Next week teachers in my district decide if we're okay with going back or if we only want to be virtual

Most are planning on saying virtual but they're definitely gonna make a bunch go in or fire us.

Strikes will most likely be happening

I heard teachers can't legally strike in Texas so they literally have no say if they get forced to go back.

That shit is insanity.

Its middle school meaning its just going to be state history, what is there to whitewash. No textbook has defended the civilwar or " manifest destiny" for at least 30 years....I mean maybe world history but that is more or less a chronological list of people/events and what happened not anything indepth.

It's never as overt as defending the Civil War or Manifest Destiny.

It's stuff like, say with my Residential School system example, completely leaving out that children were forcibly taken from their parents to be sent to these "schools", never saw them again, and were beaten, raped, and died all in the name of exterminating the Native way of life.

Instead you'd get told shit like "Kids went to these schools to learn English and be educated in order to successfully integrate into settler life".

Looking back at it it's ridiculous how white-washed the history classes I had in Elementary were.

Like it pretty much just glossed over the Residential School system and how awful and destructive it was. Of course at that time I didn't have a home PC and there was no Wikipedia so I (like many kids) were just left completely in the dark until we were older.

That sounds like a problem with how the sport is played itself, if players are breaking legs while on the field.

I mean you can break your ankle stepping off a curb.

The point is more than an off-field issue allegedly led directly to an on-field issue which caused a life-altering incident for Smith that could have killed him.

Man some of the shit going around right now is insane.

Like apparently Alex Smith almost died because (Jay) Gruden found out Kapri Bibbs was also sleeping with (one of?) his side chick(s) in the office, so he benched Bibbs for Byron Marshall, and Marshall was the one who missed the block on the play against the Texans that resulted in Smith's leg getting snapped in half.

E: Just to be clear the "apparently" part is the side chick/benching part. Byron Marshall being in the game and missing a block leading to Smith's injury is 100% factual.

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-07-15/sas-soldiers-allegedly-plant-gun-on-dead-bodies-in-afghanistan/12452964

Australian special forces allegedly planted the same weapon on the bodies of two different Afghan civilians after a raid in which locals say unarmed civilians were executed, the ABC can reveal.

An AK-47 assault rifle with teal-coloured tape wrapped around the stock was photographed next to two bodies in separate locations and logged in the special forces database after the raid at the village of Shina in May 2012.

The operation by members of 3 Squadron SAS left three Afghans dead, with the special forces claiming they were all insurgents and legitimately killed.

Australian sources have told the ABC that while one of the dead men was a Taliban fighter, the other two were civilians. This is backed by accounts from the families of two of the men.

ABC Investigations has spoken to several members who served on that 2012 special forces rotation of Afghanistan who say that so-called "throwdowns", such as assault rifles and radios, were often used to cover up unlawful killings.

"Often people who had been killed had weapons placed on them and [they were] photographed with these weapons," said an SAS patrol member who served on that special forces rotation of Afghanistan.

"That happened on numerous occasions."

ABC Investigations understands the killings at Shina and the alleged use of a planted assault rifle are being investigated by the Inspector-General of the Australian Defence Force (IGADF).

For more than four years, the IGADF has been conducting an inquiry into allegations of war crimes committed by Australian special forces in Afghanistan.

ABC Investigations commissioned an Afghan journalist to track down and interview relatives of the men from Shina, a remote district which is now back under Taliban control.

Relatives of two of the men killed that day say both were civilians and were shot in cold blood by the Australians.

Both were at the village when the SAS swept in.

Abdul Wali said the Australians landed in one helicopter near his family home and in another near the village reservoir.

"They had gloves on and their faces were camouflaged with green and other colours. They were unidentifiable."

Abdul Wali said his father Abdul Wahid, who was in his 80s, was ordered to approach the Australians.

"They called on my father and my father went towards them along with another elder, Mr Aminullah," said Abdul Wali.

"They were together at the time when they went towards them and they shot [my father]."

He says his father was shot in the abdomen and in the neck.

The two Afghans were not armed and did not present a threat to the soldiers, said Abdul Wali.

Shina farmer Sakhi Daad said he was irrigating his wheat when the Black Hawk helicopters landed.

He says the Australians detained the men of the village and put them in a compound.

"We were all handcuffed and they had guns. They told us not to look at each other," said Sakhi Daad.

"After a while shots were fired on the other side [of the compound]."

He says after the Australians left the men freed themselves and searched the area, finding three bodies.

One of them was his brother-in-law, Jan Mohammad.

"He was 20 years old, he was engaged, and he wasn't married yet. He wasn't able to work because his brain didn't work properly," said Sakhi Daad.

"He was mentally ill."

Sakhi Daad said when the Australian soldiers arrived, Jan Mohammad was grazing a cow.

"When the cow heard the helicopters, it ran and he ran after it," he said.

"Soldiers came his way and saw him running. I don't know what they thought, that maybe he is a Talib and running away or a civilian that is running away. They shot him straight away in the head."

ABC Investigations can confirm that the body of Jan Mohammad was one of two photographed with the same AK-47 with teal coloured tape on the stock.

The third Afghan killed in the SAS raid was the imam of the local mosque, Muhibullah.

Abdul Wali says the killing of his father was unforgivable.

"He was on his own land. He never stole or did anything bad to anyone. He was an elderly person. This is impossible to forgive and I won't forgive it," he said.

"I want [the Australians] to be tried," said Sakhi Daad. "If the government cares about us, if they care about our widows and orphans, then they must summon them and try them in the court."

The Inspector-General is believed to be in the final stages of preparing its long-awaited report for the chief of defence.

An Australian Defence Force spokesperson said: "It is not appropriate for Defence to comment on matters that may or may not be the subject of the Afghanistan Inquiry."

This is why the US doesn't want its own shit investigated.

https://www.businessinsider.com/russia-used-us-intel-sharing-to-pursue-chechnya-dissidents-sources-2020-7

Russia routinely exploited a US policy of increased information sharing to target Chechen dissidents, according to three law-enforcement and intelligence officials in Europe.

The practice emerged after the Trump administration backed a policy of sharing more secret information with Russia, in hope of strengthening relations.

Sources told Insider Russia routinely sought information on its targets of choice dissidents who fled the rule of Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov. The US appears to have received little in return.

It is an open secret that Russia pursues Chechen dissidents and kills them, and sometimes seeks Western help in doing so.

The officials Insider spoke with confirmed the existence of the modern-day US-Russian arrangement after a former US intelligence official described it on the JustSecurity blog.

He said intelligence officials considered it pointless but pursued it anyway on the orders of the Trump administration.

"There was a consistent push for CT cooperation with Moscow, coming from the White House, despite near universal belief within the IC that this effort would be one sided and end up being a waste of time and energy," the former US official, Marc Polymeropoulos, said, referring to counterterrorism and the intelligence community as CT and IC, respectively.

The deal led to the arrests of several people accused of planning attacks in St. Petersburg, Russia, The Daily Beast reported.

However, Insider's sources said Russia's attempt to uphold its side of the bargain was one-sided and self-serving.

All three sources spoke on condition of anonymity because they did not have permission to discuss the subject publicly. Insider knows their identities.

The sources said most of the information that came from the Russians as "help" were thinly veiled requests for information on the whereabouts of Chechen and other Muslim Russian dissidents.

The dissidents in question had fled the decadelong wars in and around Chechnya to claim asylum in Europe.

A French police source told Insider: "The Russians regularly abuse the process of sharing information by spamming us with notices about people they know perfectly well are under police protection because of their threats."

The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he did not have permission to brief the media, is investigating the stabbing death of Imran Aliev, an anti-Putin and anti-Kadyrov blogger who lived under police protection in Belgium.

He said: "The Russian mentality is that any Chechen who wants independence from Moscow or opposes Kadyrov is an Islamic extremist terrorist just the same as ISIS and needs to be killed.

"It's a mix of fishing, intimidation, and setting an atmosphere to make it easier to pressure someone else to turn them over later. It also allows an alibi for them to shrug when they end up murdered."

More than a dozen Chechen activists have been killed in Europe since 2004, with Russian or Chechen suspects linked to either Russian intelligence or Kadyrov's forces in multiple cases.

Another NATO military intelligence official who regularly deals with Russian intelligence matters confirmed the nature of Russia's activity.

He said NATO had limited some parts of its relationship with the US because of its closeness to Russia. Specifically some worried that US officials would send them its intelligence.

The official also spoke anonymously because he lacked permission to speak publicly. He said: "I don't want to say we locked the Americans out, but we certainly noticed the very public leak of intelligence to the Russians in 2017.

"This is why key protections of intelligence information are in place. You can't always count on your friends to keep secrets."

The NATO official said Russia volunteered little useful information on Russians fighting in Syria, despite more of its citizens fighting in that war than any non-Arab nation.

He said Russia instead focused its energies on Chechen targets.

"If we have this good information-sharing relationship, and there's all these Chechen terrorists out there, why do we only get info and requests on bloggers and retired fighters from the 1990s?" the official said. "What about all these Chechens and Dagestanis in Idlib? Lots of these guys seem to have military training; the Russians must have something on them. What about Malhama Tactical?"

A third source, an intelligence official with a central European NATO member, also confirmed Russia's requests focus on Chechens.

"They use the intelligence-sharing system like they used Interpol: It's a threat," he said. "It's like the movie 'The Godfather.' You have to spread the rumor to everyone that he's dirty before you kill him. That way everyone thinks he probably had it coming."
