My role in my kid's education was to enable and facilitate it.
I never spent a minute telling my local schools how to do their job. My kid doesn't struggle to multiply 16 x 7....like the **** of Grifty.
And I sure as hell don't want a legion of FOX nursing cretins involved.

No, I said you had a valid point. And NO, I'm not against parents' active participation in the education of their own children because I'm a parent too.
But participation shouldn't include threats and intimidation. Participation shouldn't include efforts to demonize and intimidate and OSTRACIZE a vulnerable minority of students within the student body, their teachers, or their parents.
Participation should not include the exclusion of historical FACT under the guise that these FACTS may prove racially/culturally "uncomfortable."
The teaching of America's racist past, and the lingering effects, should not be uncomfortable when the lessons include the TRUTH that people of MANY races worked, fought, and even died, on BEHALF of equal opportunity and civil rights for ALL.
In fact, maybe lessons about certain events in our past SHOULD be uncomfortable - the better by which to HOPEFULLY LEARN to avoid the SAME MISTAKES NOW and in the future.
RIGHT !! The TRUTH above if BLUE !!B.See » 20 Aug 2022, 1:13 am » wrote: ↑ When I created my first thread on what Republicans are doing to education in America, I called it an assault. An ASSAULT? REALLY ?
However that assault has since become an all out, uncloaked in dog-whistle subterfuge, WAR... on not only education, but on KNOWLEDGE ITSELF. HA!! WHAT it is... is Liberals trying to TAKE OVER the INDOCTRINATION of America's children, into LIBERALISM, and into MARXIST Socialist Doctrines ! THAT isn't "KNOWLEDGE" it's PROPAGANDA !!
Back then I spoke of right wing threats to teachers and administrators as to what could and couldn't be taught, laws limiting and dictating curriculum, hate base demagoguery that demonized minorities, transgenders, and gays, right winged efforts to monitor, police, report, and even prosecute educators and administrators, Ummm... it's called Parents RIGHTS... and the RIGHT of the Parents to determine what kids are taught.. NOT the Democrat Party's "RIGHT" to INDOCTRINATE kids into Liberal doctrine... that 90% of parents believe is HARMFUL !! THAT is what NAZI Germany did, AND what Stalinist Russia and Marxist China does ! So, HOW is THAT good for America ???
and the resultant exodus of teachers and administrators BECAUSE of it. Catholic and Parochial schools have NO SUCH "Teacher Problem"... MAYBE what you are highlighting is a problem with the PUBLIC schools... WHERE, by the way, LIBERALISM is concentrated !
And NOW that war has ALSO devolved into attacks, intimidation, and even violent threats, directed not only at teachers and school administrators, but toward school board members, elected representatives, libraries, librarians... and EVEN STUDENTS THEMSELVES. When Liberals disagreed with the status quo back in the 1960's... THAT was called "Free Speech"... NOW, YOU call it Intimidation? HA!! YOU are a FOOL... WHAT it is, is parents exercising their RIGHT of Free Speech, and Free Thought... and THAT scares the BE-Jesus out of Liberals !!
PG THREAD RULES: applies to this thread as all my PG enabled threads: rational discussions, points counter points, rebuttals and responses are welcome, but NOT personal insults, name calling, fabricating 'direct' quotes, hate speech, drive by **** posting, trolling, and senseless content. Some who've habitually engaged in such have already been uninvited, while others have NOT been uninvited...yet. JUST MORE Liberal attempts to MUZZLE Free Speech, and DICTATE the conversation to ONLY include what the liberals WANT to talk about !! Well, THIS is STILL America, and if you want THAT kind of control over free speech... MAYBE Russia or China is abetter option for YOU... Tickets to YOUR Marxist utopia are available at your nearest Travel agency !
I pg'd your response because (besides calling me a fool) you've blended it up in a way that makes it appear to be part of my original post. You're welcome to respond again, without blending your words with MINE.
