OMG this is a 100% real tweet from Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona:
Today’s #LoveTeaching theme is “Tremendous Tuesday” where we are challenged to tell a 6-word story that describes why you #LoveTeaching. Mine is:
The smile on a student's face.

And the secretary’s tweet is “so perverse it has to be cruelty”:
Are you effing kidding me? What smile? My daughter’s teachers have never seen her dimples.
This is so perverse it has to be cruelty. https://t.co/n6KuVasLMD

If it were only trolling, that would be okay. These clowns don’t think they’ve done anything wrong:
They're trolling you. https://t.co/3Iar94PK2M

I mean. Help me out here.
Hacked?
Trolling?
Oblivious?
Depraved?

American parents' six-word story:
You failed our children. Fix it. https://t.co/9XoHL12Afs

Which is it, Mr. Secretary: “don’t understand” or “don’t care”?
It's disturbing that you either don't understand the irony of this tweet or don't care.
Are you purposely trolling parents, because I would expect more from someone in your position.
Our children do not get to show their smile or see them. Remember?
