Should parents have a say in the content/curriculum of their child's education?
Parents are being denied the right to influence the political narratives which are now occupying more and more of our children's education.
So called political correctness, * deviant gender studies* internalized raaaaacism, systemic raaaaaacism along with the mythical white privilege, white supremacy and radical leftist ideologies are squeezing out the more vital 3 R's from our children's curriculum.
Parents are being arrested for protesting against the indoctrination of their impressionable children.
It used to be the hand that rocked the cradle was the person who forged the child's values and outlook on life.
Not any more, it's the academic peddlers of influence in the schools and institutions of education who are conditioning our children to believe in the mumbo jumbo of interchangeable gender, the evil of having white skin, particularly the unforgiveable sin of being a WHITE MALE.
When the parents demonstrate their wish to have a say in how and what non-academic subjects THEIR children are taught they are being arrested by the police.

Hello P:
If you're talking about education, I'd say sure.. But, you're talking about propaganda. A newly washed and sparkling clean country is NOT who we are. We are as FILTHY as you can imagine.
From a liberals point of view, the only way to change who we ARE, is to recognize it. Only then can we change who we're GOING to be. Denying the past consigns us to repeat it.
From a conservatives point of view, PRETEND it didn't happen. Then BURN the books that say it did.
And, you ARE. Be it the removal of the Holocaust graphic novel Maus from an eighth grade classroom in Tennessee, or attempts to yank classics like The Handmaid’s Tale from library shelves, ALL are attempts to control the materials children can access.
That's NOT education. That's propaganda, or as I call it, cancel culture. Used to be the conservative movement stood for limited government. Now, you're embracing the coercive use of law to commandeer a culture you fear you lost.
Don't emote what you are as though everyone is a piece of shit like you. You're filthy. You promote race division. We aren't you. We don't pretend the government wasn't doing risky research with Communists. We don't pretend the Chinese aren't harvesting peoples' organs. You're the filthy piece of shit that does that.
I agree. Excon is comfy with blacks having seperate dorms and graduations. He's comfortable with making sure skin color is injected into every situation just like his Klan party has always done. And that is very, very filthy. He should stop being a racist dickhead.
I guess making books unavailable has the same consequences as burning them.
Well, yes you're right, we can't chance the beginning, but we can start from now and try to change the ending.
What's going on in our schools presents a convincing argument that all our education institutes adhere rigidly to academic subjects such as the 3 R's, history, selected arts and sports.
Teachers, tutors or lecturers of history should all be required to work within very narrow parameters which offer little or no opportunity for them to apply their own personal slant on events of the past.
Social constructs such as gender-benders, the woke weirdos, and politics in general should be taught in private, fee charging schools where only those whose career aspirations would be dependent on such subjects.
Critical race theory doesn't teach that a civil war happened. It teaches that we have oppressors today and oppressed today and to accept your role in something you weren't a part of. It's a Communist tactic to infiltrate the education system and position the races, religions, classes, against each other to destroy the nation from within.
Almost all history including wars, has been logged to quite good levels of accuracy and passed down through the generations.
Every war will have it's reasons for happening and these reasons should be presented factually and without prejudice or with a personal spin.
Here's a fact;- At Elementary School a Miss Cartwright clearly stated to my class as part of a modern history lesson( modern then) that we should have been on the side of the Germans because they were a predominately protestant nation.
That's what I mean when I say that teachers should have virtually no wriggle room in which to introduce their personal slant on the fairly black and white subject of history.
As an ex Navy man this should interest you.
A ''High School history teacher'' included his own version of a WW2 event which I later, not much later, realized was total nonsense.
His lesson described how we permitted Japanese agents steal the doctored* blueprints for our latest design of Battleship.
The Japanese constructed this vessel to the defective specifications of the blueprint plans.
When they took the enormous warship out for sea trials it sank with the loss of all on board.
Given carte-blanch there is no telling what history teachers will tell our children.

Hello again, P:
I'm sorry.. A lot of people throughout my life lied to me too, including a lot of teachers. They shouldn't have. Poor me. But, I got over it. In the marketplace of ideas, it's ultimately up to ME to figure out what's what.
I simply, do not support censoring ANYBODY, unless he wants to put a sign in MY yard.. I'll decide who puts signs in my yard.
That doesn't mean there's carte blanch out there with everybody saying anything they want, to anybody they want. In the real world, if one misspeaks there are repercussions. If you have a job teaching, then you teach what your boss wants you to teach - nothing more and nothing less. If his opinion is called for, then I hired him for his opinion. My employees talk to my customers the way I want them to talk - nothing more, and nothing less.
In that same vein, IF I owned a website, I'd want my employees AND, my customers to say whatever I wanted them to say. I am a private business. My private business isn't covered by the 1st Amendment... Now, you can CALL my not hiring somebody censorship, but it's just me running my business the way I want to run my business..
You get that, right?
I BELIEVE the Constitution literally. I support it 100%.
Look, with the greatest respect, you just cannot present a rational and objective argument, so you really would be better not to try.
Even though the world's history consists of more than the American civil war it is important that, along with the rest of the 1000s of years if historical events, it is taught in a factual manner with the reason(s) being accurately addressed.
You're so much way off on a tangent talking about your back yard I must assume you're on that pot again.
The point was, teachers, remember, we're discussing teachers having too much free rein in how they decide to teach history and how this carte blanch freedom resulted in complete fabrications being taught to children.
We can refer to history and note that teachers can contaminate the minds of minors such as the Hitler Youth who were taught as children the fiction that Jews were to be persecuted as they were the reason for Germany's economic failures after WW1.
BY THE WAY, IF YOU HAD A BUSINESS YOU MOST CERTAINLY COULD NOT RUN IT AS YOU SO WISHED.
YOU WOULD HAVE TO CONFORM TO THE FAIR EMPLOYMENT LEGISLATIONS,
THE EQUALITY REGULATIONS, ADHERRANCE TO THE LEGAL DISMISSAL PROCEDURES, PUBLICALLY DISPLAY YOUR COMPANY'S STATEMENT OF ANTI-RACIAL AND RELIGIOUS DISCRIMATION CODES OF PRACTICE, HAVE AN APPROVED HEALTH & SAFETY MANUAL ALONG WITH THE NAME(S) OF YOUR TRAINED AND QUILIFIED SAFETY OFFICERS.
THEN YOU WOULD HAVE TO SUBMIT YOUR AUDITED ACCOUNTS TO THE I.R.S, ON A YEARLY BASIS AND KEEP YOUR BOOKKEEPING UP TO DATE FOR UNANNOUNNED INSPECTIONS/INVESTIGATIONS BY DULY APPOINTED TAX INSPECTORS.
I'M AFRAID ONCE AGAIN I MUST POINT OUT THAT YOU'RE LIVING IN A PARALLEL UNIVERSE.
I've covered the civil war in my penultimate post but, once again, for your sake, the civil war was fought over the resistance of the Southern States to accept the abolishment of slavery.
They lost and slavery was abolished.
The bloody battles and terrible loss of life are well documented in text and history books and romanticised by the entertainment industry.
Vulnerable elementary school children are being traumatized by the psychological and emotional abuse as their WOKE teachers exploit their young pupil's naive susceptibility and brainwash them into rejecting science and the innate biological structure of human nature.
