Everyone, PLEASE listen to this. You've probably heard about some of these bills/laws, but the full story is far worse than you might think. Stick with it all the way to the discussion of penalties for teachers.

I think of my last period class today, where we just finished a 3-class mini unit on Lift Every Voice and Sing. If my state approves any of these measures (and they might) I won't really be able to actually teach the song properly anymore; just the notation on the page without any context.
Things like this are why people are leaving education.
