Mr. Goodwin,
I’m very concerned about what Justin has been telling me about what goes on in school by the teachers.
Ms. Givens for example keeps talking about negative things in regard to our President! She doesn’t ever mention bad things about other prominent democrats just President Trump. Also I’m willing to bet she never talked like this about President Obama. If she can’t control her emotions should she really be teaching our children?
Also I heard in the assembly today that it was taught that there are more than 2 biological genders. This is obviously wrong as there are only 2 genders as defined in science. Please do not talk about non-scientific political items with my child while attending public school. Please let his teacher’s know that I would appreciate them focusing on the lesson plan and teaching him based on that lesson plan. The session today I thought was going to focus on teaching others to not bully, but instead it appears to have gone off course in some respects. Instead of learning English today (the class he needs the most attention in right now) he gets to be told nonsense about things such as there being more than 2 genders. Also there was a scenario where they were talking about building a wall to protect the US and it was used to be a racist thing.
Did you know this special lesson was going to get political? If so, why didn’t you tell the parents that this was going to be a political session for our kids to be taught what to believe?
Also can I get a copy of the rest of the lesson plans for him, so I can help teach him as well. I want to make sure there aren’t other political indoctrination sessions built into the lesson plan. And if there isn’t I will know the teachers are not supposed to be talking politics with the kids.
Justin is very uncomfortable with the things that are being said in some classrooms but he’s also very afraid to say anything because he doesn’t want to be targeted or cause problems with others. I would appreciate it if the teachers would show him the same respect he gives them by not talking their political or religious beliefs to him during school.
I wouldn’t get my hopes up if I were you.
I’ve done it before to the teachers when my older sons had a teacher getting stupid in the classroom.
One eventually had a breakdown and had to be fired ;-)
You need to share this information with other like minded parents (church, family, friends). I hate to say it, but you may have to compromise your principles and put some of your concerns on Facebook, or better yet have someone else with a FB acct post it.
I hate FB with a passion, but too often it seems that I have to access Mrs. P’s FB acct to find out what is going on in my community.
I already have it on facebook ;-)
And the Principals email address.
you should be able to go to the classroom and observe. Do open records on this school.
Isn’t Mr. Goodwin a Miss or Mrs?

Do you have the option to home school or have your child attend a Charter or Religious school?
The Left has 100% control of public education (on the Taxpayer’s Dime!) from Pre-K through College graduation.
Save your kid. You’re obviously doing a great job of parenting if he’s not drinking the Kool Aid, but you’re not going to win this battle, and certainly not this war.
Above all else, save your kid!
But after reading your other post, go Full Bulldog if you still have the will to fight! ;)
If you don’t get satisfaction from the teacher/administrator you might try attending a school board meeting or two. Get to know a sympathetic member and make your complaints to him or her. Of course it is quite possible that they are all never Trumpers as well.
Good for you. Nice job!
Don’t give up and continue to try to recruit others to speak up. If you get no response from the principal, go to his boss. I’m guessing that would be the superintendent of schools, but I don’t know. You should be able to find out easily enough.
Carry on, good citizen.
You’ve got some grammatical errors in there. Make sure you proofread it before submitting it.
Hard to see a problem with the school. They are owned and controlled by government, and this is exactly what government does.
What surprises me is how many people here have to learn that the hard way.
Yes it’s Ms. But I liked my typo... Kind of lets me make the point of this nonsense by calling her Mr.
All were intentionally not corrected. Drive home the point about needing to educate the kids on English not lefty politics. I’m hoping they take the bait.
Once upon a time I used to recommend Private, Catholic and Charter schools to other parent’s I’d meet who were outraged at the public/gov’t schools leftist indoctrination.
Then I discovered that the same Leftists that teach in Gov’t schools are also omnipresent in private and charter schools.
We searched for an alternative and we found a private school that teach the kids in a self-paced manner. Not strictly paying attention to grade level but, teaching to the student.
Allowing some students to progress above their grade level and giving extra attention to those needing it.
Our son thrived in this environment. He was suffocating in the other schools.
Today he is in his senior year at a top university about to graduate with a major in Computer Science and a minor in Electrical Engineering. He will take the PE exam after graduation.
If you wish your children to succeed it takes effort and involvement. You cannot simply assume that if you spend the money on a private school it is automatically better tan a gov’t school.
Thank you for taking this important first step. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Well I put two other kids through the same school. All are very capitalist now. Even more than me. And they know how to spot lefty indoctrination too.
Plus I get to make the school stop it too. And they will stop it just to keep me out of their business.
Good luck, but I do admire you for trying. Expect the standard responses, beginning with: “You’re the only complaining about this” (standard Alinsky tactic).
Ideally, you should try to round up other parents...but don’t expect much, most don’t want to ‘make trouble’ for their kids.
