(21,646 posts)say stuff . It was the studrnts art in the end but what the teacher wanted
My kid already was in art shows and had won awards by the time this happened
.And no profanity no nudity , political slant etc.
Moved to only computer art classes where the dept. teachers were more hands off

(51,643 posts)then switched to teaching elem school (artists can't afford rent sometimes and forget health insur!) and I am appalled I taught art to my students in lessons from all subjects (math, social studies, science, reading/writing, etc) and they loved it and learned about the subject much better. I can't imagine any legit art teacher stifling freedom and creativity. I always told my kids what I learned in Art School, "Art is whatever you believe it to be". It is a thoroughly subjective opinion and experience.

(6,232 posts)Sadly, the repubs for decades have made feminism/feminist a dirty word. Listen to a lot of women who say stuff like, we don't need feminism. I'm not a feminist, etc. It makes me sick. Many women are our own worst enemy. Or maybe it's that those women are with rich men and don't give a damn.

I cant drink carbonized beverages anymore, so wine and whiskey are my remaining pleasures.

(45,565 posts)they like having education and opportunities and choices for themselves but not others.
whathehell
(29,096 posts)I mean, how do they justify it publicly?..They can't just come out and say "I'm better than you", though they well may think it.
IronLionZion
(45,565 posts)you have to exclude some people
They really enjoy dividing people by class or other ways that benefit a few at the expense of many.
whathehell
(29,096 posts)I just wondered what their public rational for it was.
calimary
(81,527 posts)and speeches to spread her message that women should stay home and not have careers.
eppur_se_muova
(36,305 posts)Not that long ago (it doesn't take me long to forget sources, sometimes) I read a rather lengthy account of everything that PS did to encourage people to vote against ratifying the ERA. It made the pretty convincing argument that she alone carried more responsiblilty for ERA's failure to be ratified than any other person or organization. The irony was that she wasn't much of a stay-at-home mom herself, but that was the ideal she claimed to be defending. She worked so tirelessly for ERA's defeat it's hard to understand what drove her. Only religious dogma seems to be able to get RWNJs to make that kind of effort.
IronLionZion
(45,565 posts)There were states that ratified the amendment and she got them to rescind it. She was a real piece of work.
Her own mother worked during the great depression, and she worked in an ammunition plant during WW2 and then went on to college and law school. She also seemed to claim that feminism helps younger women and minorities while screwing over older white women, and got supporters based on that lie.

distracts from your message which I thought was very good. Weird an art teacher would say such a thing. They are usually all about the art and not so much about the message.

(20,773 posts)Canadian/British English spells it that way, just as they spell "civilisation" thusly.
