So are Governors. Illinois just made law that teachers must teach lgbtq and probably p too history in schools, and to now purchase 'non-discriminatory" books, whatever the fuck that means.
Parents should know that they and their children are under consistent attack but many are so self absorbed and just too busy to see past their noses. They stay busy every day with their jobs. There used to be at least one parent who could guard the family but having both work a full time job just to stay afloat keeps all non violent, immediate threats completely ignored.
Sure is convenient how feminism encouraging women to enter the workforce doubled the labor supply and cut the value of labor in half, isn't it? Now the corporate world gets two workers for the same value they used to pay one, .gov gets double the income taxes, and most people trying to build a traditional family unit require two incomes to get by so they have to give their children over to the state for indoctrination as a form of daycare.
That’s easier said than done. Indoctrination in college and on social media makes it very difficult once they get into their teens. It’s an everyday battle.
Teachers have fooled people for years into convincing people they are underpaid and overworked. However, look at the salaries, plus the benefits. Look at the time off. Not too many professions afford two weeks at Christmas, a week at Spring Break, summer time off, holidays and days off scattered throughout the year, a pension, health coverage...they have many people fooled. I worked in teaching before my children were born. Do not be fooled.
I never understood their grievances, other than many kids really do suck, but a lot of teachers specifically chose that profession and men in the field usually had a summer gig.
Ironically, the reason a lot of the kids suck is because their dysfunctional behavior is indulged by liberal teachers who are terrified of being accused of racism. "The soft tyranny of low expectations" might be the greatest single factor damaging black and Hispanic students in 2020.
I have been in education and watched this dynamic play out with my own eyes.
My favorite is when they wail about how low their salaries are, they have to find summer jobs. So they have to work all year round. You know. Like EVERYONE ELSE.
A trip to any winery or mall in the middle of the summer time will quickly illustrate they are not spending 8 hours a day, 5 days a week prepping for the school year.
I dated two teachers and they only prepped maybe a week or two before school opened. Once you've been teaching the same course a couple of years in a row, there's very little to do.
We all know lefties are good for their double standards. I love to hear them defend public unions like teacher's unions in one breath, then in the next condemn police unions. The problem that I have with unions is that they essentially flatten the bell curve, worst teachers, best teachers, all get the same treatment when some should lose their positions, while others should be rewarded. That's how unions work by design and they only seem to have a problem with them when it's the worst police officers that are protected. Hey here's a solution, how about no forced unions?
I've mentioned this previous, my school system outside of Boston is introducing "anti-racist curriculum" starting at the kindergarten level next year. Fucking sickos. My town is 99 percent white.
Well the Kung-Flu has been a blessing as it shut the school down and I was able to teach them practical academics. My wife and I have already committed to teaching them ourselves next year.
This, if true, just makes me sad. We've elevated what should be considered abuse to some status that we're supposed to celebrate. A confused (even if it is a deep psychological issue) kid who needs help.
And in this case... someone is influencing multiple kids at a time. Probably driven by their own twisted adult agenda.
It's okay to be a girl, nothing wrong with it, it's normal, in fact, beautiful and courageous. What, you think girls are second class? Some boys block their puberty. They take special medication. And then at 18 they cut off their dicks. They can enter into the identity market then, which resembles the alt-coin cryptocurrency game. Kid, this is normally inaccessible to you, as a straight white male, but all you have to do is cut off your dick, and you're with us and we will make sure you are taken care of. We'll have jobs for you. Special mod powers. Trans men make the most excellent censors. After all, if the scheme falls, the ultimate horror dawns ..
Symptomatic of how feminism sees men tbh. TERFs recognize this instinctually, want to protect the racket.
Yes. Their KungFlu quarantine may bite them in the ass with education. Teachers enjoyed the Spring online because they could walk around the lake, garden, bake, did not have to go to work or stay there all day-most teachers were not putting in a full day of work. Many parents had to work full time and then come home and help their children learn. It was a challenge, but guess what? No liberal ideas infiltrating our children’s head. No glorifying the Indians and making it seem like they were non violent and perfect (what they tried to push on my boys) and completely innocent and white man bad. No gender studies this and health class with a unit of 57 sexualities...
For reasons I will not get into, I recently listened to a history teacher teach about the colonization of North America. The entire unit was basically a non-stop screed against evil wypipo. Not once - LITERALLY not once - was it mentioned that the Indians might have some negative characteristics, and that the Europeans might have brought something positive to the table. It is straight up propaganda, 100%.
What really struck me as an American, was that the culture of the Indians, and the difference between tribes, was not even addressed. It's like the course designers weren't even interested in the actual reality of the Indians, they were only useful as props to attack the white Europeans.
It would blow their tiny little minds if someone explained to them just how bloodthirsty some Native American tribes were towards each other. Just because they didn't have written history doesn't mean there wasn't horrifying slaughter.
Also, that glorious, so-advanced Aztec civilization in Mexico that tragically died out after Spain arrived? They were still practicing human sacrifice, centuries after the Magna Carta. Tell me again how somehow the Europeans were the uncivilized group here.
Most of my life growing up, I was never taught how bad the Indians actually we're. Sure there were some tribes that kept to themselves, but for the most part, these people were straight up savages.
All that was taught to me was white people being savages and killing off every Indian they came across.
If people know anything whatsoever about the real ethnographic research on Indians they quickly realize they were very diverse. Extreme differences in languages and ways of life. It's such a joke to me the protests from Lakota about Mt. Rushmore, the Lakota, are you kidding me? This was almost the only tribe met by Lewis and Clark that were such belligerent assholes, it came to violence. Everyone hated their guts, including the other Indians. Read the Lewis and Clark journal, it's a real eye opener on a lot of levels. What I mean is, why the F are the Lakota supposed to be speaking for all native Americans? That's bullshit.
My boys are/were in kindergarten and in my town they don't give them hardly any practical work. It's a system called social emotional learning. The kids are literally graded for their expected emotional and social skills. It's terrible. So it was pretty easy for me to just have them write the alphabet each day, read to them, have them read to themselves. This site has tons of great shit. I'd say we worked for 3 hours solid per day and then mountain biked. They learned more with me in 3 months at home during the lock down than they would have the entire year combined.
No. Some parents have to work. Some are not equipped to homeschool. There are several reasons one may send their kids to public school (we do). But it is important to pay attention to what they are being taught so you can step in and correct when you see something you know is BS. Talk to your kids. Look in their folders and books. See what they are reading. Be prepared to have discussions and keep them on track.
Public schools aren't going away, even with school choice. The best way to reform the schools is an actively participating parent community.
Also, a lot of parents do not realize how much propaganda is not chosen by the teacher but is mandated through the administration, school boards, and guidance counselors. It's like playing whack-a-mole, but find a based and/or cynical teacher and they can point you on the direction from which the Barbara Streisand flows. You might be surprised at how many teachers are against it, too.
And as everyone should know by now, the left's working definition for 'racist' is 'white', so those kids are about to have anti-white curriculum shoved down their throats.
It makes me wonder who the hell buys into what these bullshit salesmen are selling and how people don’t see that this is going to be used to indoctrinate little kids with left wing politics. We wouldn’t be raising racist kids but that should be the parents job, not the school’s. I would bet all of my money that this will be used to brainwash the kids under the guise of fighting racism.
Stay vigilant and make sure you’re involved in your kids education.
What's been happening is that the hard left took control of education training schools, and they have been using that control to maximum effect to brainwash their trainees. This has been going on since the 1960s at least and now they are in total control. Humanities courses reinforce this. It doesn't help that the average education major is not that bright anyway, so they lack the background or propensity to question what they are taught.
Also, the system as a whole took advantage of naive, trusting white parents. There are a lot of white parents, maybe most, who have no idea of what their children are actually being taught.
No, that's the thing. We are out of the loop. The school committee is just 5 crazy cat lady libs, they don't even pretend to represent the town. They just do what they do and everybody obeys, especially the teachers.
It sounds like you've already committed to home schooling, so this may not help you. I think most if not all school boards are elected positions. First step, keep informed on school board elections and vote for people who represent your values. Stand for office if necessary.
Second, stay informed on school board issues. School board meetings are public records. School board members represent you, the parent and/or taxpayer. They do not represent the teachers union or the government. They work for you. Contact them or otherwise apply pressure if they are not acting in your interests.
Third, pay attention to what is going on in school. Lessons, teachers, other students, curricula, extra-curricular programs. If there is a problem, apply pressure to the principal and escalate to the school board.
Lastly, do not be afraid to be an asshole. Even for those of you living behind enemy lines, you still have rights and can win if you are willing to dig in and persist. I see a lot of people on here and IRL nope'ing out of public education for their sanity and safety. I fully respect that, but realize that by doing so, we are leaving the battlefield and many possible allies to the enemy. If you are willing and able, fight.
Yeah although many of them get awoke right before or after 30, and teachers cant get past kids raised by conservative families that taught them well.
My ex wife is a voracious liberal (happened to me too lol) challenge here is to ensure my son understands the truth and not the Democrat lie. He's 10 and already asking questions wtf is going on.
Yep, I aced basically all of my tests in school and my grade was suffering because I kept forgetting to submit my homework. I found come end of the year that, had students failed every test but submitted all of their homework on time then they would have an A in the class. This was said by my junior high science teacher to the class.
Absolutely. Since I’m near the top of my class, I’m often surrounded by these sorts of people. I can’t stand them.
Instead of learning HOW to think, they learn WHAT to think. This is pervasive in nearly every class and subject.
English: “read this leftist novel talking about how bad racism is. Now, I’ll tell you what I think every stupid color or flower symbolizes. Make sure you memorize every quote in the novel for the test!” Meanwhile, most students can’t even write with proper grammar.
History: “Let’s spend half our curriculum talking about how bad slavery and Jim Crow was. Then, let’s talk about how bad Herbert Hoover was and how FDR saved everyone with his big-government programs.” Meanwhile, most kids can’t name half the presidents and have never read the constitution.
Chemistry: “This is a list of the types of problems you’ll have to know for the test. If you have a problem saying ‘how much mass do you need to do ___’, multiply __ and divide __.” If they get a type of problem they’ve never seen before, most wouldn’t be able to figure out what to do.
Math: “If you want to do ___, memorize this specific formula.” Meanwhile, they have no clue why the formula work, where it came from, or any intuition behind it. They spend all their time memorizing it.
Computer Science: Most kids didn’t learn how to program “in general”, they only learned how to do very specific things in specific cases. Many kids don’t understand scope or type at all.
I could go on. No wonder nearly every single person who gets good grades is a leftist. They are absolutely tied to the system. They won’t be able to live on their own or think and reason on their own. Every problem they’ve ever faced is something a teacher told them exactly how to solve.
Older people bred and fed these young people into the communist monsters they are. Rich people feed them these lies too. Look at the McCloskeys in STL. Liberals who support BLM and all their rich neighbors condemning them for defending their private property.
The mental illness of liberalism is alive and well in the older generations and it has mutated into outright communism and hate for America in the younger generations.
Have you ever lived in an urban area or spent time in academia? How do you think young people got so brainwashed?
During my freshman year of college practically the entire school of health professions at my university was mandated to attend a lecture presented by Jane Elliot, a white, geriatric atheist communist bitch from the cornfields of Iowa, of all places, who went on a two hour hate filled screed about America, Republicans, and white people. She is known for her racist Brown Eyes/Blue Eyes study where she gave preferential treatment to those with brown eyes and openly discriminated against those with blue eyes/fairer skin.
My professors loved every second of her presentation. They were all over 50 and were not shy about being left wing. Older folks, as a whole, are more conservative certainly but there is a good percentage of elderly who are true believers or still think the Democrats are the party of the little guy. Have a good day.
Just because you're a good man and the people in your network are too, doesn't mean they don't exist. The amount of old far left professors I had is too many to count.
You can thank Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn for that - Their maleficent influence on public education through teachers unions can-not be understated.
In the 1960, the trust fund baby - Bill Ayres, was afraid to go to Viet-Nam, just like a whole bunch of 18 year old boys were. But in order to get out of it he conned his friends into what he called a anti-war movement, some of them went to jail, some died - but Bill Ayres didn't.
A few years ago he published a book that he acknowledged himself as author, unlike when he ghost-wrote Obama's fake memories for him. The self image he put on the cover was of him posed as the "cool revolutionary" persona he used to dazzle all those barely literate Education Majors at teachers at each and every teachers conference year after year.
Was he the one who told provided huge cover for incompetent/lazy teacher by telling them "never fail a child" because doing so would irreparable damage to the child psyche.
The fact that they have greater contempt for the country that ended slavery than those who still practice it shows that they aren't intellectually honest people. More white people died to end slavery in America than any other country in the world. Change my mind.
The Civil War was not about the abolition of slavery until after general Lee’s failed attempt to capture Washington D.C. It is believed that the reason the announcement came after is because the North had a lot of failed attempts to invade West Virginia and that that would be seen as smokescreen to hide a failing administration.
We all realize that most major events like this don't have a simple dichotomy between good and evil, but an array of factors leading to the escalated conflict into war. The south will still never be able to escape the fact that slavery was one of their stated reasons for war. The North we will always have the "freed the slaves" narrative on their side despite the emancipation proclamation conveniently only freeing slaves in territory not controlled by the North. The North still consisted of abolitionists, and the south still consisted of slavery proponents. Not all Northern or Southern soldiers had slavery on their mind when they were killed, granted. No war can be broken down that simply.
It’s true. I’m a teacher (or was) and we don’t even teach American government or economics any more. The history textbooks cover many events but gloss over the virtues of the founding fathers and the great strides of this nation, focusing instead on a slanted indoctrination. When I have children, they will be homeschooled and taught to love this country and memorize key foundational documents. I have had to educate myself as an adult to make up for the lack of a childhood education. I encourage all pedes to look into Classical Historian curriculum, which uses the Socratic method to teach American exceptionalism.
Same here. We do teach the Constitution and civics, but it's very watered down compared to what I was taught (a lot of this has to do with reading and math levels -- the basic comprehension is way down for both, especially reading). Then again, everything is watered down...because we don't teach to the same standards anymore.
This problem has many reasons:
No Child Left Behind (thank you W)
Common Core (thank you O); it opened the door for other, worse curriculums that were coming down the pike (yes, this stuff you see now was being planned 8 years ago, and brought out into the open 4 years ago...if you've gone to any education conferences you know who I'm talking about and what they were saying; if it makes people feel somewhat better, many teachers were not cool with it, but there was a distinct atmosphere of bullying...you'd better not speak out...or else)
Textbooks!!!! (I've been on this for years; nobody listens...the textbooks are a central part of this...and homeschoolers/charter schools are not any more immune; you can't do anything about education until you do something about the textbooks)...I don't really trust anything published after 1990 to be honest
The Teacher's unions: it's such a racket
The School boards (this is where again, you get what you vote for)
School discipline...a lot of teachers have given up just due to low quality of life (and parents....quo vadis???? but the schools could at least set some standards and keep them -- again, thank you W and O; the rot really took off in the last 20 years; I've been teaching for longer than that and noticed the difference)
I still believe we should fight for the public schools or at least something that would resemble the public schools as they were. 3 reasons:
Not every family can homeschool -- either from financial or teaching ability reasons -- their kids need to be educated too. Choice is great but we can't close the door on some because we're being served. (by the way, I've seen some really bad homeschooling as well, and have worked for bad charter schools...it isn't a magic fix; there is none)
Even if they aren't your kids, you still have to live with them -- yes, this sounds like "it takes a village", but education is a societal issue as well as an individual one...unless you're Jeff Bezos and can live in a fortress of solitude, you have to deal with society (and even he's got to do it too, a little), this connects to #1
3.PISA scores: people like to complain about those and the USA's ranking, but what it doesn't tell you is -- most countries do not test all of their students (and thus are ranked off only a portion); the USA does...in which case, education in the US is doing better than what it appears to be; I would love to see it even better, but that tells me that while the rot is bad...the foundation is solid in some areas...we can fix it; we just need the will to do so and to accept no defeats
Sorry for the rant, but this is a hot topic for me.
My wife stays at home because we don’t want to use daycare to raise our son. She loves Trump and Tucker and freely speaks around people she knows. We’ve got a half dozen liberals who know her well begging her to homeschool for them 3 days a week because even liberals with kids are deep down worried about where the school system is headed.
That's great that you can do that, perhaps something to look into for you -- some people are not in that situation, and in some states it is very difficult to do teaching co-ops.
And that's the point I'm trying to make. You may have a wonderful alternative (which is wonderful), but that doesn't mean everybody else does or can, and we still all have to live with their kids. Their kids deserve an at least passable education -- education isn't a right, it is a privilege, but we are a wealthy nation and supposedly a civilized one, so we have the privilege of being able to educate our people; therefore, we should do the best job we can for as many as we can.
There was a time when our public education system was the envy of the world, and we just let it fall through our fingers from neglect (neglect of care/thought, not money -- oh, we threw money at it like drunken sailors, but not thought/care). Time to amend that.
It's a hot topic for me, too. You seem to have a lot of insight into the institution. I want to see education fixed as quickly as possible, but that seems impossible when looking around at all of the communist mayors and governors that have revealed themselves over the past few months. Too many people that I know still care more about useless crap in their lives than they do about being made house prisoners.It seems there is only a remnant of real Americans left.
Most people are just trying to go about their lives, and to be honest in some places the lockdowns were just ignored, so it didn't affect people much...so they just went about their lives.
I have insight because I've taught (from college to elementary, ESL, LD, BD and "normal", private/charter school, public, and tutoring homeschoolers) for around 25 years (give or take a few months). And of course, I went through the educational system myself and am a parent of multiple kids.
My husband is also a teacher as well, although he hasn't taught in 2 years (works at factory), and I will likely go to the factory too when my kids go back to school....I've been blackballed from a couple institutions already for my...opinions. Time for me to tap out.
PS: it has taken this country 100 years to get into this predicament (actually, more...the progressive movement started in the late 1800s in America, and education was one of its first targets); this will not be a quick fix...but nothing easy is worthwhile; we should at least endeavor because that's what American do (or at least that's what our founding mythos says about us, and we should try to live up to it)
It seems there is only a remnant of real Americans left.
This is not true! This is what the left wants you to think - that "everyone" wants this Communist woke bullshit. It's a lie. WE ARE THE TRUE MAJORITY. Current events are leading people to think the opposite - that is exactly what they want - it's a propaganda demoralization tactic, nothing more.
Teacher here. This is 100% spot on. I'm at a top 100 (we even got to #2 once) ranked school in the state of Florida so we don't have as much BS, but we see it. Especially the discipline. It's ignored today because nobody wants bad data so discipline is hidden.
The school district here has done a pretty good job, all things considered, with discipline -- they've taken a good approach. They start tracking kids in elementary, and then, if they've been a problem, they get sent to the remedial school in jr. high (we unfortunately can't send them there before then, but at least there's a paper trail from elementary). If their behavior warrants it, they can come back to the regular school, but they have to be in separate classes for a year and can go back to remedial if they slip up. We also do a bonus shop all through elementary: kids get "dollars" for good grades/behavior/helping that they get to spend there.
But discipline starts at home; the schools can only do so much. A lot of the kids today are bad. Nothing we do works (and we can't paddle the darlings anymore). Their parents aren't much better -- example: if your kid is physically threatening other children in the class, and we discipline them...then you aren't helping if you come in complaining about what a shitty job the schools are doing, blah, blah, blah leading to trying to bully the school into not suspending your child. And the kid in question wasn't from a broken or deprived home either, to all appearances a nice, middle class family (unless you were trying to teach the heathen)...he was also 12 yo. and couldn't tie his own shoes...he come up to the teachers and pester them to do it. We were constantly sending home notes to his parents (he had both) about this and to maybe buy him some Velcro shoes or slip-ons (since they couldn't be bothered with the shoe tying lesson).
Part of me would like to compile some feedback and write a letter to the President and Betsy DeVos with suggestions/recommendations for education.
Something generalized that could fit all forms. I've worked in charter schools -- some are great, but some are not so hot...it depends upon who is running them, and a big issue is who gets hired -- just like in public schools -- to say the least about the text books (imho, overall very substandard -- text books are a racket). Same thing with homeschooling: I've seen great results...and I've seen it so bad I questioned whether or not it couldn't be considered child neglect (8 yo. who doesn't know his alphabet and is becoming obese because teacher Mommy likes to make him cookies and lets him do whatever he wants...should not be allowed to homeschool).
I really have enjoyed the Classical Historian series of textbooks, but we will have to look back to older books and original documents. I’m working my way through Know Your Bill of Rights now, and the Federalist and Anti-Federalist papers. I’ve also started to read presidential biographies. This link has some great old biographies.
I love Rand Paul too. But we need another McCarthy as well. He has been mocked as paranoid but has since been vindicated. Nobody can deny that communists have infiltrated our institutions and have propagandized our media.
This is why my highschooler is not going back in the fall and I'll be homeschooling him for his remaining two years. Due to the virus, I became his de-facto teacher anyway and saw the b.s. assignments he was given by two of his teachers with a clear leftist agenda
Same for me. I'm the student in this case and since my school is going partially online and is cancelling all extra curriculars, I will be homeschooling also.
I'm so glad that he didn't make it political last night. Of course, clown news and other dbags have said it was a culturally divisive moment, but if you actually watched it, it was a pretty safe speech. I don't see how you could watch that, and not feel United as a country. I think Trump won a bunch of people over last night. CNN was literally having every fake doctor on saying everyone will die from covid-19, that this is a racist monument, you know, the same shit they accuse conservatives of every day.
He may have shit on the far left, but I think the vast majority of Americans despise far left ideology. He never went off the cuff, which is usually when he starts making jabs. Last night was an American speech.
It's blatantly obvious there's far left fascism. He stated a fact. How do you think moderates feel about the far left saying Mt Rushmore is ja monument memorializing slave owners? Mt fucking Rushmore is racist to the far left.
Grade 8 Government and civics teacher pede checking in. There are many of us in the system working behind the scenes pushing back against the liberal agenda. The problem is that many of the admins are indoctrinated as fuck and we must be silent or be fired.
I've already requested in an official form to my school district how many illegal children am I paying for w my tax dollars in our 2 schools. Our school taxes went up 1.2 million so I requested that and I was also sent the school budget for last 2 years. Told the admin once i receive all the info i will be going over it w a fine tooth comb. I also requested a tour of the schools im paying for. I'm going to call the admin and request to know the curriculum being taught as well as what books they are using. Can't wait for Monday to ring them up!
We pulled my oldest son from public school in Utah because in the 1st grade he came home and told us he learned that someone shot a black man and killed him. We reasoned out that he was talking about Martin Luther King and wasn’t taught any other details about MLK.
The school thought it would be wise to teach 6-7 year olds about the murder of MLK instead of what the man stood for and what he did to peacefully change peoples minds about the racial divide at the time. We talked with the school the next day and they didn’t see the problem... fuck that. My wife and I made the decision that she would homeschool the children and we’d make do with only one income.
Fuck those commies, we will educate our boys on our own. By the way, it’s not easy, but it’s worth it.
I started getting annoyed with the schools here (Las Vegas) when my daughter came home and asked me if I knew who (name I didn't know) was. It was one of the girls killed in the Birmingham bombing back in the 60s. I asked her if she knew anything about Thomas Jefferson and she said no. It was then that I decided to move my kids into private school.
That's how we're the silent majority. How long will we be the majority though. Junk food and fast food will keep lowering expected life age and old people will die quickly next 10ish years and lose a large voting population for the right.
Exactly, why do you think a bunch of Democratic governors shoved COVID patients into senior care homes? It's literally an attempt to genocide a Republican leaning demographic.
What the hell kind of programming are they doing? What's the point of teaching his death without his lessons from his life? Fuck those Communist pricks. Great for you. I hope your kids do well.
Since the Mt. Rushmore celebration wasn't televised, unless you live streamed it, not enough people, and not the RIGHT people, heard that message. That is the message that he needs to get out to the public. It's simple, powerful, and true.
Why are our schools teaching kids to hate America? Why are we putting up with that? All these protestors, rioters, and general assholes have sheer blind hatred of America. Is that what the voters want? A country of people that all hate America? Do they want to vote for more of that?
It's a very simple choice voting....pro America, or anti-America.
Ah, maybe. I don't have cable, so I didn't consider that maybe cable news carried it. Pretty fucking sad that PBS, the government sponsored network didn't cover it though. To their credit, they usually air the 4th of July celebration concert in D.C. each year.
I just pulled my kid out of public school. It took a lot of prayer and thought. Reading this thread confirms my decision and I feel confident I did the right thing.
It starts in pre-school (no wonder there's a push for that to start earlier and earlier), and extends right into college.
And remember how we'd say they'd learn when they got a job in the "real world?" Now, the "real world" employers are woke, too. Just look at what's been going on in the business world now inhabited--and often led--by these flakes with entire staffs threatening to quit unless radical demands are met...and they always are.
So Trump's right. They're taught to hate their country. And they're taught to hate their parents, too--you know, the ones whose tax dollars pay those teachers and fund the schools, yet who have no say in the curriculum.
THIS should be a felony. It’s sedition in my mind. These kids will welcome in an enemy oppressor with open arms. It is so very sick and wrong. It’s exactly what Mao did - stole the minds of the children. So much so that they turned on their parents and families and neighbors.
His Twitter feed is scary, considering he is a middle school teacher. The trash he must be spewing in his classroom. Weird, his Black Mount Rushmore did not list Clarence Thomas, Thomas Sowell, or Dr. Ben Carson as options, but included Beyoncé and Tupac. Guess if you are black and conservative you aren’t really black.
Also, reading that list and I realized how many of those black authors are being taught, while they have dumped many of the white authors...
He is absolutely right. In fact, this is happening in Australia too where children are taught at school that the and that Captain Cook is the devil and "stole" Australia from the Aboriginies.
Need to download everything Trump. Label it with day and location. Then can start putting it up somewhere. I have 2015 downloaded so far. Just takes a while to do.
They were taught to hate the history of our country. They liken the founding fathers to terrorists through false equivalence arguments because they find it edgy. They ignore the real history of slavery and only focus on the tragic examples that elicit the most emotional response. And now they are all in on the climate justice bullshit which is very attractive to young minds, because who doesn't want clean air and water? You add it all up and you get a bunch of people with a huge victim mentality that have a main goal to tear things down instead of build them up.
School is definitely not what it used to be when I attended, and have run into mostly far left teachers, or teachers that just no longer care.
Companies arent just pushing pointless graphic changes because of Mr Krabs "money", but are hiring leftists into HR and recruiting which then in turn hire more leftists.
I know my company has gone this route recently, especially when they push Diversity and Inclusion nonstop, and even had a townhall on Floyd with the executive leading it wearing a "I cant breathe" shirt for everyone to see.
They cut the 'Republican Black history' out of 5th grade 'American history'
It was too much of a shock for Racist dems to see chapter of history, where America had elected a significant number of Black Representatives in the Republican party and forced Dems to 'deal with it' in the late 1800s-
Tell school you're moving. Lie to them. Fuck their records. They want school address..... tell them you don't have info yet. Do NOT say homeschool. If at all possible.... move and begin homeschool in new state. Tyranny will find you if you don't pay heed.
I was born and grew up in a third world country(Afghanistan). I have felt and seen what Taliban rule is like. I have seen what it's like to see your sisters and mother treated like second class citizens. I have seen the cruelty of the Islamic religion. Thankfully, by the mercy of God, I was adopted and taken to the United States. Seeing all these rioters and their destruction is saddening but more so angering. They don't have a clue what true suffering is. It's rather offensive to be honest to those who came to the United States to escape that hardship. Just my two cents.
If you really want to understand what has been going on with our education system you should research Charlotte Iserbyt. I was introduced to her by a pede on the old site on 2016

His second term really needs to focus on revamp the curriculum of our schools to focus on what has made America so successful. We will eventually lose if keep indoctrinating generations.
Teacher's unions are a plague on our children. More money and benefits for them and they'll tell the kids whatever the libshits want.
So are Governors. Illinois just made law that teachers must teach lgbtq and probably p too history in schools, and to now purchase 'non-discriminatory" books, whatever the fuck that means.
It worked in Germany, and now they're trying it here.
Parents should know that they and their children are under consistent attack but many are so self absorbed and just too busy to see past their noses. They stay busy every day with their jobs. There used to be at least one parent who could guard the family but having both work a full time job just to stay afloat keeps all non violent, immediate threats completely ignored.
Sure is convenient how feminism encouraging women to enter the workforce doubled the labor supply and cut the value of labor in half, isn't it? Now the corporate world gets two workers for the same value they used to pay one, .gov gets double the income taxes, and most people trying to build a traditional family unit require two incomes to get by so they have to give their children over to the state for indoctrination as a form of daycare.
That book was a hoax anyway.
That’s easier said than done. Indoctrination in college and on social media makes it very difficult once they get into their teens. It’s an everyday battle.
Can you say Fahrenheit 451?
Republicans who have to live in IL need to pull their kids out of public school
Teachers have fooled people for years into convincing people they are underpaid and overworked. However, look at the salaries, plus the benefits. Look at the time off. Not too many professions afford two weeks at Christmas, a week at Spring Break, summer time off, holidays and days off scattered throughout the year, a pension, health coverage...they have many people fooled. I worked in teaching before my children were born. Do not be fooled.
I never understood their grievances, other than many kids really do suck, but a lot of teachers specifically chose that profession and men in the field usually had a summer gig.
Ironically, the reason a lot of the kids suck is because their dysfunctional behavior is indulged by liberal teachers who are terrified of being accused of racism. "The soft tyranny of low expectations" might be the greatest single factor damaging black and Hispanic students in 2020.
I have been in education and watched this dynamic play out with my own eyes.
DEFUND THE SCHOOLS!
My favorite is when they wail about how low their salaries are, they have to find summer jobs. So they have to work all year round. You know. Like EVERYONE ELSE.
Most teachers are lousy in my experience.
I've had a handful of teachers in my life that were worth a damn.
All the others were garbage.
If the fucking teachers unions were dissolved, teachers might actually have to - gasp - be good at their jobs.
A trip to any winery or mall in the middle of the summer time will quickly illustrate they are not spending 8 hours a day, 5 days a week prepping for the school year.
I dated two teachers and they only prepped maybe a week or two before school opened. Once you've been teaching the same course a couple of years in a row, there's very little to do.
Most teachers could and should be replaced by online classes.
OUTLAW PUBLIC SECTOR UNIONS
We all know lefties are good for their double standards. I love to hear them defend public unions like teacher's unions in one breath, then in the next condemn police unions. The problem that I have with unions is that they essentially flatten the bell curve, worst teachers, best teachers, all get the same treatment when some should lose their positions, while others should be rewarded. That's how unions work by design and they only seem to have a problem with them when it's the worst police officers that are protected. Hey here's a solution, how about no forced unions?
I've mentioned this previous, my school system outside of Boston is introducing "anti-racist curriculum" starting at the kindergarten level next year. Fucking sickos. My town is 99 percent white.
If you have kids, pull them out.
Well the Kung-Flu has been a blessing as it shut the school down and I was able to teach them practical academics. My wife and I have already committed to teaching them ourselves next year.
Link?
This, if true, just makes me sad. We've elevated what should be considered abuse to some status that we're supposed to celebrate. A confused (even if it is a deep psychological issue) kid who needs help.
And in this case... someone is influencing multiple kids at a time. Probably driven by their own twisted adult agenda.
What the hell are we doing.
It's okay to be a girl, nothing wrong with it, it's normal, in fact, beautiful and courageous. What, you think girls are second class? Some boys block their puberty. They take special medication. And then at 18 they cut off their dicks. They can enter into the identity market then, which resembles the alt-coin cryptocurrency game. Kid, this is normally inaccessible to you, as a straight white male, but all you have to do is cut off your dick, and you're with us and we will make sure you are taken care of. We'll have jobs for you. Special mod powers. Trans men make the most excellent censors. After all, if the scheme falls, the ultimate horror dawns ..
Symptomatic of how feminism sees men tbh. TERFs recognize this instinctually, want to protect the racket.
It's a miracle!
Yes. Their KungFlu quarantine may bite them in the ass with education. Teachers enjoyed the Spring online because they could walk around the lake, garden, bake, did not have to go to work or stay there all day-most teachers were not putting in a full day of work. Many parents had to work full time and then come home and help their children learn. It was a challenge, but guess what? No liberal ideas infiltrating our children’s head. No glorifying the Indians and making it seem like they were non violent and perfect (what they tried to push on my boys) and completely innocent and white man bad. No gender studies this and health class with a unit of 57 sexualities...
For reasons I will not get into, I recently listened to a history teacher teach about the colonization of North America. The entire unit was basically a non-stop screed against evil wypipo. Not once - LITERALLY not once - was it mentioned that the Indians might have some negative characteristics, and that the Europeans might have brought something positive to the table. It is straight up propaganda, 100%.
What really struck me as an American, was that the culture of the Indians, and the difference between tribes, was not even addressed. It's like the course designers weren't even interested in the actual reality of the Indians, they were only useful as props to attack the white Europeans.
It would blow their tiny little minds if someone explained to them just how bloodthirsty some Native American tribes were towards each other. Just because they didn't have written history doesn't mean there wasn't horrifying slaughter.
Also, that glorious, so-advanced Aztec civilization in Mexico that tragically died out after Spain arrived? They were still practicing human sacrifice, centuries after the Magna Carta. Tell me again how somehow the Europeans were the uncivilized group here.
Just a few generations ago, it was still like that. Everybody still hates on the Cherokee for being too white.
Most of my life growing up, I was never taught how bad the Indians actually we're. Sure there were some tribes that kept to themselves, but for the most part, these people were straight up savages.
All that was taught to me was white people being savages and killing off every Indian they came across.
Fuck public schools.
If people know anything whatsoever about the real ethnographic research on Indians they quickly realize they were very diverse. Extreme differences in languages and ways of life. It's such a joke to me the protests from Lakota about Mt. Rushmore, the Lakota, are you kidding me? This was almost the only tribe met by Lewis and Clark that were such belligerent assholes, it came to violence. Everyone hated their guts, including the other Indians. Read the Lewis and Clark journal, it's a real eye opener on a lot of levels. What I mean is, why the F are the Lakota supposed to be speaking for all native Americans? That's bullshit.
Have them watch Last of the Mohicans... They'll learn a bit from that!
My boys are/were in kindergarten and in my town they don't give them hardly any practical work. It's a system called social emotional learning. The kids are literally graded for their expected emotional and social skills. It's terrible. So it was pretty easy for me to just have them write the alphabet each day, read to them, have them read to themselves. This site has tons of great shit. I'd say we worked for 3 hours solid per day and then mountain biked. They learned more with me in 3 months at home during the lock down than they would have the entire year combined.

It's k-5
That's the problem...they didnt pull out......i kid i kid
I got two kids because of that too 😂.
This isn't exactly an option for lower middle class.
No. Some parents have to work. Some are not equipped to homeschool. There are several reasons one may send their kids to public school (we do). But it is important to pay attention to what they are being taught so you can step in and correct when you see something you know is BS. Talk to your kids. Look in their folders and books. See what they are reading. Be prepared to have discussions and keep them on track.
^ This. 1000% this.
Public schools aren't going away, even with school choice. The best way to reform the schools is an actively participating parent community.
Also, a lot of parents do not realize how much propaganda is not chosen by the teacher but is mandated through the administration, school boards, and guidance counselors. It's like playing whack-a-mole, but find a based and/or cynical teacher and they can point you on the direction from which the Barbara Streisand flows. You might be surprised at how many teachers are against it, too.
agree 110%
I'd be poor before I let my children become brainwashed commies.
Parent correctly and you should be fine.
Edit: imagine downvoting a perfectly reasonable comment about parenting lol
And as everyone should know by now, the left's working definition for 'racist' is 'white', so those kids are about to have anti-white curriculum shoved down their throats.
Completely. And they are teaching white kids to be ashamed and hate their heritage.
Sexism and racism are religious terms.
It's not funny at all. Manipulating language is central to Communist praxis.
"Anti-racist" just means anti-white.
What the... shit like this depresses me, man.
It makes me wonder who the hell buys into what these bullshit salesmen are selling and how people don’t see that this is going to be used to indoctrinate little kids with left wing politics. We wouldn’t be raising racist kids but that should be the parents job, not the school’s. I would bet all of my money that this will be used to brainwash the kids under the guise of fighting racism.
Stay vigilant and make sure you’re involved in your kids education.
What's been happening is that the hard left took control of education training schools, and they have been using that control to maximum effect to brainwash their trainees. This has been going on since the 1960s at least and now they are in total control. Humanities courses reinforce this. It doesn't help that the average education major is not that bright anyway, so they lack the background or propensity to question what they are taught.
Also, the system as a whole took advantage of naive, trusting white parents. There are a lot of white parents, maybe most, who have no idea of what their children are actually being taught.
I'm old enough to remember the 90s when the universities vehemently denied they were liberal indoctrination centers. lol.
I am curious what "anti-racism" entails at the grade school level. Do you have any links to share?
No, that's the thing. We are out of the loop. The school committee is just 5 crazy cat lady libs, they don't even pretend to represent the town. They just do what they do and everybody obeys, especially the teachers.
It sounds like you've already committed to home schooling, so this may not help you. I think most if not all school boards are elected positions. First step, keep informed on school board elections and vote for people who represent your values. Stand for office if necessary.
Second, stay informed on school board issues. School board meetings are public records. School board members represent you, the parent and/or taxpayer. They do not represent the teachers union or the government. They work for you. Contact them or otherwise apply pressure if they are not acting in your interests.
Third, pay attention to what is going on in school. Lessons, teachers, other students, curricula, extra-curricular programs. If there is a problem, apply pressure to the principal and escalate to the school board.
Lastly, do not be afraid to be an asshole. Even for those of you living behind enemy lines, you still have rights and can win if you are willing to dig in and persist. I see a lot of people on here and IRL nope'ing out of public education for their sanity and safety. I fully respect that, but realize that by doing so, we are leaving the battlefield and many possible allies to the enemy. If you are willing and able, fight.
Yeah although many of them get awoke right before or after 30, and teachers cant get past kids raised by conservative families that taught them well.
My ex wife is a voracious liberal (happened to me too lol) challenge here is to ensure my son understands the truth and not the Democrat lie. He's 10 and already asking questions wtf is going on.
Yes, in school, the best grades go to the compliant students that regurgitate well, not the ones asking questions or critically thinking.
Yep, I aced basically all of my tests in school and my grade was suffering because I kept forgetting to submit my homework. I found come end of the year that, had students failed every test but submitted all of their homework on time then they would have an A in the class. This was said by my junior high science teacher to the class.
That was my wake up call back in highschool.
Absolutely. Since I’m near the top of my class, I’m often surrounded by these sorts of people. I can’t stand them.
Instead of learning HOW to think, they learn WHAT to think. This is pervasive in nearly every class and subject.
English: “read this leftist novel talking about how bad racism is. Now, I’ll tell you what I think every stupid color or flower symbolizes. Make sure you memorize every quote in the novel for the test!” Meanwhile, most students can’t even write with proper grammar.
History: “Let’s spend half our curriculum talking about how bad slavery and Jim Crow was. Then, let’s talk about how bad Herbert Hoover was and how FDR saved everyone with his big-government programs.” Meanwhile, most kids can’t name half the presidents and have never read the constitution.
Chemistry: “This is a list of the types of problems you’ll have to know for the test. If you have a problem saying ‘how much mass do you need to do ___’, multiply __ and divide __.” If they get a type of problem they’ve never seen before, most wouldn’t be able to figure out what to do.
Math: “If you want to do ___, memorize this specific formula.” Meanwhile, they have no clue why the formula work, where it came from, or any intuition behind it. They spend all their time memorizing it.
Computer Science: Most kids didn’t learn how to program “in general”, they only learned how to do very specific things in specific cases. Many kids don’t understand scope or type at all.
I could go on. No wonder nearly every single person who gets good grades is a leftist. They are absolutely tied to the system. They won’t be able to live on their own or think and reason on their own. Every problem they’ve ever faced is something a teacher told them exactly how to solve.
Well said!
Older people bred and fed these young people into the communist monsters they are. Rich people feed them these lies too. Look at the McCloskeys in STL. Liberals who support BLM and all their rich neighbors condemning them for defending their private property.
The mental illness of liberalism is alive and well in the older generations and it has mutated into outright communism and hate for America in the younger generations.
Have you ever lived in an urban area or spent time in academia? How do you think young people got so brainwashed?
During my freshman year of college practically the entire school of health professions at my university was mandated to attend a lecture presented by Jane Elliot, a white, geriatric atheist communist bitch from the cornfields of Iowa, of all places, who went on a two hour hate filled screed about America, Republicans, and white people. She is known for her racist Brown Eyes/Blue Eyes study where she gave preferential treatment to those with brown eyes and openly discriminated against those with blue eyes/fairer skin.
My professors loved every second of her presentation. They were all over 50 and were not shy about being left wing. Older folks, as a whole, are more conservative certainly but there is a good percentage of elderly who are true believers or still think the Democrats are the party of the little guy. Have a good day.
Just because you're a good man and the people in your network are too, doesn't mean they don't exist. The amount of old far left professors I had is too many to count.
You can thank Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn for that - Their maleficent influence on public education through teachers unions can-not be understated.
In the 1960, the trust fund baby - Bill Ayres, was afraid to go to Viet-Nam, just like a whole bunch of 18 year old boys were. But in order to get out of it he conned his friends into what he called a anti-war movement, some of them went to jail, some died - but Bill Ayres didn't.
A few years ago he published a book that he acknowledged himself as author, unlike when he ghost-wrote Obama's fake memories for him. The self image he put on the cover was of him posed as the "cool revolutionary" persona he used to dazzle all those barely literate Education Majors at teachers at each and every teachers conference year after year.
Was he the one who told provided huge cover for incompetent/lazy teacher by telling them "never fail a child" because doing so would irreparable damage to the child psyche.
Our schools in Minnesota are sinking. So many students fail in math and reading. It is a disgrace.
Yes he is. Explains so much!
Oh man, if we go from recognizing the problem to doing something about the problem... we might just get to keep our republic
The fact that they have greater contempt for the country that ended slavery than those who still practice it shows that they aren't intellectually honest people. More white people died to end slavery in America than any other country in the world. Change my mind.
Not... exactly...
The Civil War was not about the abolition of slavery until after general Lee’s failed attempt to capture Washington D.C. It is believed that the reason the announcement came after is because the North had a lot of failed attempts to invade West Virginia and that that would be seen as smokescreen to hide a failing administration.
We all realize that most major events like this don't have a simple dichotomy between good and evil, but an array of factors leading to the escalated conflict into war. The south will still never be able to escape the fact that slavery was one of their stated reasons for war. The North we will always have the "freed the slaves" narrative on their side despite the emancipation proclamation conveniently only freeing slaves in territory not controlled by the North. The North still consisted of abolitionists, and the south still consisted of slavery proponents. Not all Northern or Southern soldiers had slavery on their mind when they were killed, granted. No war can be broken down that simply.
It’s true. I’m a teacher (or was) and we don’t even teach American government or economics any more. The history textbooks cover many events but gloss over the virtues of the founding fathers and the great strides of this nation, focusing instead on a slanted indoctrination. When I have children, they will be homeschooled and taught to love this country and memorize key foundational documents. I have had to educate myself as an adult to make up for the lack of a childhood education. I encourage all pedes to look into Classical Historian curriculum, which uses the Socratic method to teach American exceptionalism.
Remember the 'Trump was impeached! Now who's going to be president?' Twitter posts from the masses?
Every time I see that, I make sure to point out how strange a time period this is when people would brag that they took someone to court and lost!
I remember when they were trying to impeach Pence not realizing that he was still the VP and Trump is still their president
I remember when the US house wanted to create a BILL to abolish the electoral college...
Guess i'm lucky, i'm 23 and my school taught me that stuff. Of course, this is coming from a Republican stronghold in Virginia.
Same here. We do teach the Constitution and civics, but it's very watered down compared to what I was taught (a lot of this has to do with reading and math levels -- the basic comprehension is way down for both, especially reading). Then again, everything is watered down...because we don't teach to the same standards anymore.
This problem has many reasons:
I still believe we should fight for the public schools or at least something that would resemble the public schools as they were. 3 reasons:
Sorry for the rant, but this is a hot topic for me.
My wife stays at home because we don’t want to use daycare to raise our son. She loves Trump and Tucker and freely speaks around people she knows. We’ve got a half dozen liberals who know her well begging her to homeschool for them 3 days a week because even liberals with kids are deep down worried about where the school system is headed.
That's great that you can do that, perhaps something to look into for you -- some people are not in that situation, and in some states it is very difficult to do teaching co-ops.
And that's the point I'm trying to make. You may have a wonderful alternative (which is wonderful), but that doesn't mean everybody else does or can, and we still all have to live with their kids. Their kids deserve an at least passable education -- education isn't a right, it is a privilege, but we are a wealthy nation and supposedly a civilized one, so we have the privilege of being able to educate our people; therefore, we should do the best job we can for as many as we can.
There was a time when our public education system was the envy of the world, and we just let it fall through our fingers from neglect (neglect of care/thought, not money -- oh, we threw money at it like drunken sailors, but not thought/care). Time to amend that.
LOL an opportunity to indoctrinate their children rather than the other way around.
It's a hot topic for me, too. You seem to have a lot of insight into the institution. I want to see education fixed as quickly as possible, but that seems impossible when looking around at all of the communist mayors and governors that have revealed themselves over the past few months. Too many people that I know still care more about useless crap in their lives than they do about being made house prisoners.It seems there is only a remnant of real Americans left.
Most people are just trying to go about their lives, and to be honest in some places the lockdowns were just ignored, so it didn't affect people much...so they just went about their lives.
I have insight because I've taught (from college to elementary, ESL, LD, BD and "normal", private/charter school, public, and tutoring homeschoolers) for around 25 years (give or take a few months). And of course, I went through the educational system myself and am a parent of multiple kids. My husband is also a teacher as well, although he hasn't taught in 2 years (works at factory), and I will likely go to the factory too when my kids go back to school....I've been blackballed from a couple institutions already for my...opinions. Time for me to tap out.
PS: it has taken this country 100 years to get into this predicament (actually, more...the progressive movement started in the late 1800s in America, and education was one of its first targets); this will not be a quick fix...but nothing easy is worthwhile; we should at least endeavor because that's what American do (or at least that's what our founding mythos says about us, and we should try to live up to it)
This is not true! This is what the left wants you to think - that "everyone" wants this Communist woke bullshit. It's a lie. WE ARE THE TRUE MAJORITY. Current events are leading people to think the opposite - that is exactly what they want - it's a propaganda demoralization tactic, nothing more.
Thanks for the encouragement. I want to see America win and the country I grew up in come back. It's just taking longer than I anticipated.
Teacher here. This is 100% spot on. I'm at a top 100 (we even got to #2 once) ranked school in the state of Florida so we don't have as much BS, but we see it. Especially the discipline. It's ignored today because nobody wants bad data so discipline is hidden.
The school district here has done a pretty good job, all things considered, with discipline -- they've taken a good approach. They start tracking kids in elementary, and then, if they've been a problem, they get sent to the remedial school in jr. high (we unfortunately can't send them there before then, but at least there's a paper trail from elementary). If their behavior warrants it, they can come back to the regular school, but they have to be in separate classes for a year and can go back to remedial if they slip up. We also do a bonus shop all through elementary: kids get "dollars" for good grades/behavior/helping that they get to spend there.
But discipline starts at home; the schools can only do so much. A lot of the kids today are bad. Nothing we do works (and we can't paddle the darlings anymore). Their parents aren't much better -- example: if your kid is physically threatening other children in the class, and we discipline them...then you aren't helping if you come in complaining about what a shitty job the schools are doing, blah, blah, blah leading to trying to bully the school into not suspending your child. And the kid in question wasn't from a broken or deprived home either, to all appearances a nice, middle class family (unless you were trying to teach the heathen)...he was also 12 yo. and couldn't tie his own shoes...he come up to the teachers and pester them to do it. We were constantly sending home notes to his parents (he had both) about this and to maybe buy him some Velcro shoes or slip-ons (since they couldn't be bothered with the shoe tying lesson).
Hot topic for me as well. Well said rant.
Part of me would like to compile some feedback and write a letter to the President and Betsy DeVos with suggestions/recommendations for education.
Something generalized that could fit all forms. I've worked in charter schools -- some are great, but some are not so hot...it depends upon who is running them, and a big issue is who gets hired -- just like in public schools -- to say the least about the text books (imho, overall very substandard -- text books are a racket). Same thing with homeschooling: I've seen great results...and I've seen it so bad I questioned whether or not it couldn't be considered child neglect (8 yo. who doesn't know his alphabet and is becoming obese because teacher Mommy likes to make him cookies and lets him do whatever he wants...should not be allowed to homeschool).
All the teachers I know left the system. Even the mild leftists ones are gone.
I didn’t leave the system by choice. I was fired because I refuse to take a medical test and eventual mandatory vaccination.
I respect anyone who stands firm on their convictions. Thank you for being an example pede of how need to start standing up for what we believe.
Just ordered a copy! Thanks!
If you really want to blow your mind about the education "system" and its actual intentions and origins, read John Taylor Gatto.
Real talk, what book/textbook covers all of American History as objectively as possible? I would love to makeup for the gaps I missed.
I really have enjoyed the Classical Historian series of textbooks, but we will have to look back to older books and original documents. I’m working my way through Know Your Bill of Rights now, and the Federalist and Anti-Federalist papers. I’ve also started to read presidential biographies. This link has some great old biographies.
bios
We need another McCarthy.
So much this ^
Arrest the communists.
Sorry, but he died a sad end and is still mocked today by teachers as a paranoid extremist.
We need to support Rand Paul. He can make a lot of change with our support.
I love Rand Paul too. But we need another McCarthy as well. He has been mocked as paranoid but has since been vindicated. Nobody can deny that communists have infiltrated our institutions and have propagandized our media.
This is why my highschooler is not going back in the fall and I'll be homeschooling him for his remaining two years. Due to the virus, I became his de-facto teacher anyway and saw the b.s. assignments he was given by two of his teachers with a clear leftist agenda
You must live in the northeast, pm if you ever want to chat about homeschooling for next year. I'm going all in.
You sure your kid will accept that? If my parents had denied my last two years of high school I'd have been pissed.
It's also much much harder to get into college if you're homeschooled
Same for me. I'm the student in this case and since my school is going partially online and is cancelling all extra curriculars, I will be homeschooling also.
my neighbors with kids have been homeschooling in groups. getting kids and teachers together in the evenings.
Good on you for taking your child’s education into your own hands. More who are able need to do this, seriously.
I'm so glad that he didn't make it political last night. Of course, clown news and other dbags have said it was a culturally divisive moment, but if you actually watched it, it was a pretty safe speech. I don't see how you could watch that, and not feel United as a country. I think Trump won a bunch of people over last night. CNN was literally having every fake doctor on saying everyone will die from covid-19, that this is a racist monument, you know, the same shit they accuse conservatives of every day.
They're getting desperate. They know the election is slipping from their grasp. It's beautiful to watch!
Did you read the article? He shit all over the left. Of course he made it "political."
I'm not saying he is wrong but that wasn't exactly "non political."
He may have shit on the far left, but I think the vast majority of Americans despise far left ideology. He never went off the cuff, which is usually when he starts making jabs. Last night was an American speech.
He said "there's a far left fascism" and it's true! But saying that makes this very political. Attacking the other party is political, just saying
It's blatantly obvious there's far left fascism. He stated a fact. How do you think moderates feel about the far left saying Mt Rushmore is ja monument memorializing slave owners? Mt fucking Rushmore is racist to the far left.
Grade 8 Government and civics teacher pede checking in. There are many of us in the system working behind the scenes pushing back against the liberal agenda. The problem is that many of the admins are indoctrinated as fuck and we must be silent or be fired.
So based.
This is the only way we will win.
Subvert the subverters.
Yes. This is badly needed. We need to do to them what they did to us. And what's beautiful is, they won't expect it.
Ohh now that's a good idea.
Go get 'em, MAGApede.
Thank you for making tomorrow's world a better place
Bless you for doing this. It is critical.
I've already requested in an official form to my school district how many illegal children am I paying for w my tax dollars in our 2 schools. Our school taxes went up 1.2 million so I requested that and I was also sent the school budget for last 2 years. Told the admin once i receive all the info i will be going over it w a fine tooth comb. I also requested a tour of the schools im paying for. I'm going to call the admin and request to know the curriculum being taught as well as what books they are using. Can't wait for Monday to ring them up!
Good job! Keep on digging deeper with them!
That's the vigilance we need!
Karen Power can be harnessed for good!! Well done. Demand accountability.
We pulled my oldest son from public school in Utah because in the 1st grade he came home and told us he learned that someone shot a black man and killed him. We reasoned out that he was talking about Martin Luther King and wasn’t taught any other details about MLK.
The school thought it would be wise to teach 6-7 year olds about the murder of MLK instead of what the man stood for and what he did to peacefully change peoples minds about the racial divide at the time. We talked with the school the next day and they didn’t see the problem... fuck that. My wife and I made the decision that she would homeschool the children and we’d make do with only one income.
Fuck those commies, we will educate our boys on our own. By the way, it’s not easy, but it’s worth it.
I started getting annoyed with the schools here (Las Vegas) when my daughter came home and asked me if I knew who (name I didn't know) was. It was one of the girls killed in the Birmingham bombing back in the 60s. I asked her if she knew anything about Thomas Jefferson and she said no. It was then that I decided to move my kids into private school.
That's how we're the silent majority. How long will we be the majority though. Junk food and fast food will keep lowering expected life age and old people will die quickly next 10ish years and lose a large voting population for the right.
Exactly, why do you think a bunch of Democratic governors shoved COVID patients into senior care homes? It's literally an attempt to genocide a Republican leaning demographic.
What the hell kind of programming are they doing? What's the point of teaching his death without his lessons from his life? Fuck those Communist pricks. Great for you. I hope your kids do well.
Great speech. Nice nod to George Orwell's 1984 when he talked about history being rewritten beyond all recognition.
Since the Mt. Rushmore celebration wasn't televised, unless you live streamed it, not enough people, and not the RIGHT people, heard that message. That is the message that he needs to get out to the public. It's simple, powerful, and true.
Why are our schools teaching kids to hate America? Why are we putting up with that? All these protestors, rioters, and general assholes have sheer blind hatred of America. Is that what the voters want? A country of people that all hate America? Do they want to vote for more of that?
It's a very simple choice voting....pro America, or anti-America.
Are you sure it wasn't televised?? My parents watched it on TV, probably Fox, but still ....
Ah, maybe. I don't have cable, so I didn't consider that maybe cable news carried it. Pretty fucking sad that PBS, the government sponsored network didn't cover it though. To their credit, they usually air the 4th of July celebration concert in D.C. each year.
No worries, your point still is stands. Schools are indeed teaching kids to hate America...
Think FNC and C-Span both broadcast it live.
Now we’re getting to the root of it.
Once we fully pull back the mask of what these anti American forces have been doing, there’ll be no safe place for them to hide
I just pulled my kid out of public school. It took a lot of prayer and thought. Reading this thread confirms my decision and I feel confident I did the right thing.
You did the right thing. Good for you.
DAMN. That’s MY supermodel fucking President.
As usual, he speaks the truth.
It starts in pre-school (no wonder there's a push for that to start earlier and earlier), and extends right into college.
And remember how we'd say they'd learn when they got a job in the "real world?" Now, the "real world" employers are woke, too. Just look at what's been going on in the business world now inhabited--and often led--by these flakes with entire staffs threatening to quit unless radical demands are met...and they always are.
So Trump's right. They're taught to hate their country. And they're taught to hate their parents, too--you know, the ones whose tax dollars pay those teachers and fund the schools, yet who have no say in the curriculum.
I walked into my daughters preschool classroom this year and they were proudly displaying a children’s transgender book for everyone to see.
"You need to brainwash your kids because if you dont do it somebody else will." - Scott Adams.
THIS should be a felony. It’s sedition in my mind. These kids will welcome in an enemy oppressor with open arms. It is so very sick and wrong. It’s exactly what Mao did - stole the minds of the children. So much so that they turned on their parents and families and neighbors.
Yep, the similarity to Mao is striking.
When Socrates was executed, one of his charges against him was corrupting the youth.

If you guys are looking for examples, here's one.
That nutjob has daily access to children. That is fucking SCARY.
This is absolutely terrifying
His Twitter feed is scary, considering he is a middle school teacher. The trash he must be spewing in his classroom. Weird, his Black Mount Rushmore did not list Clarence Thomas, Thomas Sowell, or Dr. Ben Carson as options, but included Beyoncé and Tupac. Guess if you are black and conservative you aren’t really black.
Also, reading that list and I realized how many of those black authors are being taught, while they have dumped many of the white authors...
He is absolutely right. In fact, this is happening in Australia too where children are taught at school that the and that Captain Cook is the devil and "stole" Australia from the Aboriginies.
Need to download everything Trump. Label it with day and location. Then can start putting it up somewhere. I have 2015 downloaded so far. Just takes a while to do.
Thank God he said that. It’s time to stop the bullshit and put love of country back in our schools.
“Today, we will set history and history’s record straight,” he added.
Charter Schools FTW.
From what I gather, wasn't a decision made in SCOTUS regarding school choice recently?
Yes. A good one.

Someone was suing the state of Montana trying to say that it wasn't allowed to offer it's charter school scholarship to religious schools.
It was challenging that the program was against the rules of the "Blaine Amendment which is horseshit.
Yes however Biden has vowed to eliminate Charter Schools. This should really be used in the Black community.
They were taught to hate the history of our country. They liken the founding fathers to terrorists through false equivalence arguments because they find it edgy. They ignore the real history of slavery and only focus on the tragic examples that elicit the most emotional response. And now they are all in on the climate justice bullshit which is very attractive to young minds, because who doesn't want clean air and water? You add it all up and you get a bunch of people with a huge victim mentality that have a main goal to tear things down instead of build them up.
Yet they have no better replacement.
Absolute Chad to point that out.
School is definitely not what it used to be when I attended, and have run into mostly far left teachers, or teachers that just no longer care.
Companies arent just pushing pointless graphic changes because of Mr Krabs "money", but are hiring leftists into HR and recruiting which then in turn hire more leftists.
I know my company has gone this route recently, especially when they push Diversity and Inclusion nonstop, and even had a townhall on Floyd with the executive leading it wearing a "I cant breathe" shirt for everyone to see.
DEFUND PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Make the parasites get private sector jobs and STARVE.
That’s why my kid starts private school next month.
If we want to make change we should start running pedes for local school boards.
It is up to you to teach your little pedes exactly what we fight for against these commie losers every day. Never relent.
And that it's okay to dress in drag, ignore orders, and that they are special.
They cut the 'Republican Black history' out of 5th grade 'American history'
It was too much of a shock for Racist dems to see chapter of history, where America had elected a significant number of Black Representatives in the Republican party and forced Dems to 'deal with it' in the late 1800s-
They used to start at the college level, now it’s at the kindergarten level. It’s atrocious and brainwashing.
Im homeschooling For sure
Tell school you're moving. Lie to them. Fuck their records. They want school address..... tell them you don't have info yet. Do NOT say homeschool. If at all possible.... move and begin homeschool in new state. Tyranny will find you if you don't pay heed.
Homeschooling isn’t illegal? What are you talking about?
Interesting. Where can I find that list of states
Thanks a lot. Any other links you have, share em
I was born and grew up in a third world country(Afghanistan). I have felt and seen what Taliban rule is like. I have seen what it's like to see your sisters and mother treated like second class citizens. I have seen the cruelty of the Islamic religion. Thankfully, by the mercy of God, I was adopted and taken to the United States. Seeing all these rioters and their destruction is saddening but more so angering. They don't have a clue what true suffering is. It's rather offensive to be honest to those who came to the United States to escape that hardship. Just my two cents.
Can confirm worked as a custodian and it’s like an anarchy camp
Damn he sure looked presidential there. I’m so glad he’s president. I can’t imagine how worse off we would be and will be in November if he’s not.
Homeschool.
If you really want to understand what has been going on with our education system you should research Charlotte Iserbyt. I was introduced to her by a pede on the old site on 2016 http://deliberatedumbingdown.com/ddd/
MAKE SCHOOL CHOICE A REALITY!!!!
His second term really needs to focus on revamp the curriculum of our schools to focus on what has made America so successful. We will eventually lose if keep indoctrinating generations.
