Frustration!
I think I have hit my worse class yet.
Today in my history class our teacher asked us about the up and coming Supreme Court nomination and why was it so important especially for women's issues. The first two did not know. She then turns to me. I did not raise my hand she just asked why?
I said it probably had something to do with abortion. (I have not been paying attention to what is going on I admit.) I also said that was not a bad reason and that I was anti-abortion.
It then got confusing for a moment and she asked what was the real issue was I thought she was coming up with a whole new thing.
I then said I was not sure and had not been following it.
She than continued and said that was not the real issue that the issue was "man" was basically trying to control women from the navel down. She comes across as being one of those people who thinks their point of view is right and she will show it in her actions and her words and backlash at you. I don't respond well to those people and tend to just get flustered and get all messed up if I speak.
From there on out the class went crazy from subjects about how men are in control of the nation not woman or even an equal share. I wanted to say something about how men should be the lead but I was afraid of the back lash from her and not being able to get anywhere.
She then talked about how mainsteaming is bad and we will always have to pay the price for the mistakes of our forefathers especially those done to American Indians (she is one)
The class also brought up the point about how her reactions where to us some most agreed that it was intimidating but some stood with her and said she was ok for doing what she was doing.
If anything this class is going to teach me to really learn and know what I believe. I spent most of the class time praying so I would not up and walk out of the class.
Please pray for me that I can stand during this time.
