Stories Better Left Alone

Knowing your dragonflies from your damselflies | Heart of England Forest

Enough is enough: these stories have upset me. Here’s a nice damselfly instead.

Boy howdy, I’m tired! And bad nooze has piled up–I’ll never be able to cover all of it. But there are school stories you should know about.

*A 5th-grade “teacher” on Long Island, NY, forced a 9-year-old girl to agree she wanted to “change her gender”–without, of course, her parents’ knowledge or consent (https://nypost.com/2023/02/28/ny-teacher-forced-5th-grader-to-go-by-male-pronouns-suit/). She did it by constantly, for months, referring to the girls as a boy and calling her “Leo.” The “teacher” also urged the rest of the kids in her class to “try being gay.” The parents are suing the school district. Too little, too late, folks: the school reported the 9-year-old as now having fantasies of suicide–thanks to her “teacher.”

*A teacher in Florida decided to celebrate Black History Month by have the white kids in his class bow to the black kids and make like their servants (https://vdare.com/posts/get-your-kids-out-of-public-school-black-teacher-in-florida-on-leave-accused-of-forcing-white-students-to-bow-before-blacks-during-black-history-month)–so he’s now “on leave” and they might fire him. We can rule out the Criminal Mastermind Factor: he posted video of the classroom hijinks on the social media. Some students and parents stuck up for him, but the administration was nevertheless appalled by what it called–rightly, probably, “exploitation of children for political purposes.”

And again the question is, and must be: Parents! Why in Heaven’s name do you continue to send your kids to public schools? Hey, if you really like what your kids are being taught out there, I’d love to hear from you.

Wichita Public Schools: ‘Preferred Pronouns’… or Death

Posted By: leeduigonPosted On:

Advance Review: Monstrous Fun in `Something is Killing the Children' #21 – COMICON

The only thing they haven’t done yet is sell the kiddies on assisted suicide. That’s the only line they haven’t crossed.

So you think you and your kids are safe because you live in a Red state?

Wrong!

If you live in Wichita, Kansas–Kansas, I said!–and you send your kids to public schools, you’ll find the teachers’ union more than ready to transgenderize them. But, see, they sort of have to… because not using the preferred pronouns, they say, could lead to a child’s suicide (https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2023/02/27/wichita-public-schools-not-using-preferred-pronouns-can-lead-to-death/).

Teachers are “trained” (what? do they get a raw fish if they do it right?) to “help” the kiddies change their gender–and are encouraged by the school district to keep it all a secret from the parents. What if a child’s parents don’t want “him” to be “her”? We-hell-hell! None of that! A teacher who allowed a kid’s parents to find out what’s going on at school… well, they put it this way: teachers who cooperate with children’s families and honor the family’s wishes have been… um… “deputized to discriminate.” No way any self-respecting unionized “teacher” allows that!

Let’s talk turkey, folks: What’s it going to take to get you to pull your children out of those public schools? And please don’t try that “Not in our schools” bit. The teachers’ unions, so far out there on the Left, they’re almost invisible without a telescope, run the show in all 50 states. Including yours.

Stop public education, stop the teachers’ unions, and Far Left Crazy dies. They can’t kill our country without your tacit assistance–which you give by handing over your children five days a week.

‘Teacher’ Caught Molesting Kids–In Class

Here’s the mug shots. I never saw mug shots of any of my teachers… but times have changed.

What do public school “teachers” have to do before parents pull their children out of the system?

A former “Educator of Excellence” (2017) at a grade school in Benson, Minnesota, who has been teaching in the district for more than 30 years, has been put on paid leave–that’s when you get all your money and benefits but don’t have to work–after police arrested him for…

Molesting three 7 and 8-year-old boys in his classroom while school was in session–

And while a video camera was recording it! (https://alphanews.org/teacher-accused-of-molesting-children-in-class-placed-on-paid-leave/).

He’s out now on $25,000 bail.

Are we just going to stand here wondering while our whole civilization is destroyed? What can we do to stop this madness?

But many of our world leaders don’t want it stopped, do they? Steal any election, anywhere, any time, and you can just do what you want.

‘Coach Suspended… For Winning’ (2019)

What could be more Woke than punishing someone for doing a thing too well, or being too successful?

Remember this–public education strikes again?

Coach Suspended… for Winning

This New York county has a rule against any high school football team winning by too many points. They actually made a rule against it. Score too many points, and you’re outta here!

What lesson does that teach?

‘Child Suspended from School for ‘Threat’ to Use Magic Ring’ (2015)

Posted By: leeduigonPosted On:

Magic ring - Wikipedia

I re-run this post every now and then because it drives home two major points:

1. Public education is beyond repair. Get out while you can.

2. Living in a Red State like Texas means nothing at all; the same wacko “educatorxs” control public schooling in all 50 states.

Child Suspended from School for ‘Threat’ to Use Magic Ring

How is it even possible to “threaten” anybody with a magic ring? Do “teachers” not understand that there is no such thing? This, by the way, was the Kermit Elementary School–named for Kermit the Frog?–in Texas. You don’t have to be in Massachusetts or California for your kids to be “educated” by idiots.

Why are your children still in public school? What kind of magic have they used on you?

My Newswithviews Column, Oct. 13 (‘Stirring Up Racial Strife’)

You’d think we wouldn’t tolerate people who purposely stir up strife, who want us at each other’s throats. But we do… We do.

Stirring Up Racial Strife

No one does more harm to America than our teachers’ unions. And yet we don’t remove our kids from union-dominated schools. We really hate Critical Race Theory, we demand they stop “teaching” it… and all they do is change the label, and all we do is let them get away with it.

If it’s left up to the teachers’ unions, America is finished.

They’re Still Teaching ‘Critical Race Theory’

Posted By: leeduigonPosted On:

No, we don’t like it!

The Maryland State Education Assn. (MSEA), a state teachers’ union that’s part of the National Education Assn. and has 75,000 members, has offered grants of $1,000 each to teachers who continue to teach “Critical Race Theory”–the doctrine that all white people are born racists and all non-whites born victims (https://www.realclearpolicy.com/articles/2022/10/11/race-baiting_crt_still_high_on_teachers_unions_to-do_list_858228.html).

But because almost everybody in America detests CRT, they’re giving it new names. “Restorative justice” heads the list. And then there’s the Biden administration’s $468 million “community schools” program, chock-full of euphemisms for Far Left race-baiting.

Many teachers have left the union rather than engage in campaigns to foment racial animosity; and parents have staged protests, too, despite the Biden Justice Dept. branding them “domestic terrorists” and ordering the FBI to spy on local school board meetings.

Teachers’ unions are solidly locked in to CRT and rather than give it up, they simply invent new names for it. Obviously they think the American people are way too stupid to see through that.

They’re not going to stop. They’re not going to change. And so we are forced to say again: the only meaningful way to oppose this is for parents to remove their children from the public schools and wrest them out of the hands of the teachers’ unions. There is no reason to believe that anything else will work.

We won’t be able to save our country if we don’t do this.

Poll: ‘Up to Half’ of College Students Say They’re ‘Gay’

I haven’t the heart to illustrate this as I should. Here’s a nice crayfish instead.

(Thanks to Thewhiterabbit for the nooze tip)

A recent poll of college students by the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education featured some distressing results.

Among current college students, 23% “identify” (whatever the hell that means) as LGBT; but in ritzy liberal arts colleges, the average is 38% and in some places “up to half the student body” (https://www.manhattan-institute.org/polarization-about-get-lot-worse-students-are-even-more-divided-we-are-opinion).

Well waddaya know? Propaganda works! It really works!

Why wouldn’t these wretched college students identify as homosexuals? You get constant praise from Important People who really matter! All through school your teachers have pushed you and encouraged you. Probably your folks hid their heads in the sand: very intoxicating stuff, knowing that your parents are afraid to cross you. The government loves you, Hollywood loves you, the United Nations loves you! And anyone who doesn’t had better watch out!

And please, no raking up ancient cliches about liberal arts colleges and how nothing ever changes.

Remember this easy rule of thumb. In considering any societal change recommended by Democrats and other parasites, simply ask, “What would happen if everybody did it?” And if the answer is “The human race would go extinct”–well, then you know where you are.

‘Teacher to 7th Graders: “Deny God or Fail”‘ (2015)

How do some of these teachers keep their jobs? I mean, we know that Far Left zombies come out of teachers’ colleges–but aren’t they supposed to at least make an effort to hide it?

Well, why bother? They’ve got our kids, that’s what matters.

Teacher to 7th Graders: ‘Deny God or Fail’

There is no way to “reform” public education. The rot is way too deep. Children must not be left in public schools.

At least read up on homeschooling co-ops, or individual homeschooling, or Christian schools in your area. Unless, of course, you want your kids “taught” by Far Left zealots devoted to stirring up racial paranoia and transgender mania.

Is ‘Education’ Really Going Crazy?

Is it us, finally seeing what was there all along? Or has “education” really and truly run right off the rails in just the past few years?

I pose that as a question to my readers. What do you think? ‘Cause I can’t quite decide what I think. Sometimes one way, sometimes the other, and sometimes both.

They are pushing “transgender” like they’ve gotta get it done or die tomorrow. They are fomenting racial animosities. They are grooming children, some of them as young as kindergarten, for sex. Crikey! What kind of people have they got coming out of the teachers’ colleges? And who’s teaching them?

It has begun to spill over into religious schools. But the public schools are lost, broken beyond repair. As long as teachers’ unions stand in the way, the schools will never be fixed–not even a band-aid. Our only practical alternative is homeschooling. Pull the kids out and watch the public schools go bust. Convert the buildings to some other use. Let the former teachers’ union wackos pump gas or sweep the floor at the 7-11.

Yes. I’m afraid “education” really is as bad as it looks.
