Texas to Include Teabonics in School Textbooks
I’m sure it’s only a matter of time. Horribly misspelled messages of hate are sadly a common part of this bilingual country. If “ecetions” can be made for little brown wetback children to be schooled in a “lanaguage” other than the “offical” language, then why can’t “are” God fearing “daugters” and sons be taught ‘Teabonics’?

Republicans Want to Shut Down the Boys & Girls Club of America
If you’re like me, you grew up at the club, learning to swim and play ball.
