Interesting that you bring this up, because last week for the first time ever in my 4th grade art room, a student mentioned that someone was a furry. Nothing came of the comment, but it's proof that you are spot on, as usual. Teaching 700 fourth graders each week for 23 years, I am privy to all sorts of half-baked, woefully misunderstood comments about what their older siblings are currently talking about. Just a whiff of something racy or inappropriate, and 4th graders perk up like meerkats -- even though they usually don't fully understand it. This week several classes think it's hilariously clever to shout out "chicken droppings!" as if I don't know what they really mean.
The fact that this is actually about our inability to face the the myriad ways living under the unrelenting plague of gun violence in this country damages our children and instead of seeing that (because of course that is the explanation, it's a practical idea for an insane situation) and dealing with THAT, these fuckwits want to put on their "concerned parent" costumes and act like they give a shit about kids' wellbeing. But they don't.
How much more CRAZY are republicans going to tolerate!
Trump is gutting the government
Killing the economy
Putting his hat in the ring to become Pope
Totally ignorant of the fact that the Declaration of Independence actually is a declaration of independence, not a declaration of “love and unity” (not that he knows what either of those word means)!
Please no. Please tell me the litter box story isn't coming back! While actual students in some states may have no safe restroom to use at all.
