Truly a horrible yet amazing highlight of how no matter you try to make tradition look pretty or modern it's still the same traditions that barred women from going to school or even voting. This notion of being a "stay-at-home" mom, dad, or partner is one rooted in the bourgeois as only the upper and middle class have this luxury, working class people must work regardless of their child's needs just to put food on the table and pay rent. This has happened before in the 60s, we can't and shouldn't accept this no matter what.

The GED Gap — Why Basic Education Still Isn’t Basic (Especially if You're a Woman in a Cage)

The GED Gap — Why Basic Education Still Isn’t Basic (Especially if You're a Woman in a Cage)

READ OR LISTEN TO THIS POST~ CLICK HERE FOR AUDIO It was her third time in county jail when Tamika finally asked about the GED class. She wa

Basic education in prison should not be treated like a carrot on a stick. It’s a right, not a reward for “good behavior.” We need trauma-informed teaching, learning accommodations, and a serious overhaul of how we design these programs. Otherwise, we’re just locking women in a cycle of exclusion.

And let’s not forget what happens after release. A GED without a plan is like handing someone a key to a house that doesn’t exist. We need bridges to college, trade school, and job pathways. Real support. Real investment. Not just “Congrats on the GED, don’t come back now!”

Let’s Get Real

Education is not optional. It’s survival. It’s safety. It’s power. For our community—women and femmes who’ve survived violence, incarceration, and state neglect—it’s one of the few tools that can actually rewrite a life.

But that tool doesn’t work if it’s locked in a broken system.

Strong reminder:

Boundaries are there to be respected, not get angry, upset, offended or 'hurt' over.

Regardless who asks, whether they're a complete stranger or your own flesh and blood, if someone doesn't want you to:

- invade their personal space

- touch them

- ask personal questions

- talk about certain subjects

- send them certain images / gifs

- kiss them

- hug them

You respect that.

No questioned asked. Respect that.

The Professor Sez

“Greetings, funky party people. Here are some things every sapient being should know:”

The Earth is round. It only appears flat to us because we’re so small that we can’t see the curvature. The ancient Greeks knew that the planet is spherical. If you’re no smarter than people who lived 3000 years ago, then you need to turn in your badge and officially resign from the human race.

COVID-19 is real.

Climate change is real.

QAnon is bullshit.

Vaccines don’t cause autism.

And Elvis is dead.

“Every one of y'all stupid so-and-so’s got that? Good!”

When Arthur was a child:

Some random knight: look how stupid these peasants are. XD none of them can read or write.

When Arthur became king:

Same random knight: *picks on 6 year old girl in town* pff, Iook girl, i'll give you back your apple, when you tell me what is written on this page.

Girl: *scoffs* reads out the entire page with ease.* You do realize this is a book for children right? As a knight you should educate yourself with books that have less - *she eyes the page once more* pictures and more words, Sire!

Arthur: just as stunned as the random knight.

Knight: who taught you to read?! You're only six and-

Girl: Merlin taught me. He teaches all the towns children. And some of the adults too. Says it's a shame that Camelot doesn't educate their people. And he's right. It is a shame. Farming and collecting herbs and stuff is a lot easier when you know what you're looking for and don't have to rely on old people's vague memories of what their grandparents have taught them once. Now can I get back my apple?

*takes apple and skips away*

Four weeks later Arthur opens the first school of Camelot, making Merlin the director who also chooses the teachers.

And Merlin said he needed educated teachers. He took a farmer in. An old woman and a 21 year old homeless mercinary. Also one blind old man who was spectacular at teaching history. Sir random knight was fired after a week for not knowing math and being bad at spelling.
