School Boards under fire by concerned parents (Page 1/1) olejoedad MAY 17, 11:32 AM Here is a thread where you can post about the state of education in America ( or wherever you live). It's good to see pushback from parents. Education is the greatest gift we can give our children. https://youtu.be/l-TuRpk2NeA 82-T/A [At Work] MAY 17, 02:46 PM I'm going to put this out there, before our friends on the left side of the isle complicate the argument. Republicans (generally), want to get rid of books that have explicit sexual content, or anything that pushes Communist ideologies or Critical Race Theory ... in grade school. College is a great place for you to go find yourself... not elementary school, not middle school, etc. That is a place where PARENTS determine, through elections to the school board, what kind of material they will learn, and generally... that's MATH, SCIENCE, HISTORY, ENGLISH, ENGINEERING, etc. The problem is that for a long time, parents stopped really paying attention to what's going on in the school boards. Most school board members are propped up by the local teacher's unions... so, it becomes a means of extorting money from the taxpayers. Parents and voters are waking up, and this is why in most states, there has been a complete turn-over of school boards, including places like San Francisco. Democrats, generally want to push whatever they're being told is "forward leaning," which means bringing attention to a protected class. But it really goes beyond that... Democrat voters are well-intentioned, but misinformed (in my opinion), because many of the books that have been replaced include books like To Kill a Mocking Bird, Tom Sawyer, the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, etc. Books like these should never have been banned. They are classics, but are being banned because it alters the narrative that the left is trying to push... that people are inherently biased and racist. For example, anyone who's read any of those books knows that they deal directly with racism... and the protagonist in every one of those books is a child who (without bias), tries to help a black man or black child. So these books were banned. Other books that Democrats have tried to inject INTO the public school system are books like, "The Joy of Sex," which was a book written in the 70s that exists for literally no other reason than to provide a multitude of sexual positions. For almost any child that grew up in the 1980s and early 1990s... your parents probably had one hidden under the bed or something. This does NOT mean that it needs to be put in elementary schools, or middle schools, or even high schools. Literally, there is no point in pushing this kind of stuff on kids. olejoedad MAY 17, 02:54 PM A former Soviet leader said something along the line of 'Give me your kids for two generations and we will rule your country'. ray b MAY 17, 03:59 PM Gop shows the true colors as book burners Khristian Karen's want to CON-TROLL SCHOOLS for their KLANS you do not have to hide it from the kids ray b MAY 17, 04:03 PM quote Originally posted by olejoedad: A former Soviet leader said something along the line of 'Give me your kids for two generations and we will rule your country'. and yet it was the young that stood up in the streets and said NO it failed LETS TRY SOMETHING NEW then the evil putin came and stole their dreams but the rightwing loved his LOOKS just like the rumps words why try and fail with strong men [who are thieves] olejoedad MAY 17, 09:39 PM He's smoking the green acid again.... ray b MAY 18, 09:30 AM quote Originally posted by olejoedad: He's smoking the green acid again.... ^ a good example of con ''thinking'' no debate just attack if anyone questions their DOGMA attack them never answer the question no discussion of ideas just censor the questioner by attacking with BS why must the book be burnt ? why celebrate the censors as a good thing ? why hide it from the kids ? all part of rhonda's don't say gay evil plans ray b MAY 18, 09:35 AM btw 6000 teaching jobs EMPTY SOON TO BE 10,000 WHO QUIT that is rhonda's legacies empty schools with conned BS censor not educators running them
