Elementary school special education teacher in Northern Virginia. As a leftist I spend most of my day performing sex reassignment surgeries on 5th graders.
Unfortunately I don't think the Israelis actually hate their leaders. They seem to be generally supportive of them. In fact, the mass protests in Israel about the war against Gaza were not about the genocide, but about the strategy of how to prioritize getting the hostages back.

(part 4 and final)The lack of honesty in the special education system and the steps we take to preserve that lack of honesty prevents us from making changes to the system so it can be as good as it possibly can be.

(part 3) I don't mind if the school has a complete IEP proposal together before an IEP meeting... That makes perfect sense to me. But I don't like the "polite fiction" that we are an equal team with the school in developing the IEP.

(part 2) It's not that the school ignores parent input or proposals cannot change in the meeting, but steps we take to pretend that everyone is on the same side and the IEP is not largely predetermined are fucking stupid, disadvantage students/parents, and are exposed as a lie by partial consent.

Does this extend to celebrations like Easter, and Christmas? Some people certainly view their religion as an immutable part of themselves. This might be worth it if it gets government out of the religious business. No more celebrations, funding, or decisions based on religion! It'll be paradise!

About a dystopian time in America's "past" where homeless people were held in government run detention facilities for the comfort of those with money. The episode takes place the last few days of August, 2024. Link to the Wikipedia article on the episode: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Past_Te...

Example, Dems say they accept the science of climate change, but the vast majority only accept the science and solutions to the degree it furthers the status quo in favor of the interests of the business, political, and investor classes. We get no solutions that will actually help from them.

I mentioned that my wife lived in Ghana for about 5 months and we talked about how the people of Ghana were kind and welcoming to everybody. But I guess he is an American now and we are not that. He never connected his praise for Ghanaians being friendly and welcoming to his bigotry for immigrants.

I did ask him some questions and disagreed with him at certain points but he didn't seem to register my disagreements or just brushed them aside and kept ranting about how we wouldn't have a country anymore if the dems got elected.
