They adding another dome?
Bloody obvious rhetorical questions: why are teachers paying for these things out of their own pockets in the first place? Who thought that giving a tax deduction was an acceptable solution to that? Why should a child’s education depend on unreliable charity? Why should a teacher be faced with the choice between supporting their students and supporting their family?

Because it’s not in the budget. Maybe next year…
It’s very reasonable to distrust gun laws coming from a white supremacist government. On that, though, I’ll note no gun control ever (we’ll just arm the police even more and let them handle things) has generally been their first choice.
Teachers do it because otherwise their students will be at a disadvantage. Most teachers (like my sister) would rather spend their own money than tell kids that they just don’t get to participate in an activity everyone else is doing, because there isn’t enough money.
Sure, they shouldn’t have to, but the alternative is looking a kid in the face and telling them that they lose out. At least in the school were my sis teaches, those kids lose out a lot, and she has a soft heart.
Second Baptist spokesman Daniel Card confirmed that the church has numerous flags flying outside representing the countries to which missionaries have been sent during the ministry’s inception.
“We’ve been flying the flags for years,” Card told Chron.com, adding that the composition of the photo is misleading.

That’s clearly a racist nose drawn, but Sanders does has a prominent bridge like almost all human being on Earth. Trying to say it’s a snub nose isn’t going to help anyone.
I have also heard that exaggerated nostrils are used to depict communists before, but I don’t now how accurate that is.
It reminds me of White and Nazi-collaborationist propaganda posters:
Interesting history related to that:
TLDW: near the end of WWI, the Western powers tried to leverage Russian Zionism into opposition to the Bolsheviks. It didn’t work.
From the original link:
It does appear likely that they’re doing it as a sign of pro-Trump/Putin allegiance.
The primary opponents/victims of the Nazis were communists and Jews. They tended to classify all opposition as Jewish Bolshevism (see “cultural Marxism” for the modern equivalent), and deliberately mixed the iconography of the two groups in their propaganda.

However: the reason for that post was broader than that specific cartoon.
The left see the right wing Democrats as intensely racist/classist/homophobic/etc, and to my eyes they have good reason to do so. Bigoted dickishness from the #Resistance and #StillWithHer crew forms a constant drumbeat on Twitter, and the history of the Dems on these issues is not good.
