Sick days aren't for the benefit of the person who's sick, you ignorant Tennessee fucks; they're for stopping them from getting everybody else sick too. Excused absences from school and sick leave from work exist because not having them makes makes the attendance even worse in the long run!
I wonder if this is partly a reaction to COVID.
How to make everyone sick in one easy step.
More broadly, there's a cultural problem where coming to school/work/etc... with a contagious disease is seen as virtuous toughness instead of immoral endangerment. I thought the coronavirus pandemic would change this attitude, but evidently not.
This is how to breed a new pandemic in one easy step. Schools are already enormous vectors for diseases.
It's in a very red area. They probably didn't believe it was real, while simultaneously injecting bleach and horse dewormer to cure themselves.
I have covid. Like right now. My friend was begging me to come out to a planned dinner with a group of friends and that it'd be fine.
The place they ate at is a fucking buffet. I need new friends.
So many levels of fucked up in this. Holy shit.
Lawrence county sits up against Giles county. Which has Pulaski in it. Basically a 15 minute drive.
Pulaski is where the KKK was founded.
I found myself living in Maury county these last few years, so it's been interesting to see the legislation that passes around here.
Man I can kind of almost read that map. Could you make it a little bit blurrier?
No problem fam
Perfection
I like how he tilt-shifted it instead of blurring it uniformly. He's got some style.
school to prison pipeland to be exact, thats probably what they are aiming for.
Next year's headline: Tennessee teacher sick days at highest rate in country. District accuses them of illegal strike action.
forced to work in small classrooms with sniffling sick kids legally required to attend would put some teachers' illnesses under workers' comp?
This just in, Tennessee School Board doubles down on stereotypes, removes minimum high school education requirement for school board members.
Edit: autocorrect fail
WTF…..
I hope some parents sus the fuck out that board. Fuck that school district.
You must be conditioned to work and give 100% at all times, non stop, so that your billionaire leaders can make more money!
I couldn't make it to school yesterday because I had truancy court.
I thought great, which school requires a doctor's note for being sick anyways. Oh my have I been wrong apparently.
