As a mother of two, I’m well acquainted with the tradition of back-to-school shopping. But this time, preparations look different for many families. From invasive COVID-19 vaccine requirements and woke curricular materials to surging costs for school supplies, back-to-school season has parents peeved — and for good reason. From the beginning, President Joe Biden and Democrats have put special interest groups over students. The Biden administration slow-walked school reopenings and prioritized teachers unions’ demands over parents’ needs, with Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Rochelle Walensky meeting with families just once while granting “instant access” to union bosses. In fact, Walensky even admitted that she changed the CDC’s school reopening guidance to give teachers unions “what they need.” Emails show she went so far as to recommend that schools keep their doors shut — just because the unions said so.… …Now, Democrats in Washington, D.C., have handed families in public, charter, and private schools an ultimatum: Get the COVID-19 vaccine or be expelled… Even when students are in the classroom, they’re being bombarded with woke propaganda and radical gender ideology. In California, the San Diego Unified School District is promoting K-12 lesson plans that encourage children to explore “gender identities,” such as “non-binary,” “pansexual,” and “two-spirit.” In Washington, D.C., schools, children as young as 4 years old are being taught to identify “racist” family members and check their own “white privilege.” And in more than 4,500 classrooms all over the country, instructors are teaching the New York Times’s “1619 Project,” a discreditedleft-wing alternate history that claims the United States is inherently and irredeemably racist, as fact. Parents who speak out at school board meetings have little recourse; when they do, they risk becoming targets of an FBI investigation, thanks to Attorney General Merrick Garland… …On the other hand, Republicans are championing parental rights and educational opportunity for every student. Over the 2020-2021 school year, 19 of the top 20 states with the highest percentage of in-person student learning were led by Republican governors. It’s Republicans who have fought against critical race theory and leftist efforts to replace parents with the state. In Oklahoma, Gov. Kevin Stitt disciplined two Democrat-dominated school districts for failing to remove CRT from their curricula. And in Florida, Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill protecting parental rights in education. Republicans have also led the charge for school choice expansion. Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin increased funding for educational options, strengthened parents’ rights over their child’s learning, and banned CRT from being taught in his state. And in the Grand Canyon State, Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey signed the most expansive school choice law in the nation. As a mother, I understand how insulting it is to co-parent with the government. I’ve seen the strain that inflation is putting on family budgets. And I know I’m not alone. All over the country, parents are protesting at school board meetings, recalling rogue school board members, and running for office themselves. If Democrats think these parents aren’t going to show up at the polls on Election Day this November, they’re in for a surprise. Democrats are woke. Parents are awake. read more: https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/...mily/democrats-are-woke-but-parents-are-awake The contrast between the democrats and the GOP on the education of our children could not be more clear. It is obvious to parents who care about the future of their children that the GOP is offering a far superior set of ideas. The one silver lining of covid is that parents witnessed first hand what the school boards, teachers unions, and democrats were doing to our children.
The OP author sees first hand the mess that woke progressives are making of our nations educational system. Fortunately there are alternatives for we the people
I agree that woke ideology is making a mess of things, but the nonsense that their counterparts on the right want to replace it with isn't any better.
How did the Democrats manage to take over schools in about a year since the last election? How did theu do so in red areas? I think this is pretty much an exaggerated issue since all school elections are local and under the control of the local voter technically the local school should mirror the values of the community that runs it. You are also right when you say that there are alternitives to the local public school.
Leftists Crushed in School Boards Across Florida. Dirtbag Merrick's "Terrorist" PARENTS RISE UP IN DEFENSE OF THEIR YOUNG: 'Florida flipped multiple major school boards from leftist to conservative Tuesday evening, continuing a nationwide trend of parents taking back control of public schools.' INVOLVED PARENTS 'Florida school board elections have been a major political battleground this cycle, with big names like Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) and Rep. Byron Donalds (R) making endorsements and joining the campaign trail.' THE FUTURE WILL BE DETERMINED BY OUR YOUTH 'While primary elections occurred in Florida, New York, and Oklahoma Tuesday, Florida has general elections for school boards, meaning the winners will be the official members of the boards.' 'Many of the winning candidates have been endorsed by the 1776 Project PAC, an organization that has been instrumental in flipping school boards from leftist to conservative across the country.' “We saw massive election victories all throughout the state of Florida tonight,” 1776 Project PAC founder Ryan Girdusky told Breitbart News Tuesday. “It shows the desire of parents and residents across the country for some normalcy in our education system, and that means pushing against transgender ideology, critical race theory, critical gender ideology, and equity which destroys merit in education.” ANTI-GROOMER “The 1776 Project PAC hopes to take these successes across the country,” GOOD!
ABOUT TIME: Pushback: Maine parent wins lawsuit against school board for attempting to ban him. 'Shawn McBreairty, a Maine parent who repeatedly challenged two different local school districts, including his own, for their efforts to teach the queer agenda to little children, yesterday won a $40K settlement from one of those school boards, Regional School Unit #22, after a court judge had ruled that the board’s actions to ban and censor McBreaity clearly violated his first amendment rights.' THAT'S WHAT YOU DO TO THESE CENSORIOUS BASTARDS, YOU BEAT THEM AT THE BALLOT BOX AND IN BETWEEN ELECTIONS YOU HAUL THEIR LEFTIST ASSES INTO THE COURTROOM AND FORCE THEM TO EXPLAIN THEMSELVES. THAT'S WHEN THEY GET THEIR CHECK BOOKS OUT AND PAY DAMAGES. 'McBreairty tried to read aloud at a board meeting the pornography contained in several books that the school board had approved for its school children, he was silenced, then banned from attending school board meetings, both in person and virtually, for the next eight months.' The school board deemed that what they approved for children was so sexually offensive that it could not be shared with adults! 'When the judge ruled entirely in McBreairty’s favor, issuing a temporary injunction against the school board’s actions, the board clearly recognized its case would not hold up in court, and it chose to settle, paying $40K for McBreairty’s legal fees. As the judge noted in her decision:' t is hard to shake the sense that the School Board is restricting the speech because the Board disagrees with both Mr. McBreairty’s opinions and the unpleasantness that accompanies them. The judge is exactly right. That's exactly why this fascist school board banned and silenced this parent.
Democrats are woke, but parents are awake Translation: Democrats believe in liberty and justice for all but the radical and bigoted right support a caste system where only parents who support a caste system will be given a voice and be allowed to jam their immorality and anti-Christian agenda down the throats of others who have a different viewpoint.
Does it ever seem like the activists want to completely abolish the distinction between male and female:
~ More parents are now likely to push for ' school choice ' . https://www.the74million.org/articl...hool-choice-wishes-common-core-a-quiet-death/
parents don't want other peoples "beliefs" pushed on their children, they will do that as home with their own beliefs, some on the left and the right need to learn that
Is pedophilia being repositioned as just another sexual orientation like heterosexuality and homosexuality:
House Panel: ‘No Legitimate Basis’ for Biden DOJ Investigating Parents Protesting School Boards. NO KIDDING “From the initial set of material produced in response to the subpoenas, it is apparent that the Biden administration misused federal law-enforcement and counterterrorism resources for political purposes” Lying Dirtbag Merrick. Thank you Turtle, For Keeping This Diabolical Ass Off SCOTUS 'In the fall of 2021, when fed-up parents began protesting woke content in schools by showing up at school board meetings, the National Association of School Boards begged the Biden DOJ to get involved. Parents were, in some cases, labeled domestic terrorists and even investigated. None of this was necessary. It was all about politics. House Republicans have just confirmed this.' Just as we said. 'Parents were fed up with radical policies being foisted on their children and showed up en masse at school board meetings to voice their concerns. The trend repeated itself across the country, but it was particularly noteworthy in Virginia due to the tightly contested governor’s race at the time between a former governor, Terry McAuliffe, a Democrat, seeking to return to office, and the eventual winner, Glenn Youngkin, a Republican…' TRIED TO FIX THE VA GOVERNORSHIP 'While the race was ongoing and parents were showing up at meetings, Attorney General Merrick Garland released a memo calling for a Justice Department investigation into “threats” to local school boards, despite having no evidence that any such danger existed. That followed a National School Boards Association letter to President Joe Biden asking for the administration to crack down on parents.' 'The House report found that the Justice Department’s “own documents demonstrate that there was no compelling nationwide law-enforcement justification for the Attorney General’s directive or the Department components’ execution thereof.”' FEWER AND FEWER ARE FOOLED BY THESE CORRUPT RAT BASTARDS
The fact that this brainwashing has been going in the public schools for as long as it has plainly demonstrates just how low a priority children have become in this society. Can you imagine the outcry there would be if the government threatened to take away the mortgage tax deduction? Most people could care less about the kids and haven't since the 70's. Once the family is no longer the centerpiece of your society, it's down the drain you go... . Just look at these people in power! Do they look like people who care about children?
'FBI investigated a number of these parents and came up with a whole lot of nothing.' https://redstate.com/jeffc/2023/03/...rotesting-indoctrination-went-nowhere-n721489
