As one who values their sanity should. (I clearly do not)
Let’s just say that one notable account continues to return2 bad arguments, bad-faith accusations, terrible jumps in logic, and both-sides-bad complaints.
Cool, isn’t this the track that also features Kendrick Lamar? Probably not a big deal, he’s not really known for speaking up publicly when he feels wronged, right?
They already are calling them paid vacations or indoctrination trips on Facebook.
My wife is one of the students that went on the trip with them the year she graduated, and apparently he speaks some Mandarin (if you asked him, he referred to it as “baby mandarin” at that point.)
She tells a story about a moment not long after they arrived in China that was basically straight out of the movies. Their shuttle buses pulled up, and the two drivers were speaking in Mandarin to each other and bad mouthing the students and adults, and generally just being kind of rude and he walked up to them and said in Mandarin something to the effect of “Hey Guys, how’s it going? Is there some sort of issue?” and their faces just blanched. The company apparently then sent out other shuttle bus drivers to pick them up and take them to where they were staying.
According to my wife, he did regularly dress it up
He had a replica Terra Cotta Warrior statue. It’s still at the school. He taught in a Chinese American experience school for a while after graduation and then would take students on a 2 week long trip to China at the end of the year when he taught in Mankato. (My wife was a student of his and we live in the community.)
I also remember around the same time seeing Bear Wizz Beer, Dicken’s Cider, & co-ed naked “insert sport” t-shirts.
The first was really good. It was a new take on the magic school genre for me.
Another to add, Howard Mohr put together a great informative video on Minnesota cultural and linguistic practices that is really valuable.
Sounds like these yahoos are descendants of Walz’ grandfather’s brother. Almost as big of a nothing burger as his estranged brother’s Facebook post that ended up being about Tim getting car sick as a kid.
It’s just all flailing to try and find anything and they can’t. It’s glorious.
