When I was a kid our family friends’ car got stolen from the parking lot while we were all there eating. After that my brother always called it the “haunted spaghetti factory” (as if a ghost stole the minivan??”)
Everything about this makes me want to SCREAM. This is why students (reporters or not) need to have 1A protections. These minors are literally being punished for telling the outside world the reality of what goes on in their school. It is unsafe and unforgivable.
The Student Press Law Center condemns in the strongest terms the suspension of Georgia high school students for posting photos of their crowded school during COVID-19. https://t.co/FLnfMb4CD0
Same. I learned about Juneteenth through a Blackish episode and the Greenwood massacre through a true crime podcast. It’s insane to be learning Black history through pop culture instead of like ... school.
I am a dipshit. It took an episode of Atlanta to teach me about Juneteenth. It took an episode of Watchmen to teach me about the Tulsa massacre. It shouldn’t have. And I’m pretty sure I’m not the only dipshit out there.
