D*MN.
I teach public school in a small southern town. I taught in a Catholic school in the same town for 12 years. One day one of my 6th grade girls was called to the office. Her sister who was in high school was stabbed with a penknife at her locker. It punctured her heart & she died. It was over a boy. I remember when Elisa came back to school she was broken. She had idolized her sister.
After I started at the public school my liberalism started breaking apart.
