Tankies really have one argument to defend their genocide denial and that is "western sources are propaganda and you can't trust them". Ah, yes, the most westernest of sources, my Ukrainian grandma.

#also my Ukrainian curriculum in my Ukrainian school and Ukrainian writers and Ukrainian historians and Ukrainian people who lived under ussr #all of them are actually cia spies didnt you know #tankies

Milestone Monday

April 15th is National American Sign Language (ASL) Day, observed annually to celebrate the ASL community and its contributions to inclusivity, and to encourage folks to learn the language. Regarded as a natural language, sign language has likely existed for as long as there has been a need to communicate, however, the emergence of ASL is largely credited to Thomas Gallaudet (1787-1851) founder of the American School for the Deaf. Uniting deaf children from the western hemisphere the American School for the Deaf was fertile soil for language contact, developing ASL from French Sign Language, village sign languages, and home sign systems. Today, more than a half-million people throughout the United States use ASL to communicate as their native language.

In recognition of the day, we’re sharing another book from our Historical Curriculum Collection the Basic Pre-School Signed English Dictionary published by Gallaudet College Press in 1973. Signed English features drawn signs with written instructions to represent 975 words most frequently used by and with pre-school children. The editors also include sign markers and the American Manual Alphabet to be used in conjunction with the vocabulary, encouraging a language that is adaptable and offers a more complete English model of communication.

Signed English was edited in part by Harry Bornstein and Karen Saulnier who worked on several signing books for young readers throughout the 70s, 80s, and 90s, and illustrated by Jack Fennell and Ann Silver.

it’s hilarious to me that fushiguro went back to his old middle school and everyone talked about how his sister, who went to middle school with him, was the one taking care of him because I’m convinced that seventeen year old gojo had his ass in a chair every pta meeting starting shit with the other moms and the entire administration collectively said “that man cannot even take care of himself” and decided twelve year old tsumiki was the only possible caretaker

#jjk #jujutsu kiasen #fushiguro megumi #gojo satoru #jjk spoilers #fushiguro tsumiki #fushiguro terrorized his middle school so thoroughly that he left and came back a year later and people almost pissed themselves #and gojo is 1200% that parent who finds out their kid got in a fight and sprints into the office to find out if they won #teacher: I’m very concerned about fushiguro. he gets into multiple fights every single day #principal: we have to take into consideration his home life. he’s being raised by someone who’s a child themself #teacher: do you mean gojo #principal: tsumiki #look gojo was seventeen and completely insane and his boyfriend just broke up with him so he could start a cult #Shoko was basically a child of divorce #his ENTIRE social circle was Megumi and tsumiki #overinvolved middle aged mother of four: I’m very concerned about the math curriculum #gojo age 17 decided teenage fatherhood could fix him: the math curriculum is a FUCKING DISGRACE #fushiguro was an eleven year old delinquent in such eternal discomfort that he was on the verge of ending it all if anyone looked at him #and there was gojo. the embarrassment.#pov youre just trying to run a school but a 17 year old magician with a terrible personality broke up with his equally atrocious boyfriend #now he keeps showing up pta meetings and trying to fight the other moms in the parking lot

“uh duh I paid attention in history class, I got an A” skill issue. I slept through every single history class and still got an A

#this has been a post #also thinking about how much they genuinely did not teach us in my history classes #versus what you usually see people say ‘they didn’t teach us this in history class!’#I swear every time I’ve seen someone use that as an excuse. it’s about something they 100% did teach in my school #(in my school as a qualifier because I am Well Aware your mileage may vary depending on such factors as #what country you live in. how much funding your school has. how good your teacher is. what your curriculum is #basically there’s no guarantee of anyone learning any particular piece of history in school)

By implying that children are too stupid and rude to learn about the world and learn how the world works and how to interact with others, you are casting responsibility away from the people who are responsible for that child's upbringing and placing the blame on the children (who don't have the autonomy given to them to be allowed to decide what they want) who can't help what they do and do not learn, often.

If the children aren't okay, then investigate why before turning to thought-terminating clichés of, "Well, the kids are just stupid and dumb and aren't even worth the effort because they're lazy!"

#youth liberation #i was really bothered when i saw this clip where this person was saying almost verbatim that...#...'kids [these days] are too STUPID and they're teachers are scared!'...#...why is the blame placed on the kids who have no control over school curriculum and what their home life is like or if they have money...#...it's because when you place the blame on the people with no power or control you don't have the responsibility to change circumstances..#...you essentially keep the status quo while simultaneously belittling a group of vulnerable people...#...and thus you feed into the cyclical nature of the broken education system #the kids these days AREN'T okay but it ISN'T THEIR FAULT...#...it's the fault of late-stage capitalism and poorly-funded education and a world that wasn't even built with them in mind...#...they had NO PART in the creation of the world which is hostile to their entire existence #don't mind the incorrect usage of their in the second tag i was so focused on how pissed i was #also remember how a good chunk of these kids lived through *checks notes* the fucking PANDEMIC LOCKDOWN #which was a clown show in terms of supporting kids and their parent/s #some places handled lockdown in the US better than others but holy fuck in my area at least it was a nightmare #what do you expect from parents who are now working full-time and teaching part/full-time and parenting full-time?#what support exactly are you expecting they recieved? because you'll likely find they got either a little or NONE #hilarious that i used the wrong their in a post subtweeting about education LOL #look i was focused on how PISSED i was lol cut me some slack here

cultural perspective being indispensible in media consumption but looking back i find it so funny that for years and years before teaching in japan i thought it was another suspension-of-disbelief surrealist kagepro thing that haruka and takane spent all their time in a homeroom class for just the two of them and now the maximum number of kids we've ever had in my special needs class is 3

#granted i work at a really small school but having separate classes and teachers for 1-4 special needs kids is really standard in japan #i know there are specialized high schools but i think most kids go through public school no matter what #i'm no expert on the subject but i think the approach is interesting #the fact that they're willing to dedicate that much personal attention - separate homeroom classes #and other teachers teaching individualized curriculum for all subjects - is nice #i also feel like i'd be planning really different content for english class with each of my two usual students than i am for the both o the #so that's just part of my job but again. that's just part of my job #yuukei yesterday was already one of the most grounded parts of kagepro #but knowing just how normal mr. tateyama's homeroom class is in cultural context it really is just an ordinary teen love story #i think i might've felt even stronger abt that when i was 16 #personal #kagepro

americans who never paid attention in history classes: i can't believe they lied about this and that and never taught us about these things

americans who actually paid attention: ??? have you just been checked out since like third grade??

Carter Sherman at The Guardian:

Awash in soft, peach-colored light, the infant yawns, sticks her thumb in her mouth and flutters her eyes at the camera. As the camera pulls away from her, an umbilical cord and the fleshy tunnel surrounding the infant comes into focus. This isn’t a newborn baby: it’s a fetus in a disembodied womb. “This is Olivia,” a British female voice narrates. “Though she has yet to greet the outside world, she has already completed an amazing journey.” Say hello to “Meet Baby Olivia”, an animated video made by an American anti-abortion group that purports to depict humans’ embryonic and fetal development in an alleged effort to convert young people to the anti-abortion cause. The video – or something very close to it – will be required viewing for public school students in two states, with several more potentially on the way.

Last year, North Dakota became the first state in the nation to pass a law mandating that schools screen “Meet Baby Olivia” or a similar video. This year, Tennessee enacted its own “Meet Baby Olivia” law, requiring that “Meet Baby Olivia” or something like it be shown as part of schools’ sex education curriculum. So far in 2024, legislators in at least 10 other states have introduced bills that would require schools to show students “Meet Baby Olivia” or, in language that appears repeatedly throughout the bills, a similar “high-quality, computer-generated rendering or animation” that shows “every stage of human development inside the uterus, noting significant markers in cell growth and organ development for every significant marker of pregnancy until birth”. Including Tennessee’s legislation, bills in at least five of the states cite “Meet Baby Olivia” by name.

Classrooms are a burgeoning front in the post-Roe v Wade abortion wars, as conservative activists have increasingly intertwined their attacks on abortion with their distaste for sex ed that discusses alternatives to premarital abstinence. But medical professionals have accused the anti-abortion group behind “Meet Baby Olivia” of spreading propaganda and even misinformation in order to convert young people to their cause.

Seven of the 12 states where the bills have been introduced or passed ban almost all abortions. So far this year, state legislatures have considered at least 135 sex-ed bills – a record number, according to a CNN analysis. Sixty per cent of them would restrict sex ed in some way. Live Action has denied accusations that any sentence of “Meet Baby Olivia” is inaccurate. “‘Baby Olivia’ isn’t about abortion. It never says the word ‘abortion’,” said Noah Brandt, Live Action’s vice-president of communications. “‘Baby Olivia’ is an important place for states like Tennessee and North Dakota to turn to next, to continue to do work to educate on both biology and life, because they’ve already protected life so now it’s about teaching people when life begins and to respect that.”

A quiet success story

The emergence of the “Meet Baby Olivia” legislation comes at a precarious time for the anti-abortion movement. Since the overturning of Roe, support for abortion rights has mounted even in conservative states. Some Republicans have tried to downplay their opposition to the procedure or even supported efforts to protect it, in a sharp departure from decades of marching in lock step with the anti-abortion movement. But as the anti-abortion movement flounders, the “Meet Baby Olivia” bills are a quiet success story. Abortion opponents overturned Roe by spending years pushing for state-level abortion restrictions; if a restriction was successful in one state, lawmakers in other states would copy-paste its language and introduce their own versions. This strategy gnawed away access to abortion. In the “Meet Baby Olivia” bills, observers see a similar strategy at play – and evidence of mission creep.

“Anti-abortion, anti-sexual and [anti]-reproductive health movements have been focusing on other areas and expanding their scope in terms of what is relevant to them and what they’re working on,” said Kimya Forouzan, principal policy associate of state issues at the Guttmacher Institute, which supports abortion rights. Although Guttmacher tracks restrictions on sexual and reproductive health, Forouzan said that she had never before seen legislation quite like the “Meet Baby Olivia” bills.

[...] In at least two states, West Virginia and Iowa, “Meet Baby Olivia” bills passed one legislative chamber, but both state legislatures have now shuttered for the year. Most of the legislatures that introduced “Meet Baby Olivia” bills have either ended their 2024 sessions or are set to do so in the next few weeks. Compared to the rest of the country, the states that have introduced “Meet Baby Olivia” bills this year – which also include Georgia, Hawaii, Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri, Pennsylvania, and South Carolina – have less comprehensive sex-ed policies, according to Siecus: Sex Ed for Social Change, a decades-old organization that issues best practice guidelines for comprehensive sex ed. (None of the states garnered more than a C grade in the Siecus ranking system.) Most states do not require public school sex ed to be medically accurate, culturally appropriate or unbiased, according to Guttmacher. Only four states say that sex ed cannot promote religion.

The Guardian reports on the disturbing trend of red states pushing new bills that require the showing of the propagandistic "Baby Olivia" video by anti-abortion extremist group Live Action in classrooms as part of the right-wing war on sex ed in schools.

Harry: Try for some remorse. I've seen what you'll be otherwise.

Voldemort: What do you mean you've seen what I'll be?

GUYS IMPORTANT PLEASE VOTE ON THIS POLL IT'S FOR A SCHOOL PROJECT I NEED THE DATA FOR THIS REALLY BADLY PLEASE

Please please please vote, I'm doing a speech on why we need better and mandatory LGBTQ+ rep in sexual education for my leadership class.

reasons for why I'm doing my speech on this: I heard two 6th graders talk about a hypothetical person they would marry, they were asking those eraser things that you flip with yes and no on them and asked if the person they'd marry would be a woman, it landed on yes, and then asking if they'd be trans, when the eraser landed on yes, they began referring to them as an 'it' and said: "oh, so it's just a man then."

By grade 6 you should know that that's not true?? Or okay to say out loud??? my school likes to say it's diverse and accepting, but I've seen people glare at the GSA slides in the morning announcements, I've seen kids stop being friends with someone because they were gay, I've seen people being deadnamed, people being outed, people using 'gay' as an insult, and I really do wonder where they got the notion that they were accepting from. I mean, it could be worse, but it SHOULD be better.

so yeah anyway please vote in my poll it'd make me sososososo happy, (only if you want, but I am urging you to) please!!!

#poll #cw transphobes #i guess #lgbtq #lgbtq community #lgbtqia #lgbt representation #lgbtq issues #please vote #please reblog #school curriculum #long post
