There are pronouns in the fucking bible
I wonder how he feels about you saying that.
That’s far more than mildly infuriating. I’d consider this child abuse.
I hope this kid escapes this clearly toxic situation.
Lol, wow. Sorry you had to deal with that.
Best troll: buy him a 5th grade grammar book for his bday/Xmas.
I fully expect JD Vance to use an elementary school pronoun worksheet to suggest drag queens are grooming children.
That guy is voting. Probably for the Nazi.
Literacy is bad mmmm’kay?
/s (obviously)
That guy failed English literacy. Though… Honestly… Not surprising for a right wing American.
I don’t know, have you seen how they are teaching math these days?
This liberal agenda is getting out of hand!! /s
They even use Arabic numerals! Shariah state!
TIL grammar is an info-hazard.
Seems like everything is a pronoun these days. Anything can be a pronoun too. Could I even be one?
Mr. Rogers says you can do anything you want if you use your imagination.
Also
theseand one in that context.Edit: these is functioning as an adjective there
I was going to make a joke anti-pronoun sub where we just talk about whatever while refusing to use pronouns until I looked up the list of pronouns and saw how painful that would be.
Pretty sure pronouns didnt exist for him in school because he dropped out before they taught it to him
That’s a well radicalised obedient party soldier who will stop at nothing once you point at an inconvenient target and say the right buzzwords. Real Jan6 material, just as planned and executed for decades.
I mean, it’s a Reddit story, so grain of salt.
But it is a very funny story
Yeah this is peak reddit story telling. I can even see the top comment: this is MORE than mildly infuriating. That’s why it’s posted there, engagement farming
So is this bit about some delinquent fascist with dementia who was already president once up for bid again. Also, that when he don’t win, there will be a coup like when JFK was assassinated by the corporations that successfully sold it as being conducted by anyone else.
…and “bid” because let’s be real. The whole shebang is a fucking auction that has sold the fucking business of “Government” to the corporations respected by allowing them to STOP PAYING %78 IN TAXES.
Also, that when he don’t win, there will be a coup like when JFK was assassinated
JFK very explicitly pissed off the CIA when he fired a bunch of the Bay of Pigs hawks and failed to escalate with Cuba after the missile crisis.
Harris isn’t doing anything like that. She’s fully endorsed our militarism abroad and our police state at home.
If she catches a bullet, it’ll be for the same reason Trump nearly did - because he was sloppy with his security detail and they were phoning in their end of the job.
Left or right is irrelevant this is a person who follows propaganda without question. Both sides do exactly the same, and have fools who follow blindly.
Wonder if this is real or just ragebait, really can’t be sure in the current day lmao
I agree. It can go either the way, the story is written in such a manner for people to be angry. However, I could easily see someone becoming so brain washed by conservative media to actually believe this.
It is documented that watching Fox News is terrible. Or that people will believe even the most insane conspiracy theory. I think it’s safe to assume that there are indeed people out there who do believe pronouns only exist because of trans people and the “Left”.
I saw a meme yesterday that references this phenomenon:
“the saying used to be ‘it’s too good to be true’ has morphed into ‘it’s too horrid to be false.’”
On reddit it’s usually best to just assume something is for attention
The fascinating thing about these stories is that 10+ years ago people were all like: pics or didn’t happen.
Now everyone is up in arms to defend these stories they want to believe in. /R/nOtHiNgEvErHaPpEnS
That’s a good point, I am surprised by the amount of people who don’t seem to care if something is true as long as it’s “entertaining”. It’s probably a similar mindset to enjoying reality TV or pro wrestling?
If I agree with it, it must be real.
A Teacher in Utah was fired for writing an educational blog post about homophones.
https://www.huffpost.com/entry/blogger-fired-homophones_n_5637873
Homophobes? Pronouns? SEEMS one sided to me.
Teach the kids Heterophobes too.
Give both sides: pro-nouns and pro-verbs.
Stop with this culture war in our SCHOOLS.
He isn’t a teacher he’s a social media provocateur I would take that story with a huge grain of salt.
Yeah, none of it makes sense. Why would any teacher not immediately file a lawsuit, unless they’re not a teacher and they’re trying to drum up “engagement”? But hey, just like the story in the OP, no need to ask questions because it jibes with my point of view!
I swear, I’ve been thinking there’s nothing from the US that can surprise me anymore, but this did get me.
How can there be no-one there in any position of power to ask “wtf are you doing”?
The thing that really gets me about this story is it was an ESL School. The students were mostly adults learning to speak English. Not only should an ESL school understand the English language well enough to know what a homophone is, homophones are an extremely important concept for non-native English speakers because that kind of word can cause lexical confusion.
This teacher was fired for doing his job correctly.
Christ it’s the pediatrician named Peter Phile from Brasseye. Satire is dead.
“may see the ‘homo’ side and think it has something to do with gay sex.”
Better not let him see assume, class, bass (ironically a homophone) or many other words with such scandalous suffixes lol
Any person who freaks out over grammar lessons and destroys a child’s homework is completely unhinged and seriously needs some mental health care interventions.
That lack of impulse control and rage has no place in a family setting… or anywhere really.
I guess these are the family values conservatives are pushing these days. Grown men ripping up a kid’s homework assignments. I guess book burning wasn’t enough.
