oh, her? she's nobody's hero. she's just a teacher. she couldn't do. isn't that how the saying goes? to be honest, i don't like her. she's got too many opinions. and is indoctrinating our children. she forces kids to read banned books. and even asks them to read on their own. did you hear she has a pride flag up on her wall? her political views have no god-damned business being in the classroom. she had the audacity to give my girl an F on an essay that she worked really hard on. she wrote my kid up, because according to her, he said something racist. my kid would never do anything like that. he doesn't have a racist bone in his body. so instead of talking to her about it, i went straight to the school board to get her fired. she no longer works for the school district, thanks to me. she told her students that she won't answer emails before or after school. she complains too much on social media about how hard her job is. she's the prime example of why teacher ends with a her instead of a him. Oh, but her? She's a hero. Because she has the guts to bring a gun into her classroom. Oh, but her? She's a hero. I couldn't stop crying when I heard she sacrificed herself to save those kids from that school shooter. What a tragedy. I can't believe this keeps happening. Oh, her or hero? A teacher can't be both. She's always the villain unless she has a gun or gets shot by one.

Losing a Former Student to Gun Violence
Posted at 6:15 pm , on June 1, 2018
Yesterday morning, a former student of mine was murdered.
He was found in his car with multiple gunshot wounds.
He was only 25.
He had just completed his first year of teaching middle school and will not experience his first summer off as a teacher.
He is Baton Rouge’s forty-second murder victim this year and will never see his forty-second year.
Because he’s now a statistic, a victim of gun violence.

I am angry. I am grappling for words. I am horrified.
But I’m not trying to make this post about me.
This post is about you.
You who allow gun violence to continue because your emotions about guns override fact and logic.
You who allow gun violence to continue because the gun lobby lines your pocket.
You who allow gun violence to continue while mass shootings are commonplace.
You who allow gun violence to continue because you’re entitled.
Hey, you, when is enough enough?
R.I.P Brent Batiste. You were smart, sweet, and kind. And a joy to teach.
