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.
