Random stuff:

1. Did you spot the epic continuity error with the clothes in the first 15 minutes?

2. BEST KLAINE EPISODE EVER.

3. That look Blaine gives Kurt during "Constant Craving" -- they are fucking a lot

4. "We'll figure something out" -- again, Blaine is TOTALLY on board with the New York plan, even if he's a year behind.

5. I remain convinced that Kurt is going to get into NYADA, even with that sad, empty looking application.

6. Wow, they really down-played the Burt win. This is going to have a HUGE impact on Kurt and Finn's lives. Curious to see where we go.

7. Glad we finally have a parent-type figure who is unaccepting of a kid's sexuality. However, it still felt too easy -- Santana is safe and has somewhere to go. Was also interested that gay teen suicide was openly acknowledged.

8. "I Kissed A Girl" as a response to the douchebag rugby captain was FANTASTIC.

9. Did feel the episode was very murky about choice and sexual orientation. I actually hate the "it's all just how you're born" argument, but I didn't like this lack of clarity either.

10. I was uncomfortable with Finn's big plan. While it was touching in the end, it felt very concern troll-y and just because Santana had been outed didn't mean she had to be out.

11. Rachel! I cannot believe that your first response was "but I'll get suspended."

12. You'd think a girl with two dads would be less of an asshole about Kurt as a gay best friend accessory

13. Again, Kurt's clothes post 3.05 -- super feminine. I have thoughts, but perhaps no one wants them. Some of them are pervy.

14. So, Kurt's bullying arc is closed now. His struggles are going to be everyone else's now -- his future, his relationship, etc. So hang on.

15. Man, I cannot believe (in previews for next week) that those spoilers about Sam are true.

16. I can't believe that in one breath Puck was smart enough to acknowledge how broken Quinn is and in the next TOLD HER ABOUT SHELBY. STUPID STUPID STUPID.

17. Sugar Motta and the unicorn gesture, I love you.

18. Beiste! I predict the top selling songs of this ep will be "Perfect" followed by "Jolene."

It's not about can do no right/can do no wrong; it's about the hidden curriculum and the way that race issues, sexuality issues, class issues and student reputations play into the way teachers respond to different students. The indigenous students, the poor students, and the 'bad' students I taught pretty much expected to be called on the carpet even when they didn't do anything wrong, and the white, middle-class 'good' kids expected to get away with it when they did some pretty awful things - because that's how teachers had treated them, consistently and without even realising they were doing it, for most of their schooling.

Schue is not as good a teacher as he thinks he is, and we've seen, on-screen, that he doesn't just overlook this, he actively works to avoid paying attention to minority issues (the 'We're all minorities because we're in glee club' rot from the end of 'Throwdown', among other things) - and that Finn gets favourable treatment from him when it's not earnt, too.

Finn beat Puck up in front of two teachers and got away with it. Lauren beat Santana up in front of a teacher and got no punishment. Santana slapped Finn once across the face and got hauled to the principal's office and threatened with suspension. I can't help feeling like the fact that she's a troubling girl - a tough, aggressive, brown, queer girl - has something to do with that.

Ia so hard with this.

Also in NBK: When Karofsky attacked Kurt Mr. Shue noticed and took Kurt to his office where he admitted to be aware of Kurt's bullying.
Kurt even stated that Will(and the rest of the teachers) was/were too lax when it came to homophobic bullying in the school.
So Will not only was aware that Kurt was getting harassed, but also witnessed Kurt getting harassed and still did not haul Karofsky's ass to the principal in NBK.
