‘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.

Never heard of this person before but I am disgusted by the arrogance of Alicia Messing.

Dunning-Kruger and that’s being generous.

Teaching children "what society needs them to be taught" is the job of the parents, who will use their own values and judgment to provide their children with the proper perspectives.

Meddling in this is no part of a teacher's job, and if this teacher doesn't understand that, she should find another job.

You can get a master’s degree from a diploma mill. How about South New Hampshire?

"'What do the parents have?’ Messing asked."

Common sense, perhaps?

Morals?

Things that this Messing person apparently does not possess.

What in the H.E. Double hockey sticks are these things in our schools for? It’s a no brainer- keep them out! Sue those that refuse to- There should be no question at all that those things do NOT belong in schools-

Here is the retort.

“Parents have gone to the old school..the school of hard knocks.”

“And for you Ms Master degree, you should go back and demand your money back because you have not learned a dam thing.” “You are a drag on society.”

There are plenty of “conservatives” here willing to give their children over to these public school nuts.

I have a masters from Stanford. It means jack compared to a parent’s relationship with their child.

Masters degrees in education aren’t very hard to get anymore. The standards have really been undermined in recent decades.
