Something most of us have missed but the whole “I don’t care if they have a husband or a wife they don’t need to talk about it” is dumb as hell and straight up bi/pan sexual erasure. Like being openly gay is fine but being openly attracted to more than your partners gender is over the line?

All I know is that as someone who came from an extremely socially conservative area/school, and knowing how many of my former classmates are now openly gay, I wish they had someone they could have opened up to in middle/high school. Instead there was one openly gay kid who got mercilessly bullied and there were so few people he could turn to, but luckily he lived with his grandmother who was very accepting of him. It didn’t need to be this way! And all the hand wringing about what lgbtq teachers can say to students is trying to get us back to that dynamic.

Just salt of the earth working class joes concerned about electoral integrity

In case you were wondering how the Republican messaging is going

Agreed 100%. My wife has a student who prefers one name that is female presenting and goes by that at school but is male presenting for their own parents. Having someone you can turn to is so important at that age. This isn’t something uncommon at all. they’re in middle school so they might have a decent idea of what they may be (ask a gay person when they found out when they were gay!), and it sounds like a few of the kids must have been gay or something. So they may be looking for a role model or someone to connect with! Just answering who they are in this context is fine and not inappropriate. And there’sa 100% chance that if they said straight we’d never have heard of this at all and wouldn’t have been fired and if you can’t see that you’re too full of shit to be taken seriously.

you love to see it

and also if you don't think that if she was married to a woman and said she was gay that there wouldn't also be an outcry in a county that voted for Trump by 59-40%, I've got a fucking bridge to sell you

kids love knowing things about their teachers, it helps create a connection and can give kids who may not have the love and support at home for who they are (and by middle school many, many kids know or have questions about such things) someone they may be able to turn to. horror of horrors. the implication is that when asked a direct question about sexuality, gay/bi/pan teachers should remain closeted unless they're the abstinence only sex educator.

homo fascist agenda at it again

I for one would not take the nypost at it’s word

There’s many states that don’t allow the shipment of alcohol period and Usps won’t ship it at all, and all it takes is an act of congress to say these pills are forbidden from being shipped via usps much the same as alcohol(or banned as a method of abortion period). So we’re in the clear until 2025, pending presidential election results. Plus you can never tell how this ideologically driven court will rule on attempts by red-run states to regulate such things.

Correlation

Speaking of which what will be the first state to threaten or try to pass a law for a search engine with accessory to murder for giving results on how or where to get an abortion?

You do realize why those homes are worth $2-4 million right? When these homes go on the market a developer should be able to purchase it and then build more homes in its place as there’s clearly a market for housing. reconfiguring commuter rail to more than just peak time commuter rail isn’t as difficult or expensive as you think (and I think GO is already doing some of this). building dense housing around these stations with minimal parking creates ridership in itself. Making available all areas within one mile around a GO station to a modest 10k/sqmi means tens of thousands of new homes available to be built, but the parking lots are the low hanging fruit. And this makes the transit system better because having car dependent transit limits its usefulness.

He was not fired. He was placed on leave for violating district policy and importantly did not seek to reapply for his job when his contract ended. It may seem like this doesn’t matter but it does. Teachers are told repeatedly that their jobs are not guaranteed between contracts and if you violate policy you probably won’t get offered a contract extension. This happens all the time. So if the policy is somehow in violation of the constitution what is the remedy? That he be given a contract extension for a job he didn’t try to reapply for?

With the right development many of those places can be walkable without much trouble. North York for example has a decent grid and is close to the subway but is still largely surrounded by single family homes. There’s also dozens of acres of surface parking around GO stations that I see that can and should be redeveloped for housing for people instead of cars.

And he shouldn’t even have standing since he moved out of state and no longer works for the school

Supreme Court Leans Toward Coach in Case on School Prayer - The New York Times WWW.NYTIMES.COM Members of the court’s conservative majority indicated that the coach, Joseph A. Kennedy, had a constitutional right to kneel and pray at the 50-yard line after games. It’s already on the docket! (And also nyt has such a shit summary)

My guy they do not care. This is in your head

Social security and Medicare/Medicaid. Acb (autocorrected to acab lol) all but said so in her confirmation hearing. These people want to roll back everything since the new deal*! It’s where the modern conservative movement started! *there evidence that if they could they’d pull back the civil war amendments, especially 14th, as they ignore the implication of the text of this one in particular

He’s right but what the duck
