Moving on, this story, Jesus Christ, what an amazing story.
I can't believe this is real.
I can't believe this is real.
It's like something that we imagined into existence, or at least Facebook did.
And this is, yeah, Florida to let veterans and their spouses teach without bachelor's degrees.
There is a really bad teacher shortage in Florida right now.
Who knows why?
There's probably so many reasons and we couldn't begin to puzzle them out.
Ron DeSantis' solution is to loosen restrictions on teaching credentials just for veterans and also their spouses.
Amazing.
This is like... The spouses is crazy.
They're both crazy.
The spouses thing is nuts.
Like, this is their fucking spouses.
This like makes it official that Florida is the Facebook state.
They made you will address me by my husband's rank into state legislation.
It is nuts.
I mean, I okay not to knock teachers because teachers are getting a lot of You know, a lot of shit, a lot of union busters are really going after the teachers hard and right-wing media.
No, teachers are bad.
They make you do homework.
They make you do a lot of other kinds of work.
They're no good.
Pull up your pants.
Yeah, but okay.
That being said, I lived in a really conservative area and I was taught by some amazingly dumb people.
Like my AP bio teacher said that uh sperm could actually swim through little holes in condoms and that the uh yeah i mean it was just like this abstinence only dumb ass bullshit
and like to imagine people who are like like she she made it through college and still was teaching us that stuff like these people that are just not even getting any sort of real scientific education and their whole thing is just from like florida public It seems really bad.
Well, maybe it's more like, you know, I, I, you, what you're saying is totally valid and everybody kind of has their own like little ideology that maybe overrides the fact that the, I don't know, logic centers of their brain or whatever.
But maybe if you lessen the restrictions on education and credentials and stuff, you'll get somebody with so many ideologies that are batshit insane that it creates that Three Stooges Syndrome, where they can't all get out of the brain at once.
They kind of like jam into each other.
And then you do only get, you know, the three R's in the classroom.
Yeah.
Reading, writing, arithmetic.
Yeah.
Yeah, I think it's gonna be cool.
I actually, I'm picturing it now, you know, just like a hardened Navy SEAL, you know, entering the classroom, you know, and it's just like, oh, teacher's got a little hungover today, so we're gonna watch a movie called Unleashed with Jet Li.
It's about an alpha male who's been conditioned to suppress his natural masculine tendency towards violence.
Suppress it so thoroughly that he's unable to defend himself or even take control of his own life.
He's actually forced to wear a collar by this little gremlin named Bob Hoskins.
