Can Schoolteachers be Trusted?
American Thinker ^ | 10 Oct, 2025 | James Stansbury

Posted on 10/10/2025 4:58:24 AM PDT by MtnClimber

Public schools depend on a degree of consensus from parents and taxpayers regarding the basics of what their students are being taught. This trust is especially important in these chaotic times when many parents across the country have discovered that their schools are teaching children in a way contrary to their family and religious values by indoctrinating them with creepy views on gender and sexuality.

I know of several high schools in Virginia caught in shameful gender and sexuality-related issues. Two noteworthy incidents happened in Loudoun County in very blue northern Virginia. The first involved a boy (claiming to be girl) who raped a girl in the girl’s restroom and the school covered it up and transferred the boy to another school where he repeated the offense. The news went viral due to a video of the girl’s father being violently removed from a school board meeting for complaining about it.

The second incident had a reverse twist. This happened last year when the "Loudoun Three" boys were charged for Title IX "sexual harassment." Their “crime” was asking a girl (claiming to be a boy) why she was in their locker room and videoing them. Since then, the charges were mysteriously dropped for the Muslim boy while the two Christian boys got an additional charge of "sex-based discrimination”!

A third incident happened a few days ago on Oct. 1st in a rural high school west of Charlottesville, VA. This happened after it was announced that Victoria Cobb, President of The Family Foundation of Virginia will speak about the biological truth that there are two genders -- male and female at the school’s TPUSA chapter’s regular lunchtime meeting. Her permission to speak came only after some outside public pressure and added legal muscle from the Founding Freedoms Law Center.

All classrooms should have cameras accessible to parents.

I'd argue they should be available to all taxpayers in the district.

Usually it is just a desire for complete domination and control. Often the reason is darker.

I think a lot of people become teachers because they think it will be easy.

The teachers are no longer exempt from criticism, they are now totally complicit in the teacher unions corruption of our students.

I’m still waiting for the sickening rationalization that I often see here that goes: “Yes, all public schools (and teachers) suck, but with one exception, the schools that my kids go. Those teachers are the salt of the Earth, heck, I even ran into one at our local supermarket!”

I'm afraid of that being a privacy issue. Parents wouldn't want just anybody watching their kids. Pedos would like that access.

The camera need only be on the teacher and if they are worried about privacy, start with audio.

For many teachers their job is a gravy train for them. For some it is an opportunity for immorality and corruption. For a few it is a commitment to the proper education of students.

Pathetic.

In July 2020 during shutdowns I had PT after hip replacement. A school teacher had her sessions the same times I did.

When talking with her therapist, she never shut up about reopening the schools — whining that it might happen. Not once did she mention the kids; the focus was on her laziness 100% of the time. There was a lot of eye rolling and raised eyebrows among the rest of us other people there.

I forwarded to my sister, and she’ll probably forward to her kids. One of her grandchildren is homeschooled. The other three go to public school and their mother refuses to send them to private school, even though Sis would pay.

You’re right. In Ohio HS has to have 1001 hours of instruction. That translates into a part time job with a full time salary. Elementary is even less 910 hours.

Former public school Math teacher...

Devoted 5 minute lesson to binary (1/0).

That’s as close as I got...

There are certainly a lot of good teachers who mean well an want to do good, but too many of them sadly look the other way, lest they imperil their cushy benefits. The problem comes from the top down. The only solution is private and home schooling.

I don’t worry about the parking spots. All they can do is report you to the principal. ;-)

I’m in my mid-50’s and quasi-retired. I told my wife that part of my financial planning to retire early is to be able to teach math to our grandkids when they come of age, since our young-adult “kids” have said they want to home school.

Good. My dead mother in law was a school teacher and a union representative and despised Ronald Reagan.

Self-serving, arrogant leftist teachers brainwashed generations of students to grow up hating whites, males, Americans and our representative Republic and Constitution.

They deserve to suffer.

With AI your child could probably make a good living as a teacher for private students.
