    I was sent to school in a red state (Indiana) and still ended up like the top picture, who’s laughing now?

      You can’t judge the school by the state. You also got to look at the city and ranking. I went to school in a red state but in a liberal suburb.

    I was a trans teacher (stealth, students and teachers didn’t know), and I did have a few students tell me that they were trans.

    I asked them if they wanted me to call them by a different name or use different pronouns, and told them I would support them if were mistreated by other staff or administration and wanted my help. Truly evil indoctrination.

    Like, what matters to me is that that homework has a name I recognize and give a grade for. Teachers are way too fucking busy to be indoctrinating your kids, especially the ones in hell hole red states (feeder middle school had 100+ kids in some classrooms - I remember being at a PD when someone asked how to adopt the activity for a stranding room only classsroom….)

      I wonder how often people around me are Trans and scared of being ousted by society on the slightest hint of confession. In India btw, here any difference is grounds for abuse.

    Does instagram really let the hateposts like the top one fly?

    Can we find the person who posted it and beat the shit out of them? I know, I know, I’m just doing internet tough guy right now, but I really am sick of all these hateful assholes making the world worse. They post who they are under their real name! Burn their house down!

    Then have it followed up by ‘them’ also destroying the monument after the fact

    For starters… /s…holy crap y’all are weird.

    Second, I’m referencing people in red states that typically destroy the roadside vigils, or memorials for people who were murdered.

    Y’all are weird as fuck…downvote away though. Act before understanding what you’re doing. Looks good on ya

      Oh? What monument have “they” destroyed, exactly?

      Was it the Ten Commandments one in front of a certain state capitol?

      Or, perhaps you’re alluding to any number of dead white rapists w/ stars & stripes on their costumes that stood, uncorrected, for too long to be excusable?

      Are “they” with you right now? Whispering soft, tempting secrets like thigh-warmed honey into your totally-resistant ear holes, eh sweetcakes?

      Maybe, try one fewer Macs a day and take care of you, instead. Not only can you be happier, but everyone around you’ll benefit from a better you, too.

      Just a thought, neighbor.

        What are you talking about?

        I literally have no clue what you are going on about…I was talking about the vigils/roadside memorials that maga weirdos tend to destroy that are on the sides of the road. No clue why the downvotes, or whatever the heck that other person was rambling about. I assume they are confused.

          Is it true that in the states right wingers will destroy the vigils of children killed in school shootings? Like is this a thing that happens a lot?

            No. I’ve literally never heard of such a thing and nobody would do that. No idea what op is going on about.

            I can’t verify. I was in a deep red state for a while, and I know I drove past about 15 various roadside memorials that were there for 10+ years in some cases.

              Yeah. I mean not to stick up for right wing butt bags but I just can’t see that being a common thing there. The states does have a habit of disappointing me though.

          No clue .I assume they didn’t understand what I said/meant and are assuming that I’m all for hurting people or whatever…literally the opposite

        What are you talking about. Roadside memorials for people who were murdered have 100% been destroyed by maga people…

        Try to understand something, before you act on it…please. This is my issue with ALL of humanity and one of the major reasons why I don’t socalize with anybody anymore. Good riddance

        A different way of putting it…the ones who insult the kid in the top photo, would also be the same ones who would destroy app the flowers for the slain kids in the bottom photo.

          I read the “them” statement as you pinning it as the top photo kids being the ones destroying the memorial. Plain and simple, I thought you were a maga asshole. There was no way of understanding what you were really saying with your vague statement. My bad.

            For sure NOT supportive of their ideology. Everyone deserves a good life. I understand my comments may not come across clear and it’s something I need to work on.

          The issue is that nobody has ever heard of anyone destroying roadside memorials. There is no comparison because it isn’t a thing.

            I’ve literally seen videos of people kicking candles over, smashing photos and ripping flowers before fleeing in their pickup truck, but ok.
