My proudest moment as an activist was at the People's Climate March. My son, who was 7 at the time stood up with a chant sheet and got the ENTIRE crowd to follow his lead in the chants. I have never been more inspired as a parent as I was to hear my baby yelling. BOMB TRAINS?!?! and a hundred people responding to him. INSANE!!!! 2
Why Do I Do What I Do? As an activist, i get that question... A LOT! Over time my answer has gotten shorter and simpler... but no less true. I fight for my planet at the risk of my life and freedom because someone has to. Nothing changes if no one stands up for Mother Earth. We may be different colors, we may have different spiritual paths and lifestyles... but one thing we ALL need to remember is that we are ALL HUMAN BEINGS and without Mother Earth... we do not exist. 1

| Are Elementary Schools For Real These Days??? Wednesday. 3.2.16 10:41 pm mood: irked to the max.... Another thrilling day.... I went to my son's school today to talk to the principal about opting him out of the Common Core SBAC tests today.. and boy did I get the guilt trip of a lifetime. It does NOT change my mind in the least. Standardized testing is bullshit.... especially for 3rd grade students. A student doesn't need that kind of pressure until high school. I was asked to schedule a meeting with the principal and the counselor to further discuss this matter and I intend to go into this meeting fully armed with my knowledge and blow this guys theories out of the water. It's not practice for later and since (according to the principal himself) it's not the only way of assessing students progress... What precisely IS the point?? They can sacrifice my student if they'd like to.. but I'm more interested in him getting a decent education than making sure he meets an excessively ridiculous standard. Rate this entry! 0 Comments.
