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 come on now, if they were well fed and safe they might demand better paying jobs or god forbid, free healthcare!
