This story uses the Poway Unified School District as its example. I have written about my own experiences as a high school student within that district in the past npr.org/2021/10/26/104…
Here. It's not a coincidence. I'm not kidding when I say I know exactly who these people are. washingtonpost.com/outlook/2019/0…
Then again, getting to work through your teenaged bullying traumas on the national stage -- and for the greater good -- is a rather large privilege that I'll be savoring every step of the way as I take all these motherfuckers down
But if you read that example you'll see it's the same tactics being deployed here, right this second
Blah blah tried to warn everybody blah blah

The school board shit was a test run for literally everything else
People really should start listening to the shit I say. I'm not saying it because it's my feels. I'm saying it because I have years of experience dealing with these exact people. It was just invisible to much of the rest of the country, as it was limited to the border region.
Look at these visuals, read these quotes. You might even recognize some of the names. They were blocking a bus full of children seeking asylum kpbs.org/news/border-im…

My BA, which I would like to remind everyone I did not get until I was well into my thirties (high school dropout -> 16 years of community college -> transfer to UCSD), is in International Studies-Anthropology-Linguistics. I just took whatever the hell I felt like taking.
Journalism is learning about the world. It's a craft, a trade, and an art. You should always learn about things other than journalism in college, too -- unless that's what you want to write about. I always recommend at least minoring in something other than journalism.
But in this society, the degree is what's important. Nothing changed my life like getting a degree. It was great soaking up all the learning I could in academia (though I have my criticisms, of course) but the perceived shift in my social class was what made all the difference.

It was bourbon by the way

No, it's part of an ASTROTURFED, INAUTHENTICALLY ORGANIZED national "movement" led by far right groups using people who say they are parents with children in the schools they are complaining about, and who in many cases are lying.
This is fucking exhausting, has no one learned anything at all?
