Edit: fucked up the quote so I tagged you. It was about being too cool to stand up to evil.
@RaceBannon, you pick and choose what is a big deal and what isn’t pretty often. Headlines and hot topics are often misleading.
January 6th wasn’t a huge tragedy and our democracy wasn’t almost stolen. Blacks don’t get hunted down for sport by police. Headlines and political folks won’t shut the fuck up about trans-rights even tho that is less than 1% of the population. White supremacy, blah, blah. I don’t need to have a strong stance on everything, because a lot of it is pumped up, media created bullshit.
I’m on your side with this. I agree with a lot of your views on here. The dumb fuck left has made it very hard to support them and I can’t any longer.
It has obviously happened in some schools. Is it some rampant problem that is ruining the kids? I have my doubts and haven’t seen it myself. Controversy and debate is what gets the clicks and the viewers.
I’m of the age where a lot of friends of mine have school aged kids, along with myself. And this shit doesn’t come up, probably because it doesn’t happen very often in real life. I don’t have anyone I would consider woke in my circle.
Pretty rampant here in "republican" orange county bc all the teachers are democrats and not the tuff logging camp kind.
I've watched my nephews go through it in even redder inland empire.
The older one leaked a bunch of his "secret woke education" he wasn't supposed to share or make public. Pretty proud of him.
When parents demanded to see the curriculum the district tried to force them to sign an NDA to be able to review it.
Tell me what curriculum at a public school shouldn't be public knowledge?
Agreed that you are a reasonable guy @RoadDawg55 but just because you are lucky enough to be in a district without this garbage doesn't mean that it isn't happening.
I have A LOT of friends i grew up with who are teachers. Some of them ARE these liberal wackos in all honesty. It's the effects of the echo chamber. They think it's normal.
The problem is that they are in a position of influence and authority with a captive audience. "Punching down" as @TheKobeStopper would like to say.
The effect of that is that one teacher can have an outsized influence on literally thousands of kids, create a consensus, and have institutional power backing them while being able to silence any opposition.
Doubly so in states where being a part of the LGBTQIA2+ mafia makes you a protected class. What's that? The biology teacher said there's only 2 genders in mammals? Slap them with a harassment complaint and watch the investigations roll for 2 years. God help the student that doesn't call you by zhe/zhem who doesn't have a union to protect them.
Tldr this shit is happening in parts of the country even if it isn't your experience that it is.
