You are NOT going to change someone’s mind by insulting them. You’re not!
What’s got my attention and my ire up is a meme with a comment that some of my friends — and former teachers — are sharing on FB.
Why not THINK before you insult?
There’s a meme that says: If you can’t join the military with a felony on your record, how can a person with a felony become Commander in Chief?
Stand alone, it’s thought provoking, for sure. I agree that everyone has a right to stand up for what they believe in — religion, politics, and everything else in between. No harm. No foul.
But what follows the meme… and is also being shared… is this:
Feel free to take as much time as you need to process this – even if it taxes your educational skills…
Think about this — if you catch the attention of a Trump supporter with the meme, why then insult them? You’ve officially shut the door on bringing them over to your side. If a person doesn’t jump to agree with you on something you believe, they’re automatically stupid?
Don’t be a bully — and if you’re an educator (or a former one), mentioning educational skills in this manner isn’t cool. 🙄
This is a beautiful spot. If you don’t agree, you’re dumb.
Take as much time as you need to process that these are flowers and not weeds in the photo below — even if it taxes your educational skills…
Now you know: The same person was the voice for Miss Piggy, Yoda, Cookie Monster, Grover, Fozzie Bear, and Bert!
