Looked into it, and itās real. Not only that, but if you look at his twitter account, he made some more awesome tweets that day that make me really happy to be a Catholic. Iāll include screenshots and text versions of them below.
It saddens me that a #trans student cannot choose what bathrooms to use. A basic need. Itās an affront to their dignity as human beings.
And who is harmed by a #trans student using a bathroom? Iāve seen women using menās rooms when the ladiesā rooms were full. Who is harmed?
As usual, the one who is made to suffer indignities is the one on the margins, the one seen as āother,ā the one seen as āthem.ā
But for Jesus, there is no āother.ā There is no āthem.ā Ā There is only āus.ā So we must be about openness, acceptance and inclusion. #transĀ
Who should stand with the marginalized, the mocked, the bullied, the confused, the outcast, the minority? The Christian should. #trans
Who should stand with the marginalized, the mocked, the bullied, the outcast, the confused, the hurt? Who should stand with the one seen as ādifferent,ā the one seen as āother,ā the one seen as āthemā? Who should stand with people who often stand alone? The Christian should. Because Jesus did.
My class 10/10 lost the plot today. I donāt even know where to start or how to explain to their parents that I think theyāve all turned into tiny little rebels.
9:10 – we are studying a report about Chernobyl in guided reading. Several are looking at me gone out when I explain that nuclear power can be dangerous. āSo why use it?ā one asks. Why indeed.
9:12 – we are now discussing renewable energy. Several more express outrage and ask why the country doesnāt have to use renewable energy. Several more state that we should avoid pollution because it kills polar bears and stuff right, Miss?
9:13 – I mention that itās a complicated issue because of different viewpoints, and that certain people, say Drumpf, donāt believe in climate change.
9:14 – chaos.
9:15 – small child suggests someone murder Drumpf. I say that murder is both bad and illegal.
9:16 – the class have learned the word impeach and are shouting IMPEACH TRUMP IMPEACH TRUMP IMPEACH TRUMP while banging on the tables.
9:17 – headteacher comes in to see what is going on. Small child tells him quite angrily that SOME PEOPLE JUST DECIDE TO NOT BELIEVE IN SCIENCE WHICH YOU CANāT DO BECAUSE ITāS SCIENCE. He backs out of the room quite quickly.
9:25 -I have abandoned plans for grammar and the children are now writing persuasive pieces about Why We Should Use Renewable Energy.
The saga continued after lunch when we continued our WW2 topic work, learning about the holocaust.
1:35 – we are discussing Kristalnacht. The class are collectively outraged and appalled. One is in tears.
1:40 – āMiss, I fucking hate Hitler.ā thatās okay, but please express your hatred of fascism without the F word or Iāll have to ring your Mum again.
2:00 – small child who suggested murder earlier says āisnāt this exactly what Drumpf tried to do to the Muslims?ā Thereās a heady mix of realisation and outrage in the room.
2:13 – āRacism makes no senseā says a child, looking quite confused.
2:33 – āHitler would have killed me because Iāve got cerebral palsy, right?ā says a boy. He is tackle-hugged by a girl from across the table. I have to pretend Iām not crying.
2:34 – The rest of his table have made a pact to never let anyone hurt him. I am still pretending to be super chill. I am obviously failing as another child offers me a hug.
2:37 – I ask the children to look at nine examples of things the nazis did against Jewish people, and then arrange them in a diamond with what they consider the worst at the top.
2:38 – Mutiny. They all collectively decide to arrange all nine cards in a line and say that theyāre all awful things so they all go at the top.
2:39 – I tell them if they kind find a way to fit a line of all nine in their books then fair enough. Smart child suggests a circle. Everyone cheers. We have a break, and they go outside raging about Hitler, Drumpf, racism, prejudice and injustice in general. I am handed a very strong tea by my TA who congratulates me on my gang of angry eleven year olds.
Faith in humanity both challenged and restored. Bring on tomorrow.
Deleting all comments because only in this site you will find people throwing shit at a 17 year old boy who has voluntarily fed 80’000 people by starting his own business because he has a very particular idea lf masculinity which happens to threat only people with paper feelings.
His business has a line of āSheCansā with names like āUnstoppableā, āAwesomeā, āFearlessā and āBeautifulā. Anyone who is bitter about this kidās business needs to step back and reevaluate their life.
I had a dream in which I doubted all my artistic abilities and I sat in front of my sketches and almost cried, but then euclase showed up and said that all kind of art is amazing and with enough practice I will be able to achieve any goal I want. All I have to do is to keep going and never give up.
It was literally one of the most positive dreams I had, ever.
