Harry Potter is missing heroes alltogether. The heroes would have been the plucky group of marxist muggles who go round up all the witches and wizards and tie them up in chains and sink them to the bottom of a river. What is the wizarding world if not a resource hoarding gated community, one that needs to be btfo by a squad of salt of the earth humans? Also the wizards end up generating some kind of ultimate evil wizard Hitler every generation or so, so that needs to be nipped in the bud like a motherfucker.

Also, nationalize JK Roflmaoing's bank account.

When we're talking about literature we should always remember that the difference between heroes and herpes is razor thin so watch your asses out there kids.

Oh, that might be exculpatory

Cause yeah, Charters were originally a "hey, what if the teachers owned the schools and could set the lesson plans and all that" sort of idea if I remember correctly, and then got IMMEDIATELY co-opted because that wasn't explicitly what they were.

The non-lovely theoretical underpinning for charter schools is that these schools can act as a laboratory for implementing best practices while still beholden to the state testing regime as instituted by NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND.

It's been about 15 years since they have exploded across the country and the amount of best practices generalized into the DOE system from charters has amounted to dick penis.

There are two basic varieties of charter schools. "progressive" schools that are run by well-meaning wealthy liberals which tend to focus on real problems like the inclusion of students with disabilities or race/class segregation and private prison model charter schools that operate by slashing costs to the barest loving minimum and pocketing the dough from the state. Both of these models are egregiously hosed up in their own right.

The so called progressive schools tend be poorly equipped to tackle issues tied to economic deprivation and tend to have (at least here in nyc) staffs that do not interface well with students who are not white. Basically, they throw a bunch of hippy dippy theoretical poo poo from the likes of the Columbia university teachers college (the birthplace of the term microaggression) at the kids, which tends to alienate and tokenize the kids who they are making efforts to help. Also they tend to spend shitloads of cash on ivory tower consultants while often pawning their most difficult students off on 1 to 1 behavior paraprofessionals who make minimum wage and are almost 100% black women.

Obviously the private prison model for charter schools is dog poo poo too.

Honestly though, having personally worked in a progressive charter school, I can't say which is worse.

I can't wait for the mid terms to be over so we can dive right the gently caress into the 2020 shitstorm. It's going to be so hosed, and in ways we cannot even comprehend atpit. Try to remember the person you were before the 2016 election. That person is dead and the new you is only going to get newer. Not in any kind of good way, mind you.

The essential truth of the Freep thread, that there is always more and it is always worse, has generalized to our entire society.

I am puking in my mouth and the mouths of the people I love constantly at this attempt to make the slime knobs who "work" in the intelligence agencies out to be some kind of heroes.

We all know this but I am putting it into the record for future generations. The vile psychopathic people who do intelligence are a combination of the worst aspects of cops and the worst aspects of troops all in one. These blood soaked bozos operate a global atrocity carnival with zero accountability and take in sick paychecks on your dime to do it. We all understand that if we were to list all of the hosed up things the alphabet soup communities have perpetrated, we'd be here all day and we'd contemplate suicide all night.

On top of that they get all lovely about how they keep us safe from 9/11s by killing poor children and selling heroine to pay islamists to fight the Syrian army. I mean poo poo, gently caress 9/11 I guess but GOD drat AMERICA.

LMAO at the idea of ossoff takes the nomination and runs against trump

that'd be so hosed, it's maybe the funniest of all possible picks

It'd be like

Ossoff would be like "well, sir, I just don't think that under your leadership, America is thriving." Then Trump would say "Who gives a gently caress what you think pencil dick." So Ossoff would play the decorum card and be like "I'll have you know that is a disrespectful comment" And Trump would be like "No poo poo sherlock"

and ossoff would get creamed like mcgovern

Janeway is a murderer. I get that being lost in the delta quadrant required a certain amount of moral flexibility and I am sure that the pressure was intense but this does not excuse her actions on several occasions. The most obvious example, as we all know, is the forced separation of the entity Tuvix back into his constituent parts, Tuvok and Neelix. Tuvix was a blessing in that he was union of the most beloved aspects of his components. He had the nimble mind of Tuvok and was as personably ebullient as Neelix.

No one chose to make Tuvix, but his life could have been carried forth with dignity.

AOC needs to address this IMO

I read Burr by Gore Vidal a couple years ago and it is a really great read. Hamilton is made out to be a bastard-born, obnoxiously ambitious opportunist who only rose to prominence by putting his tongue right up george washington's rear end. It's a deeply satisfying book and a great opportunity for you uneducated fucks to read all 7 books in Gore Vidal's wonderful Narratives on Empire series which makes history come alive (and makes rich people look like dumbfucks). The third book, 1876 is my favorite and tells the story of the election which Rutherford B Hayes stole from Samuel Tilden which I knew nothing about until I read the book. Fascinating!

The antimuslim poo poo bothers me a lot. the best conversations I have at work are with my muslim colleagues and they typically meander around to how compatible socialism is with the economic aspects of sharia law.

But we're all teachers at a poor rear end multiethnic autism school so I don't know if that is just the radicalization that goes along with living that life speaking most loudly there.

Anyway, GWOT troops are loving tragically broke brained in that way and I take pity on them for the lovely wringer W and obummer put them through.
