ezs note:  Even if there is only one reason to dump Donald Trump (and trust me, there are many, many more) lifetime appointments are definitely one.  Even if you live in a small town, every bit helps in removing this monster from our society.

ezs note:  Okay.  Mr. Vlaming is a devout Christian, I don't doubt that.  Tell me, sir, how many times does Jesus say that teachers address their students?  I'll give you a hint:  HE DOESN'T.  No matter priests or ministers contort this simple fact, it still remains a fact.  I feel for those students who like Mr. Vlaming, but his buffoonish behavior merits his dismissal.
