Republicans pushed almost 400 "education intimidation" bills in past two years.

Define porn.
Is porn a book on the physiological changes of puberty that includes how to insert tampons?
Is porn a book about the horrific treatment of slaves?
Or is it a book about two male penguins raising a chick?

 

Is there not legislation already existent re pornography?
Book bans have included books such as “When Wilma Rudolf Played Basketball”

want to explain how that book is “pornography”?

 

"Education Intimidation" sounds more like WOKE intimidate. Sadly, for you, Woke is fading into obscurity.

 

Well, then what will republicans have to do to distract their supporters? I mean they are off side with abortion, gun control and if “woke” is dead what next?

 

What's next? Normality and common sense. Teach math, language, history in school, not gender identity, boys in girls showers and bathrooms. Teach that the major of this country has worked almost from its founding to control racism. 'also teach that "progress" doesn't happen at the snap of fingers or the passage of a single bill or two. Teach that there's nothing wrong with being at the bottom of the ladder as long as you're doing everything you can to grasp the next rung. Teach the failure is not permanent unless you allow it to be.
And telach that not 100% of the populate can be in the top 1%

 

Geeeze but Faux can sell bunkum can’t it? Who says that they are not doing that now?

 

Which is exactly what the democrats have been doing since the sixties.

 

The parents who are seeing there kids graduate high school functionally illiterate and intellectually vacuous and addicted to porn.

 

Both parties have, but now we have a tsunami of 400 new partisan laws

I'd blame porn addiction on parents, not schools, since schools dont show porn, but kids are able to watch it home.

 

Students aren't being transitioned. You're promoting extreme rightwing lies.

Oh, and go beyond anecdotal stories when this country has 10,000+ school districts, 100,000+ schools, 4,000,000+ teachers, and 55,000,000+ K-12 students.

 

How about a good brainwashing while you're at it?

 

Sorry, I do not engage such comments.

Let me try:

Republicans are fascists.

That's only three words.

 

Rural areas need schools. If a rural school is owned (and operated) privately, a portion of the community may be upset if the school goes too far left or right. We don't need more reasons for people to move away from small towns.

As much as I support vouchers and school competition, I also taught in a small town high school and know how involved small communities are involved in schools. Nothing at the school went on that the community didn't know about. (My wife and I had our pick of babysitters. )

 

I want the proof. I've seen parents go before the school board and outright lie. Anyway, there are 10,000+ school districts, 100,000+ schools, 4,000+ teachers, and 55,000,000+ students in K-12 education in this country. You need more than anecdotal stories.

 

So...they can send their kids to a school of their liking.

 

We don't need leftists indoctrinating young children.

 

Vacuous allegation without foundation.

Exclusion of viewpoints and only allowing approved viewpoints to be read and heard IS what 'indoctrination' is.

That is precisely what Republicans are doing. So, you are projecting.

What 'leftists' are arguing is to allow all viewpoints in the library, not just the ones Republicans want kids to pay attention to, which is the OPPOSITE of indoctrination.

Republicans pay lip service to the first amendment, and here they are banning books.

"Education intimidation" = Education By Government. The Left used to know these things.

Those who do not like "Education Intimidation" should be demanding that control of the entire education budget be transferred to the control of the parents and guardians of children so they can negotiate directly with teachers who actually have the ability to educate children.

"Power To The People!" Remember?

 

Public education is education by government, and it's not intimidation.

Educators trained in the field should control the curriculum, not politicians who have an agenda. The problem with parents is that many are not that educated and those that are are not necessarily trained in the field of education. they should give feedback, and there are PTAs for that, but they should not control the curriculum no more than parents should tell doctors what to prescribe to patients.

If you want to control the curriculum, homeschool or send your kid to private school.

 

Have you ever lived in a small community? I lived in and taught in one. I knew most of the people in town. I had student government presidents babysit for us (I was the staff sponsor). Going out in town I was recognized by lots of people who knew of me (I was the BB coach) and often knew just about everyone I ran across. Public schools work these things out. Private schools might be a problem. They can't be religious, nor can they spout an ideology. People with ideologies want to push them, even coming in from the outside in small towns.

 

So people in a small town can't figure out how to educate their kids?

 

This stuff you're spouting are opinions and should be presented to students as such. They're supposed think for themselves.

 

Are you being obtuse? They don't need divisive ideologies as the basis for their school. Small towns can't support more than one high school, so it needs to be inclusive and in tune with the community. The elementary school principal was a Mormon and I taught all of his ten kids. My principal was a Methodist. We had a fair number of Catholics, Baptists, Methodists, Mennonites and atheists. The teaching staff, parents and community made the schools work.

 

If schooling was left to the individual people, there doesn't need to be a "high school". Kids could be taught in groups of 2, 3, 4, 10, 20, 60. Whatever.
