What discussion? There is no discussion here. Just fascists trying to create hate towards trans people with propaganda pieces. A climate that they have cultivated for the last 5 or so years heavily....

You think I should be sitting down and having a "discussion" with fucking Nazis who want to just murder minorities?

You don't seem to quite grasp how a "discussion" with a Nazi works. I'm a traditional person, I believe we should handle Nazis like Nazis.

Again, we fought a war against this type of shit. Their ideology needs to be stamped out from the face of this earth and never allowed to fester and destroy a society again.

That's why these fucking fascists are traitors. They are randomly trying to create more hate towards another minority group. Hate towards their fellow Americans just living their lives. It should be illegal, it should be punished.

DISCUSSION? No, there is no discussion about that. There is just condemnation for what they are trying to do.

Awww man my guy you did so good on the first one and then resorted to sarcasm for the second comeback. Sorry if we’re exhausting your mental capacity to retort after only a couple exchanges!

And you misconstrue. I am far from noble. I’m just an asshole who only cares about myself and if someone does something that doesn’t affect me I couldn’t give fewer shits. Still I hope you can find peace my friend. Life’s hard when you live so bitterly 🖤

Let's not forget the actual issue is not about the line for what a child can know about their teachers.

The real issue is this is a matter that the school should have taken care of (as they do with tens of thousands of other instances of similar or worse issues regularly) without it becoming some sort of propaganda piece for traitorous republicans.

>The issue presented here is not a kid knowing a name and looking for the facebook page

No, that is EXACTLY THE ISSUE. The teacher shared her handle on a social media site (a handle is your internet name, how people find you).

>knowing the contents of their own page

The content? That they are openly transgender? No, I don't accept the fucking fascists line of thinking that transgender people are "inappropriate for children".

This is what the fucks tried to claim about gay relationships also for the last 40+ years. That seeing a man and man together was "too adult for children". Fuck them and their fascist rhetoric trying to label people existing and engaging in normal behaviour as "inappropriate".

>Way to turn my comment on its head.

It isn't. It is actually where your line of thinking goes (or more accurately, has brought us).

This has actually happened and teachers have been fired for it.

That is where this mentality of "teachers must be pure christians" leads us... to an insane society of misguided "protecting the children" panic.

You remind me of that woman who was yelling into the sky after trump was elected. You seem more interested in demonstrating how right you are than any sort of discussion. So I’ll just say - if I told you I was feeling weird today and decided to cut off my penis I imagine most people would be concerned. You can figure out the rest, haha. It’s so weird you people leave cities and expect everyone to agree with you the same way.

>Even just kids knowing a teachers name and finding their facebook page where they posted going to a club is "inappropriate".

Way to turn my comment on its head.

The issue presented here is not a kid knowing a name and looking for the facebook page; rather, it is (alleged) that the teacher, knowing the contents of their own page, encouraged the students to go visit the page. That is what is inappropriate sharing.

They're just another tourist attraction. Honestly, we don't find them that interesting. You can't go inside. A handful of them might get occasionally opened up for visitors maybe one day every five years or so. Some of them have nice grounds where you can have a picnic, look at the water, and take a picture of the lighthouse, all enjoyable ways to spend a summer afternoon. Others are at the end of breakwaters that you can walk out on. If it's a foggy day, you might hear a foghorn. That's about all the nuance I have to offer.

There isn't anything special about them we could tell you that you can't just google for yourself. There used to be lighthouse fan organizations, kind of like antique auto clubs so that might be a place to start. If you search this sub, you'll find nice pictures other people have taken of them.

If you take some time to get an idea of what area you want to visit or which lighthouses look interesting to you, and you still have questions about them, maybe try again. Specific questions get better answers than general ones. Maybe pick two you like the looks of and ask which is better to visit with little kids for example.

If I asked /georgia what's the deal with the peaches, I wouldn't expect to get much useful info.

>You talking like that, ironically, probably causes more of them to happen

Typically the extremist shootings are BY FAR by right wingers going to gay clubs or black churches or jewish buildings. That's why your type of people are so dangerous to society.... because you see minorities existing as some sort of threat.

And then push endless propaganda to try and create more and more hostile environments (complete with countless murders) until you can ramp up government action (like they are doing across the country with various anti-trans bills right now).

It's the definition of fascism. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT THE NAZI DID WITH GAY PEOPLE. The "gay people are a threat to your children" IS EXACTLY WHAT THE NAZI DID.

.... you understand we fought a war against Nazis right? And then after the war, we killed the ones who lead the hate campaign and murder campaigns right?

Traitors in this country who keep creating hate towards minorities have no sympathy from me. I think they should be treated as traitors to the country for what they do.

Lol honestly good comeback. Still I think that’s the big difference between people like you and me. If someone told me that I wouldn’t even give it a second thought. What they do with themselves holds zero influence over my own life. I only spend time thinking about things that impact me directly.

It appears to be using census data as aggregated by Wikipedia. At a glance that includes Portland, Lewiston, Bangor, as well as a number of "urban clusters" (I think I saw kennebunk and brunswick mentioned).

A lot of the places mentioned are not what I would consider urban(Berwick), but seem to be included due to their proximity to an urban area.

>The disturbing nature I see regardless of sexual identity is when teachers have their personal lives involved with students that fall outside the window of appropriate and professional topics.

I'm sorry but I disagree. Just because something is personal does not make it inappropriate.

There is a line of course, but teachers should connect with their students as community members, not cold and harsh authority figures. That was that kind of schooling we had in the 18th and early 19th century-- cruel headmasters and unsympathetic teachers and nuns slapping everyone's wrists. Not an ideal learning environment.

Should we now require all teachers to avoid disclosing their relationship status? Keep their families a secret? Hide their disabilities, never speak of their personal hobbies, never ever *ever" bring up what they did over the weekend?

Or is it only "inappropriate" when gay teachers do it?
