I'm one of the few teachers in a TEXAS school that would probably be labeled right wing even though my economic philosophy aligns with the French philosopher Proudhon and the American heterodox economist Henry George.

Nearly half my district moved to devote an entire week to teaching Black Lives Matter. I had to go to the district meeting and point out that their proposed curriculum violated civil rights law to get the idea scrapped & I suspect I only succeeded because the state recently put my superintendent on alert for telling people to vote for politicians who oppose school choice.

You need to make sure your child's English & Social Studies teachers know at the start of the semester you will go ham on them if they try to be partisan. I teach science - physics - so I'm mostly immune from ever having to deal with controversial topics but I've had students try to get me to talk about politics and I refuse. I want to say I'm not the exception to the rule but that's increasingly not the case.

When I have kids one day, they will all be homeschooled. I will never send them to be indoctrinated by the psychopaths running our institutions. My children will not grow up to hate themselves for being white, being male, being straight, or just existing. They will not grow up to think everyone else hates them and that they are a perpetual victim. They will not grow up to hate their own country when it’s the only free one left (at least as of this moment). They will not grow up thinking the government owes them everything and they don’t need to work for it. They will not grow up thinking about what sexuality they are when they’re not even done going through puberty. I hope every other millennial wakes up and takes a stand too. We need to raise new generations of people who are smart and intelligent, not brainwashed and weak sheep.
