I have posted this before but .. 26 years ago, a gunman entered Dunblane Primary School in Scotland, killing 16 kids and a teacher. The UK govt responded by enacting tight gun control legislation. In the 9400+ days since, there have been a total of O school shootings in the UK.

The right to be free from fear in the classroom and return home after school is greater than the right to unrestricted weaponry.

The red line is when Republicans ended the national assault weapons ban.

But it's totally worth it, am I right?

Honest Question: Is America the only nation where teachers know exactly which classroom supplies they will use as a weapon just in case? #OnlyInAmericanSchools

I hear from people regularly out here in New York who say “I don't know if I want to go to a red state right now because they’re not safe."

I’m putting a orange tile next to my name on Twitter to show I’m with the moral majority of Americans who want stronger gun laws. If you support gun reform put a 🟧 next to your name on Twitter. To do this just go to edit profile.

Instead of protecting kids from getting shot… Texas Republicans are teaching them BLEEDING CONTROL TECHNIQUES Training 9-year-olds in battlefield protocol and TRAUMA CARE Giving parents DNA KITS to identify their kids’ dead bodies Welcome to “Christian family values”, y’all

Countries where public colleges are tuition free: Norway Sweden Denmark Finland Ireland Germany France Iceland Spain Egypt Greece American un-exceptionalism: Student debt in America: $2 trillion

It's a sh*tty day for people with empathy. But empathy is still the better path. Keep going. The cruelty will not win.

MAGA: Canceling student loans is immoral. This is why we need a Govt based on the Bible Deuteronomy 15: “At the end of every seven years you must cancel debts. This is how: Every creditor shall cancel any loan they have made.” MAGA: Not that part of the Bible #CancelStudentDebt

This was the temperature in my classroom at 2:55 pm today. My teammate’s classroom got up to 91, and the class down the hall hit 94. It’s no wonder the kids couldn’t focus for anything! 🤦🏻‍♀️ #cowx #BacktoSchool2023

Update on the classroom A/C saga: The unit was supposed to be fixed yesterday. One critical guy was a no show after everyone else came, so they had to cancel it. It was 90 degrees again in my classroom yesterday, and it’s already 84 degrees in there right now. So fun.

That’s been my standard practice here for several years, and it’s only escalated since you-know-who took over. More than twenty-three thousand and counting!
