72 - Teacher Appreciation Week is BullShit
Little Red School House
If someone’s job requires an appreciation Week it means they aren’t getting paid enough. I hate Teacher Appreciation Week because it only magnifies all the ways teachers are NOT appreciated. I'd really rather it just not happen at all. Or alternatively, maybe it would be best if it happened all year round, in our paychecks, and in our working conditions. Get the fuck outta here with that bullshit teacher appreciation week nonsense. If you appreciate us, fight to get schools funded, cops out of schools, end schools shootings, and at the very least treat us with the dignity and respect of...

70 - Brutally Honest with Sammie and Adam

When we talk about systems, we should be talking about a system not individuals. When we use words to describe what we stand for, we should mean everything that comes with it. But too often we don’t. Sammie and Adam touch on these concepts in a wide ranging discussion on the pandemic, police murders, and sexism in purportedly ‘leftist’ spaces. Sammie shares a number of personal experiences and Adam offers sage like wisdom such as “White people, shut the fuck up.” Twitter @equalrightsplz Twitter @lredschoolhouse Patreon @littleredschoolhouse Twitter @comfortablecam Closing music...
