This is an excellent message for right now. Trump and his MAGA crew uses this tactic a lot when they say they didn’t do what we saw them do or tell us they didn’t say what we heard them say and have recorded.
Stanley Milgram's studies in Obedience to Authority are also instructive in revealing how fascist rule works. It's the direction we seem to be taking. The obedience of Bill Cassidy (R-LA), a physician, voting for vaccine-denier Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is an example.
Something I learned in Israel: Never be a victim, never be an abuser…. But never, never be a bystander... We need to stop and condemn this kind of behavior... The main risk might be to underestimate its destructive power. Never again!
🤔Re-traumatizing a kid who is being abused at home is not an acceptable possibility just for a teacher to make a point. (I am a 35-yr. retired career teacher and survivor of abuse.)
Exactly!!! As a retired teacher, and childhood abuse survivor, I saw too many traumatized students to use this sort of technique just to make such a point.

Or better, the teacher set it up with him ahead of time so she didn't traumatize the kid.
