tell them it's NOT a political science class... if the agitprop is going to continue tell them you want another teacher, after all, you ARE paying for it

Freeper help needed. My daughter is a Freshman in a Catholic High School. World History teacher is obviously a Democrat by her statements in class promoting Obamacare, and the fact that the economy has 'greatly improved' under this administration.
Archdiocine, and I guess the class is more World Issues
If she becomes a target, inconvenience the “teacher” and administration by seeing a lawyer
Run from it only as a last resort
Time to push these people out of jobs
REALITY CHECK A primetime network news segment focused on an "impoverished" latino mother who paid big bucks to get her/ son coached to take the College Boards---but he was so stupid, he still couldn't pass them. So the C/B decided to "change" them so that Pedro could pass using subversive Third World hate-filled US history.
Subversive Texas Textbooks---distributed nationwide--- vilify conservative groups
Breitbart Texas | 09/10/2014 | Merrill Hope / FR Posted by Rusty0604
In 2006, uber-liberal "Texas Rising" stated its mission: "developing an emerging generation of social justice-minded, informed and engaged leaders is essential to the long-term health of our communities and the development of progressive public policy in Texas."
...a sneak peak at the preliminary Social Studies textbook findings TTT has found including distortions, omissions and half- truths all passing for accurate high school history..."The radical right consists of groups that sometimes gather under the flag of militant anticommunism."
"Often known as reactionaries, they denounce most forms of government regulation, including progressive taxation and restrictions and industry. Strangely enough, these radicals would not hesitate to use the government's police power to enforce the changes they desire. Examples of political groups on the radical right are the John Birch Society, the National States & Rights party, The Christian Crusade, and the Tea Party movement."

=============================================
THIRD WORLD INFILTRATION College Board exams changed history answers... revisionist historians developed different answers to the question of what America’s story is about. From their perspective, at the heart of our country’s history—like the history of any other powerful nation—lies the pursuit of empire, of dominion over others. At its core, say the revisionists, America’s history is about our capacity for self-delusion, our endless attempts to justify raw power grabs with pretty fairy-tales about democracy. ....
NOTE WELL: This terrifying Third World revisionism is straight out of Third World textbooks---emphasizing the T/W effort to undermine US ntl security for the coming armed takeover.
The conniving T/W uses an ancient formula going back to Greco-Roman times---where savages, barbarians and thieves overrun a bountiful country lusting after its power and riches.
REFERENCE Some 10 years back, Texas schools started used Mexican textbooks for their backward illiterate Spanish-speaking students. Textbooks advocated the Mexican perspective including:
<><> anti-white, anti-capitalist anti-USA viewpoints;
<><> Mexican textbooks falsified US history,
<><> proselytized blood-thirsty La Raza savagery;
<><> using teaching as brainwashing;
<><> inculcating violent separatist, latino supremacy ideology.
=================================================
Americans demand US history be properly taught in all education setting---K-12 to college---and that students be taught to respect the foundations of our country. Moreover we demand those in education positions who tamper w/ US history, who denigrate our country's history, be shown the door...... and be penalized when necessary.
THE NAME OF THE IMMIGRATION REFORM GAME
decimate US culture and history---establish a separatist Third World on US soil.
Maybe the smart way to approach this is to do nothing wrt the school iof you are planning to have your daughter remain there; but use the occasion to develop an understanding and a deepening of the relationship with w/your daughter as to the limitations of people who happen to be in positions of authority over them, because this is a condition that is bound to repeat many times in her life. Talk to her about how it is sometimes necessary to get along with people whose views differ from yours, and you may even wish to discuss with your daughter how it can be in her interest to cheerfully agree with someone in authority position. Would you then be teaching her to manipulate others? Well, that’s among the topics you might discuss with her.
My daughter might be able to take her on as time goes on, she starts out a new situation a bit intimidated, but usually can hold her own in a real argument (as I well know!)
Be very careful with this. Be sure to check the wiretapping laws in your state. If it's a 2 party state, recording the teacher without their knowledge could be grounds for a lawsuit/criminal charges.
My 2 cents. Let it go. At least until she is out of his class. Then let the school know. The idiot teacher will find any reason to retaliate. As an aside, she will have to deal with idiots all her life, consider this practice
Honestly, the best thing that you could do for your daughter is to say nothing. It doesn’t sound like the teacher is belittling. It just sounds like he or she is verbose. Your daughter will have plenty of liberal teachers in her life. She will run across plenty of liberal people in her job. She has to learn how to deal and negotiate the real word and all of the political opinions therein.
Work with her so she understands the fallacies of what she hears, then she will be able to handle whatever is thrown at her. Trying to insulate her from that will hinder, not help, her intellectual development.
OTOH, if the monologues by the teacher are affecting timing of curriculum and kids aren’t learning what they should—that is what you can argue with administration.
Sounds like it might be okay to tape?
“Ohio’s wiretapping law is a “one-party consent” law. Ohio law makes it a crime to intercept or record any “wire, oral, or electronic communication” unless one party to the conversation consents. Ohio Rev. Code § 2933.52. Thus, if you operate in Ohio, you may record a conversation or phone call if you are a party to the conversation or you get permission from one party to the conversation in advance. That said, if you intend to record conversations involving people located in more than one state, you should play it safe and get the consent of all parties.
Additionally, consent is not required for oral communications (e.g., in-person conversations) where the speakers does not have a reasonable expectation of privacy in the communication. See Ohio Rev. Code § 2933.51. This means that you are free to record a conversation happening between two people in a public place such as a street or a restaurant, so long as you are not using sensitive recording equipment to pick up what you otherwise would not hear.”
1. Pray for the teacher.
2. Pray for the communicating that you will be doing. Ask the Holy Spirit to guide your words, leaving personal pride and temper out of it.
My kids are getting used to the fact that teachers are to the left of them. They raise an issue or respond to one, as best they can.
I don’t know if I would complain. It’s a good life lesson to have to put up with morons in positions of authority, especially in the working world. I help the child think through what what to do or say in class,but I expect them to make the call on whether to be quiet, or defend their views. By the way, our kids are in public school, and their, ahem, “challenging” teachers are usually English teachers.
~~~Since it is a Catholic school, I would bring up the Church’s position on Obamacare.~~~
What is the churches position on obamacare?
tell them it's NOT a political science class... if the agitprop is going to continue tell them you want another teacher, after all, you ARE paying for it
Then ask her what it was all for, since the country is rapidly becoming a third-rate power and a laughingstock around the world.
This is a world history class? At the beginning of the year did they give your daughter or you a syllabus? Can’t see how Obamacare came up in World History.
Increase in food stamp users, lower labor participation rate-especially for minorities, median income decline. You can even throw in income disparity with the top 0.5% income earners going up.
With 0-care, you can chronicle the rate and deductible increases. You can point out the number of physicians dropping out of 0-care. You can even show her the sharp stock price rise among health insurance companies.
You might want to check with Little Sisters of the Poor on that one.
Your complaint is valid. It has nothing to do with World History. Hopefully the teacher will get back on track.
In this case , the teacher left school because others had filed complaints and she was so arrogant she walked out .
Thats good.
I can tell you the one thing these admins fear is a letter downtown. I know cases where an admin type was 100% in the right but still got burnt because the parent went “downtown” with the issue. It is their ultimate fear and they will do ANYTHING to avoid it.
“I’d really want to try to solve this issue here at this level, I’d hate to have to go downtown...”
“Im sure we can find a solution here without having to involve the Archdiocise”
“Is promoting one political side of an issue, especially one rejected by the Church, supported by the Archdiocise? Is this something I should inquire about or do you think we can find a solution on our own?”
Wrap all your concerns with the usual goody goody BS about “both sides of an issue” “Inclusive of other opiinions” yada yada and about how you are not the type that usually yada yada but this is something that realy has you upset.
Well it looks like your getting lots of advice....
