Speaking for teachers of conscience, amen.

Oy. Why do people, organizations, etc. continue to cave whenever the Left throws a tantrum? We don't need to be concerned with remaing in the MSM's "good graces," we've got the New Media. So here's an idea-stick to your guns, then post all of your info/evidence for the world to explore. Seems like it wouldn't take long for Lefties to be exposed for what they are, _______________ (fill in the blank.)

Guan, if Ellen ever tries to put you in a "camp," makes you swear allegiance to her, or sends her armed goons to your door, okay-get ornery.

Until she tries to force me to believe like she does, she can think whatever she wants. Individual liberty, and all that.

I like Ellen. She doesn't shy away from what she believes, but she seems like she understands that there are differing opinions. And that's really all I ask from Hollywood. Good on her.

The bishop wouldn't know unless he knows how much you're making annually. That's not info that we divulge or that the church asks for, so it really is a matter of personal accountability. We're kind of big on that.
Temple attendance isn't church attendance, Nick. No one keeps track of how often you go to the temple but you and the Lord, so no one's going to call you out for it. Church services are open to anyone, tithe-payer or not, member or not, all are welcome.

Ezra is becoming one of my favorites at the Bigs. He's building a pretty impressive streak of nailing it.

Not true-there are MANY of us who are fed up with unions exactly because they are no longer fighting for our students. The UFT and organizations like them are corrupt, and a disgrace to the profession.

And believe it or not, plenty of us understood when we we decided to become teachers that we wouldn't be making a lot of money, and we're okay with that. We don't need or want unions to negotiate our salaries-we just hope for a little support for what we do.

Even though I have enjoyed many of these actors' performances at one time or another, I ultimately agree. But DiCaprio in "Gilbert Grape" was incredibly good-true acting. If you haven't seen it, you're missing out.

Notorious. Liars. Okay, here's what you do-reread the article, and look at the links in blue. They point to sites that back up claims made by the author. Now go to any of the Bigs, and pick pretty much any article. They do the same thing. Weird.

Where's your blue link?

Spoon-feeding propaganda? You've got to be kidding me . . .

Shout out to all teachers: we need to speak out against this kind of garbage. They are ruining our profession, and it needs to come to an end. (LEAVING CLASS to protest? Who does that?) How long are we going to survive if the public perceives all of us this way? They're loud; we need to be louder. Speak up. Let people know you actually put your students first.

We provide the tools for kids to think for themselves.
