1. It was not an accident. 2. It was not a staffer. 3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia. 4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares. 5. His base agrees with him. 6. He will do it again. 7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com Federal immigration agents detained a 5-year-old prekindergartner named Liam Ramos this month. His classmates miss him, so they decided to write letters to the agents who took him. “Dear ICE,” one student wrote, “You are scaring schools, people and the world.”

Everytime a teacher writer expresses doubt about whether their work is new/good/special enough, I want to say look at the absolute idiots taking up space saying this nonsense with their whole chests. Good lord, we need more actual teachers weighing in on what teachers/education/schools/children need
