"Someone’s grandma is throwing their shoe at Kellyanne’s head as we speak. She’s the reason for plastic over furniture. She is the reason why none of us are allowed to sit in the sitting room."

She voted for Trump. Now she fears she might lose the Obamacare plan that saved her life
People voted for him, believing him to be a liar and hoping his promises were actually lies. That, on top of everything else he has said and done, make this ridiculously perplexing. I feel bad for her situation, but I also feel that she and voters like her have brought this on themselves, and they need to unite with his opposition to do our best to ultimately fix the MANY ways he's trying to destroy America and Americans.

Stop Using Women And Girls To Justify Transphobia
I've actually used a public ladies' room at the same time as a transgender woman, and you know what happened??? We both peed. I know, because I totally heard her peeing while I was also peeing. We also both washed our hands. And dried them. Thank God I made it out alive.

Teaching Computer Science Without Computers
"But it’s also a manageable challenge in Finland because teachers there have more autonomy than American teachers when it comes to how and what they teach, and they aren’t constantly evaluated by how their students score on standardized tests." (And yet they still blow us away on the PISA every year!)

8 Things Kids Need to Do By Themselves Before They’re 13
Being an educator, I would argue that while this is right for many kids, some of these are unrealistic at 13 when autism or other factors come into play. Many of us parents in such cases have been working on these things with our kids for YEARS and simply hope they can do them all independently by 18.

Perspective | My 7-year-old daughter Henry is transgender. She’d change Trump’s mind.
"It’s almost impossible to deny a person’s humanity after you’ve shared a cup of coffee with them. Most people in our lives, people all across the political spectrum, had never met a trans person before they met Henry. But after they spend a little time with her, learn a little more about her, not a single one would insist she use the boys’ bathroom."

Turns out the Frog and Toad may have been gay. And that's cool. Because modeling a positive, loving friendship is a good thing. (As usual, don't read the comments. Because Internet.)

What Americans Keep Ignoring About Finland's School Success
"As for accountability of teachers and administrators, Sahlberg shrugs. "There's no word for accountability in Finnish," he later told an audience at the Teachers College of Columbia University. "Accountability is something that is left when responsibility has been subtracted."

It Seems to Me: What young women may not know
This is a really great summary of the history behind why we need to march, to stand up, to do whatever it takes so that we don't wind back the clocks to times when we couldn't do even the simplest of things we take for granted now as women in America.

These sorts of things really do happen daily to regular people like you and me -- who just also happen to have brown skin -- on both sides of the Atlantic. We need to start standing up to this and making it clear that it's not acceptable.
