When I decided to start this blog nearly a decade ago, I
remember thinking it would be a place where I could share my conservative
views. It hasn’t really worked out the
way I thought it would. I haven’t let
it. I have run scared from sharing some
of my views because I know how they will be received within the world I work
and the place I live.
I teach in a public high school in California. I’m not sure there is a more liberal place
to be in the world. This immediate area
isn’t about a free exchange of ideas.
This is about group-speak. Stray
too far? You are a misogynistic, Nazi fascist,
homophobic racist.
I don’t care anymore.
I’m tired of worrying about upsetting others and I ‘m tired of worrying
that my employer will take such offense they will look to try and find
something to fire me for. I just don’t
care anymore.
I have shied away from writing about abortion, immigration,
the 2nd Amendment, gay marriage, etc. No more.
I will write what I feel and let the cards fall where they may.
Today a new day dawns for me.
