    That guy failed English literacy. Though… Honestly… Not surprising for a right wing American.

    Seems like everything is a pronoun these days. Anything can be a pronoun too. Could I even be one?

    That’s a well radicalised obedient party soldier who will stop at nothing once you point at an inconvenient target and say the right buzzwords. Real Jan6 material, just as planned and executed for decades.

        Yeah this is peak reddit story telling. I can even see the top comment: this is MORE than mildly infuriating. That’s why it’s posted there, engagement farming

        So is this bit about some delinquent fascist with dementia who was already president once up for bid again. Also, that when he don’t win, there will be a coup like when JFK was assassinated by the corporations that successfully sold it as being conducted by anyone else.

        …and “bid” because let’s be real. The whole shebang is a fucking auction that has sold the fucking business of “Government” to the corporations respected by allowing them to STOP PAYING %78 IN TAXES.

          JFK very explicitly pissed off the CIA when he fired a bunch of the Bay of Pigs hawks and failed to escalate with Cuba after the missile crisis.

          Harris isn’t doing anything like that. She’s fully endorsed our militarism abroad and our police state at home.

          If she catches a bullet, it’ll be for the same reason Trump nearly did - because he was sloppy with his security detail and they were phoning in their end of the job.

      Left or right is irrelevant this is a person who follows propaganda without question. Both sides do exactly the same, and have fools who follow blindly.

      I saw a meme yesterday that references this phenomenon:

      “the saying used to be ‘it’s too good to be true’ has morphed into ‘it’s too horrid to be false.’”

        The fascinating thing about these stories is that 10+ years ago people were all like: pics or didn’t happen.

        Now everyone is up in arms to defend these stories they want to believe in. /R/nOtHiNgEvErHaPpEnS

          That’s a good point, I am surprised by the amount of people who don’t seem to care if something is true as long as it’s “entertaining”. It’s probably a similar mindset to enjoying reality TV or pro wrestling?

        Yeah, none of it makes sense. Why would any teacher not immediately file a lawsuit, unless they’re not a teacher and they’re trying to drum up “engagement”? But hey, just like the story in the OP, no need to ask questions because it jibes with my point of view!

      I swear, I’ve been thinking there’s nothing from the US that can surprise me anymore, but this did get me.

      How can there be no-one there in any position of power to ask “wtf are you doing”?

        The thing that really gets me about this story is it was an ESL School. The students were mostly adults learning to speak English. Not only should an ESL school understand the English language well enough to know what a homophone is, homophones are an extremely important concept for non-native English speakers because that kind of word can cause lexical confusion.

        This teacher was fired for doing his job correctly.

      “may see the ‘homo’ side and think it has something to do with gay sex.”

      Better not let him see assume, class, bass (ironically a homophone) or many other words with such scandalous suffixes lol

    Any person who freaks out over grammar lessons and destroys a child’s homework is completely unhinged and seriously needs some mental health care interventions.

    That lack of impulse control and rage has no place in a family setting… or anywhere really.

    I guess these are the family values conservatives are pushing these days. Grown men ripping up a kid’s homework assignments. I guess book burning wasn’t enough.
