together, you understand how painful this is. as for community, especially after what s happened in the last few weeks, and let s not forget it took those officers that go in and neutralize the threat. in terms of trying to put a stop to this, but so many questions about will this be the last time will there be another? how do they move forward? how do they stop it? and teachers like kevin here are feeling that pain on the day to day basis, fred yes, very emotional for mr foster there, and for so many. that s why you ve got the dozens of people who are out there. protesting really in the name mostly right in the name of protecting children in schools, so i wonder ryan, have you learned if there is this feeling that this expulsion is eminent are those lawmakers gloria johnson, justin jones, justin pearson, are they saying whether they expect to come out and speak after this vote? um you know, i think that s that s the part here that republicans definitely have control and they
legislators whose expulsion is being voted on today. they spoke for me, and i figured being here was the least the least that i could do for them today as a teacher. how concerned are you for your students and for where we are as a country with all the shootings. i don t know what to say to them. when i go to school every day. they they asked me if i can keep them safe. and i i m i lie. i told them i can, but i feel like i can t you wanted to be a teacher for a reason. did you ever think you ll be confronting this sort of situation in our country? i can see the emotion in you right now . what is this, like to go to school every day with this concern? it s just it s deeply deeply painful. um you know, it s just you just feel powerless and yeah, i it s deeply painful. the other side may say, look, we can t
tough guy. um you know, there are barriers to getting mental health and stigmas attached, and those barriers are greater in communities of color and their greater for men. and so what he did was really, really important . look depressions, a liar, so is anxiety and convinces you of things that are not true that you re not okay. you re not doing well. you re not as good as you should be etcetera. and i know from my own experience the way he s feeling about his mental health today will evolve . he might not realize how dire a situation it was until he unpacks that over time, because as you say, doctor, you can t just go somewhere for six weeks. if you re okay. he used the term that i ve never heard before, he said. i m happy to say my depression is in remission. i have never heard of somebody. you tend to think of it. well i ve been cured. my depression is better. but he said, my depression is in remission, which i just thought was an
books. there gonna be a documentaries about this century in the next century. this it s never happened before. it s huge, i think for progressives and democrats, there s this mixed feeling. on the one hand, there s this feeling that finally something may happen. some accountability may happen for a president that people have been feel like it s been getting away with stuff forever. he was getting away with stuff here in new york. i remember when he was in the in the oval office. people call me every day. is he getting impeached to remove tomorrow? so you on the one hand you have democrats have been wanting wanting for something to happen at the same time. there is this nervousness we don t know what s in the deck dump documents. we don t really know what is going to be revealed tomorrow. is this going to be? you know, a big slam dunk case? is it gonna be so convoluted that it s not gonna work and so i think that you re going to have both sides wondering at the end of the day we have a
six weeks. that danger had to persist. so this is actually a treatment refractory depression . in some sense, it wasn t something where they could start a medication. say okay, everything looks good. the plan looks set he can be set up to follow up with outpatient psychiatrists. it looked like it was pretty intense, and he already had some structural changes in the brain from his stroke. so it s probably a major obstacle to your thoughts. well you know, having struggled with my own mental health and talked about it. i just want to say how brave this was for him to talk about. so honestly and emotionally, especially this might sound weird. as a big, tough guy. um you know, there are barriers to getting mental health and stigmas attached, and those barriers are greater in communities of color and their greater for men. and so what he did was really, really important . look depressions, a liar so as anxiety and convinces you things that are not true that you re
