a bag of his hair to the top student each year. Crazy and creepy. We had that teachers of the year admit to the national press that she regularly and blatantly discriminates against boys and lies to their faces. Poor lady couldn't understand what she did wrong. So no the fact that we still have a few religious nutters doing harm in the classroom isn't that big of an issue. As Isab pointed out when we got most of them to stop pushing the religious crazy they just changed to push some other crazy instead. All we could do is get them to change the flavor of the shit. But orange shit or cherry shit doesn't really matter. It's all still just shit.
Really aught to put one in his skull, just to be sure

But after watching this guy, I've learned it might not be such a good idea. A most timely intervention. Otherwise, I might have tried it myself.
