Batman and it’s gay cocreator

School officials in Metro Atlanta's Forsyth County canceled two talks by a children's book author last week after he used the word “gay” in a presentation to elementary school students about the history of the superhero character Batman.

The great Otis Redding was born on this day September 9, 1941. In 1967, he performed with many other acts in a momentous music festival that would shape future music festivals. It was stated by many, that his amazing performance at the festival had the loudest crowd reaction by far. Sadly, only a few months later he would die in a plane crash.

Can you guess where this music festival took place?

Week one done. I dunno, was a busier week than I expected and the 9-3 is a bit challenging of a time frame but have to figure it out.

Decided to wait till next week to ask but I figured this would have said “runner” based on my experience anyway #ottawa #education

A shot of light in the dark:

The abhorrent #education policy that forces teachers to out their LGBTQ2SIA+ kids in #Ontario, #Saskatchewan, #NewBrunswick, and #Manitoba is being challenged in #Regina and the first hearing is September 19th @ 10am, this is the fastest I have ever witnessed the courts move. Technically speaking the ruling isn’t binding but it is persuasive), the policy is blatantly unconstitutional & as soon as it falls in one province, it should fall in others. #Canada #LGBTQ

Unsure where he gets his pizzazz from but Ren yelled “I’m going to my big school” to everyone he saw on his way to JK this morning… #ottawa #ottbike #education

Coming across an #ontario Reddit thread where students are posting about the temperatures in their classrooms the past two days. JK and grade 1-2 teachers taking about +35°C temps in their classrooms…

My first thought is, I hate the nternet, but that doesn’t change the fact that this shit is happening. Existing in political systems that aren’t meant to “care” about people at fucking all, is wonderful #education #cdnpoli #onpoli
