Teacher: ‘I’ve Got a Master’s Degree! What Have Parents Got?’

Don’t even think about coming back!

Once upon a time a public school “teacher” who copped this attitude would have been chased out of town–and she’d better not come back, not even in disguise.

But this week in Arizona, during a hearing on a bill to get pornography out of school classrooms and libraries, a “teacher” lectured the legislators like so:

Education is all about “socialization,” she said. “The purpose of public education is not to teach not only what parents want their children to be taught, it is to teach them what society needs them to be taught” (https://www.lifesitenews.com/blogs/arizona-teacher-tells-lawmakers-that-parents-are-unqualified-to-oppose-lgbt-propaganda-in-classrooms/?utm_source=featured-news&utm_campaign=usa).

But wait, there’s more!

“I have a master’s degree! What have parents got?”

Not to keep you in suspense: the Senate committee passed the bill and moved it on up to the next level.

But meanwhile, who or what does this jidrool mean by “society”? Teacher unions? Her nutty professors at the teachers’ college? Where do parents fit into… “society”? Maybe at the very bottom? As in “Just shut up and pay your taxes”?

People! America’s unionized public school teachers are not going to change! They are not going to wake up some morning and say “Let’s try being sane and decent for a while.” These characters are grooming your children for sex. They are committed to the erasure of the family. They are not going to stop.

But you can stop them. Pull 50 million children out of the public schools and see what happens to Far Left Crazy.

Say ‘Black Lives Matter’–Or Else!

Gee, you wouldn’t think anything bad could possibly happen if you hammer kids’ heads full of Racial Grievances all day, every day, and go far out of your way to foment racial strife. I mean, c’mon, really! This is public education! This is Racial Justice!

At Kenwood Elementary School in Springfield, Ohio, Critical Race Theory came to life when a bunch of black kids grabbed some white kids and made them recite, “Black Lives Matter”–or else get beaten up (https://www.springfieldnewssun.com/news/springfield-police-investigate-racial-incident-involving-elementary-school-students/VQGZ74RCZNGKBFKHPPHNLQQO7A/). Police are… investigating. What more could we ask?

School officials demonstrated acute chuckleheadedness by declaring Kenwood “a safe learning environment, where they look forward to attending every day.” Except those days when the black kids beat them up.

Oh, forsooth. I went to elementary school in the Fifties. It was wall-to-wall bullies. I taught in public schools in the Nineties. It was wall-to-wall bullies. This is the sort of thing that always happens in public schools. Usually it’s because some kids are just born nasty. But in this case it is the direct result of stupid, evil, racially charged doctrines that dominate public education in our time.

You sure you want to send your kids there? Really?

Report: 65% of 4th-Graders Can’t Read

When to actually worry that your kid still can't read - Today's Parent

Just in case you were wondering about how well our public education system’s working, there’s a report out by Emily Hanford, American Public Media, stating that some 65 percent of our fourth-graders “can’t really read” (https://www.thefp.com/p/why-65-percent-of-fourth-graders).

No, it’s not due to COVID Etc. It’s due to trendy teaching methods that just don’t work–and, I might add, to enormous amounts of classroom time wasted on Far Left crapola.

They can’t read, but I’ll bet they can rattle off a couple dozen “genders” if given half a chance.

Parents! Are you absolutely, positively sure you can’t do better than this? You can’t do better than the teachers’ colleges and teachers’ unions?

Shame on you, if it’s so. Time to homeschool!

DeSantis Wins a Big One–For Us

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

Florida Gov. DeSantis battles what he sees as indoctrination in public schools. : NPR

He knows how to beat the super-villains!

See, this is why we need Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis where he is. He’s accomplishing things in Florida, winning key victories against the Far Left, which other governors in other states can emulate.

His latest: going head-to-head against “education” behemoth College Board, DeSantis has forced them to delete almost all “Critical Race Theory” horse**** from its Advanced Placement African-American Studies curriculum (https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/big-win-for-desantis-in-battle-over-ap-african-american-studies/). Big chunks of Far Left crapola have been removed from the tests and the curriculum.

They’ve even deleted the section on Queer Black Studies!

Yes, the teachers’ unions will “teach” all that garbage anyway; but they’ll be under the gun for test scores. The kids still have to pass the tests to get into college… and of course Everybody Goes To College! If too many kids can’t pass, their school district will lose aid money… and maybe, hopefully, some of those weirdo teachers will lose their jobs.

Is this enough? Of course not. As long as children are put in classrooms with unionized “teachers,” the students are at risk. Any definition of “enough” would have to entail a total dismantling of “public education” and a restoration of the community’s authority over its schools. And that mostly means parental authority. Let the unions go pound salt.

As for Gov. DeSantis–keep it up, man, keep it up! We need more like you!

Why Are They Doing This?

Susan said I ought to watch this, just to see what we’re likely to come up against in the next election cycle–a run for the White House by Gavin Newsom, the governor of California.

Newsom’s wife, Jennifer, is a wealthy documentary film-maker whose agenda may be described as “Obama-Plus”–pursuing a “fundamental transformation of America” into a Far Left hell-hole. This time the tool will be Jennifer’s bizarre, sexually-charged documentaries now finding their way into our already wretched public schools.

Investigative reporter Adam Andrzejewski broke it down into three steps: lay out a comprehensive “gender” curriculum for young children in the schools; promote her husband as the star with all the answers; and make tons of money, doing it. The films, he said, feature “triple X-rated images” for 11-year-olds to see. And meanwhile, he said, she will be “quadruple-dipping into taxpayers’ funds” provided by the state.

The objective is to gin up Newsom’s run for president, with Jennifer actively and aggressively serving as a “co-president”–Hillary Clinton 2.0.

Hello! Parents! What do you suppose you and your children are going to get out of this? Why in the world do you tolerate it? That’s what I can’t understand. What do you think will happen to our country if crazy stuff like this isn’t stopped?

Teacher Union Prez Embezzled $400K, Investigators Say

Former Virginia Teacher Union president arrested for embezzling over $400K | Fox News

Police have arrested the former Arlington, Virginia, teachers’ union president and charged her with embezzling $400,000 in “faulty bonuses and other self-rewards” during the six years she served (https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/01/former-head-teacher-union-arlington-virginia-arrested-embezzling-400000/).

Sounds like she shot the moon: credit card fraud, all sorts of finagling. Ingrid Grant, that’s her name.

Earlier this month a teachers’ union treasurer in Reading, PA, was arrested for embezzling more than $400,000.

Well, we’ve told you about those teachers’ unions, haven’t we? Give ’em half a chance and they’ll suck the public dry. While grooming the taxpayers’ children for aberrant sex. 

They are not going to change, people. They are not going to wake up good, one of these days.

The only effective and meaningful response to what “public education” has become is to withdraw our children from the public schools.

When the Schools Want More of Your Money…

A chief auditor has found that a dozen school districts throughout Pennsylvania concealed their budget surpluses in reserve accounts so they could say they were short of funds and needed another tax increase (https://www.pennlive.com/politics/2023/01/school-districts-tuck-money-in-reserve-accounts-to-justify-need-for-tax-increases-audit-finds.html).

They’re hiding “hundreds of millions of dollars of budget surpluses,” said the state’s House Republican leader.

Over the past four years, the auditor reports, the 12 districts collectively have gulled the voters into approving 37 school tax increases. The auditor concluded that the practice must be quite common, because the 12 districts he audited are scattered throughout the state.

All sorts of hair-splitting excuses have been made for this. It seems to fall into a grey area, legally… so school officials won’t be charged with stealing public money.

They also get away with grooming children for every kind of aberrant sex you can think of, fomenting racial paranoia, and working tirelessly to estrange children from their families. That’s public education. What’s a few hundred million dollars that disappears along the way?

‘Principal Orders Teacher Not to Attend Church’ (2019)

Evil Teachers and Beyond: 5 School Scare Sources - Horror Writers AssociationHorror Writers Association

Trust me, you don’t want to be where this bus is going.

See how “public education” keeps turning up the temperature, a little bit at a time? It’s like the frog in the pot who dies in boiling water–and we the people are the frog.

Here’s an example from 2019.

Principal Orders Teacher Not to Attend Church

This jidrool’s identity was protected by all concerned, and he (or she) escaped being fired. He wouldn’t have escaped when I was a kid in school. Although the ridiculous and obscene “order” was overruled by the superintendent of the school district, justice has not quite been done.

And now the water is hotter than it was in 2019, and getting even hotter by the day… And they’re still getting away with it, aren’t they?

Kill public education, and Far Left Crazy dies.

We Need to Empty the Classrooms

Teacher empty classroom hi-res stock photography and images ...

Let’s face it, the Far Left teachers’ unions and Far Left teachers’ colleges aren’t going to change their tune. Leaving our children in their hands, five days a week, is cultural suicide. I think it comes down to this: either they go, or the public schools go.

To this end, I propose (doesn’t that sound grand!) a nationwide Public Education Walk-Out–ten million kids, and more if we can get them, to be kept home from school for one day to demonstrate America’s total rejection of what has been done to our education system.

If you like race-baiting, dirty books in the school library, “teachers” bragging to first-graders about their aberrant lifestyles, and that big, big push for Transgender–well, then, just keep on sending ’em to public schools. But if you don’t like what they’re selling, please stop buying it!

We have to show them we mean business, and a massive walk-out is a good start. We have to convince our, ahem, “educators” that if they keep on serving up their garbage, they’re going to have to serve it to an empty classroom.

If they win, we lose.

And we can’t afford to lose.

When it comes to public education, there are so many things wrong with the picture, you scarcely know where to begin.

Like, letting a kid die while you wait for an answer to your email…

What’s Wrong With This Picture?

Boy saves classmate’s life–and gets suspended! I think that tells us all we need to know about public schooling and the kooks who perpetrate it.

Yeahbut, yeahbut! We can’t afford homeschool! We never heard of those crazy goings-on! Besides, public school is free!

For shame.
