Whatever you do, don't make a mockery of this

Qasim Rashid, Esq. @QasimRashid Jan 25
GOP VA Governor just set up a tip line to report schools & teachers who teach about racism.

Email: helpeducation@governor.virginia.gov

Whatever you do, don't make a mockery of this with fake tips. That would be a terrible thing to do. RT so everyone knows NOT to send fake tips.

Is it racist to teach about white people ONLY?

Only the rum and molasses side of financing the slave trade?

Are the Tuskheegee airmen a racist topic?

Everyone knows that is heresy. And worse, the engineering department is teaching that the square root of minus one is a real thing you can use in a calculation. And there are some infinities that are more equal than others! God is equal to ALL infinities!

I have a BA, major in Latin, double moinor in math and classical Greeek. (And an MBA. And a bunch of Music Ed courses that never made it to a degree because I'm not a pianist and couldn't pass the "piano proficielcy." I think they're accepting guitar now, but they wouldn't then.)

Spanish in college. I had a dual associate in Humanities and Math/Science. Had enough social science classes for a Social Science AA, but didn't apply for it.

Love music, but have zero talent or ability in it. All of my sense of rhythm seems to be expressed in things like poetic meter and foot, and various language rhythm patterns. I took piano lessons very briefly when I was 13. Could not develop any proficiency in reading music and got discouraged by my brother's natural talent. He never had any musical lessons but could pick out a melody on the piano, add some chords and play like a professional. So why was I wasting time struggling through lessons?

Tue Jan 25, 2022, 07:37 PM
Jan 2022

helpeducation@governor.virginia.gov needs to know when the words, "Color, Brown, Black" or any other dark shade are used. Even worse, all those colors can combine and make dark colors. When they ask, what does it mean, it's obvious. It is what the viewer sees and clearly the use of colors on canvas is an attempt to marginalize white. Report your art teacher now!

It's not any of the teachers' fault that they've been handed this sack of chicken shit mess.

it's teachers' jobs to put their lives on the line so no one has to arrange child care, and this nonsense. People really should not be surprised when no one with a brain signs on to be a teacher in the years to come.

Or a nurse, for that matter.

MailBait: Fill Your Email Inbox With Junk Email For Testing Purposes

How would you like an email inbox full of newsletters and other junk mail that you never want to read? In most cases, this would be rather undesirable. However, if you need to test spam filters or a new mail server, making a temporary email address and filling it with junk mail could be exactly what you need. If you want to do this automatically, MailBait is the perfect solution.

MailBait runs quietly in the background and automatically signs your email address up for all kinds of newsletters and other junk mail that you would generally want to avoid. The longer you let it run, the more stuff it will sign you up for and the more strain it will be able to apply to your mail server and spam filters....

Find MailBait @ mailbait.info
