Gay people are born into and belong to every society in the world. They are all ages, all races, all faiths. They are doctors and teachers, farmers and bankers, soldiers and athletes. And whether we know it, or whether we acknowledge it, they are our family, our friends, and our neighbors. Being gay is not a western invention. It is a human reality.

I’m sorry, Occupy Wall Street doesn’t need a manifesto. The message is as clear as a bell: Wall Street broke the economy—badly—we’re all still suffering for it. Wall Street never got held accountable for it, and now they’re using their power and their money to stop us from fixing the mess. They broke the economy and then they ate the political system.

Absolutely horrifying story of a 10 year old boy with autism being abused by his teacher and her aide. The class is a special needs class and the teacher & her aide exploit that fact to the fullest. The teacher and all of the staff except the aide, Jodi, were not fired. The teachers all have tenure, and were probably not fired due to that, and instead they were moved to other class rooms. Though they did not physically hurt the kids, they did verbally abuse them, and bullying, of any kind, especially from adults to little kids, and Especially to kids who have special needs, should not be tolerated. The link below is a petition for a piece of legislation that would immediately fire teachers if they were bullying students, regardless of whether they have tenure.
