On Wednesday Wear Red for Public Ed!
« on: January 25, 2017, 02:39:39 am »
I have received emails today from both administration and the NEA that to show solidarity against Betsy DeVos, we must all wear red on Wednesday. They are marketing this as a way to support public education, and it is to be observed nationally by administrators, teachers, parents, and students. I will obviously not take part in this national temper tantrum.

So if you're planning your outfit in advance consider avoiding the color red. Again, it's not just teachers that will be participating. It will include all of those on the official butthurt list, especially those who demonstrated "you know what" power last Saturday.

Have a blessed week.

Does the blood of my enemies count as wearing red?

If so I need change plans today.

This is why red is so important to our education system:

Fart for freedom, fart for liberty and fart proudly.  - Benjamin Franklin

...Obsta principiis—Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers and destroyers press upon them so fast that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon [the] American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour." - John Adams, February 6, 1775
