                                         Welcome to Teacher Quit Talk, I'm Miss Redacted, and I'm Mrs. Frazzled.
                                         
                                         Every week we explore the teacher- Exodus to find out what if anything could get these educators back in the classroom.
                                         
                                         We've all had our moments where we thought, what the hell am I doing here?
                                         
                                         From burnout to bureaucracy to soul-secing stressors and creative dead ends,
                                         
                                         from recognizing when it was time to go, to navigating feelings of guilt and regret afterwards,
                                         
                                         we're here to cut off a gaslighting and get real about what it means to leave teaching.
                                         
                                         We've got insights from former teachers from all over the country who have seen it all.
                                         
                                         So get ready to be disturbed, join us on Teacher Quit Talk to laugh through the pain of the US

                                         Okay.
                                         
                                         So let's talk about the uterine state of America.
                                         
                                         All right.
                                         
                                         And the jazz on my vagina.
                                         
                                         All of it.
                                         
                                         All of it. And this is the best quote I've
                                         
                                         I've seen so far. America should not be able to hold a person hostage to their pregnancy,
                                         
                                         make one's body a prison and then call itself the land of liberty. Thank you. You cannot do that to women.
                                         
    
                                         Let me tell you something.
                                         
                                         I'm mad on so many different levels.
                                         
                                         Like if you slice me, there's a checker board of anger.
                                         
                                         It's not even like you're going to use no.
                                         
                                         You got to do chest moves.
                                         
                                         How angry I am over this bullshit.
                                         
                                         First of all, Angela, can we have a conversation
                                         
                                         about the fact when you go to a job interview, right? And they ask you, they ask you, they
                                         
    
                                         talk about the culture, they say, this is the kind of company we are. We expect you to wear
                                         
                                         a suit. We expect you to promote these values when you hear, right? And you say during that interview, you say,
                                         
                                         I understand what the culture is.
                                         
                                         I understand the precedent of everything that this job entails.
                                         
                                         I've been studying.
                                         
                                         Right.
                                         
                                         And I'm going to do what you're going to hire me to do.
                                         
                                         All right?
                                         
    
                                         And I promise.
                                         
                                         I promise I don't have an ulterior motive to come in here and do some other shit that you ain't expecting me to do
                                         
                                         at your fitness job
                                         
                                         Right these
                                         
                                         fucking people
                                         
                                         Who have been a sign and given a life-long job here at the court have lied to the American people. And what are we going to do about it?
                                         
                                         Because all three of them sat there and said,
                                         
                                         I believe in this precedent.
                                         
    
                                         This is precedent.
                                         
                                         I'm not coming here to this job.
                                         
                                         They swore on oath, Angela.
                                         
                                         That's right.
                                         
                                         This is settled law.
                                         
                                         This is settled law.
                                         
                                         I've not come in here.
                                         
                                         I don't have a curiomotov. I have no doubt that Alito said a law. I'm not coming here. I don't have a ulterior motive.
                                         
    
                                         I have no doubt that Alito said it too,
                                         
                                         when he was being questioned.
                                         
                                         That's what I'm saying.
                                         
                                         How is it that now I have to live
                                         
                                         and all women have to live under
                                         
                                         the shadow of their ulterior motives?
                                         
                                         That's not okay.
                                         
                                         That's not American. This is the problem with refusing to address problems.
                                         
    
                                         You're going to address some.
                                         
                                         You're going to cry today or cry tomorrow,
                                         
                                         but you will be crying.
                                         
                                         And the reality of the situation is when you have a document
                                         
                                         that has never included everyone,
                                         
                                         that has purported to, that has sort of given the languaging
                                         
                                         of without actually giving that language,
                                         
                                         because women are never,
                                         
    
                                         they went to say for Samuel Alito, just as Alito to say, that has purported to, that has sort of given the languaging of, without actually giving that language,
                                         
                                         because women are never,
                                         
                                         they went to say, for Samuel Alito, just as Alito to say,
                                         
                                         that the right to abortion is not specifically enumerated
                                         
                                         in the Constitution.
                                         
                                         Women aren't mentioned in the Constitution.
                                         
                                         Black people, slaves are not mentioned in the Constitution.
                                         
                                         And either a man without just many various ages,
                                         
    
                                         different stripes, whatever, it's absolutely insane to me.
                                         
                                         The number of things, the idea that that document could have
                                         
                                         helped. And by the way, at that time, the Supreme Court
                                         
                                         didn't have those justices, like that number has changed.
                                         
                                         I didn't see people recuse themselves to go back the original
                                         
                                         number. Like the point is that this is a living breathing document
                                         
                                         that has been changed and that they're willing to change
                                         
                                         whenever it suits the power people in power.
                                         
    
                                         But we have here is the last gasp of a bunch of assholes,
                                         
                                         a bunch of elitist, straight, white,
                                         
                                         Republican, racist, sexist, xenophobic, ignorant men
                                         
                                         who, and this is, do not, before you start feeling in your feelings, if you are a white man, xenophobic, ignorant man who and this is do not before you start feeling in your
                                         
                                         feelings, if you are a white man, listen to this. We are not talking about you listening to
                                         
                                         this and you know that. You know that team. No, they don't listen to us, not even like
                                         
                                         to get mad. They don't even. So the reality is that these people, they know that not only are the demographics
                                         
                                         changing, but we have, they've seen so much change that has made them feel dislocated without
                                         
    
                                         actually dislocating them. Because the idea that they don't still control things is crazy. When I'm
                                         
                                         watching them take away my rights to my actual body. Like the fact that they can do that
                                         
                                         suggests it makes it really clear that they haven't lost control of anything.
                                         
                                         No, and you know what, this is the other thing.
                                         
                                         Like all of these, and then all of a sudden,
                                         
                                         everybody's going, wait a minute.
                                         
                                         If this happens, then that is, this makes this,
                                         
                                         it makes this possible.
                                         
    
                                         Abortion rollback risks erasing decades of economic gains
                                         
                                         for U.S. women, okay?
                                         
                                         That's one of the headlines.
                                         
                                         Overturning Roe v. Wade risks widening the economic inequality in the United States, threatening decades of gains for women in places where abortion could all but be, could be all but banned.
                                         
                                         And so when I look at that, I go, it's not just holding us prisoner in our bodies.
                                         
                                         It's also making sure that it's true Gilead.
                                         
                                         It is taking over and taking away our finances and our abilities to earn and reducing the
                                         
                                         money to where we would have extra economics or extra money to be able to do X or Y or Z
                                         
    
                                         or go get an education or have the freedom to be able to choose a different thing, have
                                         
                                         the freedom to choose to get a fucking divorce from a man if you want to or need to.
                                         
                                         And I mean, I'm saying that with every fiber of my fucking being, because we know so many women who have not been able to leave
                                         
                                         because of the children, because she has,
                                         
                                         and every woman I've talked to over 50,
                                         
                                         talking about their mama who got left,
                                         
                                         who was 45 years old,
                                         
                                         ready to go out and find a fucking job
                                         
    
                                         when we're 20 years,
                                         
                                         because she been working in the fucking house.
                                         
                                         Fuck all y'all.
                                         
                                         No, it's really repugnant.
                                         
                                         And if you get a chance to read, I haven't finished it.
                                         
                                         But if you get a chance to read the opinion, if you just want to,
                                         
                                         to be clear about where you're angry, um,
                                         
                                         it is a complete repudiation of everything that's every amendment that,
                                         
    
                                         like it really is at the end of the day.
                                         
                                         And, and, and it, it basically saying there's no such thing
                                         
                                         as present and except this one, we'd like this one, the one we're making right now,
                                         
                                         we'd like this to stand, but not affect anything else, which is garbage, because you've
                                         
                                         just annihilated the principle. That's right. I think, you know, when I think about my
                                         
                                         points of fury, I'm going to tell you, and it may not seem fair to some people, but I
                                         
                                         am, and I have said it for the last week,
                                         
                                         but I am still angry at this.
                                         
    
                                         And I'm gonna include Rebecca Traster,
                                         
                                         she's one of the writer from New York Magazine.
                                         
                                         And I think it's New York Times Magazine,
                                         
                                         but she's a person who does speaking on MSNBC appendent.
                                         
                                         And she really articulated very clearly
                                         
                                         for me the other day on Wendy's Pro Rams,
                                         
                                         where my anger stems from,
                                         
                                         when I talk about liberal,
                                         
    
                                         the liberal part of the country,
                                         
                                         the left, particularly men on the progressive side
                                         
                                         or on the left or Democrat side.
                                         
                                         I have had to listen to for years.
                                         
                                         I have sat on the same stage with men who for years who are on our team,
                                         
                                         unquote, who have told me when they're most,
                                         
                                         they're kindest and yet most condescending and patronizing tones.
                                         
                                         Don't you worry.
                                         
    
                                         Don't worry about row.
                                         
                                         Nobody's going to go after row.
                                         
                                         Oh, come on now.
                                         
                                         You don't have to worry about that.
                                         
                                         As we've been screaming,
                                         
                                         you have to codify this.
                                         
                                         And I have been told repeatedly by men who purport to care about me and about justice.
                                         
                                         Then I don't need to worry about this.
                                         
    
                                         I shouldn't vote for people based on their pro-tron.
                                         
                                         That on the head is as disgusting as it is.
                                         
                                         And they sit there.
                                         
                                         And they sit there for, you know what?
                                         
                                         Not only that, but where was our rage?
                                         
                                         Where was the rage in Texas when this shit was going is going down state by state?
                                         
                                         Okay, because I'm gonna tell you something you let them take a mother fucking itch and now they got your fucking wound
                                         
                                         Okay, they're gonna try to take you they're gonna try to insert what the fuck they want in your fucking body
                                         
    
                                         While saying you can't trust government while seeing they want small government. That's right And I have to say, as never, here's the thing, when we've had power when we haven't. And we have never, have not, because of this sort of

                                         civil rights, we have never ever sat down and codified this
                                         
                                         into law the way it should be, the way that our country
                                         
                                         is set up to do.
                                         
                                         And what really is confusing, Rebecca Tracer
                                         
                                         made this really clear, is that abortion overwhelmingly,
                                         
    
                                         when we are pulling around this issue,
                                         
                                         had been screwed for a number of years.
                                         
                                         And then my sister worked in the pro choice movement.
                                         
                                         And for years, and she told me that they finally did a survey.
                                         
                                         They finally did polling on the right question.
                                         
                                         Because I always point out you four against abortion.
                                         
                                         And that's a hard question for people to answer.
                                         
                                         But when they really parsed out the question,
                                         
    
                                         do you think abortion is, do you support abortion?
                                         
                                         And then, do you, do you think that anybody should have the right to tell anyone else,
                                         
                                         whether or not they can have abortion?
                                         
                                         People have very different answers.
                                         
                                         When it comes down to, when you ask,
                                         
                                         do you think you or the government
                                         
                                         or anyone has the right to tell anyone else
                                         
                                         if they can't or can have an abortion,
                                         
    
                                         this country is over 70% in favor of pro-choice.
                                         
                                         That's right.
                                         
                                         This is a winning issue.
                                         
                                         And she, Rebecca Tracer said it very clearly.
                                         
                                         The Democrat Party has acted like it's something
                                         
                                         they don't want to touch. Like it's a hot deal. When it's a winning issue, when
                                         
                                         it has overwhelming consensus, this is by treating it like
                                         
                                         some ethical moral hot potato and I'm being absolutely
                                         
    
                                         unwilling to step forward and defend women and even yes, now
                                         
                                         president Biden is saying, Bush, he has to fall for a year.
                                         
                                         And the reality is, Obama, you know,
                                         
                                         I'm just saying, we have to be,
                                         
                                         we have to hold our own leadership accountable
                                         
                                         and we need to be calling those our senators
                                         
                                         and Congress people and saying,
                                         
                                         you can't look people.
                                         
    
                                         I am a one issue voter and that is civil rights.
                                         
                                         And this being pro choice is civil rights.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         And you know what,
                                         
                                         I'm going back to this originalist idea of the Constitution.
                                         
                                         You got a, you got a,
                                         
                                         I've been saying this to you the last week or two is,
                                         
                                         this attack on role makes me,
                                         
    
                                         you know, stiff in my spine about the attack on black people.
                                         
                                         Because if you can't apply on that that ruling and you don't go with that
                                         
                                         precedent, why do you even have to consider that I might
                                         
                                         still be considered three fifths of a human being?
                                         
                                         Oh, I can tell you, yep, I can tell you separate, but
                                         
                                         equals back. Let me be clear about something that those
                                         
                                         assholes have no respect for the document that
                                         
                                         they're there to so-called interpret.
                                         
    
                                         And there are three illegitimate justices on that court.
                                         
                                         And the reality is there are mechanisms for impeaching and getting rid of Supreme Court
                                         
                                         justices.
                                         
                                         And if there aren't, we can make them.
                                         
                                         It's a living, breathing mother-fucking document.
                                         
                                         And on top of it, get rid of the goddamn filibuster.
                                         
                                         I don't care.
                                         
                                         Pretend that you're a Republican for half a second.
                                         
    
                                         And that you can figure out how to get something done
                                         
                                         that everybody wants done.
                                         
                                         The idea that our civil rights are about some sort of practice
                                         
                                         in the, you know, could be destroyed by a practice in the Senate
                                         
                                         is absolutely insane to me.
                                         
                                         And furthermore, I think it's really important
                                         
                                         at this moment in our region, our period,
                                         
                                         that we don't remember number one,
                                         
    
                                         that abortion is legal right now.
                                         
                                         And while in the number of states,
                                         
                                         access has been relatively destroyed
                                         
                                         and they're working on it daily to make it worse,
                                         
                                         we are, but don't, I get worried,
                                         
                                         and I heard other people's voicing this concern, that for people who may may not who are just looking at the news or not maybe not have been looking but hearing things that women they might not know as of right now you can get an abortion and you should go get if you need to get one.
                                         
                                         Get one it's not illegal it's not whatever you may live in a state where they've passed some of these laws and rules, but you can go to a different state if you can and look there are organizations to try to help you.
                                         
                                         You should go to an a raw, go to planparenhood.com and figure and find that help.
                                         
    
                                         But we need to be focusing on sentence and centering our our media attention
                                         
                                         on the people who need health care, who about to not get access to a procedure
                                         
                                         that they absolutely need.
                                         
                                         And we need to be centering that energy on what are we going to do to make
                                         
                                         sure that women continue to get
                                         
                                         or continue can get to some
                                         
                                         adequate health care and the
                                         
                                         procedure that they absolutely
                                         
    
                                         that's medical in their own business. And this also, this
                                         
                                         whole, you know, this whole
                                         
                                         missed gosh, I don't know how
                                         
                                         you say that. This whole
                                         
                                         situation also makes us have
                                         
                                         to look at what happens to
                                         
                                         abortion fields, what happens with contraception.
                                         
                                         Because you may not be pro choice, but do you use contraceptions?
                                         
    
                                         Of course you do.
                                         
                                         Do you use a condom?
                                         
                                         Do you use a pill?
                                         
                                         Because they want to come for that too.
                                         
                                         Oh, they're not going to get rid of condoms because see, that's a man's choice.
                                         
                                         And that's my other thing. They're not going gonna get rid of condoms because see that's a man's choice. And that's my other thing.
                                         
                                         They're not gonna get rid of that.
                                         
                                         Oh, they don't mean that contraception.
                                         
    
                                         You ain't never heard nobody talking about outlawing a condom because see that's where they can make a choice.
                                         
                                         Right. And that's my issue to Angela and all this whole discussion and all this whole Roe V Wade discussion
                                         
                                         in never, we never talk about men.
                                         
                                         No, we never talk about men and their responsibility.
                                         
                                         We never talk about men and their need of, our need of their support.
                                         
                                         We never talk about all we talk about is women.
                                         
                                         And the last time I checked, it takes those two genders to make a baby. In the biological way, yeah, absolutely. And I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, or that we got to wait till June or July, fuck that. Get those justices out right now. Let's start that procedure because this is a winning issue.
                                         
                                         And stop, and that shouldn't be the only reason
                                         
    
                                         you support civil rights, because you can win an election on it.
                                         
                                         But seriously, we are sitting here completely undefended.
                                         
                                         And they will be, they've already talked about Kevin Kramer,
                                         
                                         said it on Twitter.
                                         
                                         They're already talking about a federal ban.
                                         
                                         They're not talking about just taking away the right to abortion.
                                         
                                         They're talking about criminalizing it.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
    
                                         Yeah, that's why you saw Elizabeth Warren out there screeching and screaming the other
                                         
                                         night.
                                         
                                         I mean, rattled.
                                         
                                         And, you know, I mean, this is shaking women in this country as it should to our core. We are poised to restrict abortion
                                         
                                         as developing countries are easing theirs.
                                         
                                         And as we watched Marie Le Pen in France lose,
                                         
                                         but get close.
                                         
                                         And we wanna sit back on our laurels in this country
                                         
    
                                         and go, but we're a democracy.
                                         
                                         Do you not see the fucking cancer that is ripping through the
                                         
                                         bowels of this fucking country?
                                         
                                         I, you know, one place you can go is Stacey Abrams, of course,
                                         
                                         is the, the president of United Earth and also running a
                                         
                                         candidate for governor in Georgia right now.
                                         
                                         But she's obviously a huge organizer,
                                         
                                         a Democratic organizer, go to stacey Abrams.com slash Rose. She's got information on different
                                         
    
                                         things that we're doing to fight this draft opinion, which, you know, the controversy of whether or not,
                                         
                                         it's not illegal to leak this, like there's no laws about leaking Supreme Court drafts or whatever
                                         
                                         the fuck people are upset about. And I don't, and I don't give a fuck either.
                                         
                                         And frankly, I don't, I don't care what the intent was.
                                         
                                         I don't care if the intent was to softball it so that, because I've heard that from a
                                         
                                         lot of people that, that's a way to get us prepared for it.
                                         
                                         So we're not as angry when it actually happens or if it was a way to expose it or what.
                                         
                                         But what I do need is for everyone of you men who has said to me for the last however many years
                                         
    
                                         and you know who you are, that we didn't need to worry about this.
                                         
                                         I need you to be tithing to these organizations.
                                         
                                         I need you to step the fuck up and be at every rally
                                         
                                         I march you punk. You hear about because you've been telling me
                                         
                                         to calm my pretty ass down. And you didn't only say pretty, but calm myself down about something that you would never
                                         
                                         be calm about. And I can't stress it enough. This is these people, the minute, if the Republicans
                                         
                                         managed to steal slash win in the midterms, the first thing as I've been saying,
                                         
                                         Francis, we'll tell you from
                                         
    
                                         the beginning of this bullshit
                                         
                                         with Trump. The first thing
                                         
                                         they are going to do is get
                                         
                                         rid of the filibuster.
                                         
                                         Mm-hmm.
                                         
                                         And then there will be a
                                         
                                         federal, they're going to,
                                         
                                         they're going to put through
                                         
    
                                         legislation, they're going to
                                         
                                         do what they can do to put a
                                         
                                         federal ban on abortion, to end
                                         
                                         separate but equal, to end
                                         
                                         public education, to end a
                                         
                                         minimum wage, to end everything,
                                         
                                         and to have a way, I'm telling you,
                                         
                                         you people don't get it twisted, they are autocrats.
                                         
    
                                         Yes, yes, and you know what,
                                         
                                         and I'm gonna tell you this, I have to say this out loud,
                                         
                                         I'm angry with white women in the middle of the country.
                                         
                                         I'm disappointed because at the end of the day,
                                         
                                         I sit here, there's that old black woman in me
                                         
                                         that's sitting on the porch drinking her country time.
                                         
                                         And there is that part of me that's rocking on the chair,
                                         
                                         going, yeah, y'all don't believe that me is crazy.
                                         
    
                                         Because now, you know, if you're going to support these people,
                                         
                                         you're going to local level, and you send the people that you send to Congress to represent you,
                                         
                                         what you're doing is voting by your rights, and you're saying that.
                                         
                                         Well, I think everything about that.
                                         
                                         A lot of people.
                                         
                                         It's okay.
                                         
                                         I think there are a lot of people who think they're not voting right.
                                         
                                         They're voting your rights and my rights and a bunch of other women who aren't them, but
                                         
    
                                         they're confident in their ability to get the procedure they want to get when they want
                                         
                                         to get it.
                                         
                                         And I don't think that's a lot of people.
                                         
                                         I don't know how many is, but I do believe there's a significant portion, particularly
                                         
                                         I don't know if these Republican women, what they fuck they think goes on.
                                         
                                         But what I do know, as we said, I'm Bob Siskas show this week is if one informed women
                                         
                                         in this country has an abortion, then a bunch of people
                                         
                                         are lying and a bunch of people are taking advantage
                                         
    
                                         of a right that they'd like to rip from other people.
                                         
                                         Yep. Yep.
                                         
                                         Well, because one in four people,
                                         
                                         may that's a bunch of Republicans.
                                         
                                         That's right. That's right. And you know,
                                         
                                         and what what's also so like galling for me is the fact that who does this decision fall? Have you
                                         
                                         saw women of color? Yeah, poor women and poor girl. Yeah.
                                         
                                         They've taken away like the one of the one place they could get an abortion in
                                         
    
                                         many states, but now you're gonna make it a crime too. Yeah. Yeah.
                                         
                                         In the case of the mother's life, there are no car vows in this.
                                         
                                         None.
                                         
                                         Not for molestation.
                                         
                                         And here's the thing that we don't want to, this country
                                         
                                         don't want to talk about, this country
                                         
                                         don't want to talk about people touching children
                                         
                                         inside of homes and families.
                                         
    
                                         But be clear that Tennessee is also, as we have reported here,
                                         
                                         before they're trying to get rid of a minimum age for marriage.
                                         
                                         Don't think these things aren't tied to each other.
                                         
                                         That's right, that's right.
                                         
                                         Do you remember people trying to pass
                                         
                                         or people passing different communities around this country
                                         
                                         after 9-11 passing these anti-Sharia laws?
                                         
                                         Yes, girl.
                                         
    
                                         And I was like, what the fuck they were?
                                         
                                         Tell me what the fuck, Sharia, tell me.
                                         
                                         But Sharia's the shit they want.
                                         
                                         That's what I'm screaming.
                                         
                                         You gonna sit here and say that any age child
                                         
                                         can be married and as women do not have the right to abortion.
                                         
                                         What are you saying?
                                         
                                         Right, right, right, right.
                                         
    
                                         Or birth control.
                                         
                                         Let's be clear what you're saying.
                                         
                                         Angela, women are property. We are and second class citizens and shut the fuck up about
                                         
                                         wish we were second class. She's my my taste. I was touching cares more about a dog.
                                         
                                         Yeah, dogs rights. It does. It does. But you could not get a bill passed called forced dogs to
                                         
                                         have dangerous pregnancies. You couldn't get that shit passed. And that is our final word.
                                         
                                         And now it's time for emails, emails, time to get your emails. That's right.
                                         
                                         This is from Merle and Madison, Merle Ann.
                                         
    
                                         Mm-hmm.
                                         
                                         She said, good morning, Gilead.
                                         
                                         Go ahead.
                                         
                                         Yeah, yeah.
                                         
                                         Oh, no.
                                         
                                         Indeed.
                                         
                                         Late in the Reagan administration, when talk about overturning Roe v. Wade was bubbling over, I drove past the sign, a yard sign in a yard next to a yard.
                                         
                                         Oh my goodness. With a sign that says abortion kills babies,
                                         
    
                                         coat hangers kill women. And she goes on to say, amen and goddesses help us all.
                                         
                                         Someday, I'd like to tell you the story of life pre-road,
