23. A lawsuit isn't appropriate because the school dealt with the problem
Thu May 21, 2026, 04:29 PM
Thursday

and I doubt that child will need therapy, he's too young to have heard "Strange Fruit" or to have any memory of anyone who was lynched by a white mob. It's all theory to him and it might be the first exposure he's had to that particularly ugly bit of US history instead of the sugar coated crap in his school books. Maybe she needs to invest in a copy of "Lies My Teacher Told Me," maybe spark the kid's interest in history.

I imagine that was Ms. Savage's last day as a teacher. She's old enough for early ocial Security and I know I wouldn't have been able to last that long in a middle school without blowing some kind of fit, although lynching a baby doll wouldn't be my fit of choice because no, just no.
