#tim barrus on education

[timbarrus]

Every piece the New York Times publishes, that is about children, childrens’ rights, the exploitation of children, child trafficking, is done by a writer who at the very least, sounds like a very nervous amateur. It is hardly safe for me to say the Mommy America Suburban Stuff (consumer culture) has had everyone else pussy whipped. Property is everything you need to begin to compete with every other mommie on the block. Our garage only fits two cars and one truck and eight off the road vehicles, and a dirt Bike. We were going to have a pool but then we had a pool. Childhood is relative. It is also a fetish painted nice for another mommy’s smile. I know that look. After all, we live in the same neighborhood.

Childhood becomes a paradigm and there are rules. Your son will be targeted for a concussive event. It’s called piling on. Get the fuck back in that game. That’s childhood. Are they really going to be ballerinas. Some wear diapers. It shows. The New York Times doesn’t know Jack Shit about kids. All of us do not live on Long Island, and some of us, and the children of us, not that unlike the Children of the Vatican you tourists completely ignore which seems to be your answer to everything. Their arrival in America is not their fault. They have landed in a country where everyone hates them. They are more at risk for everything from everyone. There are still children in institutions who were, indeed, ripped from the family’s arms. Those arms cannot be replaced. What we have done with those children is criminal. The middle class guards who physically grabbed those kids – we were just doing our jobs – would not refuse to turn the shower poison on. They would have relished it. Just doing their jobs. Fuck your jobs. And fuck you. These kids will be aging out. Sooner than you think. And then what. How about those prisons still at the Guantanamo Bay Detention Center and Torture Chambers. Blaring music. Everyone here needs a shower.

Why did you do it and who do you know.

Who believes those kids are receiving a great education. We are making felons. We do it every day. They will be interrogated, you never know who the communists are. Order in the house. Order in the House. Mr. Chairman, I move that these communist children go take a long shower. It smells bad in here. The South shall raise again. Mr. Chairman, I hold that these charges cannot be real. I did teacher training for Head Start in my abandoned youth. Hundreds of them. All women. Every last one. Suddenly, I go off like a bomb because I am the worst brat in the class and everyone knows it. Horrified and staring. This is not how teacher trainers act. “Give me a name. What is the name of this child. He is in every class. You know him. You hate him. What a verbal and physical mess. No parenting.” This is where the suggestions begin. He’s going to prison. It has been decided. Everyone white nods. I want their names. Raise your hands. They all had names. One girl. She had a name, too. The entire family works the midnight shift at the slaughterhouse. The twelve-year-old pushed blood down a drain. Failing in school. He was crazy. No. We are failing him. I want to know why the mommies don’t deal with this. Deal with this. – Tim Barrus

I have only recently discovered that the teacher who abused me had a huge family. All of them boys. That is why I don’t use his name. His children are innocent. And he is dead. Why would I want to drag this family through the horror of it. I did not know what was happening. It was confusing. I tried for years to not think about it. This guy was solidly connected. But his boys are not at fault. Why should they suffer now. I wonder how safe they were all those years. And they would. Suffer. They would be shunned by the community they live in. I am the one who did what the teacher told him to do. It is pounded into your brain right from moment 1, act 1, adults are in charge and you are a complete afterthought. Not the main event. The main event for me was living with the every moment of the abuse over and over again. Don’t tell me survivors can block it out. I have never met anyone from that tribe. Sometimes really bad people do extremely well. It happens. These people have immunity for anything they do. If you’re lucky, you get to learn how to get around them. I smile and nod a lot. But I do not look people in the eye. My eyes are a two car garage filled with rats and cats.

Foster Children in Appalachia are going hungry. Many have lost what little hope they had been clinging to. They are systemically left out of the equation on a good day. In a pandemic, the good days are few and far between. Child suicides have become common. The numbers for everything from Malaria to tuberculosis to HIV to addiction to Covid are at emergency levels. Then, hunger. Appalachia has serious food deserts. No place to buy food even if you could afford it. We are about to see diseases we thought were in the past.

Death is coming to schools. Pretending that school districts can protect children is laughable. WHERE the fuck do you live. School districts are social institutions, and they have never protected children. Ever.

Timothy Patrick Barrus, also known as Tim Barrus (born 1950), was born and grew up in Lansing, Michigan. His parents were European American, with his mother being of Scandinavian descent. At the age of 19, Barrus married Jan Abbott. Together they have a daughter named Kree, born in 1974. In 1975 they adopted Tommy, a boy who Barrus said had severe developmental problems. After two years, they turned him back to the state, finding they were unable to care for him adequately. Barrus and Jan later separated and divorced. He moved to San Francisco and later Key West. Barrus remarried in 1993 in San Francisco, to a special education teacher named Tina Giovanni. Barrus began publishing articles in the late 1970s, primarily for the gay leather magazing Drummer, where he worked as an associate editor. After his move to Key West in 1984, he also wrote for The Weekly News, a local gay newspaper. From 1985 to 1992, he published five novels, all dealing with homosexuality in different genres. Titles included Mineshaft and My Brother My Lover. While some were favorably reviewed, he never broke into mainstream acceptance. His novel Genocide was recognized as an early contribution to AIDS literature, described by critic Toby Johnson as “dark and pessimistic.” He is credited by Jack Fritscher with coining the term “Leather Lit.” In connection with his book Anywhere, Anywhere, a novel about Americans in Vietnam during the war, Barrus said that he had been a Vietnam veteran. This account was disputed by people who knew him. In 1999, Barrus submitted an unsolicited manuscript to Esquire magazine under the byline Nasdijj. He noted to them that the magazine had never published a work by a Native American author. “Nasdijj” wrote that his essay was about the death of his adopted son from fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS), and that he also had it. His essay, “The Blood Runs Like a River Through My Dreams,” was published in Esquire in 1999 and was a finalist in the National Magazine Awards that year. #destroytheday https://www.instagram.com/p/B5-nJIyhwnI/?igshid=1jh44uyh2swcb

To this day, the stuff they did to us was a form of terrorism we will not forget. This piece does not tell anything from the real story of it.

[timbarrus]

I take kids fishing and watch them learn new things.

[timbarrus]

They made little movies. I was working with young boys who were trying to live with HIV. This scene has changed. But not much. Some had parents in prison. It was rock and roll. If there was a problem in the world, they would find it. Take social media. In order to be on social media, you have to know how to spell. Math helps, too, if you want edit your own videos. Real Stories Gallery Foundation gave them phones, gopros, computers, lap tops, tablets, books, art supplies, and hope. Everyone told me the boys would steal the tech. 10 Years of it. No one stole anything. They wore stuff out. What kind of projects can we make. This is code for What Do You Want. Make art, and talk to me. I am asking boys who would rather die than be around any adult who will tell them what to do. In Special Education, we call what we do, SPED. Some of the boys rarely talked. They had crawled up inside themselves. Boom. Tech arrives in boxes. Unexpectedly, the room got loud. With talk. Social media. A challenge. It would be a mistake to tell your Tumblr friends that you have HIV. Don't tell anyone where you live. It would be a mistake to tell your FB friends that your parents were in prison. They had seen prison, and they were scared. Parents get released. They come looking for you. You might have testified against them. Social media, too, wants conflict. Some parents did not know where their kid lived. Suicide watch is not teaching. What other kids would say shocked my boys. Can they say that. Yes.

[timbarrus]

The writing is brilliant even if I cannot agree with anything Ross Douthat says. I do not read people like me because there aren't any. What is the Other Side plotting. We need more toddlers who can plot. Hundreds of thousands of toddlers in toddler offices. I am from the Marx Institute of Leftist Fiddledeedee. And exactly who are these Leftist Suits Who Have Ruined America. Why aren't there any leftists at the NYT.  An island somewhere. You have everything else covered.

The leftists have left the hotel.

They are blamed shamelessly. But who are they. No one knows.

I need to understand so I might put this black spot on their permanent record. What are the humanities and why are they growing dark. Inquiry as punishment. That is some of us. Not all of us. The humanities originates in the Classical Greek paideia, a course of general education -- the Sophists -- in the mid-5th century bce. Young men for active citizenship in the polis, or city-state; and in Cicero’s humanitas, a program of training proper for orators, first set forth in De oratore (Of the Orator) in 55 bce. In the early Middle Ages the Church Fathers, including St. Augustine, himself a rhetorician, adapted paideia and humanitas—or the bonae (“good”), or liberales (“liberal”), arts, as they were also called—to a program of basic Christian education. We are being prepared for the meat grinder of the Stupid Machine. Where's it's always dark which is every color in the spectrum.

SPED kids Take On the School

[timbarrus]

SPED. Are you kidding me.

[timbarrus]

The effort to bring parents into this conversation as to what a school board even is, remains long overdue.

[timbarrus]

Education today is fast food to feed the pop culture vacuum that pop culture is so very good at creating.

[timbarrus]

Teaching. Or crowd control. You decide.

[timbarrus]

Every study (and there have been hundreds) that looks at education in Appalachia, looks at paradigms and data. I can’t say if that is right or wrong. What I can say is that giving up in a process. It’s not a means to an end. What I see, what I experience is more of a one on one with these kids. I do not know how you evaluate the process of giving up with data. Where does it begin. Where does it end. The numbers are not only staggering, but there are analogies and correlations.

The rate of suicide in Appalachia is also 40% higher than the national average. There are also 40% LESS mental health services in Appalachia than the rest of America. The median household income in Appalachia has remained at $20,000 for a decade. The rate of fatal overdose is TEN TIMES the national rate of deaths from opiates.

Entire families have been wiped out.

Perdu Pharma aggressively targeted Appalachian doctors with a focus on OxyContin.

Appalachia has been viciously exploited by the rest of America. A school dropout rate of almost half the children of Appalachia would suggest that the status quo is one of exploitation where hopelessness is complicit in the relationships between school failure, suicide, poverty, and addiction.

Where the fuck do you even begin to touch these numbers.

I will tell you where.

It will always be one on one with any kid whatsoever.
