There’s been a lot of controversy over Joe Biden’s seeming reluctance to want all the public schools opening up as soon as possible. Obviously, that’s not making a lot of parents very happy.
But if they saw what just happened at Porter Ridge High School in Indian Trail, North Carolina, they just might not want to send their kids back.
A teacher, as part of an assignment, asked kids to list what political party they would choose and had them write it down, and explain why. The teacher then publicized to the rest of the class what each student had chosen and what they had written, with conservative students being bullied, according to WCNC.
One mother described how her daughter was bullied for being a Republican. She said that the daughter got threats, “These threats that, ‘we’ll show them!’ Or, ‘I can’t wait until I see her,'” the mother explained.
Students took pictures of the students’ answers with their names next to them and spread them throughout the school so kids from other classes were soon involved in the bullying and threats.
The mother said given the “climate” now, “people are too politically charged up” and she said it’s “just creating a toxic environment.” She blasted the teacher. “That teacher put a target, he outed these children.”

The ‘bullying’ was a feature, not a bug...
Yep. In the area where I grew up, many public schools have Christmas programs that are just as good as the private Christian schools. Prayers and all. The problem isn’t public schools, it’s letting the idiots in and then letting them start running the show.
Time for restraining orders re releasing the names of students and their writings WITHOUT PARENTAL PERMISSION.
Make it a criminal offense and see how fast t his crap stops.. Also threaten to sue the principal, school board, etc. if they don’t stop this practice.
This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
It won’t take much of a spark for this to ignite nationally.
There are a lot of good, decent, and well educated conservatives who are at their tipping point with the insanity.
My brother in law was a 6th grade teacher in a hoity toity school district outside of Philadelphia back during the 2012 election. His students all insisted they were liberal democrats. He had them write out answers to questions about what they believed. Turned out the overwhelming majority of them espoused conservative values. LOL.
This will only get worse as people insist on sending their children to their enemies for an education.
The courts will rule that the parents do not have standing.
