Considering the pitiful news/journalist we see everyday, I wondered what goes on in these classes now. Are they teaching entertainment only journalism?

OMG! ...Fingernails dragging across a black board. OMG! You are so right. I once had to harness everything in me not to slap this ignit guy who kept referring to my friend as he, when she was standing right there.

I feel like society failed this child. We have got to do better, especially accepting and most of all protecting these kids in schools. <BR/>It's so important to see Transwomen and Transmen living out proud. Thanks Monica, I have no doubt that you show kids that there are other options. Thanks to my friend Alexandra, a true survivor and a role model. <BR/>RIP Ebony.Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14802989264619041023noreply@blogger.com
