They don't mention her by name, but allude to her when talking about phonics and should probably have made more mention of her. Lucy Calkins has single handedly destroyed American literacy.
It's no shock that states that have abandoned her program and went back to phonics based learning have seen huge rebounds.
That woman should be in jail.
Thanks. It's always a good reminder that 80% of the people on here are children.
It's not, but congrats on finding a way to dismiss what I said without having to engage with it or do any self reflection at all.
If Harris has won and took the exact same actions as Trump as it relates to Israel, which doesn't seem too unlikely given the way all of Washington on both sides kowtows to Israel, would you be taking the same stance that "she didn't do anything to help bring this about?"
Look, I hate Trump as much as the next guy, but I find it unlikely people would be coming out of the woodwork to slam Harris, even if she did the exact same things.
Just because someone is a villain, it doesn't mean that literally every single thing they do is villainous. I'm not gonna stop drinking Coke, just because Donald Trump drinks Coke. And I can recognize the the US was positively involved in this ceasefire negotiation, even if I hate the guy heading the US.
Trump can still be evil, even if he's right sometimes, and even if he does the right thing sometimes. He's not a comic book character. He's a very real, human kind of evil. And just because he's not stomping on puppies every day doesn't mean he's not bad.
And if you're not willing to admit when he does a good thing, your hatred isn't founded in reality, it's founded on purest tribalism.
I very much don't think this is from an actual children's book. It's pretty clearly satire.
I mean, I think it's pretty tightly bounded by when airports shut down. If all planes are grounded for any length of time, that's an economic collapse kinda no matter what you do.
Plus with the holidays coming up? No, I think they are gonna panic when the air traffic controllers start walking out en masse cause they're not getting paid.
Agreed. There's clearly a 90+% chance there will be back pay.
I get that the Trump administration is loathsome, but it's really disheartening the number of people on here who will throw all logic and reason out the window if it means they can doom-jerk over how evil the administration is.
Once the back pay inevitably happens, everyone who said otherwise on here will just ignore they were wrong, and move on to the next thing that's obviously false.
To be clear, I'm not defending the Trump administration. It's been a dumpster fire, and they obviously aren't above completely violating the law to get their way.
But denying back pay doesn't make sense on its face. It's a nonsense position. And the fact that people can't see that just feels like backwards QAnon to me.
Encouraging to see that the Palestinian people rejecting Hamas.
While certainly not the villain in this whole conflict, Hamas is definitely a villain.
Both these groups are Palestinian.
Did Sun Tzu say that? Not to be a dick, but I'm pretty sure you don't have a source for that beyond, "because I want to kill right wing propagandists."
In which major conflict was killing propagandists a high priority and doing so led to good outcomes?
Did I say anywhere in that that I liked Charlie Kirk? No.
But I don't hate dogs just because Hitler liked them. Just because someone was bad doesn't mean they are 100% wrong on every single thing and you must always disagree with them on every single issue.
In fact, you can even come to the same end solution using completely different reasoning. It doesn't mean the final conclusion is wrong, even if the other person had evil motivations for how they got there.
Man, it's almost like allowing the criminalization speech or association is a bad idea, and puts tools directly into the hands of fascists.
If only somebody had foreseen this when the UK started jailing people for state disapproved speech years ago.
