1/ Pittsburgh woman Darian Balcolm was found guilty of a *CRIME* for posting a sign in her front yard that read, "transing kids is abuse and homophobia."
The State of Pennsylvania made her a CRIMINAL for a widely shared political point of view.
2/ the O'Donnell family initiated the criminal charges against Ms. Balcolm to silence her protected speech & bankrupt her w frivolous litigation by alleging their adopted son Ke'Jaun, self-described as "a proud black trans girl," felt "harassed."
The sign was up for 1 day.
3/ Judge Leah Williams Duncan said the sign was "fighting words," an exception to protected speech.
So, the Westboro Baptist Church can harass veterans' funerals, but a private yard sign is a CRIME?
Rhode Island public school teacher Heidi Fee at @CharihoRegional invited a stranger at the gym to sit in on her class to settle a personal dispute abt education & wrote an op Ed saying so.
She invited a stranger into elementary kids' class bc she got pissed off at the gym? 1/5
Then @CharihoRegional teacher Heidi Fee offered to give this stranger a grade 4 state practice test bc it's hard for adults.🤔
The resounding theme of her op-ed is "we can't educate better & u aren't qualified to expect better. Also pay me more via teachers union demands." 2/5
She ends her rant abt her hard teaching job w the age-old "I'm the expert" conclusion & calls the very normal person at the gym declining to weirdly barge in on her class "the true definition of ignorance" & simply part of "people bashing public schools." 3/5
Massachusetts allows boys on girls teams as a matter of "equal rights."
Girls getting teeth knocked out by more powerful boys is not equality.
Here is the clip I recorded because the school already took the video down of the Swampscott male field hockey player hitting a ball into the face of a female Dighton-Rehoboth field hockey player, knocking out her teeth.
