Is the quote “The moment of human ...” as written on your screen. It should be “This moment...” I hate it when educational stuff isn't proof read. It used to really mess up my one child.

“So dad - what is the one moment of human exploration?”

“Huh?”

“Look at this - so what one moment is it?”

“Oh - that's wrong, it should read “this moment”.”

“No - otherwise they would have written that. I think I'm supposed to figure out what the greatest moment of human exploration is. I was going to write about Columbus, but you said the Vikings discovered America first, but maybe I'll write about penicillin - that was a huge discovery. Or maybe exploring the ocean. They say that 80% of the ocean still isn't explored - so the one moment could still be ahead of us in the ocean!”

BTW - I think it was the astronauts on the gray rocky desolate moon with photos of the blue earth and white clouds showed just how special the Earth is. And it was used be the greenies and the peace freaks. Although I am one conservative that is glad for some of the early work done by the environmentalists to get some controls in place and clean up things. Everything in moderation. (So calling CO2 a “pollutant” would not be in the “moderation” list. But neither is using our rivers as one’s personal chemical disposal unit.)

In this context, the article “the” is semantically equivalent to “this.” One could dispute whether this usage is appropriate to ESL lessons.

One would expect things to be pretty rough in Harlem. It is not a place to be snowflaking so to speak. This person would have found more tolerance in a supposedly conservative milieu assuming “ze” didn’t fall apart at the answers to “zis” comments about gender!

“But more than anything else I like good conversations about gender.”

If my child come home after having a “good conversation about gender” one of their teachers (soon to be former) will be missing some teeth the next day.

When "she" walked down the halls, clusters of students would shout at "her", referring to "her" as mister. In stairwells, students would yell that "her" voice sounded like a man.

Naturam expellas furca, tamen usqe recurret.

Sigh.

Allow me to put this through the reality machine:

----------------------

NEW YORK ― Bahar Akyurtlu had been teaching for about four months at a high school in Harlem before several students began bullying HIM.

When HE walked down the halls, clusters of students would shout at HIM, referring to HIM as “mister.”

In stairwells, students would yell that HIS voice sounded like a man.

The harassment didn’t surprise HIM, even if it stung, cutting to the core of HIS identity.

Sadly, HE sees it as one of the occupational hazards of being [mentally ill], HE said.

----------------------

No! It's not everyone else. It's you! You are mentally ill. You are not okay. You need help. But instead you are getting none. You are being told that, yes, you are in fact Napoleon Bonaparte and you should dress as such in public. And anyone who has a problem with that is a bigot.

Thank you democrats for giving us this perversity. My wife and I homeschooled our 8 kids and we made a lot of mistakes. But I’m still glad we didn’t take part in public education.

A twisted person needs help but they do not need to be in a class room

I am fortunate that I get to choose my own texts and supplementary materials and make up my own lessons.

In animals, consuming things such as plastics increase homosexuality. Water from plastic containers absorb that.
