An organization one may think is a sad parody of the ACLU but is indeed a real organization that is the exact opposite of the ACLU. The American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) was founded by fundamentalist Christian televangelist Pat Robertson to turn the United States into a theocracy via the Supreme Court. It is currently run by fellow neoconservative Jay Sekulow and headquartered in Washington DC (next door to the National Pro-life Action Center and right down the street from the courts, no less).

It is a known fact that many students from Robertson's Regent University start their political careers by interning at this organization.
After the ACLJ sued my school district we were forced to say prayers to Jesus every morning before class. Fuck you, ACLJ.

Acttechenacting

The word “acttechenacting” or “acttechenactic” in its adjective form has come into being through my evolutions of observing teaching.

Acttechenacting is defined as: ones ability to perform in a manner that conveys knowledge pertaining to technology. This is a form of word evolution, and the word can be broken down into its constituent roots of ‘act’, ‘technology’, ‘enact’ and ‘ic’. Acttechenacting encompasses the evolutionary process of adaptation; to have various unconscious acts of technology evolve into rehearsed conscious acts of knowing within the classroom. But teaching should not stop there, instead it should prosper into a fluidity-like state similar to the dynamic term acttechenacting. This unconscious to conscious evolution taking place within the individual, is constantly adapting to suit the needs of the educational environment.
That teacher was Acttechenacting !!!!!
