He murdered three people. So yeah, teaching just wasn’t going to work out…

Used corporal punishment. We were first graders and she made those of us who didn’t have their homework kneel on salt/seeds/buckwheat. One of the kids in my class was literally the most obedient kid and she was top of the class and always had her homework—that day she must’ve forgotten it at home. She made her kneel and the girl cried so quietly and without a sound and peed in her uniform. She transferred and never came back after that day. Yeah, it was a private school. Parents heard about it and threatened to sue.

My middle school choir teacher was a closeted gay man. He had a long-term boyfriend but none of us knew about it, until one day a parent saw them at a HOUSE PARTY making out. They spread rumors throughout the school and multiple parents immediately removed their children from his class. The parents complained to the school and got him fired. The good news is, he eventually quit teaching and opened up a bakery with his partner, which did very well and got featured on Cupcake Wars.

Hey Pandas, Aita For Going To Homecoming With My Friend's Ex?

Thank you for the advice. I'm not always the best at picking up on social cues so it's very helpful. I'll be sure to apologize to my friend when I see them again.

Supreme Court States That Abortion Is Not Rooted In The American Nation's History, This Software Engineer Proves The Statement Is Not True

I think he quoted or referred to someone from the 13th century as well. It's just bananas. On the other hand, the signs that this was the republicans end game has been there for a decades.

Indeed. The list of contradictions in everything they're arguing is just endless. History and tradition in this context are just code words for white and religion imho. As the list of their latest rulings show they're just inventing legal arguments at this point. The upcoming case on the validity of the insane Independent state legislature theory should tell you everything you need to know about where this is heading. The conservative majority on the SCOTUS of today is a bunch of rogue corrupt theocratic extremists.

Kind of off topic, but Clarence Thomas's wife is white and he's actively fighting against a provision that could, in effect, outlaw interracial marriage. F*****g irony if you ask me. Don't even get me started on the nerve of his wife calling Anita Hill and asking her to make an apology for her own husband sexually harassing her. That was the craziest thing I heard last week.

So I assume that the judges of the Supreme Court would turn down cancer treatment, heart bypasses, kidney transplants etc for themselves and their families because these procedures are not rooted in the American nation's history?

It’s very much a “well this is my opinion so it must be correct!” kind of thing :/ they can’t even back it up with science but still think it has just as much value as expert opinions and scientific findings.

The most ironic thing in all this SCOTUS turn back time theocratic madness is that probably none of the current judges would be allowed to serve on the court at all due to their ethnicity and/or gender back when the Constitution was written. So called originalism and textualism is just utter BS in all its forms imo. I bet they know it too. It says "For the People". Just saying.

Abort the court

Supreme Court States That Abortion Is Not Rooted In The American Nation's History, This Software Engineer Proves The Statement Is Not True

The irony of saying American history doesn't show any proof that abortion is a protected right is that life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness is an INALIENABLE right as noted by the Constitution of the United States of America, but those rights will always be subverted by the right be bear arms ... pro-life, Christian nation, indeed ...

Supreme Court States That Abortion Is Not Rooted In The American Nation's History, This Software Engineer Proves The Statement Is Not True

Even when someone doesn't agree with me I feel like I can look at their point of view. I get downvotes here for saying 'to play devil's advocate'... but this is just one time I can't do that. I was talking to someone yesterday about how she is all for stand your ground laws and she owns multiple guns yet is staunchly pro-life. So I said, 'why is killing someone who comes on to your property okay but not abortion?' and she said, "because the person on my property is possibly threatening my life." So I was like, "but you don't believe in abortion in the case of the mother's life being at stake?" and her response was because then it 'God's will'. But who are you to decide God's will? Why isn't your life ending when someone robs you God's will, too. And imagine the hubris! The argument can never stay in a logical place. It always devolves to religion that shouldn't be forced upon me the same way my religious beliefs shouldn't be forced on you. Which is why any religious argument should be kept off our laws.

Anyone with any grasp of Western history knows that until relatively recently (mid to late 1800s) white men with status regarded abortion (and birth control) in the same way they regarded menstrual protection. As something icky and completely irrelevant to anything actually important. Dowdy and insignificant women's matters.

It's almost like those who want to overturn rights are uninterested in facts and would quote as truth something they don't bother to check first - I notice this is a common thing..

History, Social Issues

Supreme Court States That Abortion Is Not Rooted In The American Nation's History, This Software Engineer Proves The Statement Is Not True

Or empathy for others.

It doesn't matter. For all their posturing and debates about it politically and legally, it will never be about that for people who view it as a moral issue. It's about their fetishizing of babies. They believe life begins at conception and that's perfectly fine. As a pro-choice person, I actually do, too. But I believe much like animals and people who are suffering, sometimes that life should end. I also believe in the death penalty in some cases. A fetus feels no pain and the mother should not have to die or be forced to carry for any reason. Stop creating this fantasy in your mind of what a horror an abortion is because it's not. Those pictures they hold up are usually of back-alley abortions, which is what happens when they aren't done safely with a doctor. And I flat out refuse to listen to a single law, addendum or amendment regarding abortion if it STILL does not address the man in the equation who never has a single repercussion placed upon him for his part of the situation. Abortion is a medical procedure that should be no one's business but a person and their doctor.

Unfortunately anti-choisers are not motivated by facts.

People Online Are Discussing Disability History After A Tumblr User Shares 6 Events That Are Not Talked About Enough From It

That’s great! Learning more benefits youself and your whole community, as disability rights are central to all human rights. There are many disability advocates and educators you might be interested in looking up. Judy Heumann or Imani Barbarin (both Americans) are the first two I thought of, but there are many others. The most important part is to make sure that you’re learning about disability history and current activism from disabled people or disabled-led groups. As much as people mean well, those who are non-disabled (including those who work with disabled people or have disabled family members) can often get things wrong. The disabled community is vocal and all of the info you need can be found from them directly.

Both my partner and I are disabled we live in the same building but we can't live together because if we wanted to do that I would lose my benefits and have to go on to his which means he would be financially responsible for me and after a history of financial abuse there is no way I will ever let somebody else have a control of my livelihood. Not to mention we will be more than £400 out of pocket a month. We also would not qualify for adapted 2-bedroom, 2 bathroom accommodation (both of us have IBS and and we need two toilets!)
