I belonged to a teachers' union for a short time when I first started teaching. I still get their newsletter a couple of times a year. It is nothing but Marxist propaganda, every word of it. They all cry that everything they do is "for the students," but in reality, everything they do is to make their own lives easier. They've done nothing but help to destroy education in this country, largely through the bigotry of low expectations, which brings us ideas like math and homework are racist and you can't suspend black and brown kids, even though they receive the most disciplinary infractions for a reason (because they have no family structure). They also push ideas like black kids can't get anything out of novels that aren't about other black people, and forcing them to read the English classics is also racist, which is why the classroom next to mine was reading a book about George Floyd last semester. They love "strategies" like restorative justice and PBIS, and if you don't know what those are, look them up. It's why today's kids have absolutely no concept of responsibility.
The irony of teachers' unions incessantly bitching about low pay is that if they actually worked to improve education in this country, the general public would support those salary increases. Until then, as a public school teacher, I look forward to seeing the entire education system collapse within the next few years.
Perhaps you can shed some light on something my landlord said. She used to work in education, and I wanted her comments on the pedo garbage in schools. She said that it was being pushed on them, from their superiors. I don't know how far up the corruption goes. I commented that these teachers have a duty to refuse the sexualization of children under the guise of "just doin muh job." I'll admit, I'm taking a pretty strict stance on this, but what could be more important than children.
I have only worked in high schools, so teachers generally get away with a lot more at that level anyway, but I'll tell you what I think. It might help to know that I have also worked in two different states, one in the Southwest and one in the Southeast where I live now. Out west, things are A LOT more liberal and I saw some questionable things. For instance, about six years ago, my school hosted drag queens at an after-school event. Where I am now, leftist policies are slowly trickling down, but it's not as extreme...yet.
I agree that it is pushed on teachers, but it happens from the very start. The origin of all of this is the university system. The universities create the PhDs who do their "research" and come back to design the teaching programs that create new teachers, and they pump out the graduate degrees for all the administrators and policy-makers in the public education system. There's not a single teacher, principal, superintendent, or state-level bigwig who hasn't been exposed to the straight-up Marxism and hypersexual garbage that universities are teaching in their education programs (and have been for at least thirty years). And if you don't go along with it, you either won't get hired or you won't last long.
There's such a big push to be "inclusive" and accepting of LGBT kids today that sex inevitably becomes a topic in high schools. Kids are also exposed to massive amounts of porn and explicit lyrics from the time they're in elementary school. Kids know too much about sex far too early, and perversion is normalized. I have so many kids, if not the majority, who describe themselves as bisexual or pansexual now. This was NEVER the case even ten years ago. And now, when kids see sexual material in school, it's just normal to them. And the responsible adults feel like they're helping to give the kids a "safe space" to figure things out and feel "validated." Yes, they're just "doing their job," or worse, they feel like they're doing a noble thing. It's virtue-signaling.
About eight years ago, I had to take a literacy course on a college campus for my license, and I was told that I should burn any copies of Skippyjon Jones I find because it's racist against Mexicans (it isn't). Meanwhile, these same instructors are putting books in their classrooms about gay pride, two mommies, and picking pronouns.
Sounds like another version of regulatory capture. The damage has been done for some generations, but it would be nice to see teachers around the world, stand together in their refusal of indoctrinating children. What could TPTB do, if every teacher refused to toe the line. It's a pipe dream, but the consequences of inaction are staggering.
Edit...upon further reflection, I'm reminded of Hollywood. You have to be part of the pedo club, if you don't want to get blacklisted. They're doing it in education now.
My wife (Reg. Nurse) works at the local school and has also experienced this. When she pointed out that it was wrong to keep locking the same "bad behavior" boy in the padded room until he calmed down, her union president "yessed" her to death and reluctantly agreed to elevate the matter to the State Union Rep. This kid would quickly calm down when my wife took the time to comfort him and give him tips on how to relax and get through the school day. The teacher and the aids would do the opposite and THREATEN the boy that he would be put in the room if he didn't do what he was told. The poor kid was terrified of the room and only calmed down after 30-40 minutes of screaming and pounding on the padded door from exhaustion.
The Union Rep must be in cahoots with the town lawyer and superintendent because the rep said it wasn't my wife's "job" to advocate for the kids. My wife brought this situation up to the school principal and they quickly scheduled a meeting to discuss the matter.
At the meeting was the principal, Union Rep, Curriculum Director and the classroom teacher. They all tried to gaslight my wife into believing that she misspoke and really didn't have a problem with how the kid was being restrained.
She refused their BS and later when it came time to bid on new job openings, my wife was accused of Assault and Battery on a fellow staff member during a field trip months beforehand when she never even touched the person.
These union rats will play the system down and dirty to protect their interests. The poor kids that are stuck there everyday will never have a chance at a wholesome education like our grandparents had.
Wow. That must be a hell of a position to be in. I wouldn't want to work there. I was saying to the other person who worked in education that the union must be taking orders from higher up somewhere.
Yeap. They certainly are taking orders from higher up. We hired an attorney to help get my son get recognized for his disability so they would honor the accommodations recommended by the school psychologist. It became apparent early on in the process that even the attorneys know these union leaders and don't step out of line when there is any risk of exposing a school system or superintendent of wrong doing.
Home school. I just heard a pastor on VTN today talking about how we need to educate our children in ways that they will walk in the Lord's way. Deuteronomy 6:7
Now, think about sending the kids to public school and after 18 years, you don't even know them. Can you send them to school 30 hours of brain-washing and then try to teach them God's way 2 hours on Sunday to counter the 30 hours. Not happening.
Then the author went on to say who and what was the education system. Alice Bailey is the one in charge. If you don't know who she is, look up. She runs Lucifer's Press.

Thank you for sharing that. It's sad to know that. Someone must be taking orders from DS and higher up to set it up that way.
