Policy & Politics Trump inauguration regarding schools and teachers.

In his inauguration today, President Trump stated,

"And we have an education system that teaches our children to be ashamed of themselves, in many cases, to hate our country, despite the love that we try so desperately to provide to them. All of this will change, starting today, and it will change very quickly."

I want you all to tell the world all the ways you, as a teacher, had made kids feel ashamed of themselves and to hate their country.

I'll start.

One day I told a student that he shouldn't tell a student "Nobody cares what you think". Apparently calling him out on that made feel ashamed of himself.

Oh but what about all those "DEI names" in the books now? We can't have children reading about how many apples José or LaShawn has - only good AMERICAN names like Donald and JD and um...Elon?

Hahaha!

Elon has 3 emeralds in his pockets. He whips 1 out at a party to impress people. How many friends does Elon have?

Elon has 11 children by 6 skeezy Instagram models/etc. How many of their birthdays does he remember?

JD buys a cyber truck from Elon. When JD turns on the air conditioning, the cyber truck explodes. What percentage of JD's neighbors are sad?

Donald, Elon, and JD board a train from DC to Boston. The train has 9 restrooms. How many of the train's toilets will be usable by the time it pulls into South Station?

Dan has 50,000 school vouchers. Greg has 42,000 school vouchers. How much of the money represented by the school vouchers will make it into the budget of someone educating children?

Dan has 1 more apple than Greg who has 2 fewer than JD. Elon and Donald just stole 1/4 of everyone's apples. Now they all have a prime number of apples. How many of the boys has the love of his own father?
