Realize that not all of us are that way. Overall, we don't have TDS nor ADS; haven't grabbed our crotches since we were 5 and needed to go potty; have no desire to wear Carole Baskin-in-training get up (seriously, what is up with the wall-to-wall tiger motif there? probably something Freudian no doubt).
I live, by choice, in a rural area. When I had kids I looked forward with great pleasure the coming battles with the local school system. Alas, the local teachers and administrators are about as woke as Sleeping Beauty.
The problem for teachers is this: the number of raging lefties in the urban areas (that get the most press) is huge; so too are the number of raging lefties at the conferences/state board of education/writing the papers/running the teacher's colleges.
And, they tend to be most vociferous (conservative and now even moderate teachers tend to not call attention to themselves -- even one or two raging lefties at a school will cause problems for you).
Teacher of the year here bragged about her pitbulls, and stealing a car at 14 years old. Her name was Ms. Brown 4th grade. 1st grade teacher from same school called me after 10pm saying she was going over my son's grades in bed. She wore thigh high latex boots to work. She had taught on the college level. Why was she teaching 1st grade in the ghetto? Stay classy Fort Worth Texas. My kids are out. The hype of school blinds parents. Home school. Fort Worth is not a place to raise a family if you cannot afford private school.

Most are lefties, sure. But not all.
Private schools tend to control this better.
Rural publics schools also don't tend to have this problem, because lefties don't want to live there for the most part.
Varies by location

There are some good apples.

You're probably right. She just looks stupid...and like a cat lady in training.
