I am so frustrated.

I cannot boycott the NFL...cause I do not even watch them on TV. OK, confession I would watch the Super Bowl if the Falcons or the Titans were there because I have lived in those two states.

My husband and I have decided that as long as Trump holds his current job, we will not stand for the anther, sing the anthem or say the pledge. Now, I really cannot remember the last time I said the pledge. It was after elementary school but not sure when.

Wrapping himself in the flag and condoning racism, because that's how he started it and now it's spreading.

I tell my students it is their choice but if they don't stand, they sit quietly and respectfully which they do. It is the ones that stand and try to out do each other that is the problem I had this year. They would each try to be the loudest or the fastest. To me that is more disrespectful than the students who sit quietly until it is over.

But I absolutely support the entire Bend The Knee, Black Lives Matter, #MeToo, etc., Constitutional rights actions that Deplorables and Trump would throw away just because they Hate us.

Trump is anti American in his actions and his beliefs. HE IS THE FUCKING TRAITOR TO OUR COUNTRY!
