 You weren't their target. All my shit is public and occasionally one of my posts hits a major board reader and blows up. If it's just links like the earliest one was other people jump on it and get it viral. People don't realize how little effort it takes if you're in the right place at the right time. I've never seen so many copies of a video on twitter before. Hopefully this will spark a national discussion on troons in school and a universal no tolerance for violence policy for all public schools. The data the principal is referring to is bullshit. It's just pretty educationist talk. Teacher are more in love with the theory of teaching than the practicality of teaching. Very few care about the students and most care about their egos and being seen as moral heroes. That's why I retired from the Detroit Public School district and went back home.
