maybe it’s being in the public schools that has inured you to this kind of thing? we are very attuned to leftwing bias and we point it out wherever we see it, be it where a field trip lunch is held or book choices for lit class—this teacher required Nickel and Dimed for summer reading the year before last which is RIDICULOUSLY left wing, contains the F word and passages which mock Christians. Are you familiar with the premise of the book? leftwing college professor leaves her job to go and take minimum wage jobs in various parts of the country to see if she can make it. Bottom line, anyone POOR was noble, anyone with $ was a souless monster. one of the positions she took was with Merry Maids, cleaning houses. During the class discussion, xsjunior’s leftwing teacher was taken aback to discover that everyone in the class HAD A CLEANING LADY cleaning their house, and kids were recounting all the nice stuff that their families did for the cleaning ladies! LOL! what a dimwit. She teaches at a school that costs an arm and a leg and she’s amazed that the students have cleaning ladies. part of my problem with this field trip eatery is knowing full well the idealogy of the teacher who chose it.
I don’t think it has anything to do with public schools. You’re just in a much more liberal area. Which is why I’d take lunch with a grain of salt, so to speak.
My daughter’s gone to the zoo and the science center. Of course, she’s in grade school, but I wouldn’t expect there to be a “literary field trip” at any time in her schooling here.
Next week I’m chaperoning any overnight field trip at an “environmental camp,” but I expect it to be about nature and conservancy, not about polar bears and melting ice caps.
And I hope xsjr told the teacher that minimum wage jobs are for the young and inexperienced, not for grown adults with any modicum of talent.
Task your daughter with finding leftie influence while she is there and report back to you. That should keep her eyes open. I can’t seem to see anything on the website but the appetizers. I would eat there, maybe not a second time.
