As sad as it is that this phobia and ignorance exists, it’s equally disturbing that english teachers in the US don’t know the difference between “bring” and “take”.
Some of my teenager’s friends have parents like this, and they’re embarrassed by them, and have apologized to my daughter for their behavior. If this is the case here, I feel bad for the student.
These are the same people that will laud the banning and burning of books and cheer on those who want to mothball the Dept. Of Education. Absolutely sickening and shameful at just how unserious and uneducated a large swathe of Americans have become. 🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️
These people are on the same level as the ones who, in the 90s, vandalised a "paedo" 's house in Wales. How did they know it was a paedo's house? Because of the brass plaque next to the door. Which said "paediatrician".
my sun are doing a essay about TRANSPORT ... whare non-binnary illegal immigronts enter are country.

I worked in a public library children's dept for 16 years. One day, a woman got upset and wanted to speak to the director over a book we had on display.
The book was the classic Caldecott winner Stone Soup. The reason: it would encourage children to eat stones.
Can't make this stuff up!
Good grief!!!! Having lived in Concord a mile from Walden Pond this ...... I don't know ...... infuriates, disgusts, and demoralizes me about the future of this country.
TFW you get super mad about Thoreau because he was a transcendentalist and you know that being trans anything is EVIL, but then you also find out that he refused to pay taxes.
Wait until they find out about that Neil Young album.
Or that in preschool we often refer to our students on IEPs who will be old enough to start kindergarten next year as our "kindergarten transition students."
The ill-informed don't know what they don't know. Consequently, those of us with good educations need to start volunteering for school boards and community governing bodies.
This reminds me of a prank phone call broadcast by Los Angeles radio DJ Rick Dees in the 80s at the request of a high schooler whose mother couldn’t differentiate between “homosapien” and “homosexual”
Your response might have been hypothetical, but it’s simple. They want to “dumb it down.” Turn our Future Leaders of America into ignorant future followers, only because they won’t know any better.
I’m in Education and I’ve been watching this trend with alarm for a while. The more uneducated and dependent (poor, addicted, unhappy) the population, the easier it is to distract and control. They have a good reason to be scared of education.
This is why the Dems lost. They tried to be the bigger people and treated the electorate like functioning adults.
Maybe not shouting 'Inflation is the lowest in years.' To which the obvious response is "Then why is everything more expensive now than under Trump?" Trump is the only one who answered.
In ancient Rome there were two areas initially called Gaul. Gallia Narbonensis, also known as Transalpine Gaul (Gaul on the other side of the Alps) and Gallia Cisalpina or Cisalpine Gaul (Gaul on this side of the Alps).
Back in the early 00s in the UK there was a whole paedophile scare whipped up by the media and some politicians and paediatricians and their offices ended up being attacked by angry mobs so this is what inevitably happens during moral panics.
Being ill-informed is a choice, not a state. My maternal grandfather was an immigrant who worked as a steamfitter. I don't think he graduated from high school. He read Scientific American in his leisure time.
Someone should mess with that parent and tell them that their car has a transmission and their phone transmits data.
If they're Christian, tell them about Transubstantiation.
Reminiscent of the time a mob drove a British paediatrician out of her home because their addled hate-crazed brains ran out of steam before the third syllable of her job title.
That must be why they don’t call them transcendental functions anymore. I thought it was the four syllables that were offputting for modern math students.
Reminds me of Private Eye many years ago running a series of cartoons of things that can be confused with a paedophile. This was after a paediatrician was the target of abuse
I guess they will also avoid public Transport, Translators, Transformers, Transactions and the scariest one of all, Transduction. Someone get these people a dictionary.
As a trivial as sidenote, it was the random appearance of actual Easter eggs in the Rocky Horror Picture Show that coined that phrase regarding hidden surprises!
Facepalm is right. If people go by that, then they eventually won’t even allow their children to go to church. In the church, Catholic or otherwise, is where “transubstantiation” plays a big part, be it in baptisms, Communion, or any other part of the Holy sacrament.
Waiting for said parent's reaction to kids learning about "Transatlantic" trade (no more teaching of Columbian exchange?) or worse "Transatlantic" migration.. how "the trans" came to the Americas..

Good Lord these people are idiots. I'm from the area and I can tell you EVERY class in that area from every school goes to Walden Pond for a field trip. Everyone knows who Thoreau is and what he was. I'm wondering if these people are new to the area with their trigger happy "aaaah trans!!" reaction.
that's what personal insecurity and hatred leads to; it narrows one's perception so that in the end they can hardly see anything else but what they hate anymore

*Google "How to change my vote"*
"They want to force my kids to play Trans sports?!"
Heaven forbid they drive a vehicle with one of them filthy TRANSmissions!
Moronic to the Nth degree.
You don't wanna end up like this lady.
I ain't afraid of no...

Their goal is to make education unaffordable to the masses.
An ignorant workforce is easier to exploit and control.
"I ain't havin' no trans woke bs in MY body"
Then they refuse a transfusion.
Or that in preschool we often refer to our students on IEPs who will be old enough to start kindergarten next year as our "kindergarten transition students."
PRESCHOOL trans students?? OMG!!!!!!!!
Facepalm....
Oh god, I shouldn't joke. They will take it seriously.

So which restroom can a transcendentalist use?
I guess any of them. It wouldn’t matter. 😎
Shocking.
It’s the parents. You can ask Siri what the fuck the word means.
I would have told them exactly what they are and how stupid it makes them be.
All those light fixtures in drop ceilings have translucent covers
I guess they'll have to stop transferring their computer files.
And stop using Wi-Fi because it transmits signals
And no low power school radio stations. They’d learn about transmitters.
Geography? No — transcontinental.
Palmed, be thy front.
Maybe not shouting 'Inflation is the lowest in years.' To which the obvious response is "Then why is everything more expensive now than under Trump?" Trump is the only one who answered.
And now I would be shocked if it didn't happen.
See also paediatricians getting routinely attacked.
Words are hard.
transportation
The MAGA freaks haven’t threatened to abolish the Department of Transportation, have they?
Have they heard about all the business transactions going on every day, in EVERY state?
Cue the Kingston Trio and “M.T.A.”
If they're Christian, tell them about Transubstantiation.
