Not just an idea, this should be MANDATED!
Like vaccines?
I thought we were against authoritarianism? Or is that just when it best suits our ideology and goals?
Don't twist my words, Skippy. As taxpayers and parents, Americans can and should mandate what is taught in the local schools. The government, nor the teachers' union, nor anyone else "owns" the schools except as a facilities maintenance and security system... but The People own what goes on in those schools as to curricula and their children's education.
Vaccines are an entirely different matter, and if you don't understand that... hmmm, well I could EXPLAIN it to you, but I can't UNDERSTAND it for you.
Mandating what is taught is accomplished by running for school board and atte ding meetings.
Too many people don't give a shit about that, and then when teachers are given the curriculum to teach parents get up in arms.
Leftists are fucking ACES at getting involved and steering society's ships.
Parents who send kids to private school do their due diligence and on top of that, PAY. Public schools are at the whim of the board, which is up to the local parents to choose and pressure.
True, nobody is saying otherwise.
Also true, nobody would disagree with that.
Not so much. Authoritarianism is authoritarianism. It is an appeal by right to authority over another group of humans. Mandating a vaccine, or mandating a surveillance apparatus, they are one in the same in that they are both subjecting a group to an unwarranted and unreasonable authority. Teachers answer to their principles. Principles answer to their District Directors. District Directors answer to the School Board.
You want to become involved? Learn your place in the chain of command, and the power you already have as a community member. School Boards have an insane amount of power. You would know that if you were deeply involved in one.
You may choose the curriculum, you may be involved in schools, you may sit in on the classes, and the school meetings, but you do not have the right to spy on other American workers, no matter if they are taxpayer funded or not. You would be violating basic human rights, and eroding trust in the institution and profession.
By your reasoning we should not be mandating...oh, let's say traffic laws. If you want to drive the wrong way on an interstate and high speed, according to your "logic" that should be quite alright, because by God no one's going to tell Skippy what he can do.... "You're not the boss of me!"
Mandating a curriculum is not authoritarianism, it's common sense. Otherwise you're going to bad things.... you know, like Critical Racism Theory, and Drag Queen reading hours with children. Again, if you don't see the difference, then I will be unable to explain it to you in any simpler, one-syllable words.
