An Arizona teacher claims her credentials means she outranks parents
American Thinker ^ | 20 Feb, 2023 | Andrea Widburg

What she said is what many teachers think, and it’s a concept that needs to be destroyed to protect America's children.

Before women’s lib, America’s teachers were often the best and brightest women in a college class because teaching was one of their few career options. Since women’s lib, the women who achieve academically usually choose majors other than teaching. Teachers today tend to fall into two categories: (1) A small number of men and women (usually conservative) with a real passion for education and (2) insecure, narcissistic people who struggle academically and look to a room full of helpless children to validate their ideology and sexuality. Alicia Messing, an Arizona educator, definitely falls in the second category.

Messing came to our attention because she testified before the Arizona Senate Education Committee to protest Arizona bill SB 1700, which will amend Arizona’s existing education laws to give parents the right to review and, through a defined procedure, to seek to remove inappropriate books from libraries and classrooms, especially books that promote non-traditional sexual and gender roles or that normalize pedophilia. Incidentally, as little as twenty years ago, this kind of thing went without saying. Now, thanks to leftist incursions in education, it’s a fight.

And in the frontline of the battle to preserve teachers’ rights to inundate children with inappropriate material stands Alicia Messing, the proud holder of a Masters’s degree in education. Messing believes that this degree gave her superpowers that raised her to a degree of enlightenment that, in her own mind, must go unchallenged, especially by those brutish troglodytes known as parents. She didn’t say that explicitly but she sure said it implicitly:

Some parents might have a thing or two to say about her worthless degree.

A master’s degree in education is a farce generated to get paid more money, to extract excessive money from the educational system.

Remember when most teachers were mothers, or young women who wanted to get married and become mothers?

We should go back to that.

Lincoln was educated in a one room, dirt floor cabin.

Reminds me of the New Jersey teacher who told Chris Christie in an education town hall that she deserved to make over $80,000 per year because she had a masters degree.

If she were to compare her master’s degree with her academic abilities, her argument falls apart. Public school teachers have progressively become dumber and dumber as college admissions qualifications and degree standards have become more and more meaningless.

I thought the cash registers now automatically make change.

The basic premise of any authoritarian group is: THEY are smarter and know better than US.

A degree in “Eddikashun” holds as much prestige as one purchased from the back of a cereal box. It is sad to think that these clowns realizeth not that their SAT scores compete strongly for the last place of all university majors. My apologies to the good and competent teachers (not educators) out there.

The academic industry has long been a cult where all that matters is the letters after your name, not the actual education.

I'd put my BS in computer science over her "education" any day. And maybe one day I'll be as good at programming as a fella I know with an AS in CS.
