I went back to work finally a month ago
today had to do a suicide protocol and then found out the kid is in foster care
when we called "mom" she blamed it on "the other race"
our next call was to child protective services and 911
I teach in a pretty diverse population it is normal for kids of all races to be friends and even "date"
it is beyond the pale that adults and their hatred cause 15 year olds to suicide

(15,355 posts)With their effing Limbaugh and Hannity hate radio spewing bullshit and their effing Faux News fucktwits writing "New York Times Best Sellers" equating Democrats to fucking terrorists.
Turning the other cheek has simply led to them controlling every fucking facet of political power.
I will worry about being nice and not hating them "after" they are permanently removed from power.
