It doesn't matter if they are ever coming for you.

It was always ever already too much that they were coming for anyone.

I’m speaking with a young person and I ask her, β€œwhat are your favorite classes this year?” She starts naming teachers…I say oh I meant classes, not teachers. She looks at me and says β€œMr. Neil, the teacher is the class.”

Federal judge blocks Trump push to cut funding to public schools over diversity programs A federal judge has blocked the Trump administration’s guidance forbidding diversity, equity and inclusion efforts in K-12 public schools.
