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:

One thing all leftist dirtbags have in common is that they are deluded into thinking they all are geniuses and are leaps and bounds ahead of conservative Neanderthals

I suspect she has existed her whole life in learning institutions and has never experienced any reality outside of that.

I’ll take my common sense over whatever book sense she might have any day.

I think the primary breeding ground for socialism is people credentialed in something useless. In their own mind, they’re so damn important because of the degree. In the real world they have nothing constructive to offer. Their activities are usually destructive.

Those who can, do. Those who can’t, teach.

She has a masters degree in arrogance, along with ignorance.
It sounds like
1) She doesn’t have kids to protect, and/or
2) she doesn’t know adult life outside of her own little closed mind.

What have parents got?

Skin in the game!

Their love, time, money, commitment. Responsibility for a child’s life. A teacher has a few hours of a child’s life. A parent has a lifetime relationship with a whole person, not just a face on a zoom screen or at a little desk.

The “Human Relations” she learned about in school made her an arrogant jerk!
