> 4+ months off per year

Bullshit. I'm so tired of this.

You get hair over 2 months of summer break. This time needs to be spent on continued education to keep your certs up to date.

And before you go "Oh but 2 weeks for Christmas, a week for easter, all those days off." Those are almost all spent on prep and catchup work.

Stop talking about things you don't know anything about.

> whereas most Americans get 15 days

This is bullshit too, the rest of the world figured out ages ago that 6 weeks of vacation increases overall productivity, start fighting for workers' rights.

Reply to Explosive found in checked luggage at Pennsylvania airport, man in custody by ChrisTheHurricane

Not related, but it reminded me of the story.

Years ago, a music teacher was celebrating the 4th of July with his family. His kid was helpful and packed all the leftover fireworks into his suitcase. You can imagine what happened when they got to the airport, the way I understand it, the teacher now needs a full search anytime they fly, which is often.

Raising taxes is one solution, an arguably better one is raising minimum wage to a living wage, the increased tax revenue would let them easily increase wages (I doubt they would, but still).

In reality though, teaching needs to be a universal. The quality of your education shouldn't be lower because the cost of living there is.

You are making a claim against an established event. This is happening, if you think it's not, prove it.

That's the thing. All good Nazis had no idea the Holocaust was happening. They denied it until it was too late, until it was over. We aren't there, of course not, but the anti trans, the anti semitic attitude of this country is terrifyingly similar to 1930's Germany, a few years before they slaughtered my people. We haven't forgotten. We are scared, and I'd we are, you might want to care.

Alabama SB184.

I don't think you know what genocide is... I'll CP it as defined.

In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:

Killing members of the group;

Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;

Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;

Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;

Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

Points 2, 3, and 5 are all happening.

Points 1 and 4 are inevitable with laws like SB184.
