‘I have a master’s degree. What do parents have?’, asks teacher before getting schooled by parents
Twitchy ^ | 220/23

Posted on 02/20/2023 10:40:16 AM PST by MAGA2017

Special education teacher, Alicia Messing, testified before the Arizona Senate Education Committee in opposition to Arizona bill SB1700. The bill would give parents greater insight into materials used by their schools and a procedure for objecting to material they find objectionable, especially those that are found to be ‘lewd or sexual in nature, that promote gender fluidity or gender pronouns or that groom children into normalizing pedophilia’.

Messing seemed quite confident that her master’s degree qualified her to make these decisions for parents.

She went even further to explain her philosophy with the following quote:

‘The purpose of public education is not to teach only what parents want their children to be taught. It is to teach them what society needs them to be taught.’

‘What do the parents have?’ Messing asked, after touting her master’s degree.

I watched the video. This edumacator does not look trans or crazy. She looks decent IQ. But will not admit who pays for her bloated piggy salary and pension.

The parents do! Any they are sick and tired of their children being brainwashed at a young age. With trans and gay garbage/ These .Edu groomers will not leave the kids alone.

‘What do the parents have?’

We have children. Children that we do not want to have some dip-s*** like you deciding on what level of porn they can be exposed to.

I was talking to hubby about this last week; and, I think we need to start looking at the Teaching Colleges in these Universities and examine what the He** they are teaching these students about what to teach in a classroom of elementary age school children.

A Masters of Education means very little.

An Ed Doctorate probably less than that.

Ask Dr. Jill Biden and "Dr." Bill Cosby.

As a matter of fact, it’s true that the purpose of public education is to teach what the State wants. I am constantly amazed that people seem incapable of receiving this fact. They’re in denial, desperate to believe that the State can be trusted. People who won’t trust a cop or bureaucrat somehow feel no hesitation in entrusting their children to state paid indoctrinators, and feel aggrieved when the result is unsatisfactory.

Apparently, a lot of law degrees mean very little, too. After all, Kamala Harris can’t string ten words together into a coherent sentence.

Bill Cosby’s was an HONORARY degree. But your point is well taken.

A masters in a soft science does not mean squat.

The three R’s are all that matter. Everything else should be taught via private lesson, or by parents. Event then, parents have a huge role to play with teaching the basics.

Good answer. I have a BBA in Public Accounting (with unofficial minors in ROTC and Critical Thinking) and a Masters Degree in Management while commanding a 300+ soldier battery.

Needless to say, I had no personal life for 18 months.

The critical thinking was from the core curriculum at Gonzaga, and 30+ semester hours of upper division accounting from the same professor: he never used numbers, and his tests were all essay questions.

Yes. Dr. Cosby got several honorary degrees, but his Ed.D from Amherst was "earned."

Cosby earned doctorate, but in an unusual way

He did a lot of things in an unusual way.

For the brief times my children did attend government schools. The teachers addressed me as Dr.

Adolf Hitler considered education to be a very important factor in Nazi Germany.
When he wrote ‘Mein Kampf’ Hitler wrote “whoever has the youth has the future”.
In Hitler’s Germany, education would be the key that ensured that he had “the youth” of Germany.

Just saying.

Getting a master’s in teaching is like getting an AA in anything else
