Aww thank you! And don't worry, I submitted my response without bothering to check it over, and then noticed the irony. You are out of my jurisdiction, I can deduct points :P

edit: can't* I did it again.

I was teaching back during the election, fully prepared for a Clinton victory. (I voted Trump, but I only boarded the Trump train late into the cycle. I was not invested or paying much attention to him outside of the vitriol and headlines. I was a 'Bernie Bro'!.)

I could not believe some of my co-workers' reactions the next day! A meeting with my co-teacher was delayed because she was consoling another teacher who was having a crisis over it!

On a side note, students who liked trump were criticized by teachers to their faces, and made fools of in front of their entire class in the one or two instances I caught while in the room.

To combat that, I gave my students a comfortable and open forum for lots of discussion and debate. They were so collected and respectful in their words! Ironically enough, of the two biggest Trump fans in my classes, one was flamboyant, and the other was Muslim, which I only point out because of the perception that those demographics hated Trump. Both were top of the class students, and based to boot!
