"Every age has its own fascism. [...]There are many ways of reaching this point, and not just through the terror of police intimidation, but by denying and distorting information, by undermining systems of justice, by paralyzing the education system, and by spreading in a myriad subtle ways nostalgia for a world where order reigned[.]"

- Primo Levi, Writer, Chemist, Holocaust Survivor

These teachers work up to 6 jobs. Now they're fed up and ready to walk out

Craig Troxell steps precariously across a customer's roof, marking hail damage from yet another Oklahoma storm. He still smells of the freshly cut grass from the swanky side of town, where he had just mowed lawns to make a few extra dollars.

Teachers working multiple jobs to make ends meet IS NOT OK. OKLAHOMA GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER. 

Why are teachers and schools so severely underfunded in OK? “[I]n 1992, the state constitution was changed to require a supermajority approval -- 75% of the legislature -- before taxes could be raised.”  This is why - if a dude approaches you on the street with a clipboard asking you to sign a petition demanding a supermajority approval to pass any new taxes - you run away.

Photos by Simon Edelman/AP In an interview with the AP on Wednesday, Edelman said that during the meeting, Murray outlined actions he wanted the Trump administration to take, which the news agency says "included replacing members of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, pulling the United States out of the Paris climate accords and revoking the Clean Power Plan."

Edelman said he heard Perry respond, "I think we can help you on this," according to the AP.

“...the world did know and remained silent. And that is why I swore never to be silent whenever and wherever human beings endure suffering and humiliation. We must take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. Sometimes we must interfere. When human lives are endangered, when human dignity is in jeopardy, national borders and sensitivities become irrelevant. Wherever men and women are persecuted because of their race, religion, or political views, that place must - at that moment - become the center of the universe.” - Elie Wiesel’s Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech in 1986

Even the worst college procrastinators wouldn’t submit a paper with illegible handwritten notes in the margins.

The rule was written in response to the 2012 massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., where 20-year-old Adam Lanza shot dead 20 students and six teachers.
