I understand. Both my brother and my sister-in-law were teachers. I watched the slow leftward brainwashing that affected even them somewhat.
But no one can get to the goal without a good map. The map needs to lead toward the Declaration, the Constitution, and our American culture. We need to be in on the drawing of the map.

Agreed. If you win your seat, take a close look at the curriculum (of course). But also take a close look at what’s being presented during the in-service days.
When I first started teaching, the in-service presentations were straightforward. If you were, say, a chemistry teacher, you’d go to a presentation that would introduce you to new lab techniques.
But now these in-services are more like political indoctrinations. You are supposed to just sit there while some “consultant” lectures you about social issues.
Quick story: At one of these indoctrinations, the presenter started things out by telling each table to pick a name for themselves. The gym teachers all sat together. They called themselves “The Coaches”.
I sat with some conservative teacher friends. We called ourselves “The Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy”. The presenter was not amused. But we were.
By the way, this was at an inner-city high school. I’m guessing that maybe 40% of the teachers were Ronald Reagan conservatives. I know that will surprise some people.
