Teachers Openly Fret That Parents Might Hear Them Brainwashing Children, Call Parents ‘Dangerous’
In one of the creepiest yet most revealing Twitter threads ever to be posted on the platform, a teacher recently fretted out loud that virtual classes might allow parents to hear him brainwashing their kids. Matthew R. Kay, an educator and author of a book on “how to lead meaningful race conversations in the classroom,” worried that “conservative parents” would be able to interfere with the “messy work” of indoctrinating children into critical race theory, gender theory, and other left-wing dogmas.
It so happens that the vast majority of voters disagree with the union stance on this matter, but the unions have so much money to spend on electing their flunkies to office that they have been able to flaunt the Right to Work laws successfully for years.
The National Right to Work Committee, righttoworkcommittee.org , has been successful in the past in forcing the unions to obey the law. This year the opportunity to beat the unions happens to be very favorable, and I am hoping that people who can afford it will donate to this group to put an end to the union's taking money from workers without their permission.
This issue doesn't affect me directly, since I am retired, but I still donate $10 a month to the cause, since I cannot stand still while this kind of injustice is allowed to prevail.
I have found that the reason most kids don't like certain topics is far less about the kid than it is about the way in which the material is presented. That is predominantly a "teaching" function where the good teachers are those who engage the kids and help them learn the material in a way which works for that child. I think one of the flaws in current public schools is a failure to separate kids out according to how they learn and teaching them commensurately. While I think its valuable to have kids of the same ages learning together (because they are also learning social cues, etc.) I would love to see them separated based on their learning styles for maximum effectiveness.
In high school I had to take latin and french and americal history and english literature. Basically worthless information in my life as it turned out 50 years later. I was bored silly in public high school. Had to go to classes or get in various kinds of trouble from government and/or parents. I wasted years of that stuff. I learned more useful stuff from working in my own basement shop and visiting the neighbor across the street.
I don't disagree. It should be about learning.
"why not encourage that as kids(?)"
A little thing called maturity and responsibility - neither of which are present in the vast majority of under-20-year-olds.
A large part of maturing is coming to realize that there is a lot more to life than just instant gratification. IMHO, a large part of what is so wrong with the millennial generation is that they have been allowed to only choose the things they like. Very few have actually had to do anything of significant difficulty. Many millennials can't even look off in the distance long enough to see that mountain in the distance to climb. As a result, many are petulant whiners with unrealistic expectations that everyone else should cater to their whims. Very few are willing to go out and do the hard work necessary to succeed on their own merits. They don't realize just how much they have bought into the "you didn't build that" of Barack Obama.
It isn't the destination that makes the journey memorable, but the struggles along the way. No one celebrates someone who drives 26.2 miles to the end of a marathon.
The more pending question, however, is what do you do about it? That percentage isn't likely to increase - ever. So what substitutes are there? Personally, I think that the destruction of the Boy Scouts of America was one of the worst things to happen to youth. There was a program designed to teach leadership and skill through hard work, persistence, and failure. (If you've ever taken youth camping, that is a singular experience in letting young people fail and then make the best of things.)
It is time that these left-wing looney educrats be denied the "cover of darkness" they have been operating under. They (wittingly or unwittingly) have taken the teachings of the Communist Antonio Gramsci, Joe Stalin, the Fabian socialists including Dewey and Saul Allinsky to heart).
This cabal from many school Superintendents, Principals, and rank and file teachers have been spreading misinformation and out and out propaganda for several generations now. It is time to hold them and their corrupt system accountable!
Creeps and subversives have no place controlling what our kids are supposedly learning. Hitler and Stalin could not have done a better job of co-opting our once great country! Truth be told!
Unfortunately, In American, it only takes a light rinse in order to convince good people to support stupid and corrupt things. Simple truth!
I wonder it these creatures reared their ugly heads in the last days of Noah just before the 12K year cycle of catastrophe on earth...we are getting close.
Keep an eye on the magnetic pole movements and the weakening of our magnetic shields...all this plays a role on the Bicameral brain.
Those of us, Unicameral have some protection and have access to our minds.
I have observed that it doesn't affect everyone, those that have some form of self control, the mind?, A conscience, morality? are the one's least affected.
In essence, bicamerals - those with a block pathway to the mind have the roughest time...and they obviously are not aware of it....just like those that put them in that position.
Usefull idiots creating useLESS idiots?
To the contrary, now and type of doctrine that does not follow the Communist/Socialist propaganda is not allowed. Virtue signaling and the idiotic "Cancel" culture are now the "Hitler Brownshirts" masquerading as the educational elite and the supposedly, educated students that couldn't even pass a 1900 8th grade exam to get you into highschool. Truth be told! However they can cite you chapter and verse about just about every pop scientific, crackpot theory. God help us all!
My wife teaches nursing in college, and I see no reason why she really needs more than a few other people to completely serve the needs of her students. I could easily do the same in engineering,
It is time for open market education!
I am doing some of their online lectures, myself.
Not sure they will take on the online market as aggressively as possible though.
As long as they remember that...we should be okay.
Ive been involved with this site a long time. 'm sure somewhere on this site there is much more detail about this.
There is so much more...they never needed to make anything up.

President Trump Asks Nick Adams To Serve In His Administration

Maybe this will help combat this bull crap.
Trump has the government capturing all of these zoom meeting, and is picking through them for PROOF of this crap.
But also picking through the best courses for EVERY Grade. And the government automates the education/teaching/learning system in a KahnAcademy x 1 Million approach.
Completely gutting the education system and rebuilding it with proper education where we are taught to love learning and we actually do real problem solving and cool stuff in school again!
Hey, I can dream!
Sometimes, unfortunately, he also converts expensive champagne to Lemonade as well... But so be it!
