These 19 states are cracking down on fake service dogs
There is something people with fake service animals seem to not consider: while some people with autism rely on emotional support dogs (NOT the same as service dogs), others with autism (like my son) have an overwhelming fear of dogs. So while some people let their dogs run off-leash right past the signs at the beach prohibiting this behavior, my son has to cower behind me for safety. Legitimate service dogs are properly trained and zero threat to other people or animals. They’re not carried in purses or pushed in little strollers. They are always on leash and do not bark. Any other dog posing as a service animal is potential danger to real service dogs and to my son and people like him.

Why are female doctors introduced by first name while men are called ‘Doctor’?
(These are not my thoughts or words. I copied and pasted.) Today my timeline is full of decent men asking, "How can I help?" I'm going to take this question as sincere, and give a few suggestions. In response to those who are asking, yes, you can share this, thanks for being interested in doing so. Please credit me, and if you end up being paid to present my work, I welcome fair contributions via PayPal. stamperoo@gmail.com 🙂 Here are some concrete ways men can help: 1. Practice these phrases: "That's not cool" and "That's a shitty thing to say". Say them to other men who are saying disrespectful things to or about women. 2. Follow some feminist writers on social media. Sometimes what they write may seem "exhausting" or "too angry". Put aside that discomfort because that feeling is your male privilege allowing you to disengage from an important conversation that womxn don't get to disengage from. Here are some accounts I like- but there are lots. Follow a few. http://www.twitter.com/ijeomaoluo http://www.twitter.com/manwhohasitall http://www.twitter.com/FeministaJones 3. Boost female voices. When there's an issue and you're going to share an article about it- especially if it's a gender issue- take a minute and try to find one written by a woman (same goes for other marginalized groups- seek articles about race written by IBPOC, seek articles about disability by disabled writers, etc. "Nothing about us, without us"). 4. Boost what women say at work. Listen for men dismissing women's contributions and make a habit of listening and saying things like "Hey Zahra has a point". 5. Be mindful of how you introduce women- particularly at work functions. Role-model extra respect into your introductions. So often you hear men being introduced with job titles and accolades, and women introduced as "the lovely" or "the beautiful". I guarantee that no matter how good she looks, she'd rather be introduced by her job title and accomplishments. Relevant Washington Post article: "At conferences, male doctors are introduced as "Doctor Whoever" 72% of the time; female doctors are introduced using the word "Doctor" only 49% of the time." http://wapo.st/2kSWlba Doing this subtly tells the listener that the women's qualifications are lesser-than. Go out of your way to correct this by introducing women (and others from marginalized groups- racialized, disabled, young-looking, whatever) using their full job titles and accolades. 6. At work or out in the world, don't call women cutesy names like "honey, baby, darling, kiddo, young lady, girl, or dear". This is a subtle way of putting them down, elevating your own status over them as a man who is choosing to vote them as attractive, and reminding them and all present that they're just cute little ladies that nobody should listen to. Make a special effort to speak to women using the kind of person-to-person respectful address you use when speaking with male colleagues. Hint: Use their name. If you slip up and call your colleague "young lady" or some other bullshit like that, it's cool to say something about it, like "I'm sorry I called you that- it's disrespectful." 7. Seek enthusiastic consent in your sexual encounters. If you're having sexy time and the other person stops reciprocating, gets quiet, seems tense or stiff, avoids making eye contact, pauses, or otherwise slows the tempo of the encounter, then you should.... STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING. Reframe how you think of consent. You're not supposed to just "go for it" until someone yells NO and that's when you stop. That's old-fashioned and gross. And she might not be able to explicitly say no, because she has very likely been assaulted before and she might freeze when stressed- that's a side effect of all this "me too". People shouldn't have to explicitly say no. Instead, slow down. At every step, listen with your ears (or ask with your words) for the word "yes", and then you can escalate the encounter together. Seek explicit and enthusiastic and active consent before you proceed. Proceed together. And constantly observe the other person's body language for the hesitations that mean "no". If this means you have to cut down on alcohol or substances to stay present and have self-control, please do that. 8. Don't use gendered or misogynist insults. Bitch, cunt, slut, pussy, f*g, girly, sissy, cuck, etc. Use insults that work on everyone rather than insults that specifically target the feminine as weak, lesser, and undesirable. "Asshole" is a nice multipurpose choice- we all have one. 9. If there are little boys, teen boys, and young men in your life, role-model that the feminine is not less-than. Challenge them on their dismissive ideas around what counts as "girl stuff". Buy them a doll. Paint your nails together. Show up wearing pink. Do something feminine in a way that embraces the feminine as a valid way of being, not in a way that mocks femininity. Buy them books and watch TV and movies that prominently feature female characters. Verbally challenge their stereotypes about what men do and how women are lesser. Seeing women as people starts in infancy. 10. Avoid telling little girls they're pretty and cute or commenting on their hairstyle or clothing. I know, little girls often wear fun stuff and it's easy to comment on. But it tells her, and the little boys nearby, that girls should be valued first and foremost for their looks. Instead, try things like "What kind of toy is that? That looks fun, what is it? Are you reading any good books? What's your favourite subject in school? What kind of things do you like to do? Do you have a favourite animal? May I ask your advice, should I purchase the apples or the grapes?" There are so many things to talk about. 11. When a woman is walking alone and you end up walking behind her- especially in dark or secluded areas- please slow down to increase the distance between you, or, better yet, cross the street. Literally go out of your way to help her feel that you're not following her. 12. Teach your elders to do better. Pervy Grandpa and Racist Grandma might seem harmless at Xmas dinner but as their health declines, they will largely end up being cared for by women and POC who don't deserve dehumanizing treatment. Call it out. You can teach old dogs* new tricks, and you should definitely try. (Someone below pointed out that this metaphor, equating the elderly to dogs, is disrespectful. I agree with them. I'm not deleting it because hiding mistakes is creepy. I'm sorry I spoke disrespectfully about elderly people- that's a proverb that I'll quit using.) 13. Don't argue so much in conversations around types of oppression that you don't personally experience. Keep an eye open for our culture's gross habit of putting the onus on the oppressed persons to dredge up their pain for inspection (only for us to then dismiss it as "just one instance which they probably either caused or misinterpreted anyway"). Instead, try this- if you don't believe something is an issue, use the Googles. Find, say, three articles *written by people in that demographic*, and read them. Look for patterns in their analyses. You'll find that these ideas aren't weird militant fringe notions- oppression is a widely-accepted and statistically-supported phenomenon and a lot of insightful people are talking about it. Avoid the hot takes and go to the source- the people who experience the issue firsthand. 14. If you feel uncomfortable during conversations about sexism (or racism, or ableism, or cultural appropriation, or whatever- because all these systems are related, google "kyriarchy" to learn more), the only correct response is to be quiet and listen and try to focus on the topic at hand rather than centre your own feelings. It's hard. It's worthwhile. Thanks for trying to be decent men. We see you.

To the parents of the kids who don’t struggle in school …
Except for the different diagnoses, I could have been the Mom who wrote this. We don't get perfect report cards or honor rolls or first place trophies. We get the kid who can school any adult on today's political situation and who can name all 100 US Senators by state. It would help if we knew no one valued the former over the latter and my kid could always feel like society values what he brings.

[Video] New 'Procter & Gamble' Ad Infuriates Racist America, Bigots Forced To Take A Look In The Mirror
To all the white people who have a problem with this ad (and anyone, really): you should be more offended at the idea that an entire racial group of Americans even has to HAVE these talks with their children than you are at feeling convicted or guilty by a two-minute video. It's not racist. Our society is. Against people of color, not you. Our educational, justice, real estate, and employment systems are racist. White people benefit from that racism. That's how racism works. You're not the victims. WE white people are not the victims. Get over yourself and start working to change society.

If anyone is still left among my Facebook friends who might take offense to this, please just read it all the way through. Jesus called us to love. Period. Unconditionally, and especially when it feels hardest to do so.

We are known the world over for being the ugly Americans who demand that people be able to speak English, even when we visit them in their countries, because many people only take foreign languages classes up to the point they've been required to, consider them a joke, and don't try very hard to learn another language. Meanwhile, in much of the rest of the world, people learn their native language, plus English, and often more languages. Partly because a lot of international business and diplomacy requires a knowledge of English. Partly because many of them hope to come here to live and work. But we Americans often don't make the slightest effort to learn the language of a place we may visit. We just expect the world to cater to us. No wonder they see us as "ugly Americans."

AP Classes Are a Scam
Several of my colleagues who teach AP courses are friends with me here on Facebook. I'd love to hear what they think about this writer's assertions. I've never taught an AP course nor experienced it as a student or parent, so I only have my own limited experiences to draw from.

Fight Fake news. Know who is reputable.
This is excellent. Please see if the "news" you read and share is in a good central spot on this diagram. The Onion, and many similar sites, are pure satire. If you're screaming "Fake News!" at those, you should chill out and study the practice of satire and understand why it exists. See also: Andy Borowitz

The Hill
Just ONE example, and the example I feel most qualified to comment on, as this is my field of study and my profession of nearly 25 years. She has no experience with the public education system she would be put in charge of, which she plans to decimate and make further polarized on socioeconomic lines anyway. She doesn't know the difference between proficiency and growth. Proficiency is "can they do it to THIS level?" whatever THIS is. So if a learner is high above that level, no one will care or help that learner go farther. And if a learner can't meet that level, due to factors beyond their control, they get written off as unsalvageable, regardless of how much learning and progress they might have made in a school year or other period of time. Senator Franken's focus, and I agree with him, is on growth. How much has the learner grown from where they started this school year? How can we maximize that growth and help the learner continue to grow once they've left our class/school/district to be able to make a positive impact on society? When we only focus on proficiency, we clearly state that we only care about making a certain grade or passing a certain test, and not on learning that is meaningful and valuable. We didn't go into education to measure proficiency. We went into education because we love kids and want to help them grow and meet their fullest potential.

Don’t Be A Jerk About Food Allergies. It’s Literally Life Or Death For Some Children.
PREACH. We have a student whose case is among the most allergic in the world, known to medical science. (Her allergy is to peanuts.) I've taught her in my class, and she is wonderful. It's really not that hard to limit things here and there to avoid killing someone.
