Ray Bradbury called his classic book about censorship Fahrenheit 451 because that's the temperature of burning paper. This new department on this blog is called Fahrenheit 212 because that's the temp when human blood comes to a full, rolling boil. It will be about items in the news that test that statistic.
Today, if you wanna get mad just read this. It's about how the overwhelming majority of teachers in this country find it necessary to dig into their own wallets to pay for things like pens and paper and bulletin boards for their classrooms. Then think about (a) how poorly we pay teachers in the first place and (b) how much our governments (national, state, local, etc.) pay for things that aren't necessary or which enrich the rich. Got you up to an internal temp of 212? It should.
