Sparky, I hear you. I really do. On almost any other free speech issue, I'd agree. But I have to draw a line with K-12 kids being taught a version of the "truth" that is potentially harmful to them without allowing for or teaching dissenting viewpoints.
Again, all I said was that a teacher shouldn't be fired solely for expressing or holding a belief. And I even believe this to be true at a K-12 level. When the element of excluding all other beliefs/expressions from the classroom is added, or not teaching the curriculum, or abusing students -- then it's a different discussion.
Ah, gotcha! I misunderstood. Yes, I agree a teacher should not be fired solely for expressing a belief, and I do think it happens more frequently than it should.

SO. SAD.
I was just typing an address onto a purchase order. The company's street is "Chandler".
I typed "Chanandler".
I typed "Chanandler".
Another victim of TV brain-washing.
I AM SO FUCKING PISSED.
No one has even entered my apartment.
I think I'm going to have to request someone accompany me back to my apartment tomorrow morning so I can FUCKING SUPERVISE THEM.
You know, they may have a valid reason. But you FUCKING DON'T TELL ME "TODAY" TWO DAYS IN A ROW and then don't deliver. Don't lie to me. That's the one thing I will not accept. Especially after knowing there was a problem for more than a week.
They are going to learn. And I'm calling corporate.
In the meantime, I'm wasting their water by filling the tub and blowing air across it. Fuck them.
Good for you, sara. I can't believe...well, no, I can believe. I am so angry on your behalf.
