Let me preface this by stating that my son is responsible for his own actions. He could have been expelled from his after-school curriculum because he wasn’t listening to teacher, that is entirely possible. The sole reason I don’t think that is the case in this particular circumstance is the details O gathered from both my son and my daughter.
We all know that most kids will follow their parents’ politics. We have the biggest influence on their perceived political leanings. I run a split household, my ex and her husband both voted for Trump. My son and my daughter were part of an after-school program in lieu of paid child care. They did mostly activities but also homework time to get a leg up on the classes they were taking.
My son is a white male. I don’t think that race and sex should play a role in the situation because I’m colorblind but it bears worth mentioning. My son recently got in trouble for not listening to the teacher when she gave an instruction. I’m not going to say that my son is not responsible for his own actions, that’s liberal shit.
That being said, when my son was kicked out of after-school care, he was grounded for two weeks. I don’t disagree with the punishment, it was very inconvenient for my ex and her new baby daddy to have to switch schedules to accommodate him. When I started asking some questions, that’s when my perception shifted.
First of all, I had spoken with my ex beforehand about the issue. There were already some holes in the argument that the class was being run properly. My ex had challenged one of the teachers (all of them are young twentysomethings) about their due process and what constituted expulsion. Furthermore, ever since last October politics started becoming a major topic for my kids in school. When I say that I mean I would pick them up and they would immediately tell me how cliques had been forming based on who liked which particular candidate, and if you liked Trump you weren’t allowed to be friends with the Biden cliques. Balkanizing the schools, basically. My younger daughter’s friends told her they wouldn’t be her friend unless she liked Biden. She had to play along just to have friends.
So I dared to ask the question as to whether the teachers in the aftercare program talked politics with them at all. He immediately said yes. I asked what they said and the particular teacher singling my son out had been saying how she couldn’t wait until Biden was elected, and one of my son’s friends whom was later involved in the last-straw incident agreed with her. No problem there, kids are too young to make an informed political decision... someone else is always making it for them.
Now here’s where things go sideways. My son, and my daughter, both told me that the teachers asked them who they wanted to be president. Mind you, politics has no business in elementary school, unless it’s to practice freedom of choice. In a democracy, everyone is free to make their own choices without fear of reprisal. We did it when I was in fourth grade and it was a fun exercise.
When my son told the teacher he wanted Trump, she said verbatim “Oh, so you’re one of them.” What the fuck is that supposed to mean? And why is it that when my son was with the pro-Biden kid (he’s African American, but again color has no bearing on this, at least I hope), they both went to the office, and my son was expelled but the other kid spends five minutes in there and goes back to class? That’s bullshit.
These people are not only brainwashing our children but are brainwashed themselves. They probably think that by dealing some type of economic blow to Trump supporting families they’re somehow winning. They already got their sham election, what else do they need to take from us?
Again, I’m not saying my son did nothing wrong. I’m not saying he doesn’t deserve punishment, and I can’t prove that politics played a hand in this. However, it sure does seem awfully fucking stinky and if that’s the case where the hell would I start? The school board is probably complicit so they would turn a blind eye, and for all I know the superintendent couldn’t give two shits either. It’s a sad moment when political divides start affecting our children and their education.
My son is a wholesome kid. He doesn’t swear, he’s learned firearm safety very early as well as marksmanship (he’s only shot real guns once and he’s 10 now), he listens to Tom MacDonald on Spotify and he likes learning about science and STEM fields. I think he has a bright future. Without proper guidance that could go off the rails quickly. I hate to sound like I’m ranting but I care about my kids and I don’t want them to be bullied over something they have no real grasp of, just what they hear second-hand from authority figures.
Why aren't you suing them?
Why aren't you home-schooling?
I don’t have that freedom. We both work full time and I want my kids to be able to socialize with others. Far be it from me to recommend public schooling over any other option, but this is what we’re limited to. Private schools are near non-existent in our area.
The anti-social aspect of homeschooling is a myth. I was homeschooled until high school then went to private. I make a good living in sales. My employer bets millions of dollars on my EQ. My colleagues who hear I was homeschooled are always astonished because I don’t fit the homeschooling stereotype they have been fed. It’s a myth to believe that homeschooling will make you anti-social.
Bad socializing is worse than no socialization. Are you not able to put your child in sports, find other parents who home-school (there are often groups) and church to socialize?
You are doing your child a disservice by putting him in school. You can afford to home-school and it'd be better overall for your family life. With more time at home, you can cook literally everything from scratch which will save you some money, you don't need to pay for any daycare, you likely don't need two vehicles anymore, etc...
The need two parents working is marxist propaganda. You are the richest people to have ever lived on this planet. We'll never beat the liberals if we don't home-school and if we believe we need both parents working. You're working within their system when you do that and over time they'll simply win the culture war.
Hitler said it best:
When you put your child in an academic institution you are basically giving your child away to the State. With social media, internet, hollywood, etc... raising kids these days, you need to spend even more time with your child, not less, to ensure they are raised well and don't become another State drone.
You missed the part where I said I have kids with my ex. We are a split household, and between her and her new husband working full time along with me, there’s still not enough to go around. You sound like a baby boomer. Back in the 60s and 70s, the boomers made more than we do now adjusting for inflation. Bank account/security interest rates were higher, and goods were cheaper, even with adjusting for inflation.
I just spent a hundred bucks at the grocery store and got way less food than I typically get for the same price. Hyperinflation is starting to kick in from the trillions dumped into the economy in the last year, and I haven’t gotten a raise in two years. Again, I’d love to home school my kids, if I could.
Muslims home-school with the wife not working with jobs paying less than you. You're trapped into a false lie regarding what you can and cannot afford. You're living outside of your means. Not a baby boomer. Just a millennial who is tired of my generation living these lies fed to them by slave drivers looking to turn women into nothing more than wage slaves, children into nothing more than State Drones and completely disrupt the nuclear family. Women working is one of the biggest problems of our generation. We got along fine for thousands of years and now in the last 60 all of a sudden it's too expensive despite this generation having the most wealth and technology ever? lmao.
That is one thing that shows you are doing something well.
