As a principal, it is not getting any better. Each year our Illinois Legislature sends us more "Mandated Units of Study" that we have to find the time to teach. These are getting more and more SJW and we are getting irritated because we have actual content standards that we need students to know. Some schools are led by crazy libs and do this themselves, but, in Central Illinois, we are forced to include more and more propaganda.
I am thinking of how to register my complaint without ruining my kid's life. Lot of black kids and teachers at the school and they think this is brilliant factual data and if you disagree you are racist.
I am pulling my kid out of public school. That's one form of complaint. Sucks to pay taxes for it still.
Ruining your kid's life? You should be more concerned about ruining your kid's soul. When I was growing up, my mother was an absolute attack dog when my school would feed my brain bullshit she didn't like and it was embarrassing af at the time but I appreciate it so much now. If you're fearless in your conviction, people will back down. The devil flees when confronted with righteousness. My mom has since graduated to confronting BLM activists in the neighborhood and telling them this isn't Africa and they need to fall in line or shut up and leave.
Yes but every other kid in the class is already programmed to think this is all true and that if you don't like this you are racist. I complain and then pull my kid out at the end of the year and those commie teachers will make it obvious that my kid is out because I am a racist. And I don't care but my kid is trying to preserve at least a bit of friendship with some of these kids. It's not that easy. I'll try but my kid is the first priority. I already made my other kid absolutely break down in terror earlier because I called his teacher over a similar thing.
I understand what you’re saying, it’s so hard. And 14yo kids don’t want to stand out in any way, I know my kid practically has a fit any time I even think about calling the teacher! I find the important thing is to give your kid the context that school isn’t giving him - the crime rates, the drug use, and the broken families that (imo) are the foundation of it all. Above all, make sure he learns not to judge people by the colour of their skin.
Illinois' SJW trends within its education system were one of the top 5 reasons for my family leaving our farmstead which had remained in our family since the state was known as The Northwest Territory. The primary 2 being taxes (that damn fuel tax property taxes in particular) and bullshit gun legislation.

Tell the teacher that not using sources for these statistics is unacceptable.
"You are teaching kids to not think critically and just accept everything they are taught without question. You are a bad teacher, etc. "
Lot of black students and teachers. That will be heard as:
"I'm a racist, racism, racist, racists, I am racist and racist racist, and finally, I'd like to conclude with I'm racist."
I'll try if I get the chance but my kid really would be severely singled out.
Your story is making me depressed. I think I need to get offline this weekend.

I would like to apologize on behalf of Crook County for screwing the rest of the state. Just nuke this place from orbit.
Don't forget to take your check ...
