Realizing that our worst fears about Betsy deVos’ plans for the public education system have come true make me want to bang my head against a brick wall.
Luckily I have numerous beautiful ones in my archives to choose from.
Then again I would like all of us to come down on her like a ton of bricks, to change directions, if possible.
Maybe someone can drop a brick that sufficiently weakens her ability to go through with her devious plans.
Maybe she’s a brick short of a load to really pull off segregation, which, in the end, is what all the republican plans are about.
Yes, the 90 degree heat is obviously melting my brain which is why my writing today bricked….
Read this, then, and admire the skill of builders who created the photographed walls by hand…

I’m almost loathe to read anything more about the likes of DeVos, Mercer, et al. It’s so depressing. Ellen went to St. Mary’s Academy, and received a very good education there, not because it was a Catholic school, but because it had lay teachers as well as many wise nuns, but most important it was an all-girls high school. There were no boys. So no female competition. They focused on learning.
The brick wall with chairs is my favorite.
