They're under paid and it causes the best teachers to seek employment elsewhere. Our country undervalues education, at least part of this country, and it shows.
And Christ, I couldn't imagine trying to be a teacher in Florida

My God you're vindictive and a complete idiot, a toxic combination.
I grew up on a small "part time farm", worked on farms, and had relatives that were big time farmers.
The feelings and attitudes toward animals are completely different that those living in prim and proper suburbia.
They have to be.
Animals are their livelihood, when it becomes time to kill, you kill. You become immune to feelings and emotions. There is no room for compassion and sympathy like I have for you being an idiot. You idiot.
I left that life after high school and never went back. I've lived in prim and proper suburbia nearly all life and my attitude towards animals changed drastically the older I got.. Now it would be impossible for me not to have some pity on a chicken about to get it's head chopped off. It would be worse now to watch my dad kill a baby calf for its veal by knocking it out with a hammer then slitting its throat to bleed out.
I don't like it, but I understand it. Unlike clueless liberals such as yourself.
I love dogs. On the farm dogs lived outside. In the cold. Sometimes chained to a doghouse. Thought nothing of it. Today I couldn't imagine doing that to a dog.
None of those examples include killing a young dog due to your inability to train it, fyi.
And, given everything you said, and admitting your views on animals now, that is going to be the case for many, many other voters. So my point still stands.

Ah yes when Jesus got pissed at those traders doing business in a holy place. That was like 6th grade catechism stuff.
No shit the Jews called for Christ to be crucified.. That aint the point.
Woody asked me if it would be considered antisemitism it the church mentioned Jews killing Christ.
Antisemitism as you know is hatred of Jews. The church doesn't make it a point that it was the Jews that killed Jesus.
"The Jews killed Christ" is not the message that this parable is trying to get across. Another indicator is that the word "Jew" is not used.
I may be wrong but it seems that the word Jew is never mentioned when it is associated with something negative, as in the crucifixion.
When the word Jew arises it's always associated with something positive or neutral, never in a negative light...as in the admission that the Jews were the chosen ones, the first ones to come to know the one true God.
Now that there is what I've heard mentioned many times in church.
Is it not a historical fact though that Jewish people called for Christ to be killed and then killed him? The priest doesn't need to be all "Jews are evil cuz they killed Jeeeesus!". I'm just talking about staying fact. That's now antisemitism?

again, you can't fight a war and not have civilian/refugee casualites when hamas hides in hospitals, schools, and refugee campes.
Your posts reflect acute ignorance. Learn some freaking history.
Israel Admits Striking Refugee Camp—Says It Targeted And Killed Hamas Commander
They are literal refugees. Any number of civilian deaths is ok as long as the IDF says it killed someone in Hamas?
We get it, you're with the right wing Israeli government in thinking that Palestinians are sub human, but you don't have to be so obvious about it.
Cal, if a school shooter barricades themselves in a school with student hostages, do you bomb the school, kill everyone, and claim victory because you got the school shooter?

That I would have to somewhat agree, he was killed by the Jews except that the only reason it's ever brought up is to spew anti-jew rhetoric.
Would it be antisemitism for a church to mention that in mass? Or in private Christian school?

For reference HR 6090 will be using the IHRA contemporary definition of antisemitism that includes talking about Jewish involvement in the death of Christ.
- Calling for, aiding, or justifying the killing or harming of Jews in the name of a radical ideology or an extremist view of religion.
- Making mendacious, dehumanizing, demonizing, or stereotypical allegations about Jews as such or the power of Jews as collective — such as, especially but not exclusively, the myth about a world Jewish conspiracy or of Jews controlling the media, economy, government or other societal institutions.
- Accusing Jews as a people of being responsible for real or imagined wrongdoing committed by a single Jewish person or group, or even for acts committed by non-Jews.
- Denying the fact, scope, mechanisms (e.g. gas chambers) or intentionality of the genocide of the Jewish people at the hands of National Socialist Germany and its supporters and accomplices during World War II (the Holocaust).
- Accusing the Jews as a people, or Israel as a state, of inventing or exaggerating the Holocaust.
- Accusing Jewish citizens of being more loyal to Israel, or to the alleged priorities of Jews worldwide, than to the interests of their own nations.
- Denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination, e.g., by claiming that the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavor.
- Applying double standards by requiring of it a behavior not expected or demanded of any other democratic nation.
- Using the symbols and images associated with classic antisemitism (e.g., claims of Jews killing Jesus or blood libel) to characterize Israel or Israelis.
- Drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis.
- Holding Jews collectively responsible for actions of the state of Israel.
Jesus (not killed by Jews) Christ.
That's incredibly excessive. Imagine if this was applied to all groups legally.

Also, gotta love the irony of a group of people claiming that the race card is used too much as an attempt to discredit criticism... Who then turns around and uses the antisemitism card to discredit any criticism of Israel / their side...

People love animals. She can try to "real America" "life on a ranch" "rugged individualism" "my kids!" all she wants, but she'd definitely bring this baggage to a ticket with Trump.

I'll try to spell this out for you all, because you don't seem to follow.
The conservative politician isn't being ridiculed for having an affair. They're ridiculed for the hypocrisy of an affair when they preach family values, etc
The conservative politician isn't ridiculed for being secretly gay. They're ridiculed for the hypocrisy of being secretly gay when they fight LGBTQ rights and push for "real marriage".
The conservative politician isn't being ridiculed for not actually being Christian. They're ridiculed for the hypocrisy of not being Christian when they take photo ops with a Bible and pretend to care at all about Christianity to get votes.
It's the hypocrisy that's being ridiculed, not the act (in most cases).
Understand?

It's right up there with them thinking Cheetos has integrity. The guy who has cheated on all three of his wives. The guy who cheated on his pregnant wife and had a 10-month affair with McDougal and also cheat on his wife and McDougal with a porn star (5 months). That sure sounds like the opposite of integrity.
Trump is a good Christian though! Don't slander him like that!

yes it is, because it is a deliberate lie. Again, go read up on what "genocide" is.
That is NOT what is going on in Gaza,. girliebird.
Try to stop with the stupid slurs and explain why you feel it's genocide.
Go ahead.
Though I'm assuming you'll claim Amnesty International or the UN is liberal elitists against Israel or something
Or be like Israel and just say they're antisemitic

LOL then you agree with Noem, because that's exactly what she said in the video.
I get exactly what you're saying, the word is called hypocrisy. It would be good if you could give me some examples of Republican politicians known to have engaged in gay sex and threesomes, and on the next day preach about those Christian values in order to gain votes.
Although a rumor, the evidence suggests Noem had an extramarital affair with a Trump aide, while at the same time claim to possess Christian values.
Just think of it as liberals would. She made a "mistake", or a "bad choice." You can still make mistakes and poor choices cant you?
Of course, anyone can make mistakes or a bad choice. I'm not, and I imagine a lot of folks, aren't criticizing her for her bad choice. I'm criticizing her for her (presumed) hypocrisy. I admittedly do not know a lot about her but given her MAGA/real America persona I have some guesses on her beliefs and the implied hypocrisy.
A few examples:
Or this
Or this
Or
Boebert groping and getting grouped in a movie theater
Or this
There are dozens man. Nothing that in itself is a big deal among consenting adults (ignoring assault allegations). But when your whole thing is real America Christian family values you deserve ridicule

The trouble is, how can anyone tell the difference between simple criticism and antisemitism?
The slurs about "genocide" towards Israel is antisemitism, since it is completely bogus, since the same people don't use it for hamas's war crimes in the surprise, unwarranted invasion on Oct. 7th
Jesus Christ you're a fucking moron cal. You truly are. The same thing could be explained to you multiple times, slowly, sounding out the words, but if it doesn't fit your world view you won't comprehend.
It is very easy to tell the difference between criticism and antisemitism. You're so blindly wrapped up on defending Israel you just can't tell the difference.
Calling what the Israeli government is doing in Gaza genocide isn't antisemitism towards Jews. How are you this stupid?

Ridicule all you like, it's so trivial and worthless so much that it bores me.
But what is also deserving of ridicule is calling out and accusing conservatives of doing exactly what your side does (or did).
Which was kinda like what I did there Woody.
Care to read about how religion shaped Kamala Harris' life?
How Vice President Kamala Harris’ Religion Has Impacted Her Life Over The Years - Yahoo Sports
You're missing the point here.
I don't care if s politician has a secret gay lover or is involved in threesomes or whatever
But if that politician is preaching an anti gay message, or "real marriage", or Christian family values, or whatever conservative pandering gets them votes then their personal actions are grounds for ridicule.
How are you not getting this?
And I don't give a shit about Kamala. She sucks. If the point is she's pandering about religion, or is religious, or whatever I don't really care.

More legal resources for victims is great, but again, what's the measurable outcome? Sexual assault incidence has decreased? Something like that.
Except that data is skewed if sexual assault was never reported because of power structures, etc at the time that made the victim feel it was a lost cause.
Like I said in my posts, laws going into affect to improve workplace protections and weaken the power of NDAs to silence victims is a good thing.

OMG...someone has been listening to the cries of these idiot protestors.
Israelis committing genocide. Sure, because there exist only assumptions and speculation, so why not go for it.
Reasonable grounds is the best that they could come up with...
“There are reasonable grounds to believe that the threshold indicating the commission of the crime of genocide…has been met.
Assumptions and speculation that arises out of finding excuses for the behavior of these animals.
Oh those poor brown people, those white looking Jews surely must have done something to them in order for them to behave this way.
And you call them animals. So does Israel's far right government.
Y'all had sides picked before anything ever happened.
Israel will run this excuse into the ground or until they level all of Gaza, regardless of casualties.
It is a genocide.
Teacher Salaries--Discuss

"You taught about slavery?" "You mentioned gay people exist!?"
Right, we get it dude. If the school isn't teaching what you want it is indoctrination.
Teachers literally shape our future. We're all better off with an educated society.
Being dismissive of pay by saying "well it should be your passion" is dumb. Most folks don't work where they're passionate. Some folks are better at the things they're not passionate about.
We should value teachers higher and that should be reflected in their pay.
