As you have probably heard by now there's a teacher shortage that is most dramatic in both Texas and Florida where their extreme right-wing governors have passed laws that interfere with both free speech and teaching. Their advocacies of book burning and the As you have probably seen "don't say gay" bills make it hard for a teacher to see themselves steering clear of politically driven prosecutions if they say the wrong thing or advocate for, as yet unknown, books and other teaching materials. I can't see how a teacher would feel comfortable teaching a class without a lawyer and a political scientist in the room to help him or her manage their lesson plans. Unfortunately, neither state pays a salary or wage high enough to cover the cost of such fare thus the only sane alternative is to move to a more rational state. Could I be wrong about this?
A collection of articles defining our times. The pages contain clickable links, don't let the titles fool you, some of the best articles have very non-descript titles and there are usually more articles on the matters in the days and week pages the links land on so it's a sort of treasure hunt through history, Enjoy!
