    Years ago, Normal School was the minimum teaching requirement for K-6, at least down here. That's basically two years education and training past the high school level. It worked. Don't see why it wouldn't work today.

    @jon-nyc said in Get some popcorn: @89th said in Get some popcorn: These schools see “affirmation of gender” as a simple act of kindness. But in reality it is a powerful psychosocial intervention which is itself subject to iatrogenic harm. It’s telling them ‘this is the right course for you’, often putting them on a path that leads to sterilization, and surgery. I think it varies. Some simply see it as a kindness, but some see it as a Holy Purpose of theirs and take delight and glee in reporting abnormally large numbers of students that are socially transitioning. No matter their intent, the simple fact that they feel justified in obscuring these facts and not consulting with the parents let alone allowing the parents to take the lead in these conversations is abominable and shows a staggering level of narcissism that is endangering these children. Loss of licensure is not enough. Any teacher or administrator that took it upon themselves to assist a child’s transition without parental consent needs to face criminal charges. I am simply flabbergasted that ANYBODY can approve. It is so fundamentally flawed and frigging evil. I blame Hilary “it takes a village” God Damn Clinton and everyone that believes similar.

    Very interesting. There are two things that amaze me about aircraft. Their ridiculous longevity (B-52, anyone?) How long it takes to go from concept, to prototype to production. With respect to #2, go back 80 years and look at the run-up to WWII. Was it (literally) decades for an idea to come to fruition?

    China being shitty will hurt China more than anyone else in the long. No one has sympathy for China - other countries are rooting for their downturn.
