I got home last night for winter break, and I found out tonight that my little brother's 8th grade American history class is watching the Ten Commandments. I made a big fuss about it, and my mom sent in an e-mail to the teacher asking her to explain why she thinks the movie is appropriate. But now my little brother seems pretty stressed about it. I feel kind of bad. :\

I also ended up blocking someone on my facebook feed who kept posting things like, "BREAKING NEWS: Over 100 children were killed in Chicago between March of 2011 and March of 2012." "BREAKING NEWS: 70 children have been killed by drone strikes under the Obama administration."

I understand his point, but I don't know. ): It seemed inappropriate. Sometimes I feel like the only proper immediate response to events like those today is silence.

so inappropriate.

so many people were posting shit that was particularly fucked up to be posting at the time.

looking forward to an update about the ten commandments thing.

There have been times I have wanted to storm in to school and throw a fit, but my kids asked my not to. One daughter's class had a nativity play as part of the winter party (we used to go out of out way to avoid the word "Christmas") where a Jewish boy was Joseph. This is a public school.
