This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942.

I know. I was there in those camps.

A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.

Most of my MLLearners pronounce hamburger like Gru would: hamborger.

So, of course, if we say hamburger in this house it must now be pronounced like Gru as well.

The truth is that male religious leaders have had - and still have  - an option to interpret holy teachings either to exalt or subjugate women. They have, for their own selfish ends, overwhelmingly chosen the latter.  - Jimmy Carter

Wow, I never knew he said this.

Jimmy Carter was ahead of his timeโ€”a man of unmatched kindness and integrity. Truly, he was too good for us.

There is a cafe across the street from one of the schools I work at. I cannot go there to order a coffee, because, guaranteed, I will walk out with their garlic bread grilled cheese and chunky tomato soup for lunch.

Living in a border city (Wa State), I have an acquaintance who has had kids taken from her school (during previous administration). They have no problem overstepping rules they know they wonโ€™t be punished for. My heart is aching for my refugee kiddos. Who knows what is in store for them, too.

In this household there is no celebrating of a manโ€™s death, but you will find indifference and probably some tactless memes. The $50,000 bounty because the deceased was a CEO shows that the system is meant to work only for the โ€œbig guysโ€ and silence the weak and vulnerable. #EduSky

I am the sole provider for my family. My husband, who is estranged from us, does not provide a cent. If I, with a career that requires higher education, can barely afford to care for my family, when do we admit that we are failing our future generations with a system essentially meant to oppress.

With a balanced calendar being implemented next year, I will no longer have my summer income. A balanced calendar is much better for student achievement but not better on their adults (childcare) and those of us who NEED to hold a summer job in order to just scrape by... #EduSky

Can we also talk about the multiple jobs teachers hold in order to โ€œaffordโ€ paying for healthcare? I have two jobs, I need to find another one, just to afford my house payment, groceries, and gas to travel to work. Health insurance and other deductions take away 1/3 of my paychecks.
