The usual. Highly personal attacks.

Oddly enough, some of them from people who I am sure agree with me that a teacher or "social worker" has no business interfering with a parent's refusal to let his son "be a girl."

A parent has that right, no doubt.

I have yet to meet any teacher that has or actually believes that they should either. Though I'm sure in your infinite, "Twitter inspired" wisdom you will no doubt "unearth" someone that "validates" your claims

I actually have a friend whose child went through with the operation. I can't remember if she got involved all that much or not. They actually turned it into a 2 part reality show. Perhaps some of the intolerant cast of characters that populate should check it out so that they could have a better "perspective"

This is how you play "hide the ball." You've spent multiple pages arguing for a teacher's/social worker's right to inset his/her own values into a student's family situation and suddenly you "don't know any teacher who believes they should do that."

Should the same be true for a social worker who knows a student is being encouraged to "be a girl" but doesn't want to?

I think the better answer is to not let minors legally make such important decisions until they are at the age where they are legally allowed to make other adult decisions but it would go both ways. "I have to sneak out of the house in a dress to school" and "My parents only let me wear a dress to school" are the same issue of parental rights.

Teachers are mandated reporters. They're often the first line of defense for an abused child. They play an important role. They also get it wrong at times.

Yeah. I think that's sad for the kid. But that's MY value. I'm not sure how far down the road of government interfering with families you want to go. Family is the most important thing, right? Nobody gets angry if Spaulding brings a government worker into a conversation.



I have no issue with that.

I already addressed that above. We're not talking about a kid who has cigarette burns on his arm or regularly comes to school with bruises. And I think "regularly" is important there. Kids play rough and fuck themselves up all the time. I'm sure you don't want to get sucked into the DCFS system because your son took a football off his nose and some teacher or social worker reported it as abuse.

For better or worse schools and teachers probe. Every parent would be pissed—even the parents who put out their cigarettes on their children.

State governments have been inserting their values into the homes of parents since this country has existed. Do you think they should?

I think we want to limit it to a point where we're strictly preventing abuse or truly egregious actions against a child. I understand that there may be disagreement over where to draw that line.

And I'm a little disappointed in you. I set you up perfectly to respond with, "Little Nas has great hands!"

Isn't that the current system unless you're unbelievably wealthy enough to have a surgeon risk their license?

In fairness, this Little Nas has the worst hands. I've stopped thinking his coordination will improve with age. Hopefully, no teacher thinks we beat him.

You wouldn't believe it. He's already smarter than I am.

I have a godson who used to be my goddaughter. He wanted to start the process at 16. I don't think they would even allow him to take hormone pills. This was 5 years ago.

You know they have a secret menu?

the one where the food is good ?

If I knew it wouldn't be a secret. I'm a snitch.

I don't know who to trust. Doctors or Libs Of TikTok.

doctors for sure, they have your best interest in mind always. They took an oath or something

Easy choice these days

JERRY: There is now. Kramer, you should really get that cough checked out by a doctor.

KRAMER: Nah, no, no, no. No doctors for me. A bunch of lackeys and yes-men all towing the company line.. Plus, they botched my vasectomy.

JERRY: They botched it?

KRAMER: I'm even more potent now! I'll take a vet over an M.D. any day. They gotta be able to cure a lizard, a chicken, a pig, a frog, all on the same day.

A good Italian deli sandwich is the best but they can be spotty and are few and far between. I think Jersey Mike's one of the better sub places for their price. I can't stand Panera and I'm not huge fan of Jimmy John's or potbelly's. There are a few places by us that are independent like mojos but then you are paying close to $50 for 2 or 3 sandwiches and I don't like their fries so no thanks.

What do we think about teachers who attend parties with high school kids where the high school kids are drinking alcohol?

This is where you play "wannabe" Tucker Carlson. Actually to inform the parent as opposed to merely listening to the child and not passing judgment would be inserting one's self into a "student's family situation". In a situation such as this the best thing to do is ask the child if they have informed their parent. If the child says no then you encourage them to discuss it with their parent. That is what any responsible profession would do. You do not blindly go off calling the parent when you do not know the family situation of the child. That child might already be in an abusive "family situation" and hauling off and calling the family might lead to further abuse.
