During a lesson on the three branches of government, a student asked if a person could sue the President.
“Actually,” I said somewhat sheepishly. “I was the member of a lawsuit against the President back in 2017 for violating my First Amendment rights after he blocked me from his social media accounts, and in 2020, I won. The President was forced to unblock me.”
How often has something like that happened in a classroom?
One of my students, listening intently said, “Mr. Dicks, everything happens to you.”
Not entirely true, of course. Not even close. And some of those things that have happened to me aren’t great.
But I understand her point.
