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

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.

She admits that society has replaced parents. Just like the Hitler Youth did.

I have learned how to think despite having a doctorate. My greatest mentor finished high school in 1943, and was the most educated person I ever knew. Thomas Sowell said it takes a lot of education to realize how little you know. Einstein said something very similar.

In the west, education is followed blindly like nationalism in China or religion in the Middle East. The professor or masters degreed person is equivalent to the ayatollah or imam in a Muslim country.

Nobody is smarter than the crowd, people who think they are smarter than the crowd always perceive that they’re the smartest person in the room and that’s just not the case.

Most of the time, the teachers DON’T See those parents. Because they don’t need to.

Why do you need a master’s degree to teach second grade math?

You are the teacher. They are the parents. They outrank you.

If she is so qualified and important why is she not teaching in an inner city Baltimore public school?

degrees are meaningless unless they are in the hard sciences IMO....especially teachers...who take these masters courses, usually all paid for by the school, and basically mumbo jumbo...

A monkey could easily pass the “education “ classes in universities today. And it wouldn’t have to even be a bright monkey.

And that degree wouldn’t be useful in any job setting anywhere. It’s not even helpful in k-12 schools.

I know first hand, I have one.

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

You mean Southern New Hampshire University? I have my MBA from there. I worked my butt off for that. It isn’t a diploma mill.

Strangely enough I also have a Master’s degree and I still get called “uneducated” from time to time by the left. Almost as if the word “uneducated”, when spoken by an SJW, means “doesn’t agree with me” rather than “lacking in education”.
