Megan Thee Stallion should have never been dragged into it
Gompers teacher fires back
Megan Thee Stallion is to twerking what LeBron James is to basketball.
Very poor taste
There was an article written by Mike Madriaga (“Bouce and Twerk,” August 6) that I and many other people have found to be very problematic.
He wrote an article about a dance instructor who dances to Bounce music and a very, very loose connection to Megan Thee Stallion.
Megan was recently shot in both feet due to domestic violence, but he somehow managed to focus his whole attention on a white woman who doesn’t even know her and how she’s affected by Bounce.
This is in very poor taste and Megan should have never been dragged into it. Instead of focusing on her pain and how rampant domestic violence is in the country, especially amongst WOC he decided to drag her name into an article that had nothing to do with her.

Gompers has always done the “heart work” for the kids in addition to the regular hard work of education, says Dolores Garcia, “and the union does not want to do that.”
Gompers teacher mis-represented
I was featured in a story by Joe Deegan titled “What a teachers union has done to Gompers” (August 12), and I have some concerns about the way that some ideas were captured and also some misrepresentations. The first one is the section in his article titled Bullying and Silencing, and I am named by a teacher, Viridiana Word, and an allegation was made directly against me. Joe never talked to me about this. Joe never asked me for a comment on this and that the little part in there that is in parentheses is very misleading; actually it’s factually inaccurate. It says in parentheses “when I caught up with Mills later, he said of the incident only that he has protected speech.” First of all, that doesn’t quite make sense; it’s right after a quote, and it’s not assumed that it’s the writer of the article; is that Joe’s “I” or is that Miss Word’s “I”? I think that’s confusing, but secondly that’s completely factually inaccurate.
Joe never asked me about this incident. I would have loved to give a statement to provide in response. There’s this very intense allegation being made against me. The protected speech comment actually had to do with a completely separate issue, the issue of retaliation. That’s part of why we filed the unfair labor practices charge. It had nothing to do with the situation with Miss Word.
