Kansas Isn’t Home Anymore…

I am pro teachers.

I have worked in schools
Like all positions and types of jobs. ... there are good ones and not so good.


I am pro fact checker
Someone in KS or other state can propose laws. It does not mean they passed.

I am pro making the place you live better in your own small or large way. Whether it is in Oz (aka KS) or Australia.

I am originally from Kansas and most of my family still lives there. That is why I hate Brownback so much. He is ruining the state. Kathleen Sebilius (sp?) may not have done a great job afterwards but when she was governor of Kansas the budget was balanced and things were going good. Everything started getting worse as soon as Brownback took office.

Well, I LOVE TEA. I say give me more tea!

Tea is fine and good, but only if you have money to buy it, which seems to be out of reach of more and more people in your state, thanks to Brownback's adherence to ideology.
Personally, I much prefer coffee.

And I second this. That's why I live in Kansas and you don't. I also believe in Secession. That would be best for everyone.

I like coffee
I like tea
I like the java and the java likes me.

Lately been drinking Kava Kava to chill at night.
I believe in God.

I'm blessed to be able to afford a glass tea whenever I want.

Anyone like the band Kansas?

All we are is dust in the wind and other hits.

me...Jayhawker air hockey champ back in the day....

I do believe this last paragraph. I believe the teachers shouldn't get paid as much as they do after retirement, I believe that school should go all year, and being in college now again I believe the teachers are trying to teach kids the wrong stuff - teachers are definitely Leftist and their teaching shows that. That is why I believe a lot more in homeschooling. There were classes that I have taken in college where I had to watch what I said because I knew the teacher was Democrat. Teachers shouldn't have that much power. I still haven't figured out why most teachers are Democrat. I know they belong to the Teachers Union and that's Democrat. Maybe that's it.

Exhibit A: My very ex-friend De De was a school teacher and an extreme radical Leftist - hence the "very ex friend".

Good for you! I'm a Jayhawker too! Hey that rhymed!

I loved school in MO and KS.

Group projects and presentations before the class seem to be obstacles of various heights to folks on the spectrum.
They were for me in school

Music and theater, which were taken on the side during college, come in very handy these days.

If it's time to get "out of Dodge or Drudge" it is up to you.

To thine self be true.
Love and prayers

Well, you can keep Kansas, and I'll keep Washington.
I don't believe secession is best for anyone. America has been a shining beacon for the world as an example of free government and equality, a safe harbor for those seeking to live in liberty, as well as a force for fighting global oppression, whether that was from fascism in the past, or Islamic fundamentalism today. All that would be gone if we as a country were to break up into squabbling little independant states.
As for the transgender matter - There are transmen who now appear as male after surgery and introduction of hormones. Are they to use the women's room? What of the trans women whose very lives could be in jeopardy were they to walk into a men's room filled with violent rednecks?

Teachers everywhere are on the left of the political spectrum in the country they are in. It's pretty much part of their job description; their job is to teach everyone, regardless of ability. After a few years in the profession, they have a unique overview of abilities, personality types and home circumstances. They worry what will happen to their students once they finish school. The type of person who is attracted to a teaching job is on average more altruistic and idealistic than your average person. Teachers are seldom in it for the money. I'm not saying they are not prejudiced and don't become disillusioned, and that there isn't a large variety of personalities in the teaching profession as well, but the average teacher is very into equality and cooperation.

1. It is good to be comfortable where you hang your hat or other clothing accessory

2. There are teachers and school staff on the right

3. There have been trans folks using there preferred bathrooms and other dailies for decades. They just don't announce it or put it to a vote.

IV. Time for golf

The answer is pretty simple. Teachers are trained in critical thinking and they tend to value fact-based opinion. Hence, most SEEM like democrats...

And another thing... I've disagreed with MANY teachers and I've never been penalized for it--not even once.

In my experience, there's no problem AS LONG AS you can support your views with facts.

I've had some lengthy rebuttals attached to a few papers, but I've never lost a point for disagreeing with a teacher when I could support my position.

Then you should read the first line of this article.

I never spoke in class like I do here - not as much anyway because it was hard not to say anything. The teacher had even said that there had been fights before in his class and chair throwing, etc., Lord help us. I knew the teacher was Democrat. We did have some heated "discussions", but I held my tongue more than I wanted to. The teacher must have liked my spunk because he hit on me (it was totally unexpected - I was just standing there and looked up and there he was! Our noses were almost touching! Yuck! I think I just threw up in my mouth. That actually bothered me for awhile even though other people were around because he did other things too, but I just can't remember now.), but I got my A! Ha! I made such a good grade that he even let me out of doing a second research paper! I guess I know how to use my Conservative wiles, huh? Oh yeah.

The worst looking slums I've ever seen where outside KC.Doesn't look like those conservative values are helping anyone.I also really doubt that most people in Lawrence would care if there was a transgendered person in the bathroom.Very good beer there at Free State brewery.And it was chock full of Liberals.

That's why I'm not in Lawrence. The nursing part of the school is connected to the KU Hospital that is close to Johnson County and the rich Plaza. I'm also allergic to beer so you probably wouldn't catch me at the brewery. (Beer used to be my favorite drink though - with a straw! That's probably why I have an allergy now - cause I drank just too much of it. Darn. I can still remember how it tastes, too. Yum!)
