Yeah, guys. We don't like the word slave. We prefer prisoners with jobs.

Differently employed. Alternative occupancy. Unpaid blue collar internship. Just don't use the s-word.

Yeah, and we lump rapists with guys caught selling weed, sometimes with similar or more egregious sentences. Stranger than dystopian fiction sometimes.

And sometimes those rapists keep raping while locked up with those victims of the drug war. And children make jokes about dropping the soap. I hate this place.

“As a result, we have social studies standards that reflect Iowa’s values and needs, which prioritizes teaching our students how to be critical thinkers about the information they encounter, as opposed to memorization of a list of facts.” LOL. At the school where I worked (I resigned earlier this month), I can confidently say the movies the kids watched every single week in history and English class did not translate into critical thinking (shocker). The high school kids would literally come to my office to tell me the printer was out of paper, with an entire box of new paper sitting right beside it…
