On their Facebook page, they said “no thanks” in the best possible way.
“This is a great example of how quickly society jumps to conclusions about people and how inaccurate they can be. As educators we have to be really careful not to do the same thing in our classrooms by pegging kids with our own assumptions,” a teacher said on his blog.
Your move, Outrage Nation.
