MEATAXE MIKE MILES STRIKES AGAIN: CUTS MORE THAN 2300 JOBS - OVER 20% OFSTAFF

 

MEATAXE MIKE MILES STRIKES AGAIN

CUTS MORE THAN 2300 JOBS - OVER 20% OF STAFF

Ladies and gentlemen, hold onto your hats and grab a pint of ice cream because we have some news that will make you want to scream. HISD Superintendent Meataxe Mike Miles is back at it again with his meataxe, and this time he's not holding back.

During a virtual forum on Thursday, Miles announced that he will be cutting 2,347 jobs from the district's staff. That's right, you heard it correctly, over 20% of the staff will be getting the boot. So much for job security, am I right?

Now, we don't want to jump to conclusions, but we can't help but wonder if Miles has been binge-watching Game of Thrones lately. I mean, he's practically acting like the Night King with his ruthless decisions and icy demeanor. Maybe he's trying to claim the Iron Throne of HISD?

But let's not forget, this is not the first time Miles has gone on a firing spree. In fact, he's practically a pro at it by now. He's like the Michael Jordan of layoffs, always aiming for the highest score.

We can only imagine the chaos that will ensue with this latest round of cuts. Who will take over all the jobs that are being eliminated? Will there be a Hunger Games-style competition to determine who gets to keep their job? Or will everyone just be left to fend for themselves in the wild, wild world of unemployment?

And let's not forget about the students. How will these cuts affect their education? Will they be forced to teach themselves with a stack of textbooks and a pat on the back? Or will they have to resort to using smoke signals to communicate with their teachers?

But in all seriousness, we understand that these cuts are not a laughing matter. People's livelihoods are at stake here, and it's important to remember that behind every job title is a person with a family and bills to pay.

So, Mr. Miles, we implore you to reconsider your decision and find a better solution that doesn't involve chopping off a fifth of your staff. And if you need some inspiration, we suggest watching The Office and taking notes from Michael Scott's management style. Because let's face it, if there's anyone who knows how to run a successful workplace, it's definitely him.

FLORIDA GOV. DUHSANTIS DEFENDS FLORIDA'S VERSION OF SLAVERY: IT WAS FUN

 

FLORIDA GOV. DUHSANTIS DEFENDS

FLORIDA'S VERSION OF SLAVERY: IT WAS FUN

Florida Governor Ron DuhSantis, the MAGA candidate for dictator or president, has done it again! In his latest move, he has announced that his Department of Miseducation will be teaching students that slavery actually benefited Black people. Yes, you heard that right. Slavery, the brutal and inhumane practice of owning human beings, was apparently a good thing for Black people. 

I mean, who needs facts and actual history when you have a wacky governor like DuhSantis? Painting a fairy tale version of America for students in public schools is not an act of patriotism, it's an act of child abuse. It's like telling kids that Santa Claus is real and then crushing their dreams when they find out he's not. Except in this case, it's even worse because it's perpetuating a harmful and false narrative that undermines the struggles and achievements of Black people throughout history. 

But don't worry, DuhSantis isn't alone in his delusional thinking. Vice President Kamala Harris had the audacity to criticize these controversial Black history standards, and DuhSantis called her criticism "absolutely ridiculous." Yes, because clearly the person who is actually Black and has experienced racism firsthand is less qualified to comment on Black history than a white governor who thinks slavery was a good thing. 

It's almost comical how out of touch DuhSantis is with reality. It's like he's living in an alternate universe where up is down and wrong is right. Maybe he should take a break from his MAGA rallies and actually read a history book or two. Or better yet, maybe he should just resign and let someone who actually cares about educating our children take over. 

But until that happens, we're stuck with a governor who thinks teaching kids that slavery was a good thing is a great idea. And who knows what other ridiculous ideas he'll come up with next? Maybe he'll suggest that the earth is flat or that vaccines cause autism. The possibilities are endless with DuhSantis at the helm. 

In conclusion, let's all take a moment to appreciate the absurdity of Ron DuhSantis and his Department of Miseducation. It's like a bad joke come to life, except it's not funny because it's actually affecting the education of our children. So let's all do our part to combat this nonsense by educating ourselves and speaking out against it whenever possible. And maybe, just maybe, we can prevent future generations from being miseducated by the likes of Ron DuhSantis.
