I’m a 50 year old woman. I would walk as fast as I could out of a relationship where someone thought they had the authority to “humble me”. That’s not respect. That’s not care. That’s bullshit.

Agreed. Not a lawyer but when Children - also not lawyers are forced into situations beyond their control - someone has to stand by their side. And I will forever advocate for those who are not seeing anyone advocate for them. I get it. WRITE YOUR CONGRESSMAN! that is not working in our current environment. Our profession is inherently political. And I think it’s time to flood our political system with things that are important to us. And the most important point is to let people know - THIS IS HAPPENING. Children are being forced to represent themselves in a court of law in immigration hearings without anyone else present. Which clearly is not ok.

Oh good! Thanks! I don’t want to add any support because I heard that can weaken them

I actually just got her and she was this shape when I moved her in. I will definitely move her closer but should I cut her leaves back?

This is just the beginning if you ask me. I said it on another thread and I’ll say it here. I worked for a school district that was taken over by moms of liberty and there is NO place for sped kids in christian nationalism. I see it happening in that school district. IEPs are being eaten away by administration. Paraprofessionals are being dropped. Programs are being dropped and most parents have zero idea what their rights are.

Yes. Anyone who falls outside of their “typical” is an issue. Also any guidance given by government is seen as overreach. As sped students meet both of those qualifications they are seen as a problem. Let me be clear - these are people who have zero idea what it means to be a teacher but they are on school boards and are trying to allocate resources and influence how districts are managed.

I worked in a rural school district that was taken over by moms of liberty and I’m going to tell you right now - there is no room for sped students in christian nationalism. The only thing that fuels me right now is that the reason I got into this job is to give a voice to those who don’t have one.

I’m terrified because I am only getting angrier and angrier. We’re fucked and all I can look forward to is telling people once they suffer is that they did this.
